1 After he had ended all his sayings in the ears G189 of the people λαοῦ, laou G2992 , he entered εἰσῆλθεν eisēlthen G1525 into Capernaum Καφαρναούμ. Kapharnaoum G2584 . 2 And a certain τινος tinos G5100 centurion’s ἑκατοντάρχου hekatontarchou G1543 servant δοῦλος doulos G1401 , who was G1510 dear unto him , was G1510 sick κακῶς kakōs G2560 and at the point of death. 4 And they , when they came παραγενόμενοι paragenomenoi G3854 to Jesus Ἰησοῦν Iēsoun G2424 , besought him earnestly σπουδαίως spoudaiōs G4709 , saying λέγοντες legontes G3004 , He is G1510 worthy ἄξιός axios G514 that thou shouldest do this for him ; 5 for he loveth our nation ἔθνος ethnos G1484 , and himself built G3618 us our synagogue συναγωγὴν sunagōgēn G4864 . 7 wherefore neither thought I myself worthy ἠξίωσα ēxiōsa G515 to come ἐλθεῖν. elthein G2064 unto thee: but say G3004 the word λόγῳ, logō G3056 , and my servant παῖς pais G3816 shall be healed ἰαθήτω iathētō G2390 . 8 For I also G2532 am G1510 a man ἄνθρωπός anthrōpos G444 set under authority ἐξουσίαν exousian G1849 , having under myself soldiers στρατιώτας. stratiōtas G4757 : and I say λέγω legō G3004 to this one G3778 , Go G4198 , and he goeth; and to another , Come G2064 , and he cometh; and to my servant δούλῳ doulō G1401 , Do this , and he doeth it . 9 And when Jesus Ἰησοῦς Iēsous G2424 heard G191 these things ταῦτα tauta G3778 , he marvelled at him , and turned στραφεὶς strapheis G4762 and said λέγω legō G3004 unto the multitude G3793 that followed ἀκολουθοῦντι akolouthounti G190 him , I say G3004 unto you , I have not found εὗρον. heuron G2147 so great τοσαύτην tosautēn G5118 faith πίστιν pistin G4102 , no , not in Israel Ἰσραὴλ Israēl G2474 . 10 And they that were sent G3992 , returning ὑποστρέψαντες hupostrepsantes G5290 to the house οἶκον oikon G3624 , found G2147 the servant δοῦλον doulon G1401 whole. 13 And when the Lord κύριος kurios G2962 saw G3708 her , he had compassion ἐσπλαγχνίσθη esplagchnisthē G4697 on her , and said G3004 unto her , Weep κλαῖε. klaie G2799 not . 20 And when the men G435 were G1510 come G2064 unto him , they said λέγων· legōn G3004 , John Ἰωάννης Iōannēs G2491 the Baptist βαπτιστὴς baptistēs G910 hath sent G649 us unto thee, saying G3004 , Art thou he that cometh, or look προσδοκῶμεν; prosdokōmen G4328 we for another ? 21 In that hour ὥρᾳ hōra G5610 he cured many πολλοὺς pollous G4183 of diseases G3554 and plagues and evil πονηρῶν ponērōn G4190 spirits πνευμάτων pneumatōn G4151 ; and on many πολλοῖς pollois G4183 that were blind τυφλοῖς tuphlois G5185 he bestowed sight . 23 And blessed is G1510 he , whosoever shall find no occasion of stumbling G4624 in me . 24 And when the messengers ἀγγέλων angelōn G32 of John Ἰωάννου Iōannou G2491 were departed Ἀπελθόντων Apelthontōn G565 , he began G757 to say G3004 unto the multitudes G3793 concerning περὶ peri G4012 John Ἰωάννου· Iōannou G2491 , What went ἐξήλθατε exēlthate G1831 ye out into the wilderness ἔρημον erēmon G2048 to behold? a reed κάλαμον kalamon G2563 shaken σαλευόμενον; saleuomenon G4531 with the wind ἀνέμου anemou G417 ? 25 But what went G1831 ye out to see G3708 ? a man ἄνθρωπον anthrōpon G444 clothed in soft raiment? Behold ἰδοὺ idou G2400 , they that are G1510 gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are G1510 in kings’ courts. 26 But what went G1831 ye out to see G3708 ? a prophet προφήτην; prophētēn G4396 ? Yea, I say λέγω legō G3004 unto you , and much more than a prophet προφήτου. prophētou G4396 . 27 This is G1510 he of whom it is G1510 written G1125 , Behold ἰδοὺ idou G2400 , I send ἀποστέλλω apostellō G649 my messenger ἄγγελόν angelon G32 before thy face προσώπου prosōpou G4383 , Who shall prepare κατασκευάσει kataskeuasei G2680 thy way ὁδόν hodon G3598 before thee. 29 And all the people λαὸς laos G2992 when they heard G191 , and the publicans, justified G1344 God θεὸν theon G2316 , being baptized G907 with the baptism βάπτισμα baptisma G908 of John Ἰωάννου. Iōannou G2491 . 30 But the Pharisees Φαρισαῖοι Pharisaioi G5330 and the lawyers νομικοὶ nomikoi G3544 rejected G114 for themselves the counsel βουλὴν boulēn G1012 of God θεοῦ theou G2316 , being not baptized G907 of him . 31 Whereunto then shall I liken the men G444 of this generation γενεᾶς geneas G1074 , and to what are G1510 they like ? 32 They are G1510 like unto children G3813 that sit G2521 in the marketplace, and call one G240 to another ; who say λέγει· legei G3004 , We piped unto you , and ye did not dance ὠρχήσασθε· ōrchēsasthe G3738 ; we wailed, and ye did not weep ἐκλαύσατε. eklausate G2799 . 33 For John Ἰωάννης Iōannēs G2491 the Baptist βαπτιστὴς baptistēs G910 is come ἐλήλυθεν elēluthen G2064 eating ἐσθίων esthiōn G2068 no bread ἄρτον arton G740 nor drinking πίνων pinōn G4095 wine οἶνον, oinon G3631 ; and ye say λέγετε· legete G3004 , He hath a demon δαιμόνιον daimonion G1140 . 34 The Son υἱὸς huios G5207 of man ἀνθρώπου anthrōpou G444 is come ἐλήλυθεν elēluthen G2064 eating ἐσθίων esthiōn G2068 and drinking πίνων, pinōn G4095 ; and ye say λέγετε· legete G3004 , Behold ἰδοὺ idou G2400 , a gluttonous man ἄνθρωπος anthrōpos G444 , and a winebibber, a friend φίλος philos G5384 of publicans and sinners ἁμαρτωλῶν. hamartōlōn G268 ! 36 And one τις tis G5100 of the Pharisees G5330 desired him that he would eat G2068 with him . And he entered εἰσελθὼν eiselthōn G1525 into the Pharisee’s house οἶκον oikon G3624 , and sat down to meat . 37 And behold ἰδοὺ idou G2400 , a woman γυνὴ gunē G1135 who was G1510 in the city πόλει polei G4172 , a sinner ἁμαρτωλός. hamartōlos G268 ; and when she knew G1921 that he was G1510 sitting at meat in the Pharisee’s house οἰκίᾳ oikia G3614 , she brought an alabaster ἀλάβαστρον alabastron G211 cruse of ointment , 38 and standing G2476 behind at his feet G4228 , weeping κλαίουσα klaiousa G2799 , she began G757 to wet βρέχειν brechein G1026 his feet G4228 with her tears δάκρυσιν dakrusin G1144 , and wiped them with the hair θριξὶν thrixin G2359 of her head κεφαλῆς kephalēs G2776 , and kissed his feet G4228 , and anointed ἤλειφεν ēleiphen G218 them with the ointment . 39 Now δὲ de G1161 when the Pharisee Φαρισαῖος Pharisaios G5330 that had bidden him saw G3708 it , he spake within himself , saying λέγων· legōn G3004 , This man G3778 , if he were G1510 a prophet προφήτης, prophētēs G4396 , would have perceived who and what manner of woman γυνὴ gunē G1135 this is G1510 that toucheth him , that she is G1510 a sinner ἁμαρτωλός hamartōlos G268 . 40 And Jesus Ἰησοῦς Iēsous G2424 answering ἀποκριθεὶς apokritheis G611 said G3004 unto him , Simon Σίμων, Simōn G4613 , I have somewhat to say G3004 unto thee. And he saith, Teacher διδάσκαλε didaskale G1320 , say G3004 on . 42 When they had not wherewith to pay ἀποδοῦναι apodounai G591 , he forgave ἐχαρίσατο. echarisato G5483 them both . Which of them therefore οὖν oun G3767 will love ἀγαπήσει agapēsei G25 him most ? 43 Simon Σίμων Simōn G4613 answered ἀποκριθεὶς apokritheis G611 and said G3004 , He , I suppose , to whom he forgave ἐχαρίσατο. echarisato G5483 the most . And he said G3004 unto him , Thou hast rightly ὀρθῶς orthōs G3723 judged G2919 . 44 And turning στραφεὶς strapheis G4762 to the woman γυναῖκα gunaika G1135 , he said ἔφη· ephē G5346 unto Simon Σίμωνι Simōni G4613 , Seest thou this woman γυναῖκα; gunaika G1135 ? I entered εἰσῆλθόν eisēlthon G1525 into thy house οἰκίαν, oikian G3614 , thou gavest me no water ὕδωρ hudōr G5204 for my feet G4228 : but she hath wetted my feet G4228 with her tears δάκρυσιν dakrusin G1144 , and wiped them with her hair θριξὶν thrixin G2359 . 46 My head κεφαλήν kephalēn G2776 with oil ἐλαίῳ elaiō G1637 thou didst not anoint ἤλειψας· ēleipsas G218 : but she hath anointed ἤλειψεν ēleipsen G218 my feet G4228 with ointment . 47 Wherefore I say λέγω legō G3004 unto thee, Her sins ἁμαρτίαι hamartiai G266 , which are many πολλαί, pollai G4183 , are forgiven ἀφέωνται apheōntai G863 ; for she loved G25 much πολύ· polu G4183 : but to whom little ὀλίγον oligon G3641 is forgiven ἀφίεται, aphietai G863 , the same G846 loveth little ὀλίγον oligon G3641 . 48 And he said G3004 unto her , Thy sins ἁμαρτίαι. hamartiai G266 are forgiven ἀφέωνταί apheōntai G863 . 49 And they that sat at meat with him began G757 to say λέγειν legein G3004 within themselves , Who is G1510 this that even G2532 forgiveth sins ἁμαρτίας hamartias G266 ? ← Luke 6 Luke 8 → American Standard Version — 1901 — Public Domain
