A római százados hite(A)

Miután Jézus befejezte, amit mondani akart, Kapernaumba ment. Élt ott egy római százados, akinek a rabszolgája halálos beteg volt. A százados nagyon kedvelte ezt a rabszolgáját, és mikor hallott Jézusról, elküldött hozzá néhány zsidó vezetőt. Általuk kérte Jézust, hogy jöjjön el, és mentse meg a rabszolgáját. A zsidó vezetők el is mentek Jézushoz, és így kérlelték: „Ez az ember megérdemli, hogy megtedd, amire kér. Szereti a népünket, és a zsinagógát is ő építtette nekünk.”

Jézus ekkor elindult velük a százados házához. Amikor már közel volt, a százados Jézus elé küldte néhány barátját ezzel az üzenettel: „Uram, ne fáradj, mert nem vagyok rá méltó, hogy a házamba jöjj! Ezért nem is jöttem személyesen hozzád. Elég, ha egy szót szólsz, és meggyógyul a rabszolgám. Hiszen én is a feletteseim hatalma alatt vagyok, és vannak katonáim, akiknek meg én parancsolok. Ha azt mondom az egyiknek: »Menj el!«, az el is megy, vagy, ha szólok egy másiknak: »Gyere ide!«, az odajön hozzám. Ha azt mondom a szolgámnak: »Tedd meg ezt!«, az meg is teszi.”

Jézus elcsodálkozott ezen. Majd hátrafordult az őt követő tömeghez, és azt mondta: „Igazán mondom nektek: még Izráel népe között sem találkoztam ilyen nagy hittel.”

10 Amikor a küldöttek visszatértek a százados házába, a rabszolgát már egészségesen találták.

Jézus feltámasztja a naini fiút

11 Történt ezután, hogy Jézus a tanítványaival Nain városába ment. Nagyon sokan kísérték. 12 Amikor a város kapuja felé közeledtek, látták, hogy éppen egy temetési menet jön velük szembe. A halott egy özvegyasszony egyetlen fia volt. A városból sokan kísérték az özvegyet. 13 Amikor az Úr meglátta az özvegyasszonyt, megsajnálta, és azt mondta neki: „Ne sírj!” 14 Odalépett a holttesthez, és megérintette a hordágyat, amelyen az feküdt. A menet megállt. Akkor Jézus ezt mondta: „Fiú, neked mondom, kelj fel!” 15 A halott ekkor felült, és beszélni kezdett, Jézus pedig visszaadta őt az anyjának.

16 Mélységes csodálkozás és megdöbbenés lett úrrá az embereken. Dicsőítették Istent, és ezt mondták: „Hatalmas próféta jelent meg közöttünk! Isten meglátogatta népét!”

17 A Jézus híre pedig egyre jobban terjedt Júdeában és az egész környéken.

Jézus Bemerítő Jánosról(B)

18 A történteket Bemerítő Jánosnak is elmondták a tanítványai. 19 Ő pedig magához hívatta két tanítványát, és elküldte őket Jézushoz, hogy megkérdezzék tőle: „Te vagy-e az, akinek el kell jönnie, vagy valaki mást várjunk?”

20 Amikor a küldöttek megérkeztek Jézushoz, ezt mondták: „János küldött minket, hogy megkérdezzük: Te vagy-e az, akinek el kell jönnie, vagy valaki mást várjunk?”

21 Abban az időben Jézus sok beteget és szenvedőt gyógyított meg különféle betegségekből, megszabadított gonosz szellemektől, és sok vaknak is visszaadta a látását. 22 Jézus így válaszolt a küldötteknek: „Menjetek vissza Jánoshoz, és mondjátok el neki mindazt, amit láttatok és hallottatok! Mondjátok el, hogy a vakok látnak, a bénák járnak, a leprások megtisztulnak, a süketek hallanak, halottak támadnak fel, és a szegényeknek az örömüzenetet hirdetik. 23 Boldog és áldott, aki nem kételkedik bennem, hanem kitart mellettem.”

24 Amikor János tanítványai elmentek, Jézus ezt mondta Jánosról az összegyűlt sokaságnak: „Azért mentetek ki a pusztába, hogy széltől hajlongó nádszálat lássatok? Ugye, nem? 25 Vagy talán azért, hogy drága ruhába öltözött férfit lássatok? Ugye, hogy nem? Hiszen akik drága ruhákban járnak és kényelemben élnek, azok a királyi udvarban és palotákban laknak! 26 Akkor miért mentetek ki? Kit akartatok látni? Talán egy prófétát? Bizony, valóban prófétát láttatok! Sőt mondom nektek: még annál is nagyobbat! 27 Mert János az, akiről ezt mondja az Írás:

»Elküldöm hírvivő követemet,
    aki előtted fog járni,
    hogy utat készítsen számodra.«[a]

28 Igazán mondom, hogy azok között, akiket asszony szült, Bemerítő János a legnagyobb. Mégis, azok között, akik Isten Királyságába tartoznak, a legkisebb is nagyobb nála.”

29 (Az egyszerű emberek, akik hallgatták Bemerítő Jánost, mind igazat adtak Istennek, és elfogadták az üzenetét, még a vámszedők is. Ezért bemerítkeztek János tanítása szerint. 30 A farizeusok és törvénytanítók azonban visszautasították, amit Isten üzent nekik, és nem merítkeztek be János felhívására.)

31 Jézus így folytatta: „Mihez is hasonlítsam ezt a nemzedéket? 32 Olyanok, mint a téren játszó gyerekek, akik ezt kiabálják egymásnak:

»Táncnótát furulyáztunk nektek,
    de nem táncoltatok.
Siratót énekeltünk,
    de nem sírtatok.«

33 Mert eljött Bemerítő János, aki nem azt ette, mint a többiek, és bort sem ivott. Róla azt mondjátok: »Gonosz szellem lakik benne!« 34 Azután eljött az Emberfia, aki ugyanúgy evett és ivott, mint mások. Róla meg azt mondjátok: »Nézzétek, milyen falánk és részeges! Ráadásul vámszedőkkel és mindenféle bűnösökkel barátkozik!« 35 Ezzel maguk bizonyították a saját ostobaságukat azok, akik ilyenféle »bölcsességeket« szoktak mondani”.

Akinek többet bocsátottak meg, az jobban szeret

36 Az egyik farizeus vendégségbe hívta Jézust, aki el is ment hozzá. Letelepedtek az asztalhoz. 37 Volt abban a városban egy asszony, akiről mindenki tudta, hogy bűnös életmódot folytat. Amikor megtudta, hogy Jézus a farizeus házában látják vendégül, ő is odament, és hozott magával egy alabástrom korsócskát, amely értékes illatszerrel volt töltve. 38 Az asszony sírva megállt Jézus mögött, a lábánál. A könnyeivel öntözte, hajával megtörölte, majd megcsókolta Jézus lábát, azután ráöntötte a drága illatszert. 39 A farizeus, aki meghívta Jézust, mindezt látta, de nem szólt, csak azt gondolta magában: „Ha ez az ember valóban próféta lenne, akkor tudná, hogy miféle nő az, aki hozzáér. Tudná, hogy ez az asszony bűnös!”

40 Jézus ekkor így válaszolt a házigazda ki nem mondott gondolataira: „Simon, szeretnék valamit mondani neked!”

„Mondd csak, Mester!” — válaszolta Simon.

41 Jézus így folytatta: „Volt egy hitelező, és annak két adósa. Egyikük ötszáz ezüstpénzzel tartozott, a másik ötvennel. 42 Mivel egyik sem tudta megadni, a hitelező mindkettőjüknek nagylelkűen elengedte az adósságát. A kettő közül vajon melyik szereti jobban a hitelezőt?”

43 Simon így válaszolt: „Gondolom, az, akinek nagyobb adósságot engedett el.”

„Igazad van!” — mondta Jézus. 44 Majd az asszony felé fordulva így folytatta: „Látod ezt az asszonyt? Eljöttem a házadba, de nem kínáltál vizet, hogy a poros lábamat megmossam. Ő pedig a könnyeivel mosta, és a hajával törölte meg a lábam. 45 Te nem üdvözöltél csókkal, ő pedig amióta csak megérkeztem, szüntelenül a lábamat csókolgatja. 46 Te nem kented meg a fejemet olajjal. Ő pedig a lábamat kente meg illatos olajjal. 47 Mondom neked, hogy ennek az asszonynak a bűneit — bármilyen sok is volt — megbocsátották. Ezt abból láthatod, hogy mennyire szeret engem! Akinek csak kevés bűnét bocsátották meg, az kevésbé szeret.”

48 Ezután az asszonyhoz fordult: „Meg vannak bocsátva a bűneid!”

49 Akik vele együtt vacsoráztak, ezt gondolták: „Kicsoda ez? Azt képzeli, hogy megbocsáthatja valakinek a bűneit?”

50 Végül Jézus ezt mondta az asszonynak: „A hited megmentett téged, menj békességgel!”

Jesus Heals a Centurion's Servant

After he had finished all his sayings in the hearing of the people, (A)he entered Capernaum. Now a centurion had a servant[a] who was sick and at the point of death, who was highly valued by him. When the centurion[b] heard about Jesus, (B)he sent to him elders of the Jews, asking him to come and heal his servant. And when they came to Jesus, they pleaded with him earnestly, saying, (C)“He is worthy to have you do this for him, for he loves our nation, and he is the one who built us (D)our synagogue.” And Jesus went with them. When he was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying to him, “Lord, (E)do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy to have you come under my roof. Therefore I did not presume to come to you. But (F)say the word, and let my servant be healed. For I too am a man set under authority, with 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, (G)he marveled at him, and turning to the crowd that followed him, said, “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such (H)faith.” 10 And when those who had been sent returned to the house, they found the servant well.

Jesus Raises a Widow's Son

11 Soon afterward[c] he went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a great crowd went with him. 12 As he drew near to the gate of the town, behold, a man who had died was being carried out, (I)the only son of his mother, and she was a widow, and a considerable crowd from the town was with her. 13 And when the Lord saw her, (J)he had compassion on her and (K)said to her, “Do not weep.” 14 Then he came up and touched (L)the bier, and the bearers stood still. And he said, “Young man, I say to you, (M)arise.” 15 And the dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus[d] (N)gave him to his mother. 16 Fear seized them all, and (O)they glorified God, saying, (P)“A great prophet has arisen among us!” and (Q)“God has visited his people!” 17 And this report about him spread through the whole of Judea and all the surrounding country.

Messengers from John the Baptist

18 (R)(S)The disciples of John reported all these things to him. And John, 19 calling two of his disciples to him, sent them to the Lord, saying, “Are you the one (T)who is to come, or (U)shall we look for another?” 20 And when the men had come to him, they said, “John the Baptist has sent us to you, saying, ‘Are you the one (V)who is to come, or (W)shall we look for another?’” 21 In that hour (X)he healed many people of diseases and plagues and evil spirits, and (Y)on many who were blind he bestowed sight. 22 And he answered them, “Go and tell John what you have seen and heard: (Z)the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, (AA)lepers[e] are cleansed, and (AB)the deaf hear, (AC)the dead are raised up, (AD)the poor have good news preached to them. 23 And blessed is the one who is (AE)not offended by me.”

24 When John's messengers had gone, Jesus[f] began to speak to the crowds concerning John: “What did you go out (AF)into the wilderness to see? (AG)A reed shaken by the wind? 25 What then did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothing? Behold, those who are dressed in splendid clothing and live in luxury are in kings' courts. 26 What then did you go out to see? (AH)A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. 27 This is he of whom it is written,

(AI)“‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face,
    who will prepare your way before you.’

28 I tell you, among those born of women none is greater than John. Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.” 29 ((AJ)When all the people heard this, and (AK)the tax collectors too, they declared God just,[g] (AL)having been baptized with (AM)the baptism of John, 30 (AN)but the Pharisees and (AO)the lawyers (AP)rejected (AQ)the purpose of God for themselves, not having been baptized by him.)

31 “To what then shall I compare the people of this generation, and what are they like? 32 They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling to one another,

“‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance;
    we sang a dirge, and you did not weep.’

33 For John the Baptist has come (AR)eating no bread and (AS)drinking no wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’ 34 The Son of Man has come (AT)eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look at him! A glutton and a drunkard, (AU)a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ 35 Yet (AV)wisdom is justified by all her children.”

A Sinful Woman Forgiven

36 (AW)One of the Pharisees asked him to eat with him, and he went into the Pharisee's house and reclined at table. 37 (AX)And behold, a woman of the city, who was a sinner, when she learned that he was reclining at table in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster flask of ointment, 38 and standing behind him at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears and (AY)wiped them with the hair of her head and kissed his feet and anointed them with the ointment. 39 Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, “If (AZ)this man were (BA)a prophet, he (BB)would have known who and what sort of woman this is who is touching him, for she is a sinner.” 40 And Jesus answering said to him, “Simon, I have something to say to you.” And he answered, “Say it, Teacher.”

41 “A certain moneylender had two debtors. One owed five hundred (BC)denarii, and the other fifty. 42 (BD)When they could not pay, he (BE)cancelled the debt of both. Now which of them will love him more?” 43 Simon answered, “The one, I suppose, for whom he cancelled the larger debt.” And he said to him, “You have judged rightly.” 44 Then turning toward the woman he said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered your house; (BF)you gave me no water for my feet, but (BG)she has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. 45 (BH)You gave me no kiss, but from the time I came in she has not ceased to (BI)kiss my feet. 46 (BJ)You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment. 47 Therefore I tell you, her sins, (BK)which are many, are forgiven—for she loved much. But he who is forgiven little, loves little.” 48 And he said to her, (BL)“Your sins are forgiven.” 49 Then those who were at table with him began to say among[h] themselves, (BM)“Who is this, who even forgives sins?” 50 And he said to the woman, (BN)“Your faith has saved you; (BO)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.”
