1Nowwhen he had endedallhissayingsin the audience of the people, he enteredintoCapernaum.
2And a certain centurion's servant, whowasdear unto him, wassick, andready to die.
3And when he heardofJesus, he sentuntohim the eldersof the Jews, beseechinghimthat he would comeandhealhisservant.
4And when they cametoJesus, they besoughthiminstantly, saying, That he wasworthy for whom he should dothis:
5Forhelovethournation, andhe hath builtus a synagogue.
6ThenJesuswentwiththem. And when hewasnownotfarfrom the house, the centurionsentfriendstohim, saying unto him, Lord, troublenotthyself: for I amnotworthythat thou shouldest enterundermyroof:
7Whereforeneither thought Imyselfworthy to comeuntothee: butsay in a word, andmyservant shall be healed.
8ForIalsoam a mansetunderauthority, havingundermesoldiers, andIsay unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to myservant, Dothis, and he doeth it.
9WhenJesusheard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned himabout, andsaid unto the people that followedhim, I say unto you, I have notfound so greatfaith, no, notinIsrael.
10And they that were sent, returningto the house, found the servantwhole that had been sick.
11And it came to pass the day after, that he wentinto a citycalledNain; andmany of hisdiscipleswentwithhim, andmuchpeople.
12Nowwhen he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the onlyson of hismother, andshewas a widow: andmuchpeople of the citywaswithher.
13And when the Lordsawher, he had compassiononher, andsaid unto her, Weepnot.
14And he cameandtouched the bier: and they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.
15And he that was dead sat up, andbegan to speak. And he deliveredhim to hismother.
16And there came a fear on all: and they glorifiedGod, saying, That a greatprophet is risen upamongus; and, ThatGod hath visitedhispeople.
17Andthisrumourofhim went forththroughoutallJudaea, andthroughoutall the region round about.
18And the disciplesofJohnshewedhimofall these things.
19AndJohncalling unto him two of hisdisciplessent them toJesus, saying, Artthou he that should come?or look we foranother?
20When the men were comeuntohim, they said, JohnBaptist hath sentusuntothee, saying, Artthou he that should come?or look we foranother?
21Andin that samehour he curedmanyof their infirmitiesandplagues, andofevilspirits; and unto many that were blind he gavesight.
22ThenJesusansweringsaid unto them, Go your way, andtellJohn what things ye have seenandheard; how that the blindsee, the lamewalk, the lepers are cleansed, the deafhear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached.
23Andblessedis he, whosoevershallnot be offendedinme.
24And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speakunto the peopleconcerningJohn, What went ye outinto the wilderness for to see? A reedshakenwith the wind?
25Butwhat went ye out for to see? A manclothedinsoftraiment?Behold, they which aregorgeouslyapparelled, andlivedelicately, arein kings' courts.
26Butwhat went ye out for to see? A prophet?Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.
27Thisis he, ofwhom it iswritten, Behold, Isendmymessengerbeforethyface, which shall preparethywaybeforethee.
28For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there isnot a greaterprophetthanJohn the Baptist: buthe that isleastin the kingdom of Godisgreaterthanhe.
29Andall the people that heard him, and the publicans, justifiedGod, being baptized with the baptism of John.
30But the Phariseesandlawyersrejected the counselofGodagainstthemselves, beingnotbaptizedofhim.
31And the Lordsaid, Whereuntothen shall I liken the men of thisgeneration?and to what are theylike?
32
They arelike unto childrensittingin the marketplace, andcalling one to another, andsaying, We havepiped unto you, and ye havenotdanced; we havemourned to you, and ye havenotwept.
33ForJohn the Baptistcameneithereatingbreadnordrinkingwine; and ye say, He hath a devil.
34
The Son of man is comeeatinganddrinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonousman, and a winebibber, a friend of publicansandsinners!
35Butwisdom is justifiedofallherchildren.
36Andone of the Phariseesdesiredhimthat he would eatwithhim. And he wentinto the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat.
37And, behold, a womanin the city, whichwas a sinner, when she knewthat Jesus sat at meatin the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,
38Andstoodathisfeetbehind him weeping, andbegan to washhisfeet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of herhead, andkissedhisfeet, andanointed them with the ointment.
39Now when the Phariseewhich had biddenhimsaw it, he spakewithinhimself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have knownwhoand what manner of woman this isthattouchethhim: for she is a sinner.
40AndJesusansweringsaiduntohim, Simon, I havesomewhat to sayuntothee. And he saith, Master, sayon.
41
There was a certaincreditor which had twodebtors: the oneowed five hundredpence, and the otherfifty.
42And when theyhadnothing to pay, he frankly forgavethemboth. Tell metherefore, which of them will lovehimmost?
43Simonansweredandsaid, I supposethat he, to whom he forgavemost. And he said unto him, Thou hastrightlyjudged.
44And he turnedto the woman, andsaid unto Simon, Seest thouthiswoman? I enteredintothinehouse, thou gavest menowaterformyfeet: butshe hath washedmyfeet with tears, andwiped them with the hairs of herhead.
45
Thou gavestmenokiss: but this womansince the time I came inhathnotceased to kissmyfeet.
46Myhead with oil thou didstnotanoint: but this woman hath anointedmyfeet with ointment.
47Wherefore I say unto thee, Hersins, which are many, are forgiven; for she lovedmuch: but to whomlittle is forgiven, the same lovethlittle.
48And he said unto her, Thysins are forgiven.
49And they that sat at meat with himbegan to saywithinthemselves, Whoisthisthatforgivethsinsalso?
50And he saidto the woman, Thyfaith hath savedthee; goinpeace.
