The centurion's servant -- Widow's son raised -- Christ's testimony ofJohn -- Jesus anointed by the woman -- He commendeth the act.

¹⁾Now when he had ended all histhese 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., Andand 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 athe 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 marvelledmarveled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people thatwho followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.

¹⁰⁾And they thatwho were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole thatwho 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 muchmany people of the city waswere with her.

¹³⁾And whennow the Lord saw her, heand had compassion on her, and he said unto her, Weep not.

¹⁴⁾And he came and touched the bier:; and they thatwho bare himit stood still., Andand he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.

¹⁵⁾And he thatwho was dead, sat up, and began to speak.; Andand 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 rumourrumor of him went forth throughout all JudaeaJudea, and throughout all the region round about.

¹⁸⁾And the disciples of John shewedshowed 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 thatwho should come?, or look we for another?

²¹⁾And in thatthe 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, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and to the poor the gospel is preached.;

²³⁾And blessed isare he,they whosoeverwho shall not be offended in me.

²⁴⁾And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak unto the people concerning John,; What went ye out into the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind? 25)But whatOr went ye out for to see? Aa man clothed in soft raiment?

²⁵⁾Behold, they whichwho are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings'king's courts.

²⁶⁾But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.

²⁷⁾This is he,the one of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, whichwho shall prepare thy way before thee.

²⁸⁾For I say unto you, Among those thatwho are born of womenWomen, there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist:; but he thatwho is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.

²⁹⁾And all the people thatwho 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, not being not baptized of him.

³¹⁾And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? andAnd to what are they like?

³²⁾They are like unto children sitting in the marketplacemarket-place, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped untofor you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned tofor you, and ye have not wept.

³³⁾For John the Baptist came neither eating bread, nor drinking wine; and ye say, Hehe hath a devil.

³⁴⁾The Son of manMan is come, eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber,wine-bibber; a friend of publicans and sinners!

³⁵⁾But wisdom is justified of all her children.

³⁶⁾And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee'sPharisees's house, and sat down to meat.

³⁷⁾And, behold, a woman in the city, whichwho 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 whichwho had bidden him saw itthis, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who, andor what manner of woman this is thatwho toucheth him:; for she is a sinner.

⁴⁰⁾And Jesus answering, said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saithsaid, Master, say on.

⁴¹⁾And Jesus said, There was a certain creditor, whichwho had two debtors:; the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.

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

⁴³⁾Simon answered and said, I suppose thatthe he,man to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.

⁴⁴⁾And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thinethy house, thou gavest me no water for my feet:; but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.

⁴⁵⁾Thou gavest me no kiss:; but this woman since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss my feet.

⁴⁶⁾My head with oil thou didst not anoint:; but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment.

⁴⁷⁾Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much:. butBut to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.

⁴⁸⁾And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.

⁴⁹⁾And they thatwho sat at meat with him, began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?

⁵⁰⁾And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
