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.”

すばらしい奇跡
7 これらの話を終えると、イエスはカペナウムの町に帰って行かれました。
2 ちょうどそのころ、あるローマ軍の隊長が目をかけていた召使が、病気で死にかかっていました。 3 イエスの評判を聞いた隊長は、日頃みんなに尊敬されているユダヤ人の長老たちをイエスのところにやり、召使のいのちを助けに来てくださいと願いました。 4 長老たちは、この隊長がどんなにすばらしい人物かを説明し、熱心にイエスに頼みました。「あなたに助けていただく価値のある人がいるとしたら、この方こそふさわしい人です。 5 ユダヤ人を愛し、会堂も建ててくれました。」 6-7 そこで、イエスは長老たちといっしょに出かけました。家まであとわずかという時、隊長の友人たちが来て、彼のことづけを伝えました。「先生。わざわざおいでくださいませんように。とてもそんな名誉を受ける資格はございません。自分でお迎えに上がることさえ失礼と存じます。どうぞ今おられる所で、おことばをください。それで十分でございます。そうすれば、召使は必ず治ります。 8 私は上官の権威の下にある者ですが、その私でさえ、部下には権威があります。私が『行け』と命じれば行きますし、『来い』と言えば来ます。また奴隷にも、『あれをやれ』『これをやれ』と言えば、そのとおりにするのです。」 9 これを聞くと、イエスはたいへん驚き、群衆のほうをふり向いて言われました。「皆さん。これほどの信仰を持った人は、イスラエル中でも見たことがありません。」 10 使いの者たちが戻ってみると、召使はすっかり治っていました。
11 それからまもなく、イエスは弟子たちといっしょにナインの町へ行かれました。いつものように、あとから大ぜいの人の群れがついて行きます。 12 町の門の近くで、葬式の列にばったり出会いました。死んだのは、夫に先立たれた女の一人息子でした。町の人が大ぜい母親に付き添っています。 13 痛々しい母親の姿を見てかわいそうに思ったイエスは、「泣かなくてもいいのですよ」と、やさしく声をおかけになりました。 14 そして歩み寄り、棺に手をかけると、かついでいた人たちが立ち止まったので、「少年よ、起きなさい」と言われました。 15 すると少年はすぐに起き上がり、回りの人たちに話しかけるではありませんか。イエスは少年を母親に返しました。 16 人々はびっくりし、ことばも出ませんでしたが、次の瞬間、あちこちから神を賛美する声がわき上がりました。「大預言者だ！」「神様のお働きだ！ この目で見たぞ！」 17 この日の出来事は、あっという間にユダヤ全土と回りの地方一帯に広まりました。
イエスとヨハネ
18 イエスのこうしたわざの数々は、バプテスマのヨハネの弟子たちの耳にも入り、細大もらさずヨハネに報告されました。 19-20 ヨハネは、弟子を二人イエスのもとへやり、こう尋ねさせました。「あなたは、ほんとうに私たちの待ち続けてきたお方ですか。それとも、まだ別の方をお待ちしなければならないのでしょうか。」 21 ちょうどその時、イエスはさまざまな病気にかかった大ぜいの病人を治し、盲人を見えるようにし、悪霊を追い出しておられるところでした。 22 イエスの答えはこうでした。「帰って、ヨハネに、今ここで見聞きしたことを話しなさい。盲人が見えるようになり、立てなかった人が今は自分で歩けるようになり、ツァラアトの人が治り、耳の聞こえなかった人が聞こえるようになり、死人が生き返り、貧しい人々が福音（神の救いの知らせ）を聞いていることなどを。 23 それから、わたしを疑わない人は幸いです、と伝えなさい。」
24 ヨハネの弟子たちが帰ってから、イエスは人々に、ヨハネのことを話し始められました。「あなたがたは、ヨハネに会いに荒野へ出かけた時、どんな人物だと考えていましたか。風にそよぐ葦のような人だとでも思ったのですか。 25 それとも、きらびやかに着飾った人に会えるとでも……。ぜいたくな暮らしをしている人なら宮殿にいます。荒野にはいません。 26 あるいは、預言者に会えると期待したのですか。そのとおり、ヨハネは預言者以上の者です。 27 彼こそ聖書の中で、『見よ。わたしはあなたより先に使者を送る。その使者は人々に、あなたを迎える準備をさせる』（マラキ3・1）と言われている、その人です。 28 今まで生まれた人の中で、ヨハネほどすぐれた働きをした人はいません。けれども、神の国で一番小さい者でも、ヨハネよりはずっと偉大なのです。 29 ヨハネの教えを聞いた人はみな、取税人たちでさえ、神の正しさを認め、バプテスマ（洗礼）を受けました。 30 ただ、パリサイ人と律法の専門家だけが受け入れなかったのです。彼らはあつかましくも、神のご計画を退け、ヨハネのバプテスマを拒否したのです。 31 このような人々のことを、どう言ったらいいでしょう。 32 まるで遊び友達に文句を言っている子どものようです。『結婚式ごっこをしようって言ったのに、ちっともうれしがってくれないし、それで葬式ごっこにしたら、今度はぜんぜん悲しがってくれない』と嘆くのです。 33 つまり、バプテスマのヨハネが何度も断食し、生涯、酒も飲まずにいると、『彼は気が変になっている』と言い、 34 わたしが食事をしたり、ぶどう酒を飲んだりすると、『あいつは大食いで大酒飲み、一番たちの悪い罪人どもの仲間だ』とののしります。 35 けれども、神の知恵の正しさは、神を信じる者たちが証明するのです。」
罪を赦された女
36 あるパリサイ人から食事に招待されたので、イエスはその家に入りました。一同が食卓に着いていると、 37 町の女が一人、高価な香油の入った美しいつぼを持ってやって来ました。この女は不道徳な生活をしていました。 38 女は部屋に入るなり、イエスのうしろにひざまずき、さめざめと泣きました。あまり泣いたので、イエスの足が涙でぬれるほどでした。女はていねいに自分の髪でイエスの足の涙をぬぐい、心を込めて足に口づけしてから、その上に香油を注ぎかけました。 39 イエスを招待したパリサイ人はこの出来事を見て、「これで、やつが預言者でないことがはっきりした。もしほんとうに神から遣わされた者なら、この女の正体がわかるはずだから」とひそかに思いました。
40 ところが、イエスはすべてを見通しておられました。「シモンよ。あなたに言っておきたいことがあります。」「はい、先生。何でしょう。」 41 「ある男が二人の人に金を貸しました。一人は五百デナリ（一デナリは一日の賃金）、もう一人は五十デナリ借りました。 42 ところが二人とも、どうしても借金を返せません。金を貸した男はたいへん思いやりのある人だったので、二人の借金を帳消しにしてやりました。この二人のうちどちらの人がよけいに貸し主に感謝し、彼を愛したでしょうか。」 43 「たくさん借りていたほうでしょう。」シモンの答えに、イエスも、「そのとおりです」とうなずかれました。 44 それから、ひざまずいている女のほうをふり向き、シモンに言われました。「ほら、この女を見なさい。わたしがこの家に来た時、あなたは足を洗う水さえ出してくれませんでした。ところがこの女は、涙でわたしの足を洗い、髪でふいてくれました。 45 あなたはあいさつの口づけをしてくれませんでしたが、この女はわたしが入って来た時から、何度も足に口づけしてくれました。 46 あなたはわたしの頭にオリーブ油を注いでくれましたか。この女は、わたしの足にこんなに高価な香油を注いでくれたのです。 47 この女の多くの罪が赦されたからです。そして、わたしを多く愛してくれたからです。少ししか赦されていない者は、少ししか愛さないのです。」
48 そして女に言われました。「あなたの罪は赦されています。」 49 その場に同席していた人たちは、心の中でつぶやき始めました。「罪を赦すなんて、いったい自分をだれだと思っているのだろう。」 50 しかし、イエスは女に、「あなたの信仰があなたを救ったのです。安心してお帰りなさい」と言われました。

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)
