7:1  And when he had completed all his words in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
7:2  And a certain centurion's bondman who was dear to him was ill and about to die;
7:3  and having heard of Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, begging him that he might come and save his bondman.
7:4  But they, being come to Jesus, besought him diligently, saying, He is worthy to whom thou shouldest grant this,
7:5  for he loves our nation, and himself has built the synagogue for us.
7:6  And Jesus went with them. But already, when he was not far from the house, the centurion sent to him friends, saying to him, Lord, do not trouble thyself, for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof.
7:7  Wherefore neither did I count myself worthy to come to thee. But say by a word and my servant shall be healed.
7:8  For I also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers, and I say to this one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my bondman, Do this, and he does it.
7:9  And Jesus hearing this wondered at him, and turning to the crowd following him said, I say to you, Not even in Israel have I found so great faith.
7:10  And they who had been sent returning to the house found the bondman, who was ill, in good health.
7:11  And it came to pass afterwards he went into a city called Nain, and many of his disciples and a great crowd went with him.
7:12  And as he drew near to the gate of the city, behold, a dead man was carried out, the only son of his mother, and she a widow, and a very considerable crowd of the city was with her.
7:13  And the Lord, seeing her, was moved with compassion for her, and said to her, Weep not;
7:14  and coming up he touched the bier, and the bearers stopped. And he said, Youth, I say to thee, Wake up.
7:15  And the dead sat up and began to speak; and he gave him to his mother.
7:16  And fear seized on all, and they glorified God, saying, A great prophet has been raised up amongst us; and God has visited his people.
7:17  And this report went out in all Judaea concerning him, and in all the surrounding country.
7:18  And the disciples of John brought him word concerning all these things:
7:19  and John, having called two of his disciples, sent to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that is coming, or are we to wait for another?
7:20  But the men having come to him said, John the baptist has sent us to thee, saying, Art thou he that is coming, or are we to wait for another?
7:21  In that hour he healed many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits, and to many blind he granted sight.
7:22  And Jesus answering said to them, Go, bring back word to John of what ye have seen and heard: that blind see, lame walk, lepers are cleansed, deaf hear, dead are raised, poor are evangelized;
7:23  and blessed is whosoever shall not be offended in me.
7:24  And the messengers of John having departed, he began to speak to the crowds concerning John: What went ye out into the wilderness to behold? a reed shaken by the wind?
7:25  But what went ye out to see? a man clothed in delicate garments? Behold, those who are in splendid clothing and live luxuriously are in the courts of kings.
7:26  But what went ye out to see? a prophet? Yea, I say to you, and what is more excellent than a prophet.
7:27  This is he concerning whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee;
7:28  for I say unto you, Among them that are born of women a greater prophet is no one than John the baptist; but he who is a little one in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
7:29  (And all the people who heard it, and the tax-gatherers, justified God, having been baptised with the baptism of John;
7:30  but the Pharisees and the lawyers rendered null as to themselves the counsel of God, not having been baptised by him.)
7:31  To whom therefore shall I liken the men of this generation, and to whom are they like?
7:32  They are like children sitting in the market-place, and calling one to another and saying, We have piped to you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.
7:33  For John the baptist has come neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and ye say, He has a demon.
7:34  The Son of man has come eating and drinking, and ye say, Behold an eater and wine-drinker, a friend of tax-gatherers and sinners;
7:35  and wisdom has been justified of all her children.
7:36  But one of the Pharisees begged him that he would eat with him. And entering into the house of the Pharisee he took his place at table;
7:37  and behold, a woman in the city, who was a sinner, and knew that he was sitting at meat in the house of the Pharisee, having taken an alabaster box of myrrh,
7:38  and standing at his feet behind him weeping, began to wash his feet with tears; and she wiped them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the myrrh.
7:39  And the Pharisee who had invited him, seeing it, spoke with himself saying, This person if he were a prophet would have known who and what the woman is who touches him, for she is a sinner.
7:40  And Jesus answering said to him, Simon, I have somewhat to say to thee. And he says, Teacher, say it.
7:41  There were two debtors of a certain creditor: one owed five hundred denarii and the other fifty;
7:42  but as they had nothing to pay, he forgave both of them their debt: say, which of them therefore will love him most?
7:43  And Simon answering said, I suppose he to whom he forgave the most. And he said to him, Thou hast rightly judged.
7:44  And turning to the woman he said to Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house; thou gavest me not water on my feet, but she has washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with her hair.
7:45  Thou gavest me not a kiss, but she from the time I came in has not ceased kissing my feet.
7:46  My head with oil thou didst not anoint, but she has anointed my feet with myrrh.
7:47  For which cause I say to thee, Her many sins are forgiven; for she loved much; but he to whom little is forgiven loves little.
7:48  And he said to her, Thy sins are forgiven.
7:49  And they that were with them at table began to say within themselves, Who is this who forgives also sins?
7:50  And he said to the woman, Thy faith has saved thee; go in peace.
