Luke 7
Tree of Life Version
A Centurion’s Faith at Capernaum
7 When Yeshua finished all His drash in the hearing of the people, He entered Capernaum. 2 Now a certain centurion had a valued slave, who was ill and about to die. 3 When he heard about Yeshua, he sent Jewish elders to Him, asking Him to come and save his slave. 4 When they came to Yeshua, they begged Him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy for You to grant this, 5 for he loves our people and even built our synagogue.”
6 Now Yeshua started to go with them; and when He wasn’t far from the house, the centurion sent friends to say to Him, “Master, do not trouble Yourself, for I’m not worthy for You to come under my roof. 7 That is why I didn’t consider myself worthy to come to You. But say the word and let my servant be healed. 8 For I also am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I say to this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this!’ and he does it.”
9 Now when Yeshua heard this, He was amazed at him. Turning to the crowd following Him, He said, “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith.” 10 When those who had been sent returned to the house, they found the slave in good health.
An Amazing Report Spreads throughout all Judea
11 The next day Yeshua traveled to a town called Nain, and coming along with Him were His disciples and a large crowd. 12 Just as He came near the town gate, behold, a dead man was being carried out, the only son of his mother, a widow. A considerable crowd from the town was with her.
13 When the Lord saw her, He felt compassion for her and said, “Don’t cry.” 14 Then He came up and touched the coffin, and the pallbearers came to a standstill. He said, “Young man! I tell you, get up!” 15 The dead man sat up and began speaking, and Yeshua gave him to his mother.[a]
16 Fear took hold of them all, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has appeared among us, and God has visited His people.” 17 This report concerning Him spread throughout all Judea and the surrounding region.
John Seeks Confirmation from Prison
18 John’s disciples reported to him about all these things. Calling two of his disciples, 19 John sent them to the Lord, saying, “Are you the One who is to come, or should we look for another?”
20 When they appeared before Him, the men said, “John the Immerser sent us to you, saying, ‘Are you the One who is to come, or shall we look for another?’”
21 At this very hour He was healing many of diseases, sicknesses, and evil spirits; and He granted sight to many who were blind. 22 And answering, He said to them, “Go report to John what you saw and heard: the blind see, the lame walk, those with tzara’at are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have good news proclaimed to them. [b] 23 Blessed is he who is not led to stumble because of Me.”
24 And after John’s messengers left, He began to speak about John to the crowds. “What did you go out to the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind? 25 No? So what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine garments? Look, those who wear finery and live in luxury are in the palaces of kings! 26 Then what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, even more than a prophet. 27 This is the one about whom it is written,
‘Behold, I send My messenger before You,
who will prepare Your way before You.’[c]
28 I say to you, there is no one greater than John among those born of women; yet the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”
29 And when all the people heard, even the tax collectors, they affirmed God’s justice, because they had been immersed with John’s immersion. 30 But the Pharisees and Torah lawyers, not having been immersed by John, declared God’s purpose invalid for themselves.
31 “So then, to what shall I compare the people of this generation? What are they like? 32 They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling to each other, saying,
‘We played the flute for you,
and you didn’t dance.
We sang a dirge, and you didn’t weep.’
33 “For John the Immerser has come not eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’ 34 The Son of Man has come eating and drinking. and you say, ‘Look, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ 35 Yet wisdom is vindicated by all her children.”
An Unwelcome Woman Finds Favor
36 Now one of the Pharisees was asking Yeshua if He would eat with him. Upon entering the Pharisee’s home, He reclined at the table. 37 And behold, a woman in the town who was a sinner, when she discovered that Yeshua was reclining at the Pharisee’s home, brought an alabaster jar of perfume. 38 As she stood behind Him at His feet, weeping, she began to drench His feet with tears and kept wiping them with her head of hair. Then she was kissing His feet and anointing them with perfume.
39 Now when the Pharisee who invited Him saw this, he said to himself, “If this were a prophet, He would know what sort of woman is touching Him—that she’s a sinner.”
40 And answering, Yeshua said to him, “Simon, I have something to say to you.”
And he said, “Say it, Teacher!”
41 “A moneylender had two debtors. One owed him five hundred denarii,[d] but the other fifty. 42 When neither could repay him, he canceled both debts. So which of them will love him more?”
43 Simon replied, “I suppose the one who had the bigger debt canceled.”
“You have judged correctly,” Yeshua said. 44 Turning toward the woman, He said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered into your house, and you didn’t give Me water for My feet. But she has drenched My feet with tears and wiped them with her hair. [e] 45 You didn’t greet Me with a kiss; but from the time she entered, she has not stopped kissing My feet. 46 You didn’t anoint My head with oil, but she has anointed My feet with perfume. 47 For this reason I tell you, her sins, which are many, have been forgiven—for she loved much. But the one who is forgiven little, loves little. 48 He then said to her, “Your sins have been forgiven.”
49 But those who were reclining at table with Him began to say to one another, “Who is this, who even forgives sins?”
50 Then He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you. Go in shalom.”

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.
Lucas 7
Ang Pulong Sang Dios
Gin-ayo ni Jesus ang Suluguon sang Kapitan(A)
7 Pagkatapos panudlo ni Jesus sa mga tawo, nagkadto siya sa Capernaum. 2 May kapitan didto sang mga soldado nga Romanhon nga may ulipon nga nagamasakit kag daw mapatay na. Palangga gid niya ang iya ulipon. 3 Gani pagkabati sang kapitan parte kay Jesus, ginsugo niya ang pila ka manugdumala sang mga Judio sa pagpangabay kay Jesus nga magkadto didto sa iya balay kag ayuhon ang iya ulipon. 4 Pag-abot nila kay Jesus nagpakitluoy gid sila sa iya. Nagsiling sila, “Kon mahimo buligi ang kapitan, kay maayo gid siya nga tawo. 5 Palangga niya kita nga mga Judio kag nagpatindog pa gani siya sang simbahan para sa aton.”
6 Gani nag-upod si Jesus sa ila. Sang malapit na sila sa balay sang kapitan, ginsugo sang kapitan ang pila ka amigo niya agod sugataon si Jesus kag silingon, “Ginoo, indi na pagpabudlayi ang imo kaugalingon. Indi ako takos nga magpasulod sa imo sa akon balay. 7 Amo gani nga indi ako ang nagkadto sa imo kay indi ako takos nga magpalapit sa imo. Maghambal ka lang kag magaayo ang akon suluguon. 8 Nahibaluan ko ini tungod kay ako sa idalom man sang mga opisyal, kag may mga soldado man sa idalom ko. Gani kon magmando ako sa isa, ‘lakat,’ nagalakat siya, kag kon magmando ako sa isa, ‘kadto diri,’ nagakadto siya. Kag kon ano ang akon ginasugo sa akon ulipon, ginahimo niya.” 9 Pagkabati sadto ni Jesus natingala gid siya. Nag-atubang siya sa mga tawo nga nagaupod sa iya kag nagsiling, “Wala pa gid ako nakakita sang tawo sa Israel nga may pagtuo nga pareho sini.” 10 Ang mga ginpadala sang kapitan nagbalik sa iya balay kag pag-abot nila, nakita nila nga maayo na ang ulipon.
Ginbanhaw ni Jesus ang Anak sang Balo nga Babayi
11 Sang wala madugay nagkadto si Jesus sa banwa sang Nain. Nag-upod sa iya ang iya mga sumulunod kag ang madamo nga mga tawo. 12 Sang malapit na sila sa puwertahan sang banwa sang Nain, nasugata nila ang madamo nga mga tawo nga nagakumpanyar. Ang napatay bugtong nga anak sang balo nga babayi. 13 Pagkakita ni Ginoong Jesus sa iloy sang napatay, naluoy gid siya. Siling niya, “Indi ka maghibi.” 14 Dayon nagpalapit si Jesus sa ginakargahan sang patay kag gintandog niya agod magpundo ang mga nagadala sini. Nagsiling si Jesus sa patay, “Noy, magbangon ka!” 15 Nagbangon ang patay, nagpungko kag naghambal. Dayon ginhatag siya ni Jesus sa iya iloy. 16 Sang makita ato sang mga tawo natingala gid sila, kag gindayaw nila ang Dios. Nagsiling sila, “Gindumdom sang Dios ang iya katawhan. Ginhatagan niya kita sang gamhanan nga propeta.” 17 Ang balita parte sa ginhimo ni Jesus naglapnag sa bug-os nga Judea kag sa tanan nga lugar sa palibot sini.
Si Jesus kag si Juan nga Manugbautiso(B)
18 Ini tanan nga hitabo ginbalita kay Juan sang iya mga sumulunod. 19 Gani gintawag ni Juan ang duha sang iya mga sumulunod kag ginsugo niya nga magkadto sa Ginoo sa pagpamangkot, “Ikaw bala ang amon ginapaabot ukon mahulat pa kami sang iban?” 20-21 Gani nagkadto sila kay Jesus. Pag-abot nila didto madamo ang ginapang-ayo ni Jesus nga mga masakiton, bisan ang mga grabe gid nga mga balatian, kag ang mga ginagamhan sang malaot nga espiritu. Madamo man nga mga bulag ang iya ginpang-ayo. Karon, nagpamangkot kay Jesus ang duha ka sumulunod ni Juan. Siling nila, “Ginsugo kami ni Juan nga manugbautiso sa pagpamangkot sa imo kon ikaw bala ang amon ginapaabot ukon mahulat pa kami sang iban?” 22 Ginsabat sila ni Jesus, “Magbalik kamo kay Juan kag sugiri ninyo siya sang inyo nakita kag nabatian. Sugiri ninyo siya nga ang mga bulag nakakita, ang mga piang nakalakat, ang mga may delikado nga balatian sa panit[a] nag-ayo kag nakabig na nga matinlo, ang mga bungol nakabati, ang mga patay nabanhaw, kag ang Maayong Balita ginawali sa mga imol. 23 Bulahan ang mga tawo nga wala nagaduhaduha sa akon.”[b]
24 Sang makahalin na ang mga ginsugo ni Juan, nagpamangkot si Jesus sa mga tawo, “Sang pagkadto ninyo kay Juan sa kamingawan, ano ang inyo ginapaabot nga makita? Nagkadto bala kamo didto agod makita ninyo ang tawo nga nagapaayon-ayon lang pareho sang kugon nga ginahapay-hapay sang hangin? 25 Ukon nagkadto bala kamo didto agod makita ninyo ang tawo nga nagabayo sang malahalon? Pero ang mga nagabayo sang malahalon kag nagapagusto sang ila pangabuhi nagaestar sa mga palasyo. 26 Abi sugiri ninyo ako kon ngaa nagkadto kamo didto. Indi bala para makita ninyo ang isa ka propeta? Huo, kag labaw pa gani siya sa propeta. 27 Kay siya amo ang ginasiling sang Dios sa Kasulatan, ‘Ipadala ko ang akon mensahero una sa imo sa pagpreparar sang imo alagyan.’ ”[c] 28 Nagsiling pa gid si Jesus, “Sa pagkamatuod, hasta subong wala pa gid sing may natawo nga maglabaw pa kay Juan. Pero karon ang bisan sin-o nga labing kubos sa mga nagapasakop sa paghari sang Dios mas labaw pa kay Juan.”
29 Pagkabati sang mga tawo, pati sang mga manugsukot sang buhis sa mga pagpanudlo ni Jesus, nagkomporme sila sa ginapahimo sang Dios, kay ini sila nagpabautiso na kay Juan. 30 Pero ang mga Pariseo kag ang mga manunudlo sang Kasuguan wala nagkomporme sa katuyuan sang Dios para sa ila, kay ini sila wala magpabautiso kay Juan.
31 Nagsiling pa gid si Jesus, “Sa ano ko bala ipaanggid ang mga tawo sa sini nga henerasyon? 32 Pareho sila sa mga bata nga nagapungko sa plasa nga nagahampang. Ang isa ka grupo nagasiling sa isa, ‘Gintukaran namon kamo sang sunata nga para sa kasal, pero wala kamo magsaot. Ginkantahan namon kamo sang kanta nga para sa patay, pero wala man kamo maghibi!’ 33 Kamo pareho man sa ila, kay sang pag-abot ni Juan, nakita ninyo nga nagapuasa siya kag wala nagainom sang bino, gani nagasiling kamo nga may malaot siya nga espiritu. 34 Kag ako nga Anak sang Tawo, pag-abot ko, nakita ninyo nga nagakaon kag nagainom, gani nagasiling kamo nga palakaon ako kag palainom. Nagasiling man kamo nga abyan ako sang mga manugsukot sang buhis kag sang iban pa nga mga makasasala. 35 Pero indi bali, ang mga tawo nga nagasunod sa kabubut-on sang Dios nagakomporme nga husto ang ginapahimo sang Dios sa amon.”[d]
Si Jesus sa Balay ni Simon nga Pariseo
36 Karon, may isa ka Pariseo nga nag-agda kay Jesus nga magkaon sa iya balay. Gani nagkadto si Jesus kag nagkaon didto. 37 Sa sina nga banwa may isa ka babayi nga kilala gid nga makasasala. Pagkabati niya nga didto si Jesus sa balay sang Pariseo nagkadto man siya didto. May dala siya nga pahamot nga nasulod sa tibod-tibod nga hinimo halin sa bato nga alabastro. 38 Nagpalapit siya sa likod ni Jesus, sa may tiilan dampi.[e] Kag didto nagahibi siya nga nagatulo ang iya mga luha sa tiil ni Jesus. Ginpahiran niya ini sang iya buhok kag ginhalukan. Pagkatapos ginbubuan niya sang pahamot ang tiil ni Jesus.
39 Sang pagkakita sadto sang Pariseo nga nag-agda kay Jesus, nagsiling siya sa iya kaugalingon, “Kon ini nga tawo matuod nga propeta, kuntani nahibaluan niya kon sin-o kag kon ano nga klase sang babayi ang nagatandog sa iya, kay ang babayi nga ina makasasala.” 40 Pero nahibaluan ni Jesus kon ano ang ara sa iya hunahuna, gani nagsiling siya, “Simon, may isugid ako sa imo.” Nagsabat si Simon, “Ano ina, manunudlo?” 41 Nagsiling si Jesus, “May duha ka tawo nga nag-utang sang kuwarta sa manugpautang. Ang isa nag-utang 500, kag ang isa 50. 42 Sang ulihi, tungod nga indi sila makabayad, wala na lang sila pagpabayara sang nagpautang sa ila. Ti, sin-o ayhan sa ila nga duha ang magahigugma sing labi sa ila nautangan?” 43 Nagsabat si Simon, “Siguro ang may dako nga utang.” Nagsiling si Jesus, “Husto ang imo sabat.” 44 Dayon ginbalikid niya ang babayi kag nagsiling kay Simon, “Nakita mo bala ang ginhimo sang babayi nga ini? Pagsulod ko diri sa imo balay wala mo ako paghatagi sang tubig nga inughugas sa akon tiil. Pero ang babayi nga ini, ginhugasan niya ang akon tiil paagi sa iya luha, kag ang iya buhok amo pa ang ginhimo niya nga inugpahid. 45 Wala mo ako paghaluki bilang pag-abiabi. Pero ini nga babayi, halin pa sang akon pag-abot diri wala untat ang iya paghalok sa akon tiil. 46 Wala mo pagpatului sang lana ang akon ulo bilang pagbaton mo sa akon, pero ini nga babayi, ang malahalon gid nga pahamot ang iya ginbubo sa akon tiil. 47 Gani sugiran ko ikaw, nga ang dako nga gugma nga ginpakita niya sa akon nagapamatuod nga ang iya madamo nga sala ginpatawad na; pero sa tawo nga diutay lang ang sala nga ginpatawad, diutay lang ang paghigugma nga iya ginapakita.” 48 Naghambal dayon si Jesus sa babayi, “Ginpatawad na ang imo mga sala.” 49 Ang mga nagakaon kaupod ni Jesus nagsiling sa ila kaugalingon, “Sin-o bala ini nga bisan ang mga sala mapatawad niya?” 50 Dayon nagsiling si Jesus sa babayi, “Ang imo pagtuo nagluwas sa imo. Magpauli ka nga may kalinong.”
