Chapter 7
1
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, +w I say|strong=“G3004”+w* +w unto you|strong=“G5213”+w*, +w I have|strong=“G2147”+w* +w not|strong=“G3761”+w* +w found|strong=“G2147”+w* +w so great|strong=“G5118”+w* +w faith|strong=“G4102”+w*, no, +w not|strong=“G3761”+w* +w in|strong=“G1722”+w* +w Israel|strong=“G2474”+w*.
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, +w Weep|strong=“G2799”+w* +w not|strong=“G3361”+w*.
14
And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still. And he said, +w Young man|strong=“G3495”+w*, +w I say|strong=“G3004”+w* +w unto thee|strong=“G4671”+w*, +w Arise|strong=“G1453”+w*.
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 Judæa, 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, +w Go your way|strong=“G4198”+w*, +w and tell|strong=“G0518”+w* +w John|strong=“G2491”+w* +w what things|strong=“G3739”+w* +w ye have seen|strong=“G1492”+w* +w and|strong=“G2532”+w* +w heard|strong=“G0191”+w*; +w how that|strong=“G3754”+w* +w the blind|strong=“G5185”+w* +w see|strong=“G0308”+w*, +w the lame|strong=“G5560”+w* +w walk|strong=“G4043”+w*, +w the lepers|strong=“G3015”+w* +w are cleansed|strong=“G2511”+w*, +w the deaf|strong=“G2974”+w* +w hear|strong=“G0191”+w*, +w the dead|strong=“G3498”+w* +w are raised|strong=“G1453”+w*, +w to the poor|strong=“G4434”+w* +w the gospel is preached|strong=“G2097”+w*.

24
¶ And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak unto the people concerning John, +w What|strong=“G5101”+w* +w went ye out|strong=“G1831”+w* +w into|strong=“G1519”+w* +w the wilderness|strong=“G2048”+w* +w for to see|strong=“G2300”+w*? +w A reed|strong=“G2563”+w* +w shaken|strong=“G4531”+w* +w with|strong=“G5259”+w* +w the wind|strong=“G0417”+w*?
25
+w But|strong=“G0235”+w* +w what|strong=“G5101”+w* +w went ye out|strong=“G1831”+w* +w for to see|strong=“G1492”+w*? +w A man|strong=“G0444”+w* +w clothed|strong=“G0294”+w* +w in|strong=“G1722”+w* +w soft|strong=“G3120”+w* +w raiment|strong=“G2440”+w*? +w Behold|strong=“G2400”+w*, +w they which|strong=“G3588”+w* +w are|strong=“G1722”+w* +w gorgeously|strong=“G1741”+w* +w apparelled|strong=“G2441”+w*, +w and|strong=“G2532”+w* +w live|strong=“G5225”+w* +w delicately|strong=“G5172”+w*, +w are|strong=“G1526”+w* +w in|strong=“G1722”+w* +w kings’ courts|strong=“G0934”+w*.
26
+w But|strong=“G0235”+w* +w what|strong=“G5101”+w* +w went ye out|strong=“G1831”+w* +w for to see|strong=“G1492”+w*? +w A prophet|strong=“G4396”+w*? +w Yea|strong=“G3483”+w*, +w I say|strong=“G3004”+w* +w unto you|strong=“G5213”+w*, +w and|strong=“G2532”+w* +w much more than|strong=“G4053”+w* +w a prophet|strong=“G4396”+w*.
27
+w This|strong=“G3778”+w* +w is|strong=“G2076”+w* +add he+add*, +w of|strong=“G4012”+w* +w whom|strong=“G3739”+w* +w it is written|strong=“G1125”+w*, +w Behold|strong=“G2400”+w*, +w I|strong=“G1473”+w* +w send|strong=“G0649”+w* +w my|strong=“G3450”+w* +w messenger|strong=“G0032”+w* +w before|strong=“G4253”+w* +w thy|strong=“G4675”+w* +w face|strong=“G4383”+w*, +w which|strong=“G3739”+w* +w shall prepare|strong=“G2680”+w* +w thy|strong=“G4675”+w* +w way|strong=“G3598”+w* +w before|strong=“G1715”+w* +w thee|strong=“G4675”+w*.

+w For|strong=“G1063”+w* +w I say|strong=“G3004”+w* +w unto you|strong=“G5213”+w*, +w Among|strong=“G1722”+w* +w those that are born|strong=“G1084”+w* +w of women|strong=“G1135”+w* +w there is|strong=“G2076”+w* +w not|strong=“G3762”+w* +w a greater|strong=“G3187”+w* +w prophet|strong=“G4396”+w* +w than|strong=“G3187”+w* +w John|strong=“G2491”+w* +w the Baptist|strong=“G0910”+w*: +w but|strong=“G1161”+w* +w he that is least|strong=“G3398”+w* +w in|strong=“G1722”+w* +w the kingdom|strong=“G0932”+w* +w of God|strong=“G2316”+w* +w is|strong=“G2076”+w* +w greater than|strong=“G3187”+w* +w he|strong=“G0846”+w*.
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, +w Whereunto|strong=“G5101”+w* +w then|strong=“G3767”+w* +w shall I liken|strong=“G3666”+w* +w the men|strong=“G0444”+w* +w of this|strong=“G3778”+w* +w generation|strong=“G1074”+w*? +w and|strong=“G2532”+w* +w to what|strong=“G5101”+w* +w are they|strong=“G1526”+w* +w like|strong=“G3664”+w*?
32
+w They are|strong=“G1526”+w* +w like|strong=“G3664”+w* +w unto children|strong=“G3813”+w* +w sitting|strong=“G2521”+w* +w in|strong=“G1722”+w* +w the marketplace|strong=“G0058”+w*, +w and|strong=“G2532”+w* +w calling|strong=“G4377”+w* +w one to another|strong=“G0240”+w*, +w and|strong=“G2532”+w* +w saying|strong=“G3004”+w*, +w We have piped|strong=“G0832”+w* +w unto you|strong=“G5213”+w*, +w and|strong=“G2532”+w* +w ye have|strong=“G3738”+w* +w not|strong=“G3756”+w* +w danced|strong=“G3738”+w*; +w we have mourned|strong=“G2354”+w* +w to you|strong=“G5213”+w*, +w and|strong=“G2532”+w* +w ye have|strong=“G2799”+w* +w not|strong=“G3756”+w* +w wept|strong=“G2799”+w*.
33
+w For|strong=“G1063”+w* +w John|strong=“G2491”+w* +w the Baptist|strong=“G0910”+w* +w came|strong=“G2064”+w* +w neither|strong=“G3383”+w* +w eating|strong=“G2068”+w* +w bread|strong=“G0740”+w* +w nor|strong=“G3383”+w* +w drinking|strong=“G4095”+w* +w wine|strong=“G3631”+w*; +w and|strong=“G2532”+w* +w ye say|strong=“G3004”+w*, +w He hath|strong=“G2192”+w* +w a devil|strong=“G1140”+w*.

35
+w But|strong=“G2532”+w* +w wisdom|strong=“G4678”+w* +w is justified|strong=“G1344”+w* +w of|strong=“G0575”+w* +w all|strong=“G3956”+w* +w her|strong=“G0846”+w* +w children|strong=“G5043”+w*.
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, j +w Simon|strong=“G4613”+w*, +w I have|strong=“G2192”+w* +w somewhat|strong=“G5100”+w* +w to say|strong=“G2036”+w* +w unto thee|strong=“G4671”+w*. And he saith, Master, say on.
41
+w There was|strong=“G2258”+w* +w a certain|strong=“G5100”+w* +w creditor|strong=“G1157”+w* +w which had|strong=“G2258”+w* +w two|strong=“G1417”+w* +w debtors|strong=“G5533”+w*: +w the one|strong=“G1520”+w* +w owed|strong=“G3784”+w* +w five hundred|strong=“G4001”+w* +w pence|strong=“G1220”+w*, +w and|strong=“G1161”+w* +w the other|strong=“G2087”+w* +w fifty|strong=“G4004”+w*.
42
+w And|strong=“G1161”+w* +w when|strong=“G2192”+w* +w they|strong=“G0846”+w* +w had|strong=“G2192”+w* +w nothing|strong=“G3361”+w* +w to pay|strong=“G0591”+w*, +w he frankly forgave|strong=“G5483”+w* +w them both|strong=“G0297”+w*. +w Tell me|strong=“G2036”+w* +w therefore|strong=“G3767”+w*, +w which|strong=“G5101”+w* +w of them|strong=“G0846”+w* +w will love|strong=“G0025”+w* +w him|strong=“G0846”+w* +w most|strong=“G4119”+w*?
43
Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, +w Thou hast|strong=“G2919”+w* +w rightly|strong=“G3723”+w* +w judged|strong=“G2919”+w*.
44
And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, +w Seest thou|strong=“G0991”+w* +w this|strong=“G3778”+w* +w woman|strong=“G1135”+w*? +w I entered|strong=“G1525”+w* +w into|strong=“G1519”+w* +w thine|strong=“G4675”+w* +w house|strong=“G3614”+w*, +w thou gavest me|strong=“G1325”+w* +w no|strong=“G3756”+w* +w water|strong=“G5204”+w* +w for|strong=“G1909”+w* +w my|strong=“G3450”+w* +w feet|strong=“G4228”+w*: +w but|strong=“G1161”+w* +w she|strong=“G0846”+w* +w hath washed|strong=“G1026”+w* +w my|strong=“G3450”+w* +w feet|strong=“G4228”+w* +w with tear|strong=“G1144”+ws, +w and|strong=“G2532”+w +w wiped|strong=“G1591”+w* +add them+add* +w with the hairs|strong=“G2359”+w* +w of her|strong=“G0846”+w* +w head|strong=“G2776”+w*.
45
+w Thou gavest|strong=“G1325”+w* +w me|strong=“G3427”+w* +w no|strong=“G3756”+w* +w kiss|strong=“G5370”+w*: +w but|strong=“G1161”+w* +w this woman|strong=“G0846”+w* +w since|strong=“G0575”+w* +w the time|strong=“G3739”+w* +w I came in|strong=“G1525”+w* +w hath|strong=“G1257”+w* +w not|strong=“G3756”+w* +w ceased|strong=“G1257”+w* +w to kiss|strong=“G2705”+w* +w my|strong=“G3450”+w* +w feet|strong=“G4228”+w*.
46
+w My|strong=“G3450”+w* +w head|strong=“G2776”+w* +w with oil|strong=“G1637”+w* +w thou didst|strong=“G0218”+w* +w not|strong=“G3756”+w* +w anoint|strong=“G0218”+w*: +w but|strong=“G1161”+w* +w this woman|strong=“G0846”+w* +w hath anointed|strong=“G0218”+w* +w my|strong=“G3450”+w* +w feet|strong=“G4228”+w* +w with ointment|strong=“G3464”+w*.
47
+w Wherefore|strong=“G5484”+w* +w I say|strong=“G3004”+w* +w unto thee|strong=“G4671”+w*, +w Her|strong=“G0846”+w* +w sins|strong=“G0266”+w*, +w which|strong=“G3588”+w* +w are many|strong=“G4183”+w*, +w are forgiven|strong=“G0863”+w*; +w for|strong=“G3754”+w* +w she loved|strong=“G0025”+w* +w much|strong=“G4183”+w*: +w but|strong=“G1161”+w* +w to whom|strong=“G3739”+w* +w little|strong=“G3641”+w* +w is forgiven|strong=“G0863”+w*, +add the same+add* +w loveth|strong=“G0025”+w* +w little|strong=“G3641”+w*.
48
And he said unto her, +w Thy|strong=“G4675”+w* +w sins|strong=“G0266”+w* +w are forgiven|strong=“G0863”+w*.
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, +w Thy|strong=“G4675”+w* +w faith|strong=“G4102”+w* +w hath saved|strong=“G4982”+w* +w thee|strong=“G4571”+w*; +w go|strong=“G4198”+w* +w in|strong=“G1519”+w* +w peace|strong=“G1515”+w*.
