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.”

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)

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!“
