7AFTER JESUS had finished all that He had to say in the hearing of the people [on the mountain], He entered Capernaum.G1161G1893G4137G3956G846G4487G1519G189G2992G1525G1519G2584 2Now a centurion had a bond servant who was held in honor {and} highly valued by him, who was sick and at the point of death.G1161G5100G1543G1401G3739G2258G1784G846G2192G2560G3195G5053 3And when the centurion heard of Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to Him, requesting Him to come and make his bond servant well.G1161G191G4012G2424G649G4314G846G4245G2453G2065G846G3704G2064G1295G846G1401 4And when they reached Jesus, they begged Him earnestly, saying, He is worthy that You should do this for him,G1161G3854G4314G2424G3870G846G4709G3004G3754G2076G514G3739G3930G5124 5For he loves our nation and he built us our synagogue [at his own expense].G1063G25G2257G1484G2532G846G3618G2254G4864 6And Jesus went with them. But when He was not far from the house, the centurion sent [some] friends to Him, saying, Lord, do not trouble [Yourself], for I am not sufficiently worthy to have You come under my roof;G1161G2424G4198G4862G846G1161G846G568G2235G3756G3112G575G3614G1543G3992G5384G4314G846G3004G846G2962G4660G3361G4660G1063G1510G3756G2425G2443G1525G5259G3450G4721 7Neither did I consider myself worthy to come to You. But [just] speak a word, and my servant boy will be healed.G1352G3761G515G1683G515G2064G4314G4571G235G2036G3056G2532G3450G3816G2390 8For I also am a man [daily] subject to authority, with soldiers under me. And I say to one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my bond servant, Do this, and he does it.G1063G1473G2532G1510G444G5021G5259G1849G2192G5259G1683G4757G2532G3004G5129G4198G2532G4198G2532G243G2064G2532G2064G2532G3450G1401G4160G5124G2532G4160 9Now when Jesus heard this, He marveled at him, and He turned and said to the crowd that followed Him, I tell you, not even in [all] Israel have I found such great faith [as this].G1161G2424G191G5023G2296G846G2532G4762G2036G3793G190G846G3004G5213G2147G5118G4102G3761G1722G2474 10And when the messengers who had been sent returned to the house, they found the bond servant {who had been ill} quite well again.G2532G3992G5290G1519G3624G2147G1401G5198G770 11Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain, and His disciples and a great throng accompanied Him.G2532G1096G1722G1836G4198G1519G4172G2564G3484G2532G2425G846G3101G4848G846G2532G4183G3793 12[Just] as He drew near the gate of the town, behold, a man who had died was being carried out--the only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and a large gathering from the town was accompanying her.G1161G5613G1448G4439G4172G2532G2400G1580G2348G1580G3439G5207G846G3384G2532G846G2258G5503G2532G2425G3793G4172G2258G4862G846 13And when the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said to her, Do not weep.G2532G2962G1492G846G4697G1909G846G2532G2036G846G2799G3361 14And He went forward and touched the funeral bier, and the pallbearers stood still. And He said, Young man, I say to you, arise [from death]!G2532G4334G680G4673G1161G941G2476G2532G2036G3495G3004G4671G1453 15And the man [who was] dead sat up and began to speak. And [Jesus] gave him [back] to his mother.G2532G3498G339G2532G756G2980G2532G1325G846G846G3384 16Profound {and} reverent fear seized them all, and they began to recognize God {and} praise {and} give thanks, saying, A great Prophet has appeared among us! And God has visited His people [in order to help and care for and provide for them]!G1161G2983G5401G537G2532G1392G2316G3004G3754G3173G4396G1453G1722G2254G2532G3754G2316G1980G846G2992 17And this report concerning [Jesus] spread through the whole of Judea and all the country round about. [I Kings 17:17-24; II Kings 4:32-37.]G2532G3778G3056G4012G846G1831G1722G3650G2449G2532G1722G3956G4066 18And John's disciples brought him [who was now in prison] word of all these things.G2532G3101G2491G518G846G4012G3956G5130 19And John summoned to him a certain two of his disciples and sent them to the Lord, saying, Are You He Who is to come, or shall we [continue to] look for another?G2532G2491G4341G1417G5100G846G3101G3992G4314G2424G3004G1488G4771G2064G2228G4328G243 20So the men came to Jesus and said, John the Baptist sent us to You to ask, Are You the One Who is to come, or shall we [continue to] look for another?G1161G435G3854G4314G846G2036G2491G910G649G2248G4314G4571G3004G1488G4771G2064G2228G4328G243 21In that very hour Jesus was healing many [people] of sicknesses and distressing bodily plagues and evil spirits, and to many who were blind He gave [a free, gracious, joy-giving gift of] sight.G1161G1722G846G5610G2323G4183G575G3554G2532G3148G2532G4190G4151G2532G4183G5185G5483G991 22So He replied to them, Go and tell John what you have seen and heard: the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the good news (the Gospel) preached to them.G2532G2424G611G2036G846G4198G518G2491G3739G1492G2532G191G3754G5185G308G5560G4043G3015G2511G2974G191G3498G1453G4434G2097 23And blessed (happy--with life-joy and satisfaction in God's favor and salvation, apart from outward conditions--and to be envied) is he who takes no offense in Me {and} who is not hurt {or} resentful {or} annoyed {or} repelled {or} made to stumble [whatever may occur].G2532G3107G2076G3739G4624G3362G4624G1722G1698 24And the messengers of John having departed, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John: What did you go out into the desert to gaze on? A reed shaken {and} swayed by the wind?G1161G32G2491G565G756G3004G4314G3793G4012G2491G5101G1831G1519G2048G2300G2563G4531G5259G417 25Then what did you go out to see? A man dressed up in soft garments? Behold, those who wear fine apparel and live in luxury are in the courts {or} palaces of kings.G235G5101G1831G1492G444G294G1722G3120G2440G2400G1722G1741G2441G2532G5225G5172G1526G1722G933 26What then did you go out to see? A prophet (a forthteller)? Yes, I tell you, and far more than a prophet.G235G5101G1831G1492G4396G3483G3004G5213G2532G4055G4396 27This is the one of whom it is written, Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, who shall make ready Your way before You.G3778G2076G4012G3739G1125G2400G1473G649G3450G32G4253G4675G4383G3739G2680G4675G3598G1715G4675 28I tell you, among those born of women there is no one greater than John; but he that is inferior [to the other citizens] in the kingdom of God is greater [in incomparable privilege] than he.G1063G3004G5213G1722G1084G1135G2076G3762G3187G4396G3187G2491G910G1161G3398G1722G932G2316G2076G3187G846 29And all the people who heard Him, even the tax collectors, acknowledged the justice of God [in calling them to repentance and in pronouncing future wrath on the impenitent], being baptized with the baptism of John.G2532G3956G2992G191G2532G5057G1344G2316G907G908G2491 30But the Pharisees and the lawyers [of the Mosaic Law] annulled {and} rejected {and} brought to nothing God's purpose concerning themselves, by [refusing and] not being baptized by him [John].G1161G5330G2532G3544G114G1012G2316G1519G1438G907G3361G907G5259G846 31So to what shall I compare the men of this generation? And what are they like?G1161G2962G2036G5101G3767G3666G444G5026G1074G2532G5101G1526G3664 32They are like little children sitting in the marketplace, calling to one another and saying, We piped to you [playing wedding], and you did not dance; we sang dirges {and} wailed [playing funeral], and you did not weep.G1526G3664G3813G2521G1722G58G2532G4377G240G2532G3004G832G5213G2532G3738G3756G3738G2354G5213G2532G2799G3756G2799 33For John the Baptist has come neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, He has a demon.G1063G2491G910G2064G3383G2068G740G3383G4095G3631G2532G3004G2192G1140 34The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, Behold, a Man Who is a glutton and a wine drinker, a friend of tax collectors and notorious sinners.G5207G444G2064G2068G2532G4095G2532G3004G2400G5314G444G2532G3630G5384G5057G2532G268 35Yet wisdom is vindicated (shown to be true and divine) by all her children [by their life, character, and deeds].G2532G4678G1344G575G3956G846G5043 36One of the Pharisees asked Jesus to dine with him, and He went into the Pharisee's house and reclined at table.G1161G5100G5330G2065G846G2443G5315G3326G846G2532G1525G1519G5330G3614G347 37And behold, a woman of the town who was an especially wicked sinner, when she learned that He was reclining at table in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster flask of ointment (perfume).G2532G2400G1135G1722G4172G3748G2258G268G1921G3754G345G1722G5330G3614G2865G211G3464 38And standing behind Him at His feet weeping, she began to wet His feet with [her] tears; and she wiped them with the hair of her head and kissed His feet [affectionately] and anointed them with the ointment (perfume).G2532G2476G3844G846G4228G3694G2799G756G1026G846G4228G1144G2532G1591G2359G846G2776G2532G2705G846G4228G2532G218G3464 39Now when the Pharisee who had invited Him saw it, he said to himself, If this Man were a prophet, He would surely know who and what sort of woman this is who is touching Him--for she is a notorious sinner (a social outcast, devoted to sin).G1161G5330G3588G2564G846G1492G2036G1722G1438G3004G3778G1487G2258G4396G302G1097G5101G2532G4217G1135G3748G680G846G3754G2076G268 40And Jesus, replying, said to him, Simon, I have something to say to you. And he answered, Teacher, say it.G2532G2424G611G2036G4314G846G4613G2192G5100G2036G4671G1161G5346G1320G2036 41A certain lender of money [at interest] had two debtors: one owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.G2258G5100G1157G1417G5533G1520G3784G4001G1220G1161G2087G4004 42When they had no means of paying, he freely forgave them both. Now which of them will love him more?G1161G846G2192G3361G591G5483G297G2036G3767G5101G846G25G846G4119 43Simon answered, The one, I take it, for whom he forgave {and} cancelled more. And Jesus said to him, You have decided correctly.G4613G611G1161G2036G5274G3754G3739G5483G4119G1161G2036G846G2919G3723G2919 44Then turning toward the woman, He said to Simon, Do you see this woman? When I came into your house, you gave Me no water for My feet, but she has wet My feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.G2532G4762G4314G1135G5346G4613G991G5026G1135G1525G1519G4675G3614G1325G3756G5204G1909G3450G4228G1161G3778G846G1026G3450G4228G1144G2532G1591G2359G846G2776 45You gave Me no kiss, but she from the moment I came in has not ceased [intermittently] to kiss My feet tenderly {and} caressingly.G1325G3427G3756G5370G1161G3778G846G575G3739G1525G1257G3756G1257G2705G3450G4228 46You did not anoint My head with [cheap, ordinary] oil, but she has anointed My feet with [costly, rare] perfume.G3450G2776G1637G218G3756G218G1161G3778G846G218G3450G4228G3464 47Therefore I tell you, her sins, many [as they are], are forgiven her--because she has loved much. But he who is forgiven little loves little.G3739G5484G3004G4671G846G266G3588G4183G863G3754G25G4183G1161G3739G3641G863G25G3641 48And He said to her, Your sins are forgiven!G1161G2036G846G4675G266G863 49Then those who were at table with Him began to say among themselves, Who is this Who even forgives sins?G2532G4873G756G3004G1722G1438G5101G2076G3778G3739G863G266G2532 50But Jesus said to the woman, Your faith has saved you; go (enter) into peace [in freedom from all the distresses that are experienced as the result of sin].G1161G2036G4314G1135G4675G4102G4982G4571G4198G1519G1515
