Luke 7:19-50

19SummoningG4341 1twoG1417 of his disciplesG3101, JohnG2491 sentG3992 them to 2the LordG2962, sayingG3004, “Are You the 3ExpectedG2064 One, orG2228 do we lookG4328 for someoneG243 elseG243?” 20When the menG435 cameG3854 to Him, they saidG3004, “JohnG2491 the BaptistG910 has sentG649 us to You, to askG3004, ‘Are You the 4ExpectedG2064 One, orG2228 do we lookG4328 for someoneG243 elseG243?’” 21At that 5very timeG5610 He 6curedG2323 manyG4183 people of diseasesG3554 and 7afflictionsG3148 and evilG4190 spiritsG4151; and He gaveG5483 sightG991 to manyG4183 who were blindG5185. 22And He answeredG611 and saidG3004 to them, “GoG4198 and reportG518 to JohnG2491 whatG3739 you have seenG3708 and heardG191: the 8blindG5185 receiveG308 sightG308, the lameG5560 walkG4043, the lepersG3015 are cleansedG2511, and the deafG2974 hearG191, the deadG3498 are raisedG1453 up, the 9poorG4434 have the gospelG2097 preachedG2097 to them. 23BlessedG3107 is he 10whoG3739 does not takeG4624 offense at Me.”

24When the messengersG32 of JohnG2491 had leftG565, He beganG757 to speakG3004 to the crowdsG3793 aboutG4012 JohnG2491, “WhatG5101 did you goG1831 out into the wildernessG2048 to seeG2300? A reedG2563 shakenG4531 by the windG417? 2511But whatG5101 did you goG1831 out to seeG3708? A manG444 dressedG294 in softG3120 12clothingG2440? ThoseG3588 who are splendidlyG1741 clothedG2441 and liveG5225 in luxuryG5172 are found in royalG933 palacesG933! 26But whatG5101 did you goG1831 out to seeG3708? A prophetG4396? YesG3483, I sayG3004 to you, and one who is moreG4053 than a prophetG4396. 27ThisG3778 is the one aboutG4012 whomG3739 it is writtenG1125, ‘13BeholdG2400, I sendG649 My messengerG32 14aheadG4253 of You, WhoG3739 will prepareG2680 Your wayG3598 beforeG1715 You.’ 28I sayG3004 to you, amongG1722 those bornG1084 of womenG1135 there is noG3762 oneG3762 greaterG3173 than JohnG2491; yetG1161 he who is 15leastG3398 in the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 is greaterG3173 than he.” 29When allG3956 the peopleG2992 and the taxG5057 collectorsG5057 heardG191 this, they 16acknowledgedG1344 17God’sG2316 justiceG1344, 18having been baptizedG907 with 19the baptismG908 of JohnG2491. 30But the PhariseesG5330 and the 2021lawyersG3544 rejectedG114 God’sG2316 purposeG1012 for themselvesG1438, not having been baptizedG907 by 22John.

31“To whatG5101 thenG3767 shall I compareG3666 the menG444 of thisG3778 generationG1074, and whatG5101 are they likeG3664? 32They are likeG3664 childrenG3813 who sitG2521 in the marketG58 placeG58 and callG4377 to oneG240 anotherG240, and they sayG3004, ‘We playedG832 the fluteG832 for you, and you did not danceG3738; we sangG2354 a dirgeG2354, and you did not weepG2799.’ 33For JohnG2491 the BaptistG910 has comeG2064 23eatingG2068 noG3361 breadG740 and drinkingG4095 noG3383 wineG3631, and you sayG3004, ‘He hasG2192 a demonG1140!’ 34The SonG5207 of ManG444 has comeG2064 eatingG2068 and drinkingG4095, and you sayG3004, ‘BeholdG2400, a gluttonousG5314 manG444 and a 24drunkardG3630, a friendG5384 of taxG5057 collectorsG5057 and 25sinnersG268!’ 35YetG2532 wisdomG4678 26is vindicatedG1344 by allG3956 her childrenG5043.”

36NowG1161 oneG5100 of the PhariseesG5330 was requestingG2065 Him to 27dineG2068 with him, and He enteredG1525 the Pharisee’sG5330 houseG3624 and reclinedG2625 at the table. 3728And there was a womanG1135 in the cityG4172 whoG3748 was a 29sinnerG268; and when she learnedG1921 that He was recliningG2621 at the table in the Pharisee’sG5330 houseG3614, she broughtG2865 an alabasterG211 vialG211 of perfumeG3464, 38and standingG2476 behindG3694 Him at His feetG4228, weepingG2799, she beganG757 to wetG1026 His feetG4228 with her tearsG1144, and kept wipingG1591 them with the hairG2359 of her headG2776, and kissingG2705 His feetG4228 and anointingG218 them with the perfumeG3464. 39NowG1161 when the PhariseeG5330 who had invitedG2564 Him sawG3708 this, he saidG3004 to himselfG1438, “IfG1487 thisG3778 manG3778 were 30a prophetG4396 He would knowG1097 whoG5101 and whatG4217 sortG4217 of personG4217 thisG3588 womanG1135 is whoG3748 is touchingG681 Him, that she is a 31sinnerG268.” 40And JesusG2424 answeredG611 him, “SimonG4613, I haveG2192 somethingG5100 to sayG3004 to you.” And he 32repliedG5346, “SayG3004 it, TeacherG1320.” 41“A moneylenderG1157 hadG1510 twoG1417 debtorsG5533: oneG1520 owedG3784 fiveG4001 hundredG4001 3334denariiG1220, and the otherG2087 fiftyG4004. 42When they 35were unableG3361G2192 to repayG591, he graciouslyG5483 forgaveG5483 them bothG297. SoG3767 whichG5101 of them will loveG25 him moreG4183?” 43SimonG4613 answeredG611 and saidG3004, “I supposeG5274 the one whomG3739 he forgaveG5483 moreG4183.” And He saidG3004 to him, “You have judgedG2919 correctlyG3723.” 44TurningG4762 towardG4314 the womanG1135, He saidG5346 to SimonG4613, “Do you seeG991 thisG3778 womanG1135? I enteredG1525 your houseG3614; you 36gaveG1325 Me noG3756 waterG5204 for My feetG4228, but she has wetG1026 My feetG4228 with her tearsG1144 and wipedG1591 them with her hairG2359. 45You 37gaveG1325 Me noG3756 kissG5370; but she, sinceG575 the time I cameG1525 in, has not ceasedG1257 to kissG2705 My feetG4228. 4638You did not anointG218 My headG2776 with oilG1637, but she anointedG218 My feetG4228 with perfumeG3464. 47For thisG3739 reasonG5484 I sayG3004 to you, her sinsG266, which are manyG4183, have been forgivenG863, for she lovedG25 muchG4183; but he whoG3739 is forgivenG863 littleG3641, lovesG25 littleG3641.” 48ThenG2532 He saidG3004 to her, “39Your sinsG266 have been forgivenG863.” 49ThoseG3588 who were recliningG4873 at the table with Him beganG757 to sayG3004 40to themselvesG1438, “41WhoG5101 is thisG3778 man whoG3739 evenG2532 forgivesG863 sinsG266?” 50And He saidG3004 to the womanG1135, “42Your faithG4102 has savedG4982 you; 43goG4198 in peaceG1515.”
