7 Si e përfundoi gjithë këtë ligjëratë drejtuar popullit që e dëgjoi, hyri në Kapernaum.
2 Tani një centurion kishte një shërbëtor që e donte shumë; e kishte të sëmurë keq për vdekje.
3 Dhe centurioni, kur dëgjoi për Jezusin, i dërgoi disa pleq Judenj që ta lusnin të vinte e të shëronte shërbëtorin e tij.
4 Si arritën te Jezusi, ata e lutën me ngulm duke i thënë: “Ai e meriton që ti ta pranosh këtë gjë,
5 sepse ai e do popullin tonë dhe ai na e ndërtoi sinagogën.”
6 Atëherë Jezusi shkoi me ta. E kur ishte jo shumë larg shtëpisë, centurioni dërgoi disa miq të tij për t’i thënë: “Zot, mos u shqetëso, sepse unë nuk jam i denjë që ti të hysh nën pullazin tim.
7 Për këtë shkak nuk e çmova veten të denjë të vij tek ti; por ti fol një fjalë dhe shërbëtori im do të shërohet.
8 Sepse edhe unë jam një njeri nën autoritetin e tjetërkujt dhe kam nën urdhër ushtarë; dhe i them njerit: "Shko," dhe ai shkon; dhe një tjetri: Eja,," dhe ai vjen; dhe shërbëtorit tim: "Bëjë këtë," dhe ai e bën.”
9 Kur i dëgjoi këto fjalë, Jezusi u mrekullua prej tij, dhe, duke iu drejtuar turmës që i vinte pas, tha: “Unë po ju them se as në Izrael nuk kam gjetur një besim kaq të madh.”
10 Dhe, kur të dërguarit u kthyen në shtëpi, shërbëtorin, që kishte qenë i sëmurë, e gjetën të shëruar.
11 Dhe të nesërmen ai shkoi në një qytet që quhej Nain; dhe bashkë me të shkonin shumë nga dishepujt e vet dhe një turmë e madhe.
12 Dhe, kur iu afrua portës së qytetit, ja që po çonin për ta varrosur një të vdekur, djalin e vetëm të nënës së tij, që ishte e ve; dhe një turmë e madhe nga qyteti ishte me të.
13 Posa e pa, Zoti pati dhemshuri për të dhe i tha: “Mos qaj!”
14 U afrua, preku arkivolin, dhe ata që e bartnin u ndalën; atëherë ai tha: “Djalosh, unë të them, çohu!.”
15 Dhe i vdekuri u çua ndenjur dhe filloi të flasë. Dhe Jezusi ia dha së ëmës.
16 Atëherë të gjithë u mrekulluan dhe lëvdonin Perëndinë duke thënë: “Midis nesh doli një profet i madh” dhe: “Perëndia e vizitoi popullin e vet.”
17 Dhe kjo e thënë për të u përhap nëpër gjithë Judenë dhe anembanë krahinës përreth.
18 Gjoni u informua prej dishepujve të vet për të gjitha këto gjëra.
19 Dhe Gjoni thirri pranë tij dy nga dishepujt e vet, i dërgoi te Jezusi për t’i thënë: “A je ti ai që duhet të vijë, apo duhet të presim një tjetër?.”
20 Këta njerëz, pra, shkuan te ai dhe i thanë: “Gjon Pagëzori na dërgoi te ti për të të thënë: "A je ti ai që duhet të vijë, apo duhet të presim një tjetër?".”
21 Dhe në atë orë Jezusi shëroi shumë veta nga sëmundjet, nga fatkeqësitë dhe nga frymërat e lig, dhe shumë të verbërve ua dhuroi të parit.
22 Dhe Jezusi duke u përgjegjur u tha atyre: “Shkoni dhe i thoni Gjonit ç’keni parë e dëgjuar: të verbërit fitojnë përsëri të parit, të çalët ecin, lebrozët po pastrohen, të shurdhërit po dëgjojnë, të vdekurit po ringjallen, dhe ungjilli u shpallet të varfërve.
23 I lumi ai që nuk do të skandalizohet prej meje!.”
24 Kur lajmëtarët e Gjonit u larguan, ai filloi t’u thotë turmave për Gjonin: “Ç’dolët të shihni në shkreti? Një kallam që e tund era?
25 Po, ç’dolët të shihni? Një njeri të veshur me rroba të buta? Ja, ata që veshin rroba të shkëlqyera dhe jetojnë në bollëk banojnë në pallatet e mbretërve.
26 Por, ç’dolët të shihni? Një profet? Po, unë po ju them: akoma më shumë se një profet.
27 Ai është ai për të cilin u shkrua: "Ja, unë po dërgoj përpara fytyrës tënde lajmëtarin tim, që do ta përgatitë rrugën sate para teje".
28 Sepse unë po ju them që nga të lindurit prej gruaje nuk ka asnjë profet më të madh se Gjon Pagëzori; por më i vogli në mbretërinë e Perëndisë është më i madh se ai.”
29 Dhe gjithë populli që e dëgjoi dhe tagrambledhësit e pranuan drejtësinë e Perëndisë dhe u pagëzuan me pagëzimin e Gjonit.
30 Por farisenjtë dhe mësuesit e ligjit e refuzuan planin e Perëndisë për ta dhe nuk u pagëzuan.
31 Atëherë Zoti tha: “Me çfarë t’i krahasoj, pra, njerëzit e këtij brezi? Dhe kujt i ngjajnë?
32 U ngjajnë fëmijëve që ulen ndër sheshe dhe i bërtasin njëri-tjetrit duke thënë: "Ne i kemi rënë fyellit për ju dhe ju nuk keni kërcyer; ne kemi kënduar vajtime për ju dhe ju nuk keni qarë".
33 Erdhi, pra, Gjon Pagëzori, që nuk ha bukë dhe as pi verë dhe ju thoni: Ai ka një demonn".
34 Erdhi Biri i njeriut që ha dhe pi, dhe ju thoni: "Ja grykësi dhe pijaneci, miku i tagrambledhësve dhe i mëkatarëve".
35 Por urtisë i japin të drejtë gjithë bijtë e saj.”
36 Një nga farisenjtë e ftoi atë të hajë bashkë me të; dhe ai hyri në shtëpinë e fariseut dhe u ul në tryezë.
37 Dhe ja, një grua nga ai qytet, që ishte një mëkatare, kur mori vesh se ai ishte në tryezën e shtëpisë së një fariseu, solli një enë alabastri plot me vaj erëkëndshëm.
38 Dhe, duke qëndruar prapa te këmbët e tij dhe duke qarë, filloi t’ia lajë me lot këmbët dhe t’ia fshijë me flokët e kokës së saj; dhe t’ia puthte e t’ia vajoste me vaj erëkëndshëm.
39 Kur e pa këtë gjë, fariseu që e kishte ftuar, tha me vete: “Nëse ky do të ishte një profet, do ta dinte çfarë lloj njeriu është gruaja që po e prek, sepse ajo është një mëkatare.
40 Dhe Jezusi, duke u përgjigjur, i tha: “Simon, kam diçka për të të thënë.” Dhe ai tha: “Fol, Mësues.”
41 Dhe Jezusi i tha: “Një huadhënës kishte dy huamarrës; njëri i kishte borxh pesëqind denarë dhe tjetri pesëdhjetë.
42 Meqë ata nuk kishin të paguanin, ai ua fali borxhin të dyve. Sipas teje, cili nga ata do ta dojë më shumë?.”
43 Dhe Simoni, duke u përgjigjur, tha: “Ma do mendja, ai, të cilit i fali më shumë.” Dhe Jezusi i tha: “Gjykove drejt.”
44 Pastaj, si u suall nga gruaja, i tha Simonit: “A e sheh këtë grua? Unë hyra në shtëpinë tënde dhe ti nuk më dhe ujë për të larë këmbët; ajo, përkundrazi, m’i lau këmbët me lot dhe m’i fshiu me flokët e kresë.
45 Ti nuk më dhe as edhe një puthje; por ajo, qysh se hyra, nuk pushoi së puthuri këmbët e mia.
46 Ti nuk ma vajose kokën me vaj; kurse ajo m’i vajosi këmbët me vaj erëkëndshëm.
47 Prandaj unë po të them se mëkatet e saj të shumta i janë falur, sepse ka dashur shumë; por kujt i falen pak, do pak.”
48 Pastaj i tha asaj: “Mëkatet e tua të janë falur.”
49 Atëherë ata që ishin në tryezë bashkë me të filluan të thonin me vete: “Po kush qenka ky që po falka edhe mëkatet?.”
50 Por Jezusi i tha asaj gruaje: “Besimi yt të shpëtoi; shko në paqe!.”

A Roman Commander Has Faith
7 Jesus finished saying all these things to the people who were listening. Then he entered Capernaum. 2 There the servant of a Roman commander was sick and about to die. His master thought highly of him. 3 The commander heard about Jesus. So he sent some elders of the Jews to him. He told them to ask Jesus to come and heal his servant. 4 They came to Jesus and begged him, “This man deserves to have you do this. 5 He loves our nation and has built our synagogue.” 6 So Jesus went with them.
When Jesus came near the house, the Roman commander sent friends to him. He told them to say, “Lord, don’t trouble yourself. I am not good enough to have you come into my house. 7 That is why I did not even think I was fit to come to you. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed. 8 I myself am a man who is under authority. And I have soldiers who obey my orders. I tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes. I tell 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 the commander. Jesus turned to the crowd that was following him. He said, “I tell you, even in Israel I have not found anyone whose faith is so strong.” 10 Then the men who had been sent to Jesus returned to the house. They found that the servant was healed.
Jesus Raises a Widow’s Son From the Dead
11 Some time later, Jesus went to a town called Nain. His disciples and a large crowd went along with him. 12 He approached the town gate. Just then, a dead person was being carried out. He was the only son of his mother. She was a widow. A large crowd from the town was with her. 13 When the Lord saw her, he felt sorry for her. So he said, “Don’t cry.”
14 Then he went up and touched the coffin. Those carrying it stood still. Jesus said, “Young man, I say to you, get up!” 15 The dead man sat up and began to talk. Then Jesus gave him back to his mother.
16 The people were all filled with wonder and praised God. “A great prophet has appeared among us,” they said. “God has come to help his people.” 17 This news about Jesus spread all through Judea and the whole country.
Jesus and John the Baptist
18 John’s disciples told him about all these things. So he chose two of them. 19 He sent them to the Lord. John told them to ask him, “Are you the one who is supposed to come? Or should we look for someone else?”
20 The men came to Jesus. They said, “John the Baptist sent us to ask you, ‘Are you the one who is supposed to come? Or should we look for someone else?’ ”
21 At that time Jesus healed many people. They had illnesses, sicknesses and evil spirits. He also gave sight to many who were blind. 22 So Jesus replied to the messengers, “Go back to John. Tell him what you have seen and heard. Blind people receive sight. Disabled people walk. Those who have skin diseases are made ‘clean.’ Deaf people hear. Those who are dead are raised to life. And the good news is announced to those who are poor. 23 Blessed is anyone who does not give up their faith because of me.”
24 So John’s messengers left. Then Jesus began to speak to the crowd about John. He said, “What did you go out into the desert to see? Tall grass waving in the wind? 25 If not, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? No. Those who wear fine clothes and have many expensive things are in palaces. 26 Then what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. 27 He is the one written about in Scripture. It says,
“ ‘I will send my messenger ahead of you.
He will prepare your way for you.’ (Malachi 3:1)
28 I tell you, no one more important than John has ever been born. But the least important person in God’s kingdom is more important than John is.”
29 All the people who heard Jesus’ words agreed that God’s way was right. Even the tax collectors agreed. These people had all been baptized by John. 30 But the Pharisees and the authorities on the law did not accept for themselves God’s purpose. So they had not been baptized by John.
31 Jesus went on to say, “What can I compare today’s people to? What are they like? 32 They are like children sitting in the market and calling out to each other. They say,
“ ‘We played the flute for you.
But you didn’t dance.
We sang a funeral song.
But you didn’t cry.’
33 That is how it has been with John the Baptist. When he came to you, he didn’t eat bread or drink wine. And you say, ‘He has a demon.’ 34 But when the Son of Man came, he ate and drank as you do. And you say, ‘This fellow is always eating and drinking far too much. He’s a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’ 35 All who follow wisdom prove that wisdom is right.”
A Sinful Woman Pours Perfume on Jesus
36 One of the Pharisees invited Jesus to have dinner with him. So he went to the Pharisee’s house. He took his place at the table. 37 There was a woman in that town who had lived a sinful life. She learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee’s house. So she came there with a special jar of perfume. 38 She stood behind Jesus and cried at his feet. And she began to wet his feet with her tears. Then she wiped them with her hair. She kissed them and poured perfume on them.
39 The Pharisee who had invited Jesus saw this. He said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, he would know who is touching him. He would know what kind of woman she is. 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 lender. One owed him 500 silver coins. The other owed him 50 silver coins. 42 Neither of them had the money to pay him back. So he let them go without paying. Which of them will love him more?”
43 Simon replied, “I suppose the one who owed the most money.”
“You are right,” Jesus said.
44 Then he turned toward the woman. He said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I came into your house. You did not give me any water to wash my feet. But she wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. 45 You did not give me a kiss. But this woman has not stopped kissing my feet since I came in. 46 You did not put any olive oil on my head. But she has poured this perfume on my feet. 47 So I tell you this. Her many sins have been forgiven. She has shown that she understands this by her great acts of love. But whoever has been forgiven only a little loves only a little.”
48 Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
49 The other guests began to talk about this among themselves. They said, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”
50 Jesus 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)
