Luke 7
King James Version
7 Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
2 And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die.
3 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.
4 And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:
5 For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.
6 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:
7 Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.
8 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.
9 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)
7 Now when He concluded all His sayings in the hearing of the people, He (B)entered Capernaum. 2 And a certain centurion’s servant, who was dear to him, was sick and ready to die. 3 So when he heard about Jesus, he sent elders of the Jews to Him, pleading with Him to come and heal his servant. 4 And when they came to Jesus, they begged Him earnestly, saying that the one for whom He should do this was deserving, 5 “for he loves our nation, and has built us a synagogue.”
6 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. 7 Therefore I did not even think myself worthy to come to You. But (C)say the word, and my servant will be healed. 8 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.”
9 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.”

Jesus Heals a Centurion's Servant
7 After he had finished all his sayings in the hearing of the people, (A)he entered Capernaum. 2 Now a centurion had a servant[a] who was sick and at the point of death, who was highly valued by him. 3 When the centurion[b] heard about Jesus, (B)he sent to him elders of the Jews, asking him to come and heal his servant. 4 And when they came to Jesus, they pleaded with him earnestly, saying, (C)“He is worthy to have you do this for him, 5 for he loves our nation, and he is the one who built us (D)our synagogue.” 6 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. 7 Therefore I did not presume to come to you. But (F)say the word, and let my servant be healed. 8 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.” 9 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.”
Luca 7
Cornilescu 1924 - Revised 2010, 2014
Vindecarea robului unui sutaş
7 După ce a sfârşit de rostit toate aceste cuvântări înaintea norodului care-L asculta, Isus a(A) intrat în Capernaum. 2 Un sutaş avea un rob la care ţinea foarte mult şi care era bolnav pe moarte. 3 Fiindcă auzise vorbindu-se despre Isus, sutaşul a trimis la El pe nişte bătrâni ai iudeilor, ca să-L roage să vină să vindece pe robul lui. 4 Aceştia au venit la Isus, L-au rugat cu tot dinadinsul şi au zis: „Face să-i faci acest bine, 5 căci iubeşte neamul nostru şi el ne-a zidit sinagoga”. 6 Isus a plecat cu ei, dar nu era departe de casă când sutaşul a trimis la El pe nişte prieteni să-I spună: „Doamne, nu Te mai osteni atâta, pentru că nu sunt vrednic să intri sub acoperământul meu. 7 De aceea nici nu m-am socotit vrednic să vin eu însumi la Tine. Ci zi o vorbă, şi robul meu va fi tămăduit. 8 Căci şi eu, care sunt sub stăpânirea altuia, am sub mine ostaşi. Şi zic unuia: ‘Du-te!’ şi se duce; altuia: ‘Vino!’ şi vine; şi robului meu: ‘Fă cutare lucru!’ şi-l face.” 9 Când a auzit Isus aceste vorbe, S-a minunat de sutaş, S-a întors spre norodul care mergea după El şi a zis: „Vă spun că nici chiar în Israel n-am găsit o credinţă atât de mare”. 10 Când s-au întors acasă, trimişii au găsit sănătos pe robul care fusese bolnav.
Învierea fiului văduvei din Nain
11 În ziua următoare, Isus Se ducea într-o cetate numită Nain. Împreună cu El mergeau ucenicii Lui şi norod mult. 12 Când S-a apropiat de poarta cetăţii, iată că duceau la groapă pe un mort, singurul fiu al maicii lui, care era văduvă; şi cu ea erau o mulţime de oameni din cetate. 13 Domnului, când a văzut-o, I s-a făcut milă de ea şi i-a zis: „Nu plânge!” 14 Apoi, S-a apropiat şi S-a atins de raclă. Cei ce o duceau s-au oprit. El a zis: „Tinerelule, scoală-te(B), îţi spun!” 15 Mortul a şezut în capul oaselor şi a început să vorbească. Isus l-a dat înapoi maicii lui. 16 Toţi(C) au fost cuprinşi de frică, slăveau pe Dumnezeu şi ziceau: „Un mare proroc s-a(D) ridicat între noi; şi Dumnezeu(E) a cercetat pe poporul Său”. 17 Vestea aceasta despre Isus s-a răspândit în toată Iudeea şi prin toate împrejurimile.
Trimişii lui Ioan Botezătorul
18 Ucenicii(F) lui Ioan au dat de ştire învăţătorului lor despre toate aceste lucruri. 19 Ioan a chemat pe doi dintre ucenicii săi şi i-a trimis la Isus să-L întrebe: „Tu eşti Acela care are să vină sau să aşteptăm pe altul?” 20 Aceştia, când s-au înfăţişat înaintea lui Isus, I-au zis: „Ioan Botezătorul ne-a trimis la Tine să Te întrebăm: ‘Tu eşti Acela care are să vină sau să aşteptăm pe altul?’ ” 21 Chiar în clipa aceea, Isus a vindecat pe mulţi de boli, de chinuri, de duhuri rele şi multor orbi le-a dăruit vederea. 22 Şi(G), drept răspuns, le-a zis: „Duceţi-vă de spuneţi lui Ioan ce aţi văzut şi auzit: orbii(H) văd, şchiopii umblă, leproşii sunt curăţiţi, surzii aud, morţii învie şi săracilor(I) li se propovăduieşte Evanghelia. 23 Ferice de acela pentru care nu voi fi un prilej de poticnire.”
Mărturia lui Isus despre Ioan
24 După ce(J) au plecat trimişii lui Ioan, Isus a început să spună noroadelor 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 moi? Iată că cei ce poartă haine moi şi cei ce trăiesc în desfătări sunt în casele împăraţilor. 26 Atunci ce aţi ieşit să vedeţi? Un proroc? Da, vă spun, şi mai mult decât un proroc. 27 El(K) este acela despre care este scris: ‘Iată, trimit pe solul Meu înaintea Feţei Tale, care Îţi va pregăti calea înaintea Ta’. 28 Vă spun că, dintre cei născuţi din femei, nu este niciunul mai mare decât Ioan Botezătorul. Totuşi cel mai mic în Împărăţia lui Dumnezeu este mai mare decât el. 29 Şi tot norodul care l-a auzit şi chiar vameşii au dat dreptate lui Dumnezeu, primind(L) botezul lui Ioan, 30 dar fariseii şi învăţătorii Legii au zădărnicit planul(M) lui Dumnezeu pentru ei, neprimind botezul lui. 31 Cu(N) cine voi asemăna dar pe oamenii din neamul acesta? Şi cu cine seamănă ei? 32 Seamănă cu nişte copii care stau în piaţă şi strigă unii către alţii: ‘V-am cântat din fluier, şi n-aţi jucat; v-am cântat de jale, şi n-aţi plâns’. 33 În adevăr, a venit Ioan(O) Botezătorul, nici mâncând pâine, nici bând vin, şi ziceţi: ‘Are drac’. 34 A venit Fiul omului, mâncând şi bând, şi ziceţi: ‘Iată un om mâncăcios şi băutor de vin, un prieten al vameşilor şi al păcătoşilor’. 35 Totuşi(P) Înţelepciunea a fost găsită dreaptă de toţi copiii ei.”
Femeia păcătoasă
36 Un(Q) fariseu a rugat pe Isus să mănânce la el. Isus a intrat în casa fariseului şi a şezut la masă. 37 Şi iată că o femeie păcătoasă din cetate a aflat că El era la masă în casa fariseului. A adus un vas de alabastru cu mir mirositor 38 şi stătea înapoi lângă picioarele lui Isus şi plângea. Apoi a început să-I stropească picioarele cu lacrimile ei şi să le şteargă cu părul capului ei; le săruta mult şi le ungea cu mir. 39 Când a văzut lucrul acesta, fariseul care-L poftise şi-a zis: „Omul acesta(R), dacă ar fi un proroc, ar şti cine şi ce fel de femeie este cea care se atinge de El: că este o păcătoasă”. 40 Isus a luat cuvântul şi i-a zis: „Simone, am să-ţi spun ceva”. „Spune, Învăţătorule”, I-a răspuns el. 41 „Un cămătar avea doi datornici: unul îi era dator cu cinci sute de lei, iar celălalt, cu cincizeci. 42 Fiindcă n-aveau cu ce plăti, i-a iertat pe amândoi. Spune-Mi dar, care din ei îl va iubi mai mult?” 43 Simon I-a răspuns: „Socotesc că acela căruia i-a iertat mai mult”. Isus i-a zis: „Drept ai judecat”. 44 Apoi S-a întors spre femeie şi a zis lui Simon: „Vezi tu pe femeia aceasta? Am intrat în casa ta şi nu Mi-ai dat apă pentru spălat picioarele, dar ea Mi-a stropit picioarele cu lacrimile ei şi Mi le-a şters cu părul capului ei. 45 Tu nu Mi-ai dat sărutare, dar ea, de când am intrat, n-a încetat să-Mi sărute picioarele. 46 Capul nu Mi l-ai uns cu(S) untdelemn; dar ea Mi-a uns picioarele cu mir. 47 De aceea(T) îţi spun: ‘Păcatele ei, care sunt multe, sunt iertate, căci a iubit mult. Dar cui i se iartă puţin iubeşte puţin’.” 48 Apoi a zis femeii: „Iertate(U) îţi sunt păcatele!” 49 Cei ce şedeau cu El la masă au început să zică între ei: „Cine(V) este acesta de iartă chiar şi păcatele?” 50 Dar Isus a zis femeii: „Credinţa(W) ta te-a mântuit; du-te în pace”.

Jesús sana al siervo de un centurión(A)
7 Jesús terminó de hablar con el pueblo y entró en Cafarnaún. 2 Allí había un centurión que tenía un siervo al que amaba mucho, el cual estaba a punto de morir. 3 Cuando el centurión oyó hablar de Jesús, envió a unos ancianos de los judíos para que le rogaran que fuera a sanar a su siervo. 4 Ellos fueron a hablar con Jesús, y con mucha insistencia le rogaron: «Este hombre merece que le concedas lo que pide, 5 pues ama a nuestra nación y nos ha construido una sinagoga.» 6 Jesús se fue con ellos, y ya estaban cerca de la casa cuando el centurión envió a unos amigos suyos, para que le dijeran: «Señor, no te molestes. Yo no soy digno de que entres en mi casa. 7 Ni siquiera me consideré digno de presentarme ante ti. Pero con una sola palabra tuya mi siervo sanará. 8 Yo mismo sé lo que es estar bajo autoridad, y lo que es tener soldados bajo mis órdenes. Si a uno le digo “Ve allá”, él va; y si a otro le digo “Ven acá”, él viene; y si a mi siervo le digo: “Haz esto”, lo hace.» 9 Cuando Jesús oyó esto, se quedó admirado del centurión. Se volvió entonces a la gente que lo seguía, y dijo: «Quiero decirles que ni siquiera en Israel he hallado tanta fe.» 10 Los que habían sido enviados regresaron entonces a la casa, y se encontraron con que el siervo ya estaba sano.
Jesús resucita al hijo de la viuda de Naín
11 Después Jesús se dirigió a una ciudad llamada Naín. Lo acompañaron muchos de sus discípulos, y una gran multitud. 12 Cuando se acercó a la puerta de la ciudad, vio que llevaban a enterrar al hijo único de una viuda. Mucha gente de la ciudad acompañaba a la madre. 13 Cuando el Señor la vio, se compadeció de ella y le dijo: «No llores.» 14 Luego se acercó al féretro y lo tocó, y los que lo llevaban se detuvieron. Entonces Jesús dijo: «Joven, a ti te digo, ¡levántate!» 15 En ese momento, el que estaba muerto se incorporó y comenzó a hablar, y Jesús se lo entregó a su madre. 16 El miedo se apoderó de todos, y unos alababan a Dios y decían «Un gran profeta se ha levantado entre nosotros», y otros más decían «Dios ha venido a ayudar a su pueblo.» 17 Y la fama de Jesús se difundió por toda Judea y por toda la región vecina.
Los mensajeros de Juan el Bautista(B)
18 Los discípulos de Juan fueron a contarle todas estas cosas. Entonces Juan llamó a dos de sus discípulos, 19 y los envió a Jesús para que le preguntaran: «¿Eres tú aquel que había de venir, o esperaremos a otro?» 20 Aquellos fueron a ver a Jesús, y le dijeron: «Juan el Bautista nos ha enviado para que te preguntemos si eres tú el que ha de venir, o debemos esperar a otro.» 21 En ese mismo momento, Jesús sanó a muchos que tenían enfermedades, plagas y espíritus malignos, y a muchos ciegos les dio la vista. 22 Entonces Jesús les respondió: «Vuelvan y cuéntenle a Juan lo que han visto y oído: Los ciegos ven, los cojos andan, los leprosos son limpiados, los sordos oyen,(C) los muertos son resucitados, y a los pobres se les anuncian las buenas noticias.(D) 23 ¡Bienaventurado el que no tropieza por causa de mí!»
24 Cuando los mensajeros de Juan se fueron, Jesús comenzó a decir a la gente acerca de Juan: «¿Qué fueron ustedes a ver al desierto? ¿Querían ver una caña sacudida por el viento? 25 ¿O qué fueron a ver? ¿A un hombre vestido con ropa elegante? Los que se visten con ropa elegante y disfrutan de grandes lujos, están en los palacios de los reyes. 26 Entonces, ¿qué es lo que ustedes fueron a ver? ¿A un profeta? Pues yo les digo que sí, ¡y a alguien mayor que un profeta! 27 Porque éste es de quien está escrito:
»“Yo envío mi mensajero delante de ti,
para que te prepare el camino.”(E)
28 Yo les digo que, entre los que nacen de mujer, no hay nadie mayor que Juan el Bautista. Aun así, el más pequeño en el reino de Dios es mayor que él.» 29 Al oír esto, todo el pueblo y los cobradores de impuestos reconocieron la justicia de Dios y se bautizaron con el bautismo de Juan. 30 Pero los fariseos y los intérpretes de la ley rechazaron el propósito de Dios respecto de sí mismos, y no fueron bautizados por Juan.(F)
31 El Señor agregó: «¿Con qué compararé a la gente de esta generación? ¿A qué puedo compararlos? 32 Son como los niños que se sientan en la plaza y se gritan unos a otros: “Tocamos la flauta, y ustedes no bailaron; entonamos cantos fúnebres, y ustedes no lloraron.” 33 Porque vino Juan el Bautista, que no comía pan ni bebía vino, y ustedes decían: “Tiene un demonio.” 34 Luego vino el Hijo del Hombre, que come y bebe, y ustedes dicen: “Este hombre es un glotón y un borracho, amigo de cobradores de impuestos y de pecadores.” 35 Pero a la sabiduría la reivindican sus hijos.»
Jesús en la casa de Simón el fariseo
36 Uno de los fariseos invitó a Jesús a comer, así que Jesús fue a la casa del fariseo y se sentó a la mesa. 37 Cuando una mujer de la ciudad, que era pecadora, se enteró de que Jesús estaba a la mesa, en la casa del fariseo, llegó con un frasco de alabastro lleno de perfume. 38 Llorando, se arrojó a los pies de Jesús y comenzó a bañarlos con lágrimas y a secarlos con sus cabellos; también se los besaba, y los ungía con el perfume.(G) 39 Cuando el fariseo que lo había convidado vio esto, pensó: «Si éste fuera profeta, sabría que la mujer que lo está tocando es una pecadora.» 40 Entonces Jesús le dijo: «Simón, tengo que decirte algo.» Simón dijo: «Dime, Maestro.» 41 «Un acreedor tenía dos deudores: uno le debía quinientos denarios, y el otro cincuenta. 42 Como ninguno de los dos podía pagarle, les perdonó la deuda a los dos. Ahora, dime: ¿cuál de ellos lo amará más?» 43 Simón le respondió: «Me parece que aquel a quien le perdonó más.» Y Jesús le dijo: «Tu juicio es correcto.» 44 Entonces se volvió a la mujer y le dijo a Simón: «Mira a esta mujer. Cuando llegué a tu casa, no me diste agua para lavarme los pies, pero ésta los ha bañado con sus lágrimas y los ha secado con sus cabellos. 45 No me diste un beso, pero ésta no ha dejado de besarme los pies desde que entré. 46 No ungiste mi cabeza con aceite, pero ésta ha ungido mis pies con perfume. 47 Por eso te digo que sus muchos pecados le son perdonados, porque amó mucho. Pero a quien poco se le perdona, poco ama.» 48 Y a ella le dijo: «Tus pecados te son perdonados.» 49 Los que estaban sentados a la mesa con él, comenzaron a decir entre sí: «¿Quién es éste, que también perdona pecados?» 50 Pero Jesús le dijo a la mujer: «Tu fe te ha salvado. Ve en paz.»
