Luke 7 — GNV

7Verse 1When hee had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entred into Capernaum.^{Verse 2}And a certaine Ceturions seruant was sicke and readie to die, which was deare vnto him.^{Verse 3}And when he heard of Iesus, hee sent vnto him the Elders of the Iewes, beseeching him that he would come, and heale his seruant.^{Verse 4}So they came to Iesus, and besought him instantly, saying that hee was worthy that hee should doe this for him:^{Verse 5}For he loueth, said they, our nation, and he hath built vs a Synagogue.^{Verse 6}Then Iesus went with them: but when he was now not farre from the house, the Centurion sent friendes to him, saying vnto him, Lord, trouble not thy selfe: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter vnder my roofe:^{Verse 7}Wherefore I thought not my selfe worthy to come vnto thee: but say the word, and my seruant shalbe whole:^{Verse 8}For I likewise am a man set vnder authoritie, and haue vnder mee souldiers, and I say vnto one, Goe, and he goeth: and to another, Come, and hee commeth: and to my seruant, Doe this, and he doeth it.^{Verse 9}When Iesus heard these things, he marueiled at him, and turned him, and said to the people, that followed him, I say vnto you, I haue not found so great faith, no not in Israel.^{Verse 10}And when they that were sent, turned backe to the house, they founde the seruant that was sicke, whole.^{Verse 11}And it came to passe the day after, that he went into a citie called Nain, and many of his disciples went with him, and a great multitude.^{Verse 12}Nowe when hee came neere to the gate of the citie, behold, there was a dead man caried out, who was the onely begotten sonne of his mother, which was a widowe, and much people of the citie was with her.^{Verse 13}And when the Lord sawe her, he had compassion on her, and said vnto her, Weepe not.^{Verse 14}And he went and touched the coffin (and they that bare him, stoode still) and he said, Yong man, I say vnto thee, Arise.^{Verse 15}And he that was dead, sate vp, and began to speake, and he deliuered him to his mother.^{Verse 16}Then there came a feare on them all, and they glorified God, saying, A great Prophet is risen among vs, and God hath visited his people.^{Verse 17}And this rumour of him went foorth throughout all Iudea, and throughout all the region round about.^{Verse 18}And the disciples of Iohn shewed him of all these things.^{Verse 19}So Iohn called vnto him two certaine men of his disciples, and sent them to Iesus, saying, Art thou hee that should come, or shall we waite for another?^{Verse 20}And when the men were come vnto him, they said, Iohn Baptist hath sent vs vnto thee, saying, Art thou hee that should come, or shall we waite for another?^{Verse 21}And at that time, he cured many of their sickenesses, and plagues, and of euill spirites, and vnto many blinde men he gaue sight freely.^{Verse 22}And Iesus answered, and saide vnto them, Goe your wayes and shewe Iohn, what things ye haue seene and heard: that the blinde see, the halt goe, the lepers are cleansed, the deafe heare, the dead are raised, and the poore receiue the Gospel.^{Verse 23}And blessed is hee, that shall not be offended in me.^{Verse 24}And when the messengers of Iohn were departed, hee began to speake vnto the people, of Iohn, What went ye out into the wildernes to see? A reede shaken with the winde?^{Verse 25}But what went ye out to see? A man clothed in soft rayment? beholde, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and liue delicately, are in Kings courtes.^{Verse 26}But what went ye foorth to see? A Prophet? yea, I say to you, and greater then a Prophet.^{Verse 27}This is he of whom it is written, Beholde, I sende my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.^{Verse 28}For I say vnto you, there is no greater Prophet then Iohn, among them that are begotten of women: neuerthelesse, hee that is the least in the kingdome of God, is greater then he.^{Verse 29}Then all the people that heard, and the Publicanes iustified God, being baptized with the baptisme of Iohn.^{Verse 30}But the Pharises and the expounders of the Law despised the counsell of God against themselues, and were not baptized of him.^{Verse 31}And the Lord saide, Whereunto shall I liken the men of this generation? and what thing are they like vnto?^{Verse 32}They are like vnto litle children sitting in the market place, and crying one to another, and saying, We haue piped vnto you, and ye haue not daunced: we haue mourned to you, and ye haue not wept.^{Verse 33}For Iohn Baptist came, neither eating bread, nor drinking wine: and ye say, He hath the deuil.^{Verse 34}The Sonne of man is come, and eateth and drinketh: and ye say, Beholde, a man which is a glutton, and a drinker of wine, a friend of Publicanes and sinners:^{Verse 35}But wisdome is iustified of all her children.^{Verse 36}And one of the Pharises desired him that hee would eate with him: and hee went into the Pharises house, and sate downe at table.^{Verse 37}And beholde, a woman in the citie, which was a sinner, when she knewe that Iesus sate at table in the Pharises house, shee brought a boxe of oyntment.^{Verse 38}And shee stoode at his feete behinde him weeping, and began to wash his feete with teares, and did wipe them with the heares of her head, and kissed his feete, and anoynted them with the oyntment.^{Verse 39}Nowe when the Pharise which bade him, saw it, he spake within himselfe, saying, If this man were a Prophet, hee woulde surely haue knowen who, and what maner of woman this is which toucheth him: for she is a sinner.^{Verse 40}And Iesus answered, and saide vnto him, Simon, I haue somewhat to say vnto thee. And he said, Master, say on.^{Verse 41}There was a certaine lender which had two detters: the one ought fiue hundreth pence, and the other fiftie:^{Verse 42}When they had nothing to pay, he forgaue them both: Which of them therefore, tell mee, will loue him most?^{Verse 43}Simon answered, and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgaue most. And he said vnto him, Thou hast truely iudged.^{Verse 44}Then he turned to the woman, and said vnto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entred into thine house, and thou gauest mee no water to my feete: but she hath washed my feete with teares, and wiped them with the heares of her head.^{Verse 45}Thou gauest me no kisse: but she, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kisse my feete.^{Verse 46}Mine head with oyle thou didest not anoint: but she hath anoynted my feete with oyntment.^{Verse 47}Wherefore I say vnto thee, many sinnes are forgiuen her: for she loued much. To whom a litle is forgiuen, he doeth loue a litle.^{Verse 48}And he saide vnto her, Thy sinnes are forgiuen thee.^{Verse 49}And they that sate at table with him, began to say within themselues, Who is this that euen forgiueth sinnes?^{Verse 50}And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saued thee: goe in peace.
