1 After he had come to the end of all his words in the hearing of the people, he went into Capernaum.
2 And a certain captain had a servant who was very dear to him; this servant was ill and near to death.
3 And when news of Jesus came to his ears, he sent to him rulers of the Jews, requesting that he would come and make his servant well.
4 And they, when they came to Jesus, made their request warmly, saying,
5 It is right for you to do this for him, because he is a friend to our nation, and himself has put up a Synagogue for us.
6 And Jesus went with them. And when he was not far from the house, the man sent friends to him, saying, Lord, do not give yourself trouble: for I am not important enough for you to come into my house:
7 And I had the feeling that I was not even good enough to come to you: but say the word only, and my servant will be well.
8 For I, myself, am a man under authority, having men under me; and I say to this one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my servant, Do this, and he does it.
9 And when these things were said to Jesus, he was surprised, and, turning to the mass of people coming after him, said, I have not seen such great faith, no, not in Israel.
10 And when those who were sent came back to the house they saw that the servant was well.
11 And it came about, after a little time, that he went to a town named Nain; and his disciples went with him, and a great number of people.
12 Now when he came near the door of the town, a dead man was being taken out, the only son of his mother, who was a widow: and a great number of people from the town were with her.
13 And when the Lord saw her, he had pity on her and said to her, Be not sad.
14 And he came near, and put his hand on the stretcher where the dead man was: and those who were moving it came to a stop. And he said, Young man, I say to you, Get up.
15 And the dead man got up, and words came from his lips. And he gave him to his mother.
16 And fear came on all, and they gave praise to God, saying, A great prophet is among us: and, God has given thought to his people.
17 And this story about him went through all Judaea and the places round about.
18 And the disciples of John gave him an account of all these things.
19 Then John sent two of his disciples to the Lord, saying, Are you he who is to come, or are we waiting for another?
20 And when the men came to him they said, John the Baptist has sent us to you, saying, Are you he who is to come, or are we waiting for another?
21 At that time, he made a number of people free from their diseases and their pains, and from evil spirits; and to others who were blind he gave back the use of their eyes.
22 And answering them he said, Go back and give news to John of what you have seen, and the things which have come to your ears; the blind now see, those who had no power in their legs are walking, lepers are made clean, those who had no hearing now have their ears open, dead men come to life again, and the poor have the good news given to them.
23 And a blessing will be on him who has no doubts about me.
24 And when the men who were sent by John had gone away, he said to the people, about John, What did you go out into the waste land to see? a tall stem moving in the wind?
25 But what did you go out to see? a man in soft clothing? See now, those who have beautiful clothing and delicate food are in kings' houses.
26 But what did you go out to see? a prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet.
27 This is he of whom it has been said, See, I send my servant before your face, who will make ready your way before you.
28 I say to you, Among all the sons of women, not one is greater than John: but he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
29 (And all the people, and the tax-farmers, to whom John had given baptism, when they had knowledge of these things, gave glory to God.
30 But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law were against the purpose of God for themselves, not having had his baptism.)
31 What comparison am I to make of the men of this generation? what are they like?
32 They are like children who are seated in the market-place, crying out to one another, and saying, We made music for you, but you did not take part in the dance; we gave cries of sorrow, but you were not sad.
33 For John the Baptist came, taking no food or drink, and you say, He has an evil spirit.
34 The Son of man came feasting, and you say, Here is a lover of food and wine, a friend of tax-farmers and sinners.
35 But wisdom is judged to be right by all her children.
36 And one of the Pharisees made a request that he would take a meal with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house and took his seat at the table.
37 And there was a woman in the town who was a sinner; and when she had news that he was a guest in the Pharisee's house, she took a bottle of perfume,
38 And went in and took her place at the back of him, near his feet, weeping, so that his feet were washed with the drops from her eyes, and with her hair she made them dry, and kissing his feet she put the perfume on them.
39 Now when the Pharisee in whose house he was saw it, he said to himself, This man, if he was a prophet, would be conscious what sort of woman this is who has put her hands on him, that she is a sinner.
40 And Jesus, answering, said, Simon, I have something to say to you. And he said, Master, say on.
41 And he said, Two men were in debt to a certain man of business: one had a debt of five hundred pence, and the other of fifty.
42 When they were unable to make payment, he made the two of them free of their debts. Which of them, now, will have the greater love for him?
43 Simon, in answer, said, It seems he whose debt was greater. And he said, Your decision is right.
44 And turning to the woman he said to Simon, You see this woman? I came into your house; you did not give me water for my feet: but she has been washing my feet with the drops from her eyes, and drying them with her hair.
45 You did not give me a kiss: but she, from the time when I came in, has gone on kissing my feet.
46 You put no oil on my head: but she has put perfume on my feet.
47 And so I say to you, She will have forgiveness for her sins which are great in number, because of her great love: but he who has small need of forgiveness gives little love.
48 And he said to her, You have forgiveness for your sins.
49 And those who were seated at table with him said to themselves, Who is this who even gives forgiveness of sins?
50 And he said to the woman, By your faith you have salvation; go in peace.
1 A když vykonal všecka slova svá při přítomnosti lidu, všel do Kafarnaum.
2 Setníka pak jednoho služebník nemocen jsa, k smrti se přibližoval, kteréhož on sobě mnoho vážil.
3 I uslyšav o Ježíšovi, poslal k němu starší z Židů, prose ho, aby přišel a uzdravil služebníka jeho.
4 A oni přišedše k Ježíšovi, prosili ho snažně, řkouce: Hoden jest, abys jemu to učinil.
5 Nebo miluje národ náš, a školu on nám vystavěl.
6 Tedy Ježíš šel s nimi. A když již nedaleko byl od domu, poslal k němu setník přátely, řka jemu: Pane, nepřidávej sobě práce. (Nejsem zajisté hoden, abys všel pod střechu mou.
7 A protožť jsem i sebe samého za nehodného položil, abych přišel k tobě.) Ale rci slovem, a budeť uzdraven služebník můj.
8 Nebo i já jsem člověk pod mocí postavený, maje pod sebou žoldnéře, a dím tomuto: Jdi, a jde, a jinému: Přijď, a přijde, a služebníku svému: Učiň toto, a učiní.
9 Tedy uslyšav to Ježíš, podivil se jemu, a obrátiv se k zástupu, kterýž za ním šel, řekl: Pravím vám, že ani v Izraeli nenalezl jsem tak veliké víry.
10 Vrátivše se pak do domu ti, kteříž posláni byli, nalezli služebníka, kterýž nemocen byl, zdravého.
11 I stalo se potom, šel Ježíš do města, kteréž slove Naim, a šli s ním učedlníci jeho mnozí a zástup veliký.
12 A když se přiblížil k bráně města, aj, mrtvý byl nesen ven, syn jediný matky své, a ta vdova byla, a zástup města mnohý s ní.
13 Kteroužto uzřev Pán, milosrdenstvím hnut jsa nad ní, řekl jí: Neplačiž.
14 A přistoupiv, dotekl se már. (Ti pak, kteříž nesli, zastavili se.) I řekl: Mládenče, toběť pravím, vstaň.
15 I pozdvih se mrtvý, sedl, a počal mluviti. I dal jej mateři jeho.
16 Tedy podjala všecky bázeň, i velebili Boha, řkouce: Že prorok veliký povstal mezi námi, a že Bůh navštívil lid svůj.
17 I vyšla řeč ta o něm po všem Judstvu i po vší okolní krajině.
18 I zvěstovali Janovi učedlníci jeho o všech těchto věcech. A zavolav kterýchs dvou z učedlníků svých Jan,
19 Poslal k Ježíšovi, řka: Ty-li jsi ten, kterýž přijíti má, čili jiného čekati máme?
20 Přišedše pak k němu muži ti, řekli: Jan Křtitel poslal nás k tobě, řka: Ty-li jsi ten, kterýž přijíti má, čili jiného čekati máme?
21 A v touž hodinu mnohé uzdravil od neduhů, od nemocí a duchů zlých, a slepým mnohým zrak dal.
22 Odpověděv pak Ježíš, řekl jim: Jdouce, povězte Janovi, co jste viděli a slyšeli, že slepí vidí, kulhaví chodí, malomocní očištění přijímají, hluší slyší, mrtví z mrtvých vstávají, chudým se zvěstuje evangelium.
23 A blahoslavený jest, kdož by se na mně nezhoršil.
24 A když odešli poslové Janovi, počal praviti k zástupům o Janovi: Co jste vyšli na poušť spatřovati? Třtinu-li, kteráž se větrem klátí?
25 Anebo nač jste hleděti vyšli? Na člověka-li měkkým rouchem oděného? Aj, kteříž v rouše slavném a v rozkoši jsou, v domích královských jsou.
26 Aneb co jste vyšli viděti? Proroka-li? Ovšem pravím vám, i více nežli proroka.
27 Tentoť jest, o kterémž jest psáno: Aj, já posílám anděla svého před tváří tvou, jenž připraví cestu tvou před tebou.
28 Nebo pravím vám, většího proroka mezi syny ženskými nad Jana Křtitele není žádného, ale kdož jest menší v království Božím, většíť jest nežli on.
29 Tedy všecken lid slyše to i publikáni, velebili Boha, byvše pokřtěni křtem Janovým.
30 Ale farizeové a zákoníci pohrdli radou Boží sami proti sobě, nebyvše pokřtěni od něho.
31 I řekl Pán: Komu tedy přirovnám lidi pokolení tohoto a čemu podobni jsou?
32 Podobni jsou dětem, jenž na rynku sedí a jedni na druhé volají, říkajíce: Pískali jsme vám, a neskákali jste; žalostně jsme naříkali vám, a neplakali jste.
33 Nebo přišel Jan Křtitel, nejeda chleba, ani pije vína, a pravíte: Ďábelství má.
34 Přišel Syn člověka, jeda a pije, a pravíte: Aj, člověk žráč a pijan vína, přítel publikánů a hříšníků.
35 Ale ospravedlněna jest moudrost ode všech synů svých.
36 Prosil ho pak jeden z farizeů, aby jedl s ním. Pročež všed do domu toho farizea, posadil se za stůl.
37 A aj, žena jedna v městě, kteráž byla hříšnice, zvěděvši, že by seděl za stolem v domě farizea, přinesla nádobu alabastrovou masti.
38 A stojeci zzadu u noh jeho, s pláčem počala slzami smáčeti nohy jeho, a vlasy hlavy své vytírala, a líbala nohy jeho, a mastí mazala.
39 Uzřev pak to farizeus, kterýž ho byl pozval, řekl sám v sobě: Byť tento byl prorok, vědělť by, která a jaká jest to žena, kteráž se ho dotýká; nebo hříšnice jest.
40 I odpověděv Ježíš, dí k němu: Šimone, mámť něco povědíti. A on řekl: Mistře, pověz.
41 I řekl Ježíš: Dva dlužníky měl jeden věřitel. Jeden dlužen byl pět set peněz, a druhý padesát.
42 A když neměli, odkud by zaplatili, odpustil oběma. Pověziž tedy, který z nich více jej bude milovati?
43 I odpověděv Šimon, řekl: Mám za to, že ten, kterémuž více odpustil. A on řekl jemu: Právě jsi rozsoudil.
44 A obrátiv se k ženě, řekl Šimonovi: Vidíš tuto ženu? Všel jsem do domu tvého, vody nohám mým nepodal jsi, ale tato slzami smáčela nohy mé, a vlasy hlavy své vytřela.
45 Nepolíbil jsi mne, ale tato, jakž jsem všel, nepřestala líbati noh mých.
46 Olejem hlavy mé nepomazal jsi, ale tato mastí mazala nohy mé.
47 Protož pravím tobě: Odpuštěniť jsou jí hříchové mnozí, neboť jest milovala mnoho. Komuť se pak málo odpouští, málo miluje.
48 I řekl k ní: Odpuštěniť jsou tobě hříchové.
49 Tedy počali, kteříž tu spolu seděli za stolem, říci sami mezi sebou: Kdo jest tento, kterýž i hříchy odpouští?
50 I řekl k ženě: Víra tvá tebe k spasení přivedla. Jdiž u pokoji.
