According to Luke 7

¶After he had finished speaking in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.

A certain centurion’s servant, who was dear to him, was sick and at the point of death.

When he heard about Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, asking him to come and save his servant.

When they came to Jesus, they begged him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy for you to do this for him,

for he loves our nation, and he built our synagogue for us.”

Jesus went with them. When he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, “Lord, don’t trouble yourself, for I am not worthy for you to come under my roof.

Therefore Nay, I didn’t even think myself worthy to come to you; but say the word, and my servant will be healed.

For I also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”

¶When Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turned and said to the multitude who followed him, “I tell you, I have not found such great faith, no, not in Israel.”

Those who were sent, returning to the house, found that the servant who had been sick was well.

¶It happened soon afterwards, that he went to a city called Nain. Many of his disciples, along with a great multitude, went with him.

Now when As he drew near to neared the gate of the city, behold, also was carried out, having died, one who was dead was carried out, the an only born-in-kind son of to his mother, and she was a widow. Many people of And a sizeable crowd from the city were was with her.

When the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said to her, “Don’t cry.”

He came near and And approaching he touched the coffin, and the bearers stood still stopped. And He he said:, “Young man, I tell you, arise!” Young man, I say to you, Get up!

He who was And the dead one sat up, and began to speak. talk, And and he gave him to his mother.

¶Fear took hold of all, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has arisen among us!” and, “God has visited his people!”

This report went out concerning him in the whole of Judea, and in all the surrounding region.

¶The disciples of John told sent a message to him about all these things.

John, calling to himself two of his disciples, sent them to Jesus, saying, “Are you the one who is coming, or should we look for another?”

When the men had come to him, they said, “John the Baptizer has sent us to you, saying, ‘Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?’”

¶In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and to many who were blind he gave sight.

Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John the things which you have seen and heard: that the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have are having good news preached relayed to them.

¶When John’s messengers had departed, he began to tell the multitudes about John, “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

This is he of whom it is written,

‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face,

who will prepare your way before you.’^*

¶“For I tell you, among those who are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptizer, yet he who is least in the Kingdom of God is greater than he.”

¶When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, and the tax collectors, they declared upheld^[a] God to be just, having been by being baptized with John’s baptism.

But the Pharisees and the lawyers legalists rejected for themselves the counsel of God, (by) not being baptized by him themselves.

¶^*“To what then will I liken the people of this generation? What, to what even are they like?

¶One of the Pharisees invited him to eat with him. He entered into the Pharisee’s house, and sat at the table.

Behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that he was reclining in the Pharisee’s house, she brought an alabaster jar of ointment.

Standing behind at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and she wiped them with the hair of her head, kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.

Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he said to himself, “This man, if he were a prophet, would have perceived who and what kind of woman this is who touches him, that she is a sinner.”

¶Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.”
¶He said, “Teacher, say on.”

¶“A certain lender had two debtors. The one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.

¶Simon answered, “He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most.”
¶He said to him, “You have judged correctly.”

Turning to the woman, he said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered into your house, and you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head.

He said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”

¶Those who sat at the table with him began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”

¶He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”
