Credinţa centurionului
7 După ce a terminat Isus de spus toate aceste cuvinte în auzul poporului, a intrat în Capernaum. 2 Un sclav al unui centurion[a], pe care acesta îl aprecia, era bolnav, aproape de moarte. 3 Când centurionul a auzit despre Isus, i-a trimis la El pe nişte bătrâni[b] ai iudeilor, ca să-I ceară să vină şi să-i vindece sclavul. 4 Ei au venit la Isus şi L-au rugat stăruitor, spunând: „Este vrednic să-i îndeplineşti această cerere, 5 căci iubeşte neamul nostru şi el ne-a construit sinagoga!“ 6 Isus a plecat împreună cu ei, dar n-ajunsese prea departe de casă când centurionul i-a trimis pe prietenii lui ca să-I spună: „Doamne, nu Te mai deranja, căci eu nu sunt vrednic să intri sub acoperişul Meu! 7 De aceea nici nu m-am considerat vrednic să vin eu însumi la Tine! Ci spune un cuvânt pentru ca sclavul meu să poată fi vindecat! 8 Căci şi eu, la rândul meu, sunt un om pus sub autoritate şi am şi eu soldaţi în subordinea mea. Când spun unuia: «Du-te!», el se duce, iar când spun altuia: «Vino!», el vine. De asemenea, când spun sclavului meu: «Fă cutare lucru!», el îl face.“
9 Isus s-a mirat de centurion când a auzit aceste lucruri şi S-a întors spre mulţimea care-L urma, zicând: „Vă spun că nici chiar în Israel n-am găsit o credinţă aşa de mare!“ 10 Când cei trimişi s-au întors acasă, l-au găsit pe sclav însănătoşit.
Învierea fiului văduvei din Nain
11 Curând după aceea, Isus S-a dus într-o cetate, numită Nain, iar ucenicii Lui şi o mare mulţime de oameni au mers cu El. 12 Când S-a apropiat de poarta cetăţii, tocmai era dus la mormânt un mort, singurul fiu al mamei lui, care era văduvă. O mulţime destul de mare de oameni din cetate erau împreună cu ea. 13 Când Domnul a văzut-o, I s-a făcut milă de ea şi i-a zis: „Nu plânge!“
14 Apoi S-a dus şi a atins sicriul[c], iar cei care-l duceau s-au oprit. Isus a zis: „Tinere, ţie îţi vorbesc: ridică-te!“ 15 Mortul s-a ridicat şi a început să vorbească, iar Isus l-a dat mamei sale.
16 Pe toţi i-a cuprins frica şi Îl slăveau pe Dumnezeu, zicând: „Un mare profet s-a ridicat între noi!“ şi „Dumnezeu a venit în ajutorul poporului Său!“ 17 Vestea aceasta despre El s-a răspândit în toată Iudeea[d] şi în toate împrejurimile.
Isus şi Ioan Botezătorul
18 Ucenicii lui Ioan l-au anunţat pe acesta despre toate aceste lucruri. Ioan i-a chemat pe doi dintre ucenicii săi 19 şi i-a trimis la Domnul ca să-L întrebe: „Tu eşti Cel Care urma să vină sau trebuie să aşteptăm pe altul?“
20 Ei au venit deci la Isus şi I-au zis:
– Ioan Botezătorul ne-a trimis la Tine să Te întrebăm: „Tu eşti Cel Care urma să vină sau trebuie să aşteptăm pe altul?“
21 Chiar în clipa aceea Isus i-a vindecat pe mulţi de boli, de chinuri şi de duhuri rele şi multor orbi le-a dăruit vederea.
22 Isus le-a răspuns:
– Duceţi-vă şi spuneţi-i lui Ioan ceea ce aţi văzut şi aţi auzit: orbii văd, şchiopii umblă, leproşii[e] sunt curăţiţi[f], surzii aud, morţii sunt înviaţi, iar săracilor li se vesteşte Evanghelia.[g] 23 Fericit este cel care nu se poticneşte în Mine!
24 După ce au plecat mesagerii lui Ioan, Isus a început să le vorbească mulţimilor despre Ioan: „Ce aţi ieşit să vedeţi în pustie? O trestie clătinată de vânt? 25 Atunci ce aţi ieşit să vedeţi? Un om îmbrăcat în haine fine? Iată că cei ce poartă haine deosebite şi trăiesc în lux sunt în palate! 26 Atunci ce aţi ieşit să vedeţi? Un profet? Vă spun că da, şi chiar mai mult decât un profet! 27 Acesta este cel despre care a fost scris:
«Iată, îl trimit înaintea feţei Tale pe solul Meu,
care va pregăti calea înaintea Ta!»[h]
28 Vă spun că, între cei născuţi din femei, nu este nici unul mai mare decât Ioan. Totuşi, cel mai mic în Împărăţia lui Dumnezeu este mai mare decât el.“[i]
29 Tot poporul care L-a auzit, chiar şi colectorii de taxe, au recunoscut dreptatea lui Dumnezeu, fiindcă fuseseră botezaţi cu botezul lui Ioan. 30 Însă fariseii şi experţii Legii au respins planul lui Dumnezeu pentru ei înşişi, nelăsându-se botezaţi de el.
31 „Aşadar, cu cine îi voi asemăna pe oamenii acestei generaţii şi cu cine seamănă ei? 32 Ei sunt ca nişte copii care stau în piaţă şi strigă unii la alţii:
«V-am cântat din fluier, dar n-aţi dansat;
v-am cântat de jale, dar n-aţi bocit!»
33 Căci a venit Ioan Botezătorul, nici mâncând pâine, nici bând vin, iar voi ziceţi: «Are demon!» 34 A venit Fiul Omului mâncând şi bând, iar voi ziceţi: «Iată un om mâncăcios şi băutor de vin, un prieten al colectorilor de taxe şi al păcătoşilor[j]!» 35 Totuşi, înţelepciunea este îndreptăţită prin toţi copiii ei.“
Femeia păcătoasă şi pilda cu cei doi datornici
36 Unul dintre farisei L-a rugat pe Isus să mănânce cu el. Isus a intrat în casa fariseului şi S-a aşezat să mănânce. 37 Şi iată că o femeie păcătoasă din cetate, aflând că El era la masă în casa fariseului, a adus un vas de alabastru plin cu parfum. 38 Stând în spate, la picioarele lui Isus, şi plângând, ea a început să-I stropească picioarele cu lacrimile ei şi să le şteargă cu părul ei; şi-I săruta picioarele şi I le ungea cu parfum.
39 Când a văzut acest lucru, fariseul care-L chemase la masă şi-a zis: „Dacă Acesta ar fi profet, ar şti cine şi ce fel de femeie este cea care-L atinge, ar şti că este o păcătoasă!“ 40 Isus i-a zis:
– Simon, am ceva să-ţi spun!
– Spune, Învăţătorule! a răspuns el.
41 – Un anume cămătar avea doi datornici. Unul îi datora cinci sute de denari[k], iar celălalt, cincizeci. 42 Fiindcă n-aveau cu ce să plătească, i-a iertat pe amândoi. Prin urmare, care dintre ei îl va iubi mai mult?
43 Simon I-a răspuns:
– Presupun că acela căruia i-a iertat mai mult!
Isus i-a zis:
– Ai judecat drept.
44 Apoi, întorcându-Se către femeie, i-a zis lui Simon:
– Vezi femeia aceasta? Eu am intrat în casa ta şi tu nu Mi-ai dat apă pentru spălat picioarele, dar ea Mi-a stropit picioarele cu lacrimile ei şi Mi le-a şters cu părul ei. 45 Tu nu Mi-ai dat sărutare, dar ea, de când am intrat, nu încetează să-Mi sărute picioarele. 46 Tu nu Mi-ai uns capul cu untdelemn, dar ea Mi-a uns picioarele cu parfum. 47 De aceea îţi spun că păcatele ei cele multe sunt iertate, căci a iubit mult. Dar cel căruia i se iartă puţin, iubeşte puţin.
48 Apoi i-a zis femeii: „Păcatele îţi sunt iertate!“
49 Cei ce mâncau la masă împreună cu El au început să-şi zică între ei: „Cine este Acesta Care iartă şi păcatele?!“ 50 Dar El i-a zis femeii: „Credinţa ta te-a mântuit. Du-te în pace!“

Pinagaling ni Jesus ang Alipin ng Isang Kapitan(A)
7 Nang matapos ni Jesus ang lahat ng kanyang sasabihin sa mga taong nakikinig ay pumasok siya sa Capernaum. 2 Doon ay may isang kapitan ng mga kawal na may aliping maysakit at nasa bingit na ng kamatayan. Ito ay napamahal na sa kanya. 3 Kaya nang marinig ang tungkol kay Jesus, isinugo niya ang ilan sa mga pinuno ng mga Judio upang makiusap kay Jesus na dalawin siya at pagalingin ang kanyang alipin. 4 Sa kanilang pagharap kay Jesus ay pinakiusapan nila ito nang mabuti. Sinabi nila, “Siya ay karapat-dapat na paunlakan ninyo, 5 sapagkat mahal niya ang ating bansa. Ipinagpatayo pa niya tayo ng sinagoga.” 6 Kaya naman sumama sa kanila si Jesus; ngunit hindi kalayuan mula sa bahay ay ipinasalubong na siya ng kapitan sa kanyang mga kaibigan upang sabihin sa kanya, “Panginoon, huwag na po kayong mag-abala pa sapagkat hindi ako karapat-dapat na inyong sadyain sa loob ng aking bahay. 7 At hindi ko rin itinuring na karapat-dapat ang aking sarili na humarap sa inyo. Ngunit ipag-utos po lamang ninyo at gagaling na ang aking alipin. 8 Ako man ay taong nasa ilalim ng kapangyarihan at may mga kawal na nasasakupan. Sabihin ko lang sa isa, ‘Humayo ka!’ at siya ay hahayo. Sa isa naman, ‘Halika!’ at siya ay lalapit. Gayon din sa aking alipin, ‘Gawin mo ito!’ at gagawin nga niya.” 9 Namangha si Jesus pagkarinig dito at pagbaling niya sa mga taong sumusunod sa kanya ay nagsabi, “Sinasabi ko sa inyo, hindi ako nakakita ng ganitong pananampalataya sa Israel!” 10 At pagbalik nila sa bahay ng nagsugo sa kanila ay nakita nilang magaling na ang alipin.
Binuhay ni Jesus ang Anak ng Balo
11 Kinabukasan, pumunta si Jesus sa isang bayang kung tawagin ay Nain at sumama sa kanya ang kanyang mga alagad at ang napakaraming tao. 12 Nang malapit na sila sa bungad ng bayan ay naroon at ililibing ang namatay na kaisa-isang anak na lalaki ng kanyang inang balo. Napakaraming taong nakipaglibing sa kanya mula sa bayan. 13 Nahabag ang Panginoon nang makita ang balo at sinabi sa kanya, “Huwag kang umiyak!” 14 At paglapit ay hinipo niya ang kinalalagyan ng patay at tumigil naman ang mga nagbubuhat. Sinabi niya, “Binata, inuutusan kita. Bumangon ka!” 15 Umupo naman ang namatay at nagsimulang magsalita. Ibinigay ito ni Jesus sa kanyang ina. 16 Nabalot ng takot ang lahat at niluwalhati nila ang Diyos sa pagsasabing, “Dumating sa atin ang isang dakilang propeta at dinalaw ng Diyos ang kanyang bayan.” 17 Kumalat sa buong Judea at sa mga nakapaligid na lugar ang balitang ito tungkol sa kanya.
Ang mga Sugo mula kay Juan na Tagapagbautismo(B)
18 Ibinalita kay Juan ng mga alagad nito ang tungkol sa lahat ng mga ito. Kaya't tinawag ni Juan ang dalawa sa kanyang mga alagad 19 at isinugo sila sa Panginoon upang magtanong, “Ikaw na ba ang aming pinakahihintay o maghihintay pa kami ng iba?” 20 Pagdating ng mga lalaking ito kay Jesus ay kanilang sinabi, “Isinugo kami ni Juan na Tagapagbautismo upang magtanong, ‘Ikaw na ba ang aming pinakahihintay o maghihintay pa kami ng iba?’ ” 21 Nang oras na iyon ay marami siyang pinagaling sa karamdaman, sa salot at sa masasamang espiritu. Marami ring bulag na binigyan niya ng paningin. 22 Kaya't sinabi niya sa mga sugo ni Juan, “Humayo kayo at ibalita ninyo kay Juan ang inyong mga nakita at narinig: Nakakakitang muli ang mga bulag, nakalalakad ang mga pilay, gumagaling ang mga ketongin, nakaririnig ang mga bingi, muling nabubuhay ang mga patay, at ibinabahagi sa mahihirap ang mabuting balita. 23 Pinagpapala ang taong hindi mag-aalinlangan sa akin.” 24 Nang makaalis ang mga isinugo ni Juan ay nagsimulang magsabi si Jesus sa mga tao ng tungkol kay Juan, “Ano ang sinadya ninyo sa ilang upang makita? Isang tambo na idinuduyan ng hangin? 25 Ano nga ba ang sinadya ninyo upang makita? Isang lalaking nabibihisan ng magarang damit? Naroon sa palasyo ng mga hari ang mga nakasuot ng magagara at namumuhay nang marangya. 26 Subalit ano nga ba ang sinadya ninyo upang makita? Isang propeta? Oo nga! Sinasabi ko sa inyo, siya'y higit pa sa isang propeta. 27 Siya ang tinutukoy ng Kasulatan,
‘Narito at ipinadadala ko ang aking sugo na mauna sa iyong harapan.
Siya ang maghahanda para sa iyo ng iyong daraanan.’
28 Sinasabi ko sa inyo, walang sinuman sa mga taong isinilang ang higit na dakila kaysa kay Juan, ngunit ang pinakahamak sa kaharian ng Diyos ay mas dakila pa sa kanya.” 29 Ang lahat ng taong nakarinig pati na ang mga maniningil ng buwis ay kumilala sa katuwiran ng Diyos dahil binautismuhan sila ng bautismo ni Juan. 30 Ngunit dahil hindi nagpabautismo sa kanya ang mga Fariseo at ang mga dalubhasa sa Kautusan, tinanggihan nila ang layunin ng Diyos para sa kanila.
31 “Saan ko ngayon maihahambing ang mga tao ng kasalukuyang panahon? Ano ang katulad nila? 32 Tulad nila'y mga batang nakaupo sa pamilihan at nagsasabi sa isa't isa,
‘Tinugtugan namin kayo ng plauta ngunit hindi kayo sumayaw!
Nanaghoy kami ngunit hindi kayo umiyak!’
33 Sapagkat dumating si Juan na Tagapagbautismo na hindi kumakain ng tinapay ni umiinom ng alak, at sinasabi ninyong, ‘Siya ay may demonyo.’ 34 Dumating naman ang Anak ng Tao na kumakain at umiinom at sinabi naman ninyong, ‘Tingnan ninyo ang taong matakaw at manlalasing, at kaibigan ng mga maniningil ng buwis at ng mga makasalanan.’ 35 Gayon pa man, ang karunungan ay pinatutunayang matuwid ng kanyang mga tagasunod.”
Si Jesus sa Tahanan ni Simon na Fariseo
36 Isang Fariseo ang nag-anyaya kay Jesus na kumaing kasalo niya. Pagpasok niya sa bahay ng Fariseo ay umupo siya sa hapag. 37 Isang babaing makasalanan ang nakatira sa lungsod na iyon. At dahil alam nitong kumakain si Jesus doon sa bahay ng Fariseo ay nagdala ito ng pabango sa sisidlang alabastro. 38 Tumayo siyang umiiyak sa likuran sa may paanan ni Jesus, at unti-unting binasá ang mga paa nito ng kanyang luha. Pinunasan niya ang mga ito ng kanyang buhok at pinaghahagkan ang mga paa ni Jesus at pinahiran iyon ng pabango. 39 Nang makita ito ng Fariseo na nag-anyaya sa kanya ay sinabi nito sa kanyang sarili, “Kung propeta nga ang taong ito, dapat ay alam niya kung sino at anong uring babae itong humahawak sa kanya sapagkat ito ay makasalanan.” 40 Kaya sinabi ni Jesus sa kanya, “Simon, mayroon akong sasabihin sa iyo.” “Sige po Guro,” sagot ni Simon. 41 “May dalawang umutang sa isang tao. Ang isa ay umutang ng limandaang denaryo at ang isa naman ay limampu. 42 Nang hindi makabayad, kapwa sila pinatawad. Sino ngayon sa kanila ang higit na magmamahal sa nagpautang?” 43 Sumagot si Simon, “Sa palagay ko po'y ang pinatawad nang mas malaki.” At sinabi niya rito, “Tama ang iyong pagkaunawa.” 44 Pagharap niya sa babae ay sinabi niya kay Simon, “Nakikita mo ba ang babaing ito? Pumasok ako sa iyong bahay at hindi mo man lang ako binigyan ng tubig para sa aking mga paa. Ngunit binasa niya ng luha ang aking mga paa at pinunasan ito ng kanyang mga buhok. 45 Hindi mo ako hinagkan, ngunit mula nang pumasok ako ay hindi pa siya humihinto nang kahahalik sa aking mga paa. 46 Hindi mo binuhusan ng langis ang aking ulo ngunit pinahiran niya ng pabango ang aking mga paa. 47 Kaya't sinasabi ko sa inyo, ang marami niyang mga kasalanan ay pinatawad na; kaya naman nagmahal siya nang higit. Ngunit ang pinatawad nang kaunti ay magmamahal nang kaunti.” 48 Pagkatapos ay sinabi niya sa babae, “Pinatawad na ang iyong mga kasalanan.” 49 Nagsimulang magtanong sa isa't isa ang mga kasalo niya, “Sino ba ang taong ito at nagpapatawad pa ng kasalanan?” 50 At sinabi niya sa babae, “Iniligtas ka ng iyong pananampalataya. Humayo kang panatag ang kalooban.”

7 After he had finished speaking in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum. 2 A certain centurion’s servant, who was dear to him, was sick and at the point of death. 3 When he heard about Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, asking him to come and save his servant. 4 When they came to Jesus, they begged him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy for you to do this for him, 5 for he loves our nation, and he built our synagogue for us.” 6 Jesus went with them. When he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, “Lord, don’t trouble yourself, for I am not worthy for you to come under my roof. 7 Therefore I didn’t even think myself worthy to come to you; but say the word, and my servant will be healed. 8 For I also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
9 When Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turned and said to the multitude who followed him, “I tell you, I have not found such great faith, no, not in Israel.” 10 Those who were sent, returning to the house, found that the servant who had been sick was well.
11 Soon afterwards, he went to a city called Nain. Many of his disciples, along with a great multitude, went with him. 12 Now when he came near to the gate of the city, behold, one who was dead was carried out, the only born[a] son of his mother, and she was a widow. Many people of the city were with her. 13 When the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her and said to her, “Don’t cry.” 14 He came near and touched the coffin, and the bearers stood still. He said, “Young man, I tell you, arise!” 15 He who was dead sat up and began to speak. Then he gave him to his mother.
16 Fear took hold of all, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has arisen among us!” and, “God has visited his people!” 17 This report went out concerning him in the whole of Judea and in all the surrounding region.
18 The disciples of John told him about all these things. 19 John, calling to himself two of his disciples, sent them to Jesus, saying, “Are you the one who is coming, or should we look for another?” 20 When the men had come to him, they said, “John the Baptizer has sent us to you, saying, ‘Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?’”
21 In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and to many who were blind he gave sight. 22 Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John the things which you have seen and heard: that the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them. 23 Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me.”
24 When John’s messengers had departed, he began to tell the multitudes about John, “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind? 25 But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft clothing? Behold, those who are gorgeously dressed and live delicately are in kings’ courts. 26 But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet. 27 This is he of whom it is written,
‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face,
who will prepare your way before you.’(A)
28 “For I tell you, among those who are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptizer; yet he who is least in God’s Kingdom is greater than he.”
29 When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, they declared God to be just, having been baptized with John’s baptism. 30 But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God, not being baptized by him themselves.
31 [b]“To what then should I compare the people of this generation? What are they like? 32 They are like children who sit in the marketplace and call to one another, saying, ‘We piped to you, and you didn’t dance. We mourned, and you didn’t weep.’ 33 For John the Baptizer came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’ 34 The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Behold, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ 35 Wisdom is justified by all her children.”
36 One of the Pharisees invited him to eat with him. He entered into the Pharisee’s house and sat at the table. 37 Behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that he was reclining in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster jar of ointment. 38 Standing behind at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and she wiped them with the hair of her head, kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment. 39 Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he said to himself, “This man, if he were a prophet, would have perceived who and what kind of woman this is who touches him, that she is a sinner.”
40 Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.”
He said, “Teacher, say on.”
41 “A certain lender had two debtors. The one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. 42 When they couldn’t pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most?”
43 Simon answered, “He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most.”
He said to him, “You have judged correctly.” 44 Turning to the woman, he said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered into your house, and you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head. 45 You gave me no kiss, but she, since the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss my feet. 46 You didn’t anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment. 47 Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But one to whom little is forgiven, loves little.” 48 He said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
49 Those who sat at the table with him began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”
50 He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”

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)
