La fe del centurión(A)

Cuando terminó de hablar al pueblo, Jesús entró en Capernaúm. Había allí un centurión cuyo siervo, a quien él estimaba mucho, estaba enfermo, a punto de morir. Como oyó hablar de Jesús, el centurión mandó a unos líderes religiosos de los judíos a pedirle que fuera a sanar a su siervo. Cuando llegaron ante Jesús, rogaron con insistencia:

—Este hombre merece que le concedas lo que te pide: aprecia tanto a nuestra nación que nos ha construido una sinagoga.

Así que Jesús fue con ellos. No estaba lejos de la casa cuando el centurión mandó unos amigos a decirle:

—Señor, no te tomes tanta molestia, pues no merezco que entres bajo mi techo. Por eso ni siquiera me atreví a presentarme ante ti. Pero con una sola palabra que digas, quedará sano mi siervo. Porque yo mismo soy un hombre sujeto a órdenes superiores y, además, tengo soldados bajo mi autoridad. Le digo a uno “ve” y va; y al otro, “ven” y viene. Le digo a mi siervo “haz esto” y lo hace.

Al oírlo, Jesús se asombró de él y, volviéndose a la multitud que lo seguía, comentó:

—Les digo que ni siquiera en Israel he encontrado una fe tan grande.

10 Al regresar a casa, los enviados encontraron sano al siervo.

Jesús resucita al hijo de una viuda

11 Poco después Jesús, en compañía de sus discípulos y de una gran multitud, se dirigió a un pueblo llamado Naín. 12 Cuando ya se acercaba a las puertas del pueblo, vio que sacaban de allí a un muerto, hijo único de madre viuda. La acompañaba un grupo grande de la población. 13 Al verla, el Señor se compadeció de ella y le dijo:

—No llores.

14 Entonces se acercó y tocó el féretro. Los que lo llevaban se detuvieron y Jesús dijo:

—Joven, ¡te ordeno que te levantes!

15 El que había estado muerto se incorporó y comenzó a hablar; luego Jesús se lo entregó a su madre. 16 Todos se llenaron de temor y alababan a Dios.

—Ha surgido entre nosotros un gran profeta —decían—. Dios ha venido en ayuda de[a] su pueblo.

17 Así que esta noticia acerca de Jesús se divulgó por toda Judea[b] y por todas las regiones vecinas.

Jesús y Juan el Bautista(B)

18 Los discípulos de Juan le contaron todo esto. Él llamó a dos de ellos 19 y los envió al Señor a preguntarle:

—¿Eres tú el que ha de venir o debemos esperar a otro?

20 Cuando se acercaron a Jesús, ellos le dijeron:

—Juan el Bautista nos ha enviado a preguntarte: “¿Eres tú el que ha de venir o debemos esperar a otro?”.

21 En ese mismo momento Jesús sanó a muchos que tenían enfermedades, dolencias y espíritus malignos, además dio la vista a muchos ciegos. 22 Entonces respondió a los enviados:

—Vayan y cuéntenle a Juan lo que han visto y oído: Los ciegos ven, los cojos andan, los que tienen alguna enfermedad en su piel son sanados, los sordos oyen, los muertos resucitan y a los pobres se les anuncian las buenas noticias. 23 Dichoso el que no tropieza por causa mía.

24 Cuando se fueron los enviados, Jesús comenzó a hablarle a la multitud acerca de Juan: «¿Qué salieron a ver al desierto? ¿Una caña sacudida por el viento? 25 Si no, ¿qué salieron a ver? ¿A un hombre vestido con ropa fina? Claro que no, pues los que se visten ostentosamente y llevan una vida de lujo están en los palacios reales. 26 Entonces, ¿qué salieron a ver? ¿A un profeta? Sí, les digo, y más que profeta. 27 Este es de quien está escrito:

»“Yo estoy por enviar a mi mensajero delante de ti,
    el cual preparará tu camino”.[c]

28 Les digo que entre los mortales no ha habido nadie más grande que Juan; sin embargo, el más pequeño en el reino de Dios es más grande que él».

29 Al oír esto, todo el pueblo, y hasta los recaudadores de impuestos, reconocieron que el camino de Dios era justo y fueron bautizados con el bautismo de Juan. 30 Pero los fariseos y los expertos en la Ley no se hicieron bautizar por Juan, rechazando así el propósito de Dios respecto a ellos.[d]

31 «Entonces, ¿con qué puedo comparar a la gente de esta generación? ¿A quién se parecen ellos? 32 Se parecen a niños sentados en la plaza que se gritan unos a otros:

»“Tocamos la flauta
    y ustedes no bailaron;
cantamos por los muertos
    y ustedes no lloraron”.

33 Porque vino Juan el Bautista que no comía pan ni bebía vino y ustedes dicen: “Tiene un demonio”. 34 Vino el Hijo del hombre, que come y bebe, y ustedes dicen: “Este es un glotón y un borracho, amigo de recaudadores de impuestos y de pecadores”. 35 Pero la sabiduría queda demostrada por los que la siguen».[e]

Una mujer pecadora unge a Jesús

36 Uno de los fariseos invitó a Jesús a comer, así que fue a la casa del fariseo y se sentó a la mesa.[f] 37 Ahora bien, vivía en aquel pueblo una mujer que tenía fama de pecadora. Cuando ella se enteró de que Jesús estaba comiendo en casa del fariseo, se presentó con un frasco de alabastro lleno de perfume. 38 Llorando, se arrojó a los pies de Jesús,[g] de manera que se los bañaba en lágrimas. Luego se los secó con los cabellos; también se los besaba y se los ungía con el perfume.

39 Al ver esto, el fariseo que lo había invitado dijo para sí: «Si este hombre fuera profeta, sabría quién es la que lo está tocando y qué clase de mujer es: una pecadora».

40 Entonces Jesús dijo a manera de respuesta:

—Simón, tengo algo que decirte.

—Dime, Maestro —respondió.

41 —Dos hombres debían dinero a cierto prestamista. Uno debía quinientas monedas de plata[h] y el otro, cincuenta. 42 Como no tenían con qué pagarle, el prestamista perdonó la deuda a los dos. Ahora bien, ¿cuál de los dos lo amará más?

43 —Supongo que aquel a quien más le perdonó —contestó Simón.

—Has juzgado bien —dijo Jesús.

44 Luego se volvió hacia la mujer y dijo a Simón:

—¿Ves a esta mujer? Cuando entré en tu casa, no me diste agua para los pies, pero ella me ha bañado los pies en lágrimas y me los ha secado con sus cabellos. 45 Tú no me besaste, pero ella, desde que entré, no ha dejado de besarme los pies. 46 Tú no me ungiste la cabeza con aceite, pero ella me ungió los pies con perfume. 47 Por esto te digo: si ella ha amado mucho, es que sus muchos pecados le han sido perdonados. Pero a quien poco se le perdona, poco ama.

48 Entonces le dijo Jesús a ella:

—Tus pecados quedan perdonados.

49 Los otros invitados comenzaron a decir entre sí: «¿Quién es este que hasta perdona pecados?».

50 —Tu fe te ha salvado —dijo Jesús a la mujer—; vete en paz.

Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum.

And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die.

And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant.

And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:

For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.

Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof:

Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.

For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.

When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.

10 And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole that had been sick.

11 And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much people.

12 Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.

13 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.

14 And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.

15 And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother.

16 And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited his people.

17 And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judaea, and throughout all the region round about.

18 And the disciples of John shewed him of all these things.

19 And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?

20 When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?

21 And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many that were blind he gave sight.

22 Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached.

23 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.

24 And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak unto the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind?

25 But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings' courts.

26 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.

27 This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

28 For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.

29 And all the people that heard him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.

30 But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him.

31 And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?

32 They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.

33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil.

34 The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!

35 But wisdom is justified of all her children.

36 And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat.

37 And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,

38 And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.

39 Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner.

40 And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.

41 There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.

42 And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?

43 Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.

44 And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.

45 Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet.

46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment.

47 Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.

48 And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.

49 And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?

50 And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.

Jesus Heals a Centurion’s Servant(A)

Now when He concluded all His sayings in the hearing of the people, He (B)entered Capernaum. And a certain centurion’s servant, who was dear to him, was sick and ready to die. So when he heard about Jesus, he sent elders of the Jews to Him, pleading with Him to come and heal his servant. And when they came to Jesus, they begged Him earnestly, saying that the one for whom He should do this was deserving, “for he loves our nation, and has built us a synagogue.”

Then Jesus went with them. And when He was already not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to Him, saying to Him, “Lord, do not trouble Yourself, for I am not worthy that You should enter under my roof. Therefore I did not even think myself worthy to come to You. But (C)say the word, and my servant will be healed. For I also am a man placed under (D)authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.

When Jesus heard these things, He marveled at him, and turned around and said to the crowd that followed Him, “I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!” 10 And those who were sent, returning to the house, found the servant well [a]who had been sick.

Jesus Raises the Son of the Widow of Nain

11 Now it happened, the day after, that He went into a city called Nain; and many of His disciples went with Him, and a large crowd. 12 And when He came near the gate of the city, behold, a dead man was being carried out, the only son of his mother; and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the city was with her. 13 When the Lord saw her, He had (E)compassion on her and said to her, (F)“Do not weep.” 14 Then He came and touched the open coffin, and those who carried him stood still. And He said, “Young man, I say to you, (G)arise.” 15 So he who was dead (H)sat up and began to speak. And He (I)presented him to his mother.

16 (J)Then fear [b]came upon all, and they (K)glorified God, saying, (L)“A great prophet has risen up among us”; and, (M)“God has visited His people.” 17 And this report about Him went throughout all Judea and all the surrounding region.

John the Baptist Sends Messengers to Jesus(N)

18 (O)Then the disciples of John reported to him concerning all these things. 19 And John, calling two of his disciples to him, sent them to [c]Jesus, saying, “Are You (P)the Coming One, or [d]do we look for another?”

20 When the men had come to Him, they said, “John the Baptist has sent us to You, saying, ‘Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?’ ” 21 And that very hour He cured many of [e]infirmities, afflictions, and evil spirits; and to many blind He gave sight.

22 (Q)Jesus answered and said to them, “Go and tell John the things you have seen and heard: (R)that the blind (S)see, the lame (T)walk, the lepers are (U)cleansed, the deaf (V)hear, the dead are raised, (W)the poor have the gospel preached to them. 23 And blessed is he who is not [f]offended because of Me.”

24 (X)When the messengers of John had departed, He began to speak to the multitudes concerning 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 garments? Indeed those who are gorgeously appareled and live in luxury are in kings’ courts. 26 But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet. 27 This is he of whom it is written:

(Y)‘Behold, I send My messenger before Your face,
Who will prepare Your way before You.’

28 For I say to you, among those born of women there is [g]not a (Z)greater prophet than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”

29 And when all the people heard Him, even the tax collectors [h]justified God, (AA)having been baptized with the baptism of John. 30 But the Pharisees and [i]lawyers rejected (AB)the will of God for themselves, not having been baptized by him.

31 [j]And the Lord said, (AC)“To what then shall I liken the men of this generation, and what are they like? 32 They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling to one another, saying:

‘We played the flute for you,
And you did not dance;
We mourned to you,
And you did not weep.’

33 For (AD)John the Baptist came (AE)neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’ 34 The Son of Man has come (AF)eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look, a glutton and a [k]winebibber, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ 35 (AG)But wisdom is justified by all her children.”

A Sinful Woman Forgiven

36 (AH)Then one of the Pharisees asked Him to eat with him. And He went to the Pharisee’s house, and sat down to eat. 37 And behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at the table in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster flask of fragrant oil, 38 and stood at His feet behind Him weeping; and she began to wash His feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head; and she kissed His feet and anointed them with the fragrant oil. 39 Now when the Pharisee who had invited Him saw this, he spoke to himself, saying, (AI)“This Man, if He were a prophet, would know who and what manner of woman this is who is touching Him, for she is a sinner.”

40 And Jesus answered and said to him, “Simon, I have something to say to you.”

So he said, “Teacher, say it.”

41 “There was a certain creditor who had two debtors. One owed five hundred (AJ)denarii, and the other fifty. 42 And when they had nothing with which to repay, he freely forgave them both. Tell Me, therefore, which of them will love him more?”

43 Simon answered and said, “I suppose the one whom he forgave more.”

And He said to him, “You have rightly judged.” 44 Then He turned to the woman and said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave Me no (AK)water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head. 45 You gave Me no (AL)kiss, but this woman has not ceased to kiss My feet since the time I came in. 46 (AM)You did not anoint My head with oil, but this woman has anointed My feet with fragrant oil. 47 (AN)Therefore I say to you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little.”

48 Then He said to her, (AO)“Your sins are forgiven.”

49 And those who sat at the table with Him began to say to themselves, (AP)“Who is this who even forgives sins?”

50 Then He said to the woman, (AQ)“Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”
