1After he had ended all his sayings in the ears of the people , he entered into Capernaum . 2And a certain centurion ’ s servant , who was dear unto him , was sick and at the point of death. 3And when he heard concerning Jesus , he sent unto him elders of the Jews , asking him that he would come and save his servant . 4And they , when they came to Jesus , besought him earnestly , saying , He is worthy that thou shouldest do this for him ; 5for he loveth our nation , and himself built us our synagogue . 6And 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 come under my roof : 7wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say the word , and my servant shall be healed . 8For I also am a man set under authority , having under myself soldiers : and I say to this one , Go , and he goeth ; and to another , Come , and he cometh ; and to my servant , Do this , and he doeth it . 9And when Jesus heard these things , he marvelled at him , and turned and said unto the multitude that followed him , I say unto you , I have not found so great faith , no , not in Israel . 10And they that were sent , returning to the house , found the servant whole .
Jesus Raises a Widow's Son
11And it came to pass soon afterwards , that he went to a city called Nain ; and his disciples went with him , and a great multitude . 12Now when he drew near to the gate of the city , behold , there was carried out one that was dead , the only son of his mother , and she was a widow : and much people of the city was with her . 13And when the Lord saw her , he had compassion on her , and said unto her , Weep not . 14And he came nigh and touched the bier : and the bearers stood still . And he said , Young man , I say unto thee, Arise . 15And he that was dead sat up , and began to speak . And he gave him to his mother . 16And fear took hold on all : and they glorified God , saying , A great prophet is arisen among us : and , God hath visited his people . 17And this report went forth concerning him in the whole of Judæa , and all the region round about .
John the Baptist's Inquiry
18And the disciples of John told him of all these things . 19And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to the Lord , saying , Art thou he that cometh , or look we for another ? 20And when the men were come unto him , they said , John the Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying , Art thou he that cometh , or look we for another ? 21In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits ; and on many that were blind he bestowed sight . 22And he answered and said unto them , Go and tell John the things which ye have seen and heard; the blind receive their sight, the lame walk , the lepers are cleansed , and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up , the poor have good tidings preached to them . 23And blessed is he , whosoever shall find no occasion of stumbling in me . 24And when the messengers of John were departed , he began to say unto the multitudes concerning John , What went ye out into the wilderness to behold ? a reed shaken with the wind? 25But what went ye out to see ? a man clothed in soft raiment ? Behold , they that are gorgeously apparelled , and live delicately , are in kings ’ courts. 26But what went ye out to see ? a prophet ? Yea , I say unto you , and much more than a prophet . 27This is he of whom it is written , Behold , I send my messenger before thy face , Who shall prepare thy way before thee. 28I say unto you , Among them that are born of women there is none greater than John : yet he that is but little in the kingdom of God is greater than he . 29And all the people when they heard, and the publicans , justified God , being baptized with the baptism of John . 30But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected for themselves the counsel of God , being not baptized of him . 31Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation , and to what are they like ? 32They are like unto children that sit in the marketplace, and call one to another ; who say , We piped unto you , and ye did not dance ; we wailed, and ye did not weep . 33For John the Baptist is come eating no bread nor drinking wine ; and ye say , He hath a demon . 34The Son of man is come eating and drinking ; and ye say , Behold , a gluttonous man , and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners! 35And wisdom is justified of all her children .
A Sinful Woman Anoints Jesus
36And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him . And he entered into the Pharisee ’s house , and sat down to meat . 37And behold , a woman who was in the city , a sinner; and when she knew that he was sitting at meat in the Pharisee ’s house , she brought an alabaster cruse of ointment , 38and standing behind at his feet , weeping , she began to wet his feet with her tears , and wiped them with the hair of her head , and kissed his feet , and anointed them with the ointment . 39Now when the Pharisee that had bidden him saw it , he spake within himself , saying , This man , if he were a prophet , would have perceived who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him , that she is a sinner. 40And Jesus answering said unto him , Simon , I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith , Teacher , say on . 41A certain lender had two debtors : the one owed five hundred shillings, and the other fifty . 42When they had not wherewith to pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most ? 43Simon answered and said , He , I suppose , to whom he forgave the most . And he said unto him , Thou hast rightly judged . 44And turning to the woman , he said unto Simon , Seest thou this woman ? I entered into thy house , thou gavest me no water for my feet : but she hath wetted my feet with her tears , and wiped them with her hair . 45Thou gavest me no kiss : but she , since the time I came in , hath not ceased to kiss my feet . 46My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but she hath anointed my feet with ointment . 47Wherefore 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 . 48And he said unto her , Thy sins are forgiven. 49And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves , Who is this that even forgiveth sins? 50And he said unto the woman , Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace .
