¹And since He had completed all his words in the hearing of the people, He entered into Capernaum.

²Now a certain slave of a centurion, who was valued highly by him, was sick and about to die.

³And when he had heard about Jesus, he sent to Him elders of the Jews, begging Him that He may come and save his slave.

⁴And having come to Jesus, they were begging Him earnestly, saying that he is worthy to whom You will grant this;

⁵for he loves our nation, and the synagogue he himself built for us.

⁶And Jesus was going with them. Then, already when he was not far distant from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to Him: Lord, be not troubled; for I am not worthy that You may come under my roof,

⁷therefore neither counted I myself worthy to come to You. But say a word, and let my servant be healed.

⁸For I myself also am a man appointed under authority, having soldiers under myself. And I say to this one: go, and he goes; and to another: come, and he comes; and to my slave: enact this, and he enacts it.

⁹Then having heard these things, Jesus marveled at him; and when he had turned to the crowd following Him, He said: I say to you, not even in Israel did I find such great trust.

¹⁰And having returned to the house, the ones having been sent found the ailing slave in good health.

¹¹And it came to pass on the next day He went into a town being called Nain, and his many disciples and a great crowd were going with Him.

¹²Then as He drew near to the gate of the town, behold, one having died was being carried out, the only begotten son of his mother, and she was a widow; and a considerable crowd of the town was with her.

¹³And when the Lord had seen her, He was moved with compassion on her, and He said to her: Weep not.

¹⁴And when he had come up, He touched the bier; then those bearing it stopped; and He said: Young man, to you I say, be raised.

¹⁵And the dead man sat up and began to speak; and He gave him to his mother.

¹⁶Then fear seized all, and they were glorifying God, saying that a great prophet was raised up among us! and that God has visited his people!

¹⁷And this report went out in all Judea concerning Him, and in all the surrounding region.

¹⁸And his disciples brought word to John concerning all these things. And John, having called near two certain of his disciples,

¹⁹sent them to the Lord, saying: Are You yourself the coming One, or are we to look for another?

²⁰Then having come to Him, the men said: John the Baptist has sent us to you, saying: Are You yourself the coming One, or are we to look for another?

²¹Now at that very hour He healed many of diseases and afflictions and evil spirits, and to many blind He granted to see.

²²And answering, Jesus said to them: Having gone, relate to John what you have seen and heard: that blind receive sight, lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and deaf hear, dead are raised, poor have good news proclaimed to them,

²³and blessed is who might not be offended in Me.

²⁴Then when the messengers of John were departing, He began to speak to the crowds concerning John: What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

²⁵But what have you gone out to see? A man arrayed in fine clothing? Behold, those in splendid clothing and living in luxury are in the palaces.

²⁶But what have you gone out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you; and one more excellent than a prophet.

²⁷This is he concerning whom it has been written: Behold, I myself send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before You.’

²⁸For I say to you; among those born of women no one is a greater prophet than John. Yet the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.

²⁹And all the people having heard, even the tax collectors, declared God as righteous, having been immersed with the immersion of John.

³⁰But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God as to themselves, not having been immersed by him.

³¹Now the Lord said: To what therefore will I liken the men of this generation, and to what are they like?

³²They are like little children sitting in the marketplace and calling to one another, and says: We piped to you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge to you, and you did not weep.

³³For John the Baptist has come neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say: He has a demon.

³⁴The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say: Behold, a man a glutton and a drunkard, a dear one of tax collectors and of sinners.

³⁵And the wisdom was justified by all her children.

³⁶Now one of the Pharisees was asking Him that He may eat with him; and when he had entered into the house of the Pharisee, He was sat.

³⁷And behold, a woman who was in the city a sinner. And she, having known that He reclines back in the house of the Pharisee, having taken an alabaster flask of fragrant oil,

³⁸and when she had stood behind at his feet weeping with the tears, she began to wet his feet, and with the hairs of her head she was wiping them, and was kissing his feet, and was anointing them with the fragrant oil.

³⁹Now when the Pharisee, the one who had invited Him, had seen this, he spoke within himself, saying: This, if He was the prophet, then he would have known who and what the woman is who touches Him, that she is a sinner.

⁴⁰And Jesus answered and said to him: Simon, I have something to say to you. And he says: Teacher, say it.

⁴¹There were two debtors to a certain creditor. The one was owing five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.

⁴²Now nothing were they having to pay, he forgave both. Which of them therefore will love him more, tell.

⁴³Now Simon answered and said: I take it that he to whom he forgave the most. And He said to him: You have judged rightly.

⁴⁴And when he had turned to the woman, He was saying to Simon: See you this woman? I entered into your house, water for my feet you gave not to Me; however she wet My feet with the tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head.

⁴⁵A kiss you gave not to Me; however she herself, from which time I came in, has not ceased kissing My feet.

⁴⁶With oil you did not anoint my head; however she herself anointed my feet with fragrant oil.

⁴⁷Because of this I say to you, her many sins have been forgiven, for she loved much; however to whom little is forgiven, he loves little.

⁴⁸Then He said to her: Your sins have been forgiven.

⁴⁹And those reclining began to say within themselves: Who is this who even forgives sins?

⁵⁰Then He said to the woman: Your trust has saved you; go in wholeness.
