7Luke 7

1Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum.Select Luke 7:1

2And a certain centurion’s servant, who was dear to him, was sick, and ready to die.Select Luke 7:2

3And when he heard of Jesus, he sent to him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant.Select Luke 7:3

4And when they came to Jesus, they sought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:Select Luke 7:4

5For he loves our nation, and he has built us a synagogue.Select Luke 7:5

6Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, Lord, trouble not yourself: for I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof:Select Luke 7:6

7Why neither thought I myself worthy to come to you: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.Select Luke 7:7

8For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say to one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my servant, Do this, and he does it.Select Luke 7:8

9When Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turned him about, and said to the people that followed him, I say to you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.Select Luke 7:9

10And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole that had been sick. ¶Select Luke 7:10

11And 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.Select Luke 7:11

12Now when he came near 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.Select Luke 7:12

13And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said to her, Weep not.Select Luke 7:13

14And he came and touched the bier: and they that bore him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say to you, Arise.Select Luke 7:14

15And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother.Select Luke 7:15

16And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God has visited his people.Select Luke 7:16

17And this rumor of him went forth throughout all Judaea, and throughout all the region round about.Select Luke 7:17

18And the disciples of John showed him of all these things. ¶Select Luke 7:18

19And John calling to him two of his disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, Are you he that should come? or look we for another?Select Luke 7:19

20When the men were come to him, they said, John Baptist has sent us to you, saying, Are you he that should come? or look we for another?Select Luke 7:20

21And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and to many that were blind he gave sight.Select Luke 7:21

22Then Jesus answering said to them, Go your way, and tell John what things you have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached.Select Luke 7:22

23And blessed is he, whoever shall not be offended in me. ¶Select Luke 7:23

24And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak to the people concerning John, What went you out into the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind?Select Luke 7:24

25But what went you out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they which are gorgeously appareled, and live delicately, are in kings’ courts.Select Luke 7:25

26But what went you out for to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and much more than a prophet.Select Luke 7:26

27This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before your face, which shall prepare your way before you.Select Luke 7:27

28For I say to you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.Select Luke 7:28

29And all the people that heard him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.Select Luke 7:29

30But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him. ¶Select Luke 7:30

31And the Lord said, To what then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?Select Luke 7:31

32They are like to children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped to you, and you have not danced; we have mourned to you, and you have not wept.Select Luke 7:32

33For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and you say, He has a devil.Select Luke 7:33

34The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and you say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a drunkard, a friend of publicans and sinners!Select Luke 7:34

35But wisdom is justified of all her children. ¶Select Luke 7:35

36And 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.Select Luke 7:36

37And, 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,Select Luke 7:37

38And 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.Select Luke 7:38

39Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spoke within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that touches him: for she is a sinner.Select Luke 7:39

40And Jesus answering said to him, Simon, I have somewhat to say to you. And he says, Master, say on.Select Luke 7:40

41There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.Select Luke 7:41

42And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?Select Luke 7:42

43Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said to him, You have rightly judged.Select Luke 7:43

44And he turned to the woman, and said to Simon, See you this woman? I entered into your house, you gave me no water for my feet: but she has washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.Select Luke 7:44

45You gave me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in has not ceased to kiss my feet.Select Luke 7:45

46My head with oil you did not anoint: but this woman has anointed my feet with ointment.Select Luke 7:46

47Why I say to you, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little.Select Luke 7:47

48And he said to her, Your sins are forgiven.Select Luke 7:48

49And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgives sins also?Select Luke 7:49

50And he said to the woman, Your faith has saved you; go in peace.Select Luke 7:50
