Luke 7
Revised Literal Translation
1NowG1161 whenG1893 he had endedG4137 allG3956 hisG846 sayingsG3588G4487 inG1519 the audienceG3588G189 of the peopleG3588G2992, he enteredG1525 intoG1519 CapernaumG2584. 2AndG1161 a certainG5100 centurion’sG1543 servantG1401, whoG3739 wasG1510 dearG1784 unto himG846, wasG2192 sickG2560, and readyG3195 to dieG5053. 3AndG1161 when he heardG191 ofG4012 JesusG3588G2424, he sentG649 untoG4314 himG846 the eldersG4245 of the JewsG2453, beseechingG2065 himG846 thatG3704 he would comeG2064 and healG1295 hisG846 servantG3588G1401. 4AndG1161 when they cameG3854 toG4314 JesusG3588G2424, they besoughtG3870 himG846 instantlyG4709, sayingG3004, ThatG3754 he wasG1510 worthyG514 for whomG3739 he should doG3930 thisG3778: 5ForG1063 he lovethG25 ourG1473 nationG3588G1484, andG2532 heG846 hath builtG3618 usG1473 a synagogueG3588G4864. 6ThenG1161 JesusG2424 wentG4198 withG4862 themG846. AndG1161 when heG846 wasG568 nowG2235 notG3756 farG3112 fromG575 the houseG3588G3614, the centurionG3588G1543 sentG3992 friendsG5384 toG4314 himG846, sayingG3004 unto himG846, LordG2962, troubleG4660 notG3361 thyselfG4660: forG1063 I amG1510 notG3756 worthyG2425 thatG2443 thou shouldest enterG1525 underG5259 myG1473 roofG3588G4721: 7WhereforeG1352 neitherG3761 thought IG515 myselfG1683 worthyG515 to comeG2064 untoG4314 theeG4771: butG235 sayG3004 in a wordG3056, andG2532 myG1473 servantG3588G3816 shall be healedG2390. 8ForG1063 IG1473 alsoG2532 amG1510 a manG444 setG5021 underG5259 authorityG1849, havingG2192 underG5259 meG1683 soldiersG4757, andG2532 I sayG3004 unto oneG3778, GoG4198, andG2532 he goethG4198; andG2532 to anotherG243, ComeG2064, andG2532 he comethG2064; andG2532 to myG1473 servantG3588G1401, DoG4160 thisG3778, andG2532 he doethG4160 it. 9WhenG1161 JesusG3588G2424 heardG191 these thingsG3778, he marvelledG2296 at himG846, andG2532 turned him aboutG4762, and saidG3004 unto the peopleG3793 that followedG190 himG846, I sayG3004 unto youG4771, I haveG2147 notG3761 foundG2147 so greatG5118 faithG4102, no, notG3761 inG1722 IsraelG2474. 10AndG2532 they that were sentG3992, returningG5290 toG1519 the houseG3588G3624, foundG2147 the servantG1401 wholeG5198 that had been sickG770. 11
AndG2532 it came to passG1096 the day afterG1836, that he wentG4198 intoG1519 a cityG4172 calledG2564 NainG3484; andG2532 manyG2425 of hisG846 disciplesG3588G3101 went withG4848 himG846, andG2532 muchG4183 peopleG3793. 12NowG1161 whenG5613 he came nighG1448 to the gateG3588G4439 of the cityG3588G4172, beholdG3708, there wasG1580 a dead manG2348 carried outG1580, the onlyG3439 sonG5207 of hisG846 motherG3588G3384, andG2532 sheG3778 wasG1510 a widowG5503: andG2532 muchG2425 peopleG3793 of the cityG3588G4172 wasG1510 withG4862 herG846. 13AndG2532 whenG3708 the LordG3588G2962 sawG3708 herG846, he had compassionG4697 onG1909 herG846, andG2532 saidG3004 unto herG846, WeepG2799 notG3361. 14AndG2532 he cameG4334 and touchedG680 the bierG3588G4673: andG1161 they that bareG941 him stood stillG2476. AndG2532 he saidG3004, Young manG3495, I sayG3004 unto theeG4771, AriseG1453. 15AndG2532 he that was deadG3498 sat upG339, andG2532 beganG756 to speakG2980. AndG2532 he deliveredG1325 himG846 to hisG846 motherG3588G3384. 16AndG1161 there cameG2983 a fearG5401 on allG537: andG2532 they glorifiedG1392 GodG3588G2316, sayingG3004, ThatG3754 a greatG3173 prophetG4396 is risen upG1453 amongG1722 usG1473; andG2532, ThatG3754 GodG3588G2316 hath visitedG1980 hisG846 peopleG3588G2992. 17AndG2532 thisG3778 rumourG3588G3056 ofG4012 himG846 went forthG1831 throughoutG1722 allG3650 JudæaG3588G2449, andG2532 throughoutG1722 allG3956 the region round aboutG4066. 18AndG2532 the disciplesG3588G3101 of JohnG2491 shewedG518 himG846 ofG4012 allG3956 these thingsG3778. 19
AndG2532 JohnG3588G2491 callingG4341 unto him twoG1417 of hisG846 disciplesG3588G3101 sentG3992 them toG4314 JesusG3588G2424, sayingG3004, ArtG1510 thouG4771 he that should comeG2064? orG2228 look weG4328 for anotherG243? 20WhenG1161 the menG3588G435 were comeG3854 untoG4314 himG846, they saidG3004, JohnG2491 the BaptistG3588G910 hath sentG649 usG1473 untoG4314 theeG4771, sayingG3004, ArtG1510 thouG4771 he that should comeG3588G2064? orG2228 look weG4328 for anotherG243? 21AndG1161 inG1722 thatG3588 sameG846 hourG5610 he curedG2323 manyG4183 ofG575 their infirmitiesG3554 andG2532 plaguesG3148, andG2532 of evilG4190 spiritsG4151; andG2532 unto manyG4183 that were blindG5185 he gaveG5483 sightG991. 22ThenG2532 JesusG3588G2424 answeringG611 saidG3004 unto themG846, Go your wayG4198, and tellG518 JohnG2491 what thingsG3739 ye have seenG3708 andG2532 heardG191; how thatG3754 the blindG5185 seeG308, the lameG5560 walkG4043, the lepersG3015 are cleansedG2511, the deafG2974 hearG191, the deadG3498 are raisedG1453, to the poorG4434 the gospel is preachedG2097. 23AndG2532 blessedG3107 isG1510 he, whosoeverG3739 shallG4624 notG3361 be offendedG4624 inG1722 meG1473. 24
And whenG1161 the messengersG3588G32 of JohnG2491 were departedG565, he beganG756 to speakG3004 untoG4314 the peopleG3588G3793 concerningG4012 JohnG2491, WhatG5101 went ye outG1831 intoG1519 the wildernessG2048 for to seeG2300? A reedG2563 shakenG4531 withG5259 the windG417? 25ButG235 whatG5101 went ye outG1831 for to seeG3708? A manG444 clothedG294 inG1722 softG3120 raimentG2440? BeholdG3708, they whichG3588 areG1722 gorgeouslyG1741 apparelledG2441, andG2532 liveG5225 delicatelyG5172, areG1510 inG1722 kings’ courtsG3588G934. 26ButG235 whatG5101 went ye outG1831 for to seeG3708? A prophetG4396? YeaG3483, I sayG3004 unto youG4771, andG2532 much more thanG4053 a prophetG4396. 27ThisG3778 isG1510 he, ofG4012 whomG3739 it is writtenG1125, BeholdG3708, IG1473 sendG649 myG1473 messengerG3588G32 beforeG4253 thyG4771 faceG4383, whichG3739 shall prepareG2680 thyG4771 wayG3588G3598 beforeG1715 theeG4771. 28ForG1063 I sayG3004 unto youG4771, AmongG1722 those that are bornG1084 of womenG1135 there isG1510 notG3762 a greaterG3173 prophetG4396 thanG3173 JohnG2491 the BaptistG3588G910: butG1161 he that is leastG3398 inG1722 the kingdomG3588G932 of GodG3588G2316 isG1510 greater thanG3173 heG846. 29AndG2532 allG3956 the peopleG3588G2992 that heardG191 him, andG2532 the publicansG3588G5057, justifiedG1344 GodG3588G2316, being baptizedG907 with the baptismG3588G908 of JohnG2491. 30ButG1161 the PhariseesG5330 andG2532 lawyersG3544 rejectedG114 the counselG3588G1012 of GodG3588G2316 againstG1519 themselvesG1438, beingG907 notG3361 baptizedG907 ofG5259 himG846.
31AndG1161 the LordG3588G2962 saidG3004, WhereuntoG5101 thenG3767 shall I likenG3666 the menG3588G444 of thisG3778 generationG3588G1074? andG2532 to whatG5101 are theyG1510 likeG3664? 32They areG1510 likeG3664 unto childrenG3813 sittingG2521 inG1722 the marketplaceG58, andG2532 callingG4377 one to anotherG240, andG2532 sayingG3004, We have pipedG832 unto youG4771, andG2532 ye haveG3738 notG3756 dancedG3738; we have mournedG2354 to youG4771, andG2532 ye haveG2799 notG3756 weptG2799. 33ForG1063 JohnG2491 the BaptistG3588G910 cameG2064 neitherG3383 eatingG2068 breadG740 norG3383 drinkingG4095 wineG3631; andG2532 ye sayG3004, He hathG2192 a devilG1140. 34The SonG3588G5207 of manG3588G444 is comeG2064 eatingG2068 andG2532 drinkingG4095; andG2532 ye sayG3004, BeholdG3708 a gluttonousG5314 manG444, andG2532 a winebibberG3630, a friendG5384 of publicansG5057 andG2532 sinnersG268! 35ButG2532 wisdomG3588G4678 is justifiedG1344 ofG575 allG3956 herG846 childrenG3588G5043.
36AndG1161 oneG5100 of the PhariseesG3588G5330 desiredG2065 himG846 thatG2443 he would eatG5315 withG3326 himG846. AndG2532 he wentG1525 intoG1519 the Pharisee’sG3588G5330 houseG3588G3614, and sat down to meatG347. 37AndG2532, beholdG3708, a womanG1135 inG1722 the cityG3588G4172, whichG3748 wasG1510 a sinnerG268, when she knewG1921 thatG3754 Jesus sat at meatG345 inG1722 the Pharisee’sG3588G5330 houseG3588G3614, broughtG2865 an alabaster boxG211 of ointmentG3464, 38AndG2532 stoodG2476 atG3844 hisG846 feetG3588G4228 behindG3694 him weepingG2799, and beganG756 to washG1026 hisG846 feetG3588G4228 with tearsG3588G1144, andG2532 did wipeG1591 them with the hairsG3588G2359 of herG846 headG3588G2776, andG2532 kissedG2705 hisG846 feetG3588G4228, andG2532 anointedG218 them with the ointmentG3588G3464. 39NowG1161 whenG3708 the PhariseeG3588G5330 whichG3588 had biddenG2564 himG846 sawG3708 it, he spakeG3004 withinG1722 himselfG1438, sayingG3004, This manG3778, ifG1487 he wereG1510 a prophetG4396, would have knownG1097 whoG5101 andG2532 what mannerG4217 of womanG3588G1135 this is thatG3748 touchethG680 himG846: forG3754 she isG1510 a sinnerG268. 40AndG2532 JesusG3588G2424 answeringG611 saidG3004 untoG4314 himG846, SimonG4613, I haveG2192 somewhatG5100 to sayG3004 unto theeG4771. AndG1161 he saithG5346, MasterG1320, say onG3004. 41There wasG1510 a certainG5100 creditorG1157 which hadG1510 twoG1417 debtorsG5533: the oneG1520 owedG3784 five hundredG4001 penceG1220, andG1161 the otherG2087 fiftyG4004. 42AndG1161 whenG2192 theyG846 hadG2192 nothingG3361 to payG591, he frankly forgaveG5483 them bothG297. Tell meG3004 thereforeG3767, whichG5101 of themG846 will loveG25 himG846 mostG4119? 43SimonG3588G4613 answeredG611 andG1161 saidG3004, I supposeG5274 thatG3754 he, to whomG3739 he forgaveG5483 mostG4119. AndG1161 he saidG3004 unto himG846, Thou hastG2919 rightlyG3723 judgedG2919. 44AndG2532 he turnedG4762 toG4314 the womanG3588G1135, and saidG5346 unto SimonG3588G4613, Seest thouG991 thisG3778 womanG3588G1135? I enteredG1525 intoG1519 thineG4771 houseG3588G3614, thou gavest meG1325 noG3756 waterG5204 forG1909 myG1473 feetG3588G4228: butG1161 sheG3778 hath washedG1026 myG1473 feetG3588G4228 with tearsG3588G1144, andG2532 wipedG1591 them with the hairsG3588G2359 of herG846 headG3588G2776. 45Thou gavestG1325 meG1473 noG3756 kissG5370: butG1161 this womanG3778 sinceG575 the timeG3739 I came inG1525 hathG1257 notG3756 ceasedG1257 to kissG2705 myG1473 feetG3588G4228. 46MyG1473 headG3588G2776 with oilG1637 thou didstG218 notG3756 anointG218: butG1161 this womanG3778 hath anointedG218 myG1473 feetG3588G4228 with ointmentG3464. 47WhereforeG5484 I sayG3004 unto theeG4771, HerG846 sinsG3588G266, whichG3588 are manyG4183, are forgivenG863; forG3754 she lovedG25 muchG4183: butG1161 to whomG3739 littleG3641 is forgivenG863, the same lovethG25 littleG3641. 48AndG1161 he saidG3004 unto herG846, ThyG4771 sinsG3588G266 are forgivenG863. 49AndG2532 theyG756 thatG3588 sat at meat with himG4873 beganG756 to sayG3004 withinG1722 themselvesG1438, WhoG5101 isG1510 thisG3778 thatG3739 forgivethG863 sinsG266 alsoG2532? 50AndG1161 he saidG3004 toG4314 the womanG3588G1135, ThyG4771 faithG3588G4102 hath savedG4982 theeG4771; goG4198 inG1519 peaceG1515.
