耶稣治愈军官的仆人
7 耶稣讲完了他想说的话，就到迦百农去了。 2 那里有个罗马军官，他的仆人病得奄奄一息了，这个军官很器重这个仆人。 3 所以，当他听到有关耶稣的消息时，便派了几个年长的犹太首领去见他，请求他前来救他仆人的性命。 4 他们见到耶稣时，就迫切地恳求道∶“这个人值得你的帮助， 5 因为他爱护我们人民，还为我们建了会堂。”
6 耶稣便和他们一同前往，当耶稣走到他家附近时，军官又派他的朋友们对耶稣说∶“主啊，请不必劳驾到我家里来，因为我不配请你进我家， 7 这也是为什么我没有冒昧地来见你的原因，但是，您只要吩咐一声，我的仆人就会得到治愈的。 8 因为我自己上有长官，下有士兵，如果我对这个士兵说∶“离开”，他就会离开；如果我对另一个说“过来”，他就会过来，如果我对我的奴仆说∶“你做这个，”他就会照办。”
9 耶稣听到这些话，非常惊讶，转身对跟随他的人群说∶“我告诉你们吧，甚至在以色列 [a]，我都没有见过这样的信仰呢。” 10 那些被派去找耶稣的人回去时，发现那个仆人的病已经好了。
寡妇的儿子从死里复活
11 第二天，耶稣来到一个叫拿因的城镇。耶稣的门徒和一大群人跟随着他。 12 耶稣走到城门附近时，看见人们抬着一个死人从城里出来。死者是个寡妇的独生子。当时那个城里的很多人陪着寡妇为她的儿子送殡。 13 当主看到那个寡妇时，心里充满了怜悯，便对她说道∶“别哭了。” 14 然后，耶稣走上前去，用手摸着棺材。抬棺材的人停住了脚步。耶稣说道∶“年轻人，我吩咐你，起来！” 15 那个死人果真坐了起来，并且开始讲话。耶稣把他交还给了他的母亲。
16 众人都充满了敬畏，并且颂扬上帝说∶“伟大的先知在我们中间兴起了！”还说“上帝来帮助他的子民了！”
17 关于耶稣的消息传遍了犹太和附近的地区。
约翰派人去见耶稣
18 约翰的门徒把这些事告诉给了约翰。于是，约翰就叫来两个门徒， 19 派他们去问主∶“你是我们听说将要来临的那位吗，或者我们还是应该等待另一个人呢？”
20 于是，这些人来见耶稣，他们说道∶“施洗礼者约翰派我们来问你∶‘你是将要来临的那位吗，或者我们还是应该等待另一个人呢？’”
21 那时，耶稣治好了很多患有疾病、受尽折磨和被邪灵缠身的人，他还让很多盲人重见了光明。 22 所以，他回答约翰的门徒说∶“去把你们的所见所闻都告诉约翰吧：盲人获得视力，瘸子行走自如，麻风病人得到痊愈，聋子能听见，死去的人复活，穷苦人得到上帝的福音， 23 能够接受 [b]我的人会受到祝福！”
24 约翰派来的使者离开后，耶稣便向人们谈起有关约翰的事情∶“你们以前出去到旷野里去看什么？是看随风摇曳的野草 [c]吗？ 25 不是？那么你们究竟出去看什么呢？是去看衣着华贵的人吗？当然不是，衣着华贵、生活奢侈的人都住在皇宫里。 26 那么你们出去看什么呢？是一位先知吗？是的，我告诉你们，你们看见的人不仅仅是一位先知！ 27 《经》上关于他是这样记载的：
‘听着！在你之前，
我（上帝）要派出我的使者，
他将为你准备好道路。’ (A)
28 我告诉你们，人间出生的人没有一个比约翰更伟大，但是在上帝的王国里最渺小的人都比他伟大。”
29 （所有听了耶稣的话的人，甚至包括税吏们，都接受了约翰的洗礼，承认上帝的道是正确的。 30 但是，那些法利赛人和律法师却不接受洗礼，拒绝了上帝为他们的安排。） 31 “那么，我把这一代人比作什么人呢？他们像什么呢？ 32 他们就像坐在集市上的一群孩子，彼此召唤着说：
‘我们为你们吹笛奏乐，
你们却不起舞；
我们唱葬歌，
你们却不哭泣。’
33 施洗礼者约翰来了，他既不吃平常的食物，也不喝酒，你们就说∶‘他被鬼缠身了，’ 34 人子来了，他又吃又喝，你们又说∶‘瞧瞧，这个人贪吃贪喝，和税吏和罪人交朋友。’ 35 但是，通过那些接受智慧的人，智慧被证实是正确的。”
法利赛人西门
36 有个法利赛人，邀请耶稣和他一起去吃饭，耶稣便去了他家，倚靠在桌边。 37 当地有一个女人，她是个罪人。当她得知耶稣在那个法利赛人家里吃饭时，就拿着一个装着香膏的雪花石瓶来到了这个法利赛人家里。 38 这个女人站在耶稣的身后，在耶稣的脚边哭泣着，她的泪水打湿了耶稣的脚，她就用自己的头发去擦，并吻耶稣的脚，还把香膏抹在他的脚上。 39 那个请客的法利赛人看到这个情景，不禁暗想：如果这个人是先知，那么他应该知道这个碰他的女人是哪一类人，也应该知道她是个罪人。
40 耶稣看出了他的心思，便对他说∶“西门，我有话要对你说。”
西门答道∶“老师，请讲。”
41 耶稣对他说∶“从前，有两个人同欠一个债主的债。其中一个人欠了五百块银币；另一个人欠了五十块银币。 42 因为这两个人都无力偿还，债主就慷慨地把他俩的债都免了。这样，你说他们两个人中，哪一个更爱这个债主？”
43 西门回答道∶“我想是那个获得宽恕多的人。”
耶稣说∶“你判断得对。” 44 然后，他又转向那女人，对西门说∶“你看见这个女人了吧？我进了你家，你并没有给我水洗脚，可是，这个女人却用她的泪水洗了我的脚，然后又用自己的头发去擦； 45 你没有用亲吻欢迎我，可这个女人从一进门就开始不停地亲吻我的脚； 46 你没有用油抹我的头，可她却用香膏抹我的脚。 47 因此，我告诉你，她的许多罪孽被宽恕了，因为她表现出了深厚的爱；得到宽恕少的人，爱心就少。”
48 耶稣又对那个女人说∶“你的罪被宽恕了！” 49 于是，那些和耶稣一起吃饭的人不免在心里暗想∶“这个竟能宽恕罪过的人是谁呢？”
50 但是耶稣却对那个女人说∶“你的信仰救了你，平平安安地走吧。”

Jesus Heals a Soldier’s Servant
7 When Jesus finished saying all these things to the people, he went to Capernaum. 2 There was an army officer who had a servant who was very important to him. The servant was so sick he was nearly dead. 3 When the officer heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to him to ask Jesus to come and heal his servant. 4 The men went to Jesus and begged him, saying, “This officer is worthy of your help. 5 He loves our people, and he built us a synagogue.”
6 So Jesus went with the men. He was getting near the officer’s house when the officer sent friends to say, “Lord, don’t trouble yourself, because I am not worthy to have you come into my house. 7 That is why I did not come to you myself. But you only need to command it, and my servant will be healed. 8 I, too, am a man under the authority of others, and I have soldiers under my command. I tell one soldier, ‘Go,’ and he goes. I tell another soldier, ‘Come,’ and he comes. I say to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and my servant does it.”
9 When Jesus heard this, he was amazed. Turning to the crowd that was following him, he said, “I tell you, this is the greatest faith I have found anywhere, even in Israel.”
10 Those who had been sent to Jesus went back to the house where they found the servant in good health.
Jesus Brings a Man Back to Life
11 Soon afterwards Jesus went to a town called Nain, and his followers and a large crowd traveled with him. 12 When he came near the town gate, he saw a funeral. A mother, who was a widow, had lost her only son. A large crowd from the town was with the mother while her son was being carried out. 13 When the Lord saw her, he felt very sorry for her and said, “Don’t cry.” 14 He went up and touched the coffin, and the people who were carrying it stopped. Jesus said, “Young man, I tell you, get up!” 15 And the son sat up and began to talk. Then Jesus gave him back to his mother.
16 All the people were amazed and began praising God, saying, “A great prophet has come to us! God has come to help his people.”
17 This news about Jesus spread through all Judea and into all the places around there.
John Asks a Question
18 John’s followers told him about all these things. He called for two of his followers 19 and sent them to the Lord to ask, “Are you the One who is to come, or should we wait for someone else?”
20 When the men came to Jesus, they said, “John the Baptist sent us to you with this question: ‘Are you the One who is to come, or should we wait for someone else?’”
21 At that time, Jesus healed many people of their sicknesses, diseases, and evil spirits, and he gave sight to many blind people. 22 Then Jesus answered John’s followers, “Go tell John what you saw and heard here. The blind can see, the crippled can walk, and people with skin diseases are healed. The deaf can hear, the dead are raised to life, and the Good News is preached to the poor. 23 Those who do not stumble in their faith because of me are blessed!”
24 When John’s followers left, Jesus began talking to the people about John: “What did you go out into the desert to see? A reed[a] blown by the wind? 25 What did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? No, people who have fine clothes and much wealth live in kings’ palaces. 26 But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, and I tell you, John is more than a prophet. 27 This was written about him:
‘I will send my messenger ahead of you,
who will prepare the way for you.’ Malachi 3:1
28 I tell you, John is greater than any other person ever born, but even the least important person in the kingdom of God is greater than John.”
29 (When the people, including the tax collectors, heard this, they all agreed that God’s teaching was good, because they had been baptized by John. 30 But the Pharisees and experts on the law refused to accept God’s plan for themselves; they did not let John baptize them.)
31 Then Jesus said, “What shall I say about the people of this time? What are they like? 32 They are like children sitting in the marketplace, calling to one another and saying,
‘We played music for you, but you did not dance;
we sang a sad song, but you did not cry.’
33 John the Baptist came and did not eat bread or drink wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon in him.’ 34 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look at him! He eats too much and drinks too much wine, and he is a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ 35 But wisdom is proved to be right by what it does.”
A Woman Washes Jesus’ Feet
36 One of the Pharisees asked Jesus to eat with him, so Jesus went into the Pharisee’s house and sat at the table. 37 A sinful woman in the town learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee’s house. So she brought an alabaster jar of perfume 38 and stood behind Jesus at his feet, crying. She began to wash his feet with her tears, and she dried them with her hair, kissing them many times and rubbing them with the perfume. 39 When the Pharisee who asked Jesus to come to his house saw this, he thought to himself, “If Jesus were a prophet, he would know that the woman touching him is a sinner!”
40 Jesus said to the Pharisee, “Simon, I have something to say to you.”
Simon said, “Teacher, tell me.”
41 Jesus said, “Two people owed money to the same banker. One owed five hundred coins[b] and the other owed fifty. 42 They had no money to pay what they owed, but the banker told both of them they did not have to pay him. Which person will love the banker more?”
43 Simon, the Pharisee, answered, “I think it would be the one who owed him the most money.”
Jesus said to Simon, “You are right.” 44 Then Jesus turned toward the woman and said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? When I came into your house, you gave me no water for my feet, but she washed my feet with her tears and dried them with her hair. 45 You gave me no kiss of greeting, but she has been kissing my feet since I came in. 46 You did not put oil on my head, but she poured perfume on my feet. 47 I tell you that her many sins are forgiven, so she showed great love. But the person who is forgiven only a little will love only a little.”
48 Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
49 The people sitting at the table began to say among themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”
50 Jesus said to the woman, “Because you believed, you are saved from your sins. Go in peace.”

백인대장의 종을 고쳐 주시다
(마 8:5-13; 요 4:43-54)
7 예수께서 사람들에게 이런 말씀을 다 하신 뒤에 가버나움[a]으로 가셨다. 2 거기에 어떤 백인대장[b]이 있었다. 그 백인대장의 종 한 사람이 병들어 거의 죽게 되었다. 그 종은 백인대장이 매우 아끼는 종이었다. 3 백인대장은 예수에 관한 이야기를 듣고 유대 사람 장로[c] 몇 사람을 보냈다. 예수께서 오셔서 자기 종을 살려 달라고 청하려는 것이었다. 4 장로들은 예수께 와서 간절히 청하였다. “백인대장은 선생님께서 도와주실 만한 사람입니다. 5 그는 우리 민족을 사랑하고, 우리에게 회당도 지어 주었습니다.”
6 그래서 예수께서 장로들과 함께 가셨다. 그 집 가까이에 이르셨을 때에, 백인대장은 친구들을 보내어 예수께 이렇게 말씀드리게 하였다. “주님, 주님께서 수고스럽게 일부러 오시지 않아도 됩니다. 저는 주님을 제 집에 모실 만한 자격이 없습니다. 7 그래서 저는 주님을 뵈러 갈 엄두도 내지 못하였습니다. 주님께서 말씀만 해 주십시오. 그러면 제 종이 나을 것입니다. 8 제 위로는 상관들이 있고 제 아래로는 부하들이 있습니다. 그래서 권한이 무엇인지 알고 있습니다. 제가 이 부하에게 ‘가라!’ 고 하면 갑니다. 그리고 저 부하에게 ‘오라!’ 고 하면 옵니다. 그리고 제 종에게 ‘이것을 하여라!’ 고 하면 합니다.”
9 예수께서 이 말을 들으시고 감탄하셨다. 예수께서 뒤따라오던 사람들을 돌아보고 말씀하셨다 “내가 너희 모두에게 이르는데, 이스라엘[d]에서도 이런 믿음을 본 일이 없다.”
10 그 친구들이 백인대장의 집으로 돌아가 보니, 종은 벌써 나아 있었다.
죽었던 사람을 살리시다
11 조금 뒤에 예수께서 나인이라는 마을로 가셨다. 예수의 제자들과 다른 많은 사람들이 따라갔다. 12 예수께서 성문 가까이 가셨을 때 장례 행렬이 다가오고 있었다. 죽은 사람은 어떤 홀어미의 외아들이었다. 그 고을의 많은 사람이 장례 행렬을 따르고 있었다. 13 주께서는 그 어머니를 보고 불쌍한 마음이 드셨다. 그래서 그 어머니에게 말씀하셨다. “울지 말아라.”
14 예수께서 상여로 다가가 손을 대시자, 상여를 메고 가던 사람들이 걸음을 멈추었다. 예수께서 죽은 젊은이를 향해 말씀하셨다. “젊은이여, 일어나거라!” 15 그러자 죽었던 젊은이가 일어나 앉아 말을 하기 시작하였다. 예수께서 그 젊은이를 어머니에게 돌려주셨다.
16 사람들은 모두 두려워하며 하나님을 찬양하였다. “우리에게 위대한 예언자가 나타나셨다. 하나님께서 당신의 백성을 도우려고 오셨다!”
17 예수에 대한 소식은 유대 지방과 그 둘레에 있는 모든 지역으로 퍼져 나갔다.
세례자 요한이 예수께 여쭙다
(마 11:2-19)
18 요한의 제자들이 이 모든 일을 요한에게 이야기하였다. 요한이 제자들 가운데 두 사람을 불러, 19 주께 가서 이렇게 여쭈어 보라고 하였다. “당신이 오시기로 되어 있는 그분이십니까, 아니면 저희가 다른 분을 기다려야 합니까?”
20 그들이 예수께 와서 말하였다. “세례자 요한이 선생님께 여쭈어 보라고 저희를 보냈습니다. 선생님께서 오시기로 되어 있는 그분이신지, 아니면 저희가 다른 분을 기다려야 하는지를 말씀해 주십시오.”
21 마침 그때에 예수께서는 질병과 고통과 악령으로 시달리는 많은 사람을 고쳐 주시고, 많은 눈먼 사람들을 보게 해 주셨다. 22 예수께서 대답하셨다. “요한에게 가서 너희가 보고 들은 것을 보고하여라. 눈먼 사람이 보고, 다리 저는 사람이 걷고, 나병환자들이 낫고, 귀먹은 사람이 듣고, 죽은 사람이 다시 살아난다. 그리고 가난한 사람들에게 기쁜 소식이 전파되고 있다. 23 내가 하는 이런 일 때문에 나를 거부하지 않는 사람은 복이 있다.”
24 요한이 보낸 사람들이 돌아간 뒤에, 예수께서 사람들에게 요한에 대하여 말씀하셨다. “너희가 무엇을 보러 광야에 나갔더냐? 바람에 흔들리는 갈대[e]를 보러 갔었느냐? 25 아니면 무엇을 보러 갔었느냐? 좋은 옷을 입은 사람을 보러 갔었느냐? 좋은 옷을 입고 사치스럽게 사는 사람들은 궁전에 있다. 26 그러면 너희는 무엇을 보러 갔었느냐? 예언자를 보러 갔었느냐? 그렇다. 내가 너희에게 말한다. 요한은 예언자보다 더 위대한 인물이다. 27 성경에는 요한을 두고 이렇게 쓰여 있다.
‘보라
내가 너보다 앞서
내 심부름꾼을 보내리니
그가 네 앞에서 네 길을 닦을 것이다.’(A)
28 내가 너희에게 말한다. 여자의 몸에서 태어난 사람 가운데 요한보다 더 위대한 사람은 없다. 그러나 하나님 나라에서 가장 낮은 사람도 요한보다 위대하다.
29 (요한의 선포를 들은 모든 사람은, 심지어 세무원[f]들까지도 하나님의 길이 옳다고 인정하였다. 이들은 요한의 세례를 받았기 때문이었다. 30 그러나 바리새파 사람들과 율법 선생들은 요한의 세례를 받지 않음으로써, 하나님께서 자기들을 위해 세워 놓으신 계획을 거부하였다.)
31 그러니 내가 이 세대 사람을 무엇에 비길까? 이 사람들이 무엇과 같다고 할 수 있을까? 32 이 세대 사람은 장터에 앉아 있는 아이들과 같다. 한 떼의 아이들이 다른 떼의 아이들에게 이렇게 말한다.
‘우리가 너희를 위해 피리를 불어도
너희는 춤추지 않았고
우리가 슬픈 장송곡을 노래하여도
너희는 울지 않았다.’
33 너희는 세례자 요한이 와서 밥도 먹지 않고 술도 마시지 않자, ‘요한은 귀신 들렸다.’ 라고 말하였다. 34 그러나 사람의 아들이 와서 먹고 마시자, ‘보라, 저 사람은 먹보요 술꾼이요 세무원들과 죄인들의 친구이다.’ 라고 말한다. 35 그러나 하나님의 지혜가 옳다는 것은, 지혜를 받아들인 사람들에 의해서 증명된다.”
바리새파 사람 시몬
36 어떤 바리새파 사람이 예수께 음식을 대접하려고 자기 집으로 초대하였다. 예수께서 그 사람의 집에 들어가 상 앞에 앉으셨다. 37 그 마을에는 죄 많은 삶을 살아온 여자가 한 사람 살고 있었다. 그 여자는 예수께서 바리새파 사람의 집에 초대된 것을 알고는 향유[g]가 담긴 옥합[h]을 가지고 그 집으로 갔다. 38 여자는 예수의 뒤로 가서 발치에 서서 울며 눈물로 예수의 발을 적셨다. 여자는 자기 머리카락으로 예수의 발을 닦고, 예수의 발에 입을 맞추며 향유를 부었다. 39 예수를 청했던 바리새파 사람이 그것을 보고 속으로 생각하였다. “저 사람이 예언자라면, 자기에게 손댄 저 여자가 죄인이라는 것도 알았을 것이다.”
40 예수께서 그 사람에게 말씀하셨다. “시몬아, 네게 할 말이 있다.”
시몬이 대답하였다. “예, 말씀하십시오, 선생님.”
41 “어떤 돈놀이꾼에게 빚진 사람이 둘 있었다. 한 사람은 오백 데나리온[i]을 빚지고, 또 한 사람은 오십 데나리온을 빚졌다. 42 두 사람 다 빚을 갚을 돈이 없어서 돈놀이꾼이 두 사람의 빚을 없는 것으로 해 주었다. 그러면 두 사람 가운데 누가 그를 더 사랑하겠느냐?”
43 시몬이 대답하였다. “더 많은 빚을 면제 받은 사람이겠지요.”
예수께서 말씀하셨다. “옳은 말이다.” 44 그리고 그 여자를 돌아보시며 시몬에게 말씀하셨다. “이 여자를 보라. 내가 네 집에 들어왔을 때, 너는 내게 발 씻을 물도 주지 않았다. 그러나 이 여자는 눈물로 내 발을 씻어 주고 자기 머리카락으로 닦아 주었다. 45 너는 내게 입 맞추지 않았지만, 이 여자는 내가 들어서는 순간부터 지금까지 계속하여 내 발에 입 맞추었다. 46 너는 내 머리에 기름을 발라 주지 않았지만, 이 여자는 내 발에 향유를 발라 주었다. 47 그러므로 내가 분명히 말한다. 이 여자는 많은 죄를 다 용서받았다. 이 여자가 이렇게 큰 사랑을 보이는 것으로 보아 분명한 사실이다. 그러나 용서받은 것이 적은 사람은 적게 사랑한다.”
48 그리고 그 여자에게 말씀하셨다. “네 죄는 용서받았다.”
49 그러자 예수와 함께 음식을 먹고 있던 사람들이 자기들끼리 수군거리기 시작하였다. “이 사람이 누구이기에 죄를 용서하기까지 하는가?”
50 예수께서 그 여자에게 말씀하셨다. “네 믿음이 너를 구원하였다. 평안히 가거라.”

The Faith of the Centurion(A)
7 When Jesus had finished saying all this(B) to the people who were listening, he entered Capernaum. 2 There a centurion’s servant, whom his master valued highly, was sick and about to die. 3 The centurion heard of Jesus and sent some elders of the Jews to him, asking him to come and heal his servant. 4 When they came to Jesus, they pleaded earnestly with him, “This man deserves to have you do this, 5 because he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.” 6 So Jesus went with them.
He was not far from the house when the centurion sent friends to say to him: “Lord, don’t trouble yourself, for I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. 7 That is why I did not even consider myself worthy to come to you. But say the word, and my servant will be healed.(C) 8 For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and that one, ‘Come,’ and he comes. I say to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
9 When Jesus heard this, he was amazed at him, and turning to the crowd following him, he said, “I tell you, I have not found such great faith even in Israel.” 10 Then the men who had been sent returned to the house and found the servant well.
Jesus Raises a Widow’s Son(D)
11 Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went along with him. 12 As he approached the town gate, a dead person was being carried out—the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her. 13 When the Lord(E) saw her, his heart went out to her and he said, “Don’t cry.”
14 Then he went up and touched the bier they were carrying him on, and the bearers stood still. He said, “Young man, I say to you, get up!”(F) 15 The dead man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus gave him back to his mother.
16 They were all filled with awe(G) and praised God.(H) “A great prophet(I) has appeared among us,” they said. “God has come to help his people.”(J) 17 This news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and the surrounding country.(K)
Jesus and John the Baptist(L)
18 John’s(M) disciples(N) told him about all these things. Calling two of them, 19 he sent them to the Lord to ask, “Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?”
20 When the men came to Jesus, they said, “John the Baptist sent us to you to ask, ‘Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?’”
21 At that very time Jesus cured many who had diseases, sicknesses(O) and evil spirits, and gave sight to many who were blind. 22 So he replied to the messengers, “Go back and report to John what you have seen and heard: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy[a] are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor.(P) 23 Blessed is anyone who does not stumble on account of me.”
24 After John’s messengers left, Jesus began to speak to the crowd about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swayed by the wind? 25 If not, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? No, those who wear expensive clothes and indulge in luxury are in palaces. 26 But what did you go out to see? A prophet?(Q) Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. 27 This is the one about whom it is written:
28 I tell you, among those born of women there is no one greater than John; yet the one who is least in the kingdom of God(S) is greater than he.”
29 (All the people, even the tax collectors, when they heard Jesus’ words, acknowledged that God’s way was right, because they had been baptized by John.(T) 30 But the Pharisees and the experts in the law(U) rejected God’s purpose for themselves, because they had not been baptized by John.)
31 Jesus went on to say, “To what, then, can I compare the people of this generation? What are they like? 32 They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling out to each other:
“‘We played the pipe for you,
and you did not dance;
we sang a dirge,
and you did not cry.’
33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine,(V) and you say, ‘He has a demon.’ 34 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’(W) 35 But wisdom is proved right by all her children.”
Jesus Anointed by a Sinful Woman(X)(Y)
36 When one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to have dinner with him, he went to the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table. 37 A woman in that town who lived a sinful life learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee’s house, so she came there with an alabaster jar of perfume. 38 As she stood behind him at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears. Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them and poured perfume on them.
39 When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet,(Z) he would know who is touching him and what kind of woman she is—that she is a sinner.”
40 Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.”
“Tell me, teacher,” he said.
41 “Two people owed money to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii,[c] and the other fifty. 42 Neither of them had the money to pay him back, so he forgave the debts of both. Now which of them will love him more?”
43 Simon replied, “I suppose the one who had the bigger debt forgiven.”
“You have judged correctly,” Jesus said.
44 Then he turned toward the woman and said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I came into your house. You did not give me any water for my feet,(AA) but she wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. 45 You did not give me a kiss,(AB) but this woman, from the time I entered, has not stopped kissing my feet. 46 You did not put oil on my head,(AC) but she has poured perfume on my feet. 47 Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven—as her great love has shown. But whoever has been forgiven little loves little.”
48 Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”(AD)
49 The other guests began to say among themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”
50 Jesus said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you;(AE) go in peace.”(AF)
