6 ¶ Yon jou repo, Jezi t'ap pase nan yon jaden ble. Disip li yo keyi kèk grap ble, yo fwote yo nan men yo, epi yo t'ap manje grenn yo.
2 Te gen kèk farizyen la ki di yo konsa: Poukisa n'ap fè bagay lalwa nou pa pèmèt moun fè gwo jou repo a?
3 Jezi pran lapawòl, li di farizyen yo konsa: Eske nou pa li sa David te fè li menm ak moun pa l' yo, yon jou yo te grangou?
4 Li antre nan kay Bondye a, li pran pen yo te ofri bay Bondye a, li manje, li bay moun pa l' yo manje tou. Men dapre lalwa nou an, se prèt yo sèlman ki gen dwa manje pen sa yo.
5 Apre sa li di yo: Mwen menm, Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a, mwen se mèt repo a.
6 Yon lòt jou repo, Jezi antre nan sinagòg la, li t'ap moutre moun yo anpil bagay. Te gen yon nonm nan lasanble a ki te gen men dwat li pòk.
7 Dirèktè lalwa yo ak farizyen yo t'ap veye Jezi konsa pou wè si l' t'ap geri moun jou repo a, paske yo te vle jwenn yon kòz pou akize li.
8 Men, Jezi te konnen sak te dèyè tèt yo. Lè sa a, li di nonm ki te gen menm pòk la: Leve, vin kanpe la a nan mitan nou. Nonm lan leve kanpe.
9 Apre sa, Jezi di moun yo: M'ap mande nou kichòy: Kisa lalwa a pèmèt moun fè jou repo a? Byen oswa mal? Sove lavi yon moun osinon kite l' mouri?
10 Apre sa, li pwonmennen je l' sou yo tout, li di nonm lan: Lonje men ou. Nonm lan lonje men li. Latou, men an geri.
11 Men, lòt moun yo pa t' manke ankòlè; yo t'ap diskite yonn ak lòt sou sa yo ta kapab fè Jezi.
12 ¶ Lè sa a, Jezi moute sou yon ti mòn pou l' lapriyè. Li pase tout nwit lan ap lapriyè.
13 Lè l' fè jou, li rele disip li yo, li chwazi douz nan yo, li rele yo apòt.
14 Se te Simon (Jezi te ba l' yon ti non Pyè), ak Andre, frè l', Jak ak Jan, Filip ak Batèlmi,
15 Matye ak Toma, Jak, pitit Alfè a, ak Simon (patriyòt la),
16 Jid, pitit Jak la, avèk Jida Iskariòt, nonm ki te trayi Jezi a.
17 Li desann ti mòn lan ak yo, li rete sou yon ti platon. Te gen anpil nan disip li yo ki te sanble la ak yon gwo mas pèp. Moun yo te soti toupatou; te gen moun Jide, moun lavil Jerizalèm, ak moun nan lavil Tir ak lavil Sidon ki bò lanmè a. Yo te vin tande l', yo t'ap mande l' geri malad yo tou.
18 Moun ki te gen move lespri ap toumante yo te geri tou.
19 Tout moun t'ap chache manyen l', paske te gen yon fòs ki t'ap soti nan Jezi ki t'ap geri yo tout.
20 ¶ Lè sa a, Jezi gade disip li yo, li di yo: benediksyon pou nou menm ki pòv, paske Peyi kote Bondye Wa a, se pou nou li ye.
21 benediksyon pou nou menm ki grangou koulye a, paske n'a jwenn manje an kantite. benediksyon pou nou menm k'ap kriye koulye a, paske nou pral nan kè kontan.
22 benediksyon pou nou si lèzòm rayi nou, si yo pa vle wè nou, si yo joure nou, si yo meprize nou tankou move moun, poutèt mwen menm, Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a.
23 Fè kè n' kontan lè sa va rive; nou mèt kontan nèt paske yon gwo rekonpans ap tann nou nan syèl la. Se konsa zansèt nou yo te maltrete pwofèt yo.
24 Men, malè pou nou, nou menm moun rich yo, paske nou deja jwenn sa nou t'ap chache a.
25 Malè pou nou, nou menm ki gen tout bagay an kantite koulye a, paske nou pral grangou pou n' mouri. Malè pou nou, nou menm k'ap ri koulye a, paske nou pral nan lapenn, se pa ti kriye n'a kriye.
26 Malè pou nou lè tout moun ap di nou se bon moun, paske se konsa zansèt nou yo te aji ak fo pwofèt yo.
27 ¶ Nou menm k'ap koute m' la a, men sa m'ap di nou: renmen tout lènmi nou yo. Fè byen pou moun ki rayi nou.
28 Mande benediksyon pou moun k'ap ban nou madichon. Lapriyè pou moun k'ap maltrete nou.
29 Si yon moun ban nou yon souflèt sou yon bò figi, vire lòt bò a ba li. Si yon moun pran levit nou, kite l' pran chemiz nou tou.
30 Nenpòt moun ki mande nou kichòy, ba li l'. Si yon moun pran sa ki pou nou, kite l' pou li.
31 Tou sa nou va vle lòt moun fè pou nou, fè l' pou yo tou.
32 Si nou plede renmen sèlman moun ki renmen nou, ki benediksyon pou n' tann pou sa? Mechan yo tou yo renmen moun ki renmen yo.
33 Si nou fè byen sèlman pou moun ki fè nou byen, ki benediksyon pou nou tann pou sa? Mechan yo fè menm jan an tou.
34 Si se moun nou konnen k'ap renmèt nou nou prete sèlman, ki benediksyon pou nou tann pou sa? Mechan yo tou, yo prete mechan parèy yo ki kapab renmèt yo sa yo te prete yo a san mank.
35 Non, nou menm se pou nou renmen lènmi nou yo, fè byen pou yo. Prete san nou pa mete espwa nou sou renmèt. Se konsa n'a resevwa yon gwo rekonpans. Se lè sa a n'a pitit Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la, paske li menm, li bon ni pou engra ni pou mechan.
36 Se pou nou gen kè sansib menm jan Bondye, papa nou, gen kè sansib.
37 ¶ Pa jije moun, konsa Bondye p'ap jije nou. Pa kondannen moun, konsa Bondye p'ap kondannen nou. Padonnen yo, konsa Bondye va padonnen nou tou.
38 Bay, Bondye va ban nou. La lage yon bon mezi, byen souke, byen foule, ak tout tiyon l', nan pòch rad nou. Mezi nou sèvi pou mezire lòt yo, se li menm Bondye va pran pou mezire nou tou.
39 Epi li di yo yon lòt parabòl: Eske yon avèg ka mennen yon lòt avèg? Eske tou de p'ap tonbe nan menm twou a?
40 Yon elèv pa pifò pase mèt li; men yon elèv ki fini nèt, l'ap fò tankou mèt li.
41 Poukisa w'ap gade ti pay ki nan je frè ou, epi ou pa wè gwo bout bwa a ki nan je pa ou la?
42 Ou menm ki pa wè gwo bout bwa ki nan je pa ou la, ki jan ou kapab di frè ou: Frè m', kite m' wete ti pay ki nan je ou la? Ipokrit! Wete gwo bout bwa ki nan je pa ou la anvan. Apre sa, wa wè klè pou ou wete pay ki nan je frè ou la.
43 Yon bon pyebwa pa bay move donn, ni yon move pyebwa pa bay bon donn.
44 Yo rekonèt kalite yon pyebwa sou donn li bay. Yo pa keyi fig frans sou pye rakèt, ni yo pa rekòlte rezen sou tout vye lyann.
45 Yon nonm ki bon, se bon bagay li rale soti nan kè li ki bon. Yon nonm ki mechan, se move bagay li rale soti nan kè li ki move. Paske, sak nan kè yon nonm, se sak soti nan bouch li.
46 Poukisa n'ap plede rele mwen: Mèt, Mèt, epi nou pa fè sa m' di nou fè?
47 Moun ki vin jwenn mwen, ki tande pawòl mwen epi ki fè sa mwen di fè, men ki jan l'ap ye:
48 L'ap tankou yon nonm k'ap bati yon kay; li fouye tè a byen fon, li moute fondasyon kay la sou wòch. Dlo desann, lavalas frape kay la. Men, kay la pa brannen paske li te byen bati.
49 Men, moun ki tande pawòl mwen, ki pa fè sa mwen di fè, li tankou yon nonm ki bati yon kay ratè, san fondasyon. Lavalas frape kay la, yon sèl kou kay la tonbe, li kraze nèt.
7 ¶ Lè Jezi fin pale tout pawòl sa yo ak pèp la, li ale lavil Kapènawòm.
2 Nan lavil sa a, yon kaptenn lame a te gen yon domestik li te renmen anpil. Domestik sa a te twouve l' malad prèt pou mouri.
3 Kaptenn lan tande pale sou Jezi; se konsa li voye kèk chèf fanmi nan jwif yo al mande Jezi pou l' vin geri domestik li a.
4 Yo rive bò kot Jezi, yo di li: Tanpri, fè sa pou li, li merite li. Paske li renmen pèp nou an.
5 Se li ki te bati sinagòg la pou nou.
6 Jezi ale avè yo. Li te rive toupre kay la lè kaptenn lan voye kèk zanmi di l' konsa: Mèt, pa bay kò ou tout traka sa a. Mwen pa merite pou ou antre lakay mwen.
7 Se poutèt sa mwen pa t' kwè m' ase bon pou m' te vin jwenn ou, mwen menm. Annik di yon mo, domestik mwen an va geri.
8 Mwen menm, mwen sou zòd chèf, mwen gen sòlda sou zòd mwen tou. Lè m' di yonn: Ale! li ale. Lè m' di yon lòt: Vini! li vini. Lè m' di domestik mwen an: Fè sa! li fè li.
9 Lè Jezi tande pawòl sa yo, li vin gen yon gwo admirasyon pou kaptenn lan. Li vire bò foul moun ki t'ap swiv li a, li di yo: M'ap di nou sa: Mwen poko janm jwenn yon moun ki gen konfyans nan Bondye konsa, pa menm nan pèp Izrayèl la.
10 Lè zanmi kaptenn lan te voye yo tounen nan kay la, yo jwenn domestik ki te malad la geri.
11 ¶ Apre sa, Jezi ale nan yon lavil yo rele Nayen. Disip li yo t'ap fè wout avè l' ansanm ak yon gwo foul moun.
12 Li rive bò pòtay lavil la. Lè sa a yo t'ap pote yon mò al antere: se te sèl pitit gason yon madanm vèv. Te gen anpil moun lavil la avèk li.
13 Lè Jezi wè vèv la, kè l' fè l' mal pou li, li di li: Pa kriye, tande!
14 Apre sa li pwoche, li manyen sèkèy la. Moun ki t'ap pote l' yo ret kanpe. Li di: Jennonm, se mwen menm k'ap pale avè ou. Leve.
15 Epi mò a leve chita, li kòmanse pale. Jezi renmèt li bay manman li.
16 Tout moun yo te pè, yo t'ap fè lwanj Bondye, yo t'ap di: Yon gwo pwofèt parèt nan mitan nou! Yo t'ap di tou: Bondye vin sove pèp li a.
17 Nouvèl la te gaye nan tout peyi Jide a ak nan tout vwazinaj la.
18 Patizan Jan Batis yo te rakonte tout bagay sa yo bay Jan Batis.
19 ¶ Jan rele de ladan yo, li voye yo bò kot Jezi al mande li: Eske ou se moun nou konnen ki gen pou vini an, osinon èske nou dwe tann yon lòt?
20 Lè mesye sa yo rive bò kot Jezi, yo di li: Jan Batis voye nou bò kote ou vin mande ou: Eske ou se moun nou konnen ki gen pou vini an, osinon èske nou dwe tann yon lòt?
21 Lè sa a, Jezi t'ap geri anpil moun malad ak anpil moun enfim, li t'ap wete yo anba pouvwa move lespri, li t'ap fè anpil avèg wè ankò.
22 Apre sa, li reponn moun Jan Batis te voye yo konsa: Ale rakonte Jan sa nou sot wè ak sa nou sot tande la a: je avèg yo louvri, moun ki t'ap bwete yo mache byen, moun ki te gen maladi lalèp yo geri, moun soudè yo tande, moun mouri yo leve, pòv yo tande bon nouvèl la.
23 benediksyon pou moun ki p'ap jwenn nan mwen okazyon pou yo tonbe nan peche.
24 Lè moun Jan te voye yo al fè wout yo, Jezi kòmanse pale ak foul moun yo sou Jan Batis. Li di yo konsa: Kisa nou te al wè nan dezè a? Yon pye wozo van ap balanse? Non.
25 Men, kisa nou te al wè menm? Yon nonm abiye ak bèl rad? Ala, moun ki abiye ak bèl rad, k'ap viv nan jwisans, se kay wa yo jwenn yo.
26 Men, manyè di m' kisa nou tal wè? Yon pwofèt? Wi. Mwen menm, mwen di nou: li pi plis pase yon pwofèt.
27 Men sa ki te ekri sou Jan Batis: Men m'ap voye mesaje m' lan devan ou, la louvri chemen an devan pou ou.
28 M'ap di nou sa: Nan tout moun ki fèt sou latè pa gen yonn ki pi konsekan pase Jan Batis. Men, moun ki pi piti nan peyi kote Bondye wa a pi konsekan pase li.
29 Tout pèp la ansanm ak pèseptè kontribisyon yo t'ap tande li. Moun sa yo te rekonèt se Bondye ki gen rezon, se pou sa yo te fè Jan Batis batize yo.
30 Men, farizyen yo ak dirèktè lalwa yo te refize sa Bondye te vle fè pou yo; se sak fè yo pa t' kite Jan Batis batize yo.
31 Jezi di yo ankò: Ak ki moun mwen ta konpare moun k'ap viv nan tan alèkile yo? Ki moun yo sanble menm?
32 Yo sanble timoun ki chita sou plas piblik. Yonn ap rele lòt pou di l' konsa: Nou jwe mizik cho pou nou ak fif nou, nou pa danse. Nou chante chante ki tris pou nou, nou pa kriye.
33 Jan Batis vini, li pa manje pen, ni li pa bwè diven, nou di: Li gen yon move lespri sou li.
34 Mwen menm, Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a, mwen vini, mwen manje, mwen bwè, nou di: Gade yon nonm! Se manje ak bwè ase l' konnen; se zanmi pèseptè kontribisyon ak moun k'ap fè sa ki mal li ye.
35 Men, tout moun ki asepte bon konprann Bondye a, yo moutre se Bondye nan bon konprann li ki gen rezon.
36 ¶ Yon farizyen te envite Jezi vin manje avè li. Jezi ale lakay farizyen an; li chita bò tab la pou l' manje.
37 Nan lavil sa a, te gen yon fanm movèz vi. Lè fanm lan pran nouvèl Jezi t'ap manje lakay farizyen an, li pote yon ti boutèy fèt an albat plen odè.
38 Li mete kò l' dèyè bò pye Jezi. Li kriye, li kriye, li mouye pye Jezi ak dlo ki t'ap soti nan je li. Apre sa, li siye yo ak cheve l', li bo yo, epi li vide odè sou yo.
39 Lè farizyen ki te envite Jezi a wè sa, li t'ap di nan kè l': Si nonm sa a te yon pwofèt vre, se pou l' ta konnen ki kalite moun fanm sa k'ap manyen l' lan ye, li ta konnen ki movèz vi fanm sa a ap mennen.
40 Lè sa a, Jezi pran lapawòl, li di l' konsa: Simon, mwen gen kichòy pou m' di ou. Simon reponn li: Mèt, ou mèt pale wi.
41 Jezi di li: Vwala, se te de moun ki te dwe yon nonm ki te prete yo lajan; premye a te dwe l' senksan (500) goud; lòt la te dwe l' senkant goud.
42 Ni yonn ni lòt pa t' gen dekwa peye dèt la. Lè sa a, nonm lan di yo yo pa bezwen peye dèt la ankò. Kilès nan yo de a va renmen l' plis?
43 Simon reponn li: Mwen ta kwè se nonm ki te dwe l' plis la. Jezi di l': Ou byen reponn.
44 Epi li vire bò fanm lan, li di Simon: Ou wè fanm sa a? Mwen antre lakay ou, ou pa menm ban m' dlo pou m' lave pye m'; men li menm, li lave pye m' ak dlo ki soti nan je l'. Apre sa, li siye yo ak cheve li.
45 Ou pa te bo m' lè m' t'ap antre lakay ou; men li menm, depi mwen antre se bo l'ap bo pye m'.
46 Ou pa vide lwil sou tèt mwen; men li menm, li vide odè sou pye mwen.
47 Se poutèt sa, mwen di ou: li fè tout bagay sa yo pou moutre jan li renmen anpil, paske yo padonnen li anpil peche. Men, yon moun yo padonnen yon ti kras, se yon ti kras l'ap moutre jan l' renmen tou.
48 Apre sa, Jezi di fanm lan: Peche ou yo padonnen.
49 Moun ki te chita bò tab la avèk li yo pran di nan kè yo: Ki moun nonm sa a ye menm pou li padonnen peche?
50 Men Jezi di fanm lan: Se konfyans ou nan Bondye ki sove ou. Ale ak kè poze.

Luke 6-7
New International Version
Jesus Is Lord of the Sabbath(A)
6 One Sabbath Jesus was going through the grainfields, and his disciples began to pick some heads of grain, rub them in their hands and eat the kernels.(B) 2 Some of the Pharisees asked, “Why are you doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?”(C)
3 Jesus answered them, “Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?(D) 4 He entered the house of God, and taking the consecrated bread, he ate what is lawful only for priests to eat.(E) And he also gave some to his companions.” 5 Then Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man(F) is Lord of the Sabbath.”
6 On another Sabbath(G) he went into the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there whose right hand was shriveled. 7 The Pharisees and the teachers of the law were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched him closely(H) to see if he would heal on the Sabbath.(I) 8 But Jesus knew what they were thinking(J) and said to the man with the shriveled hand, “Get up and stand in front of everyone.” So he got up and stood there.
9 Then Jesus said to them, “I ask you, which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?”
10 He looked around at them all, and then said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did so, and his hand was completely restored. 11 But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law were furious(K) and began to discuss with one another what they might do to Jesus.
The Twelve Apostles(L)
12 One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God.(M) 13 When morning came, he called his disciples to him and chose twelve of them, whom he also designated apostles:(N) 14 Simon (whom he named Peter), his brother Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, 15 Matthew,(O) Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Simon who was called the Zealot, 16 Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.
Blessings and Woes(P)
17 He went down with them and stood on a level place. A large crowd of his disciples was there and a great number of people from all over Judea, from Jerusalem, and from the coastal region around Tyre and Sidon,(Q) 18 who had come to hear him and to be healed of their diseases. Those troubled by impure spirits were cured, 19 and the people all tried to touch him,(R) because power was coming from him and healing them all.(S)
20 Looking at his disciples, he said:
“Blessed are you who are poor,
for yours is the kingdom of God.(T)
21 Blessed are you who hunger now,
for you will be satisfied.(U)
Blessed are you who weep now,
for you will laugh.(V)
22 Blessed are you when people hate you,
when they exclude you(W) and insult you(X)
and reject your name as evil,
because of the Son of Man.(Y)
23 “Rejoice in that day and leap for joy,(Z) because great is your reward in heaven. For that is how their ancestors treated the prophets.(AA)
24 “But woe to you who are rich,(AB)
for you have already received your comfort.(AC)
25 Woe to you who are well fed now,
for you will go hungry.(AD)
Woe to you who laugh now,
for you will mourn and weep.(AE)
26 Woe to you when everyone speaks well of you,
for that is how their ancestors treated the false prophets.(AF)
Love for Enemies(AG)
27 “But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,(AH) 28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.(AI) 29 If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn to them the other also. If someone takes your coat, do not withhold your shirt from them. 30 Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back.(AJ) 31 Do to others as you would have them do to you.(AK)
32 “If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you?(AL) Even sinners love those who love them. 33 And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do that. 34 And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you?(AM) Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full. 35 But love your enemies, do good to them,(AN) and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children(AO) of the Most High,(AP) because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. 36 Be merciful,(AQ) just as your Father(AR) is merciful.
Judging Others(AS)
37 “Do not judge, and you will not be judged.(AT) Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.(AU) 38 Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap.(AV) For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”(AW)
39 He also told them this parable: “Can the blind lead the blind? Will they not both fall into a pit?(AX) 40 The student is not above the teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like their teacher.(AY)
41 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 42 How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
A Tree and Its Fruit(AZ)
43 “No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. 44 Each tree is recognized by its own fruit.(BA) People do not pick figs from thornbushes, or grapes from briers. 45 A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.(BB)
The Wise and Foolish Builders(BC)
46 “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’(BD) and do not do what I say?(BE) 47 As for everyone who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice,(BF) I will show you what they are like. 48 They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. 49 But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete.”
The Faith of the Centurion(BG)
7 When Jesus had finished saying all this(BH) 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.(BI) 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(BJ)
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(BK) 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!”(BL) 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(BM) and praised God.(BN) “A great prophet(BO) has appeared among us,” they said. “God has come to help his people.”(BP) 17 This news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and the surrounding country.(BQ)
Jesus and John the Baptist(BR)
18 John’s(BS) disciples(BT) 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(BU) 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.(BV) 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?(BW) 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(BY) 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.(BZ) 30 But the Pharisees and the experts in the law(CA) 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,(CB) 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.’(CC) 35 But wisdom is proved right by all her children.”
Jesus Anointed by a Sinful Woman(CD)(CE)
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,(CF) 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,(CG) but she wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. 45 You did not give me a kiss,(CH) but this woman, from the time I entered, has not stopped kissing my feet. 46 You did not put oil on my head,(CI) 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.”(CJ)
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;(CK) go in peace.”(CL)
