1 After he had finished speaking in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum. 2 A certain centurion’s servant, who was dear to him, was sick and at the point of death. 3 When he heard about Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, asking him to come and save his servant. 4 When they came to Jesus, they begged him earnestly, saying, "He is worthy for you to do this for him, 5 for he loves our nation, and he built our synagogue for us." 6 Jesus went with them. When he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, "Lord, don’t trouble yourself, for I am not worthy for you to come under my roof. 7 Therefore I didn’t even think myself worthy to come to you; but say the word, and my servant will be healed. 8 For I also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it."
9 When Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turned and said to the multitude who followed him, "I tell you, I have not found such great faith, no, not in Israel." 10 Those who were sent, returning to the house, found that the servant who had been sick was well.
11 Soon afterwards, he went to a city called Nain. Many of his disciples, along with a great multitude, went with him. 12 Now when he came near to the gate of the city, behold, one who was dead was carried out, the only born son of his mother, and she was a widow. Many people of the city were with her. 13 When the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her and said to her, "Don’t cry." 14 He came near and touched the coffin, and the bearers stood still. He said, "Young man, I tell you, arise!" 15 He who was dead sat up and began to speak. Then he gave him to his mother.
16 Fear took hold of all, and they glorified God, saying, "A great prophet has arisen among us!" and, "God has visited his people!" 17 This report went out concerning him in the whole of Judea and in all the surrounding region.
18 The disciples of John told him about all these things. 19 John, calling to himself two of his disciples, sent them to Jesus, saying, "Are you the one who is coming, or should we look for another?" 20 When the men had come to him, they said, "John the Baptizer has sent us to you, saying, ‘Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?’"
21 In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and to many who were blind he gave sight. 22 Jesus answered them, "Go and tell John the things which you have seen and heard: that the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them. 23 Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me."
24 When John’s messengers had departed, he began to tell the multitudes about John, "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind? 25 But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft clothing? Behold, those who are gorgeously dressed and live delicately are in kings’ courts. 26 But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet. 27 This is he of whom it is written,
‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face,
who will prepare your way before you.’
28 "For I tell you, among those who are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptizer; yet he who is least in God’s Kingdom is greater than he."
29 When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, they declared God to be just, having been baptized with John’s baptism. 30 But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God, not being baptized by him themselves.
31 "To what then should I compare the people of this generation? What are they like? 32 They are like children who sit in the marketplace and call to one another, saying, ‘We piped to you, and you didn’t dance. We mourned, and you didn’t weep.’ 33 For John the Baptizer came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’ 34 The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Behold, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ 35 Wisdom is justified by all her children."
36 One of the Pharisees invited him to eat with him. He entered into the Pharisee’s house and sat at the table. 37 Behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that he was reclining in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster jar of ointment. 38 Standing behind at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and she wiped them with the hair of her head, kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment. 39 Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he said to himself, "This man, if he were a prophet, would have perceived who and what kind of woman this is who touches him, that she is a sinner."
40 Jesus answered him, "Simon, I have something to tell you."
He said, "Teacher, say on."
41 "A certain lender had two debtors. The one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. 42 When they couldn’t pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most?"
43 Simon answered, "He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most."
He said to him, "You have judged correctly." 44 Turning to the woman, he said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I entered into your house, and you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head. 45 You gave me no kiss, but she, since the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss my feet. 46 You didn’t anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment. 47 Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But one to whom little is forgiven, loves little." 48 He said to her, "Your sins are forgiven."
49 Those who sat at the table with him began to say to themselves, "Who is this who even forgives sins?"
50 He said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you. Go in peace."
1 耶稣向群众讲完这一切话， 就进了迦百农。
2 有百夫长所重用的一个奴仆， 病得快要死了。
3 百夫长听见耶稣的事， 就打发犹太人中几个长老到他那里， 求他去医治他的奴仆。
4 长老们就来见耶稣， 恳切地求他说： "你给他行这事， 是他配得的，
5 因为他爱我们的人民， 给我们建造会堂。"
6 耶稣就和他们同去。离那家不远的时候， 百夫长派几个朋友来说： "主啊， 不必劳驾， 因为你到舍下来， 我实在不敢当，
7 我也觉得没有资格去见你； 只要你说一句话， 我的仆人就必好了。
8 因为我自己是在别人的权下， 也有兵在我以下； 我对这个说： ‘去！ ’他就去； 对另一个说： ‘来！ ’他就来； 对我的仆人说： ‘作这个！ ’他就作。"
9 耶稣听见这些话， 就很惊奇， 转身对跟随的众人说： "我告诉你们， 这样的信心， 我在以色列中从来没有见过。"
10 奉派的人回到家里， 见那奴仆已经好了。
11 后来耶稣往拿因城去， 与他同去的有门徒和一大群人。
12 他走近城门的时候， 有人把一个死人抬出来， 是个独生子， 他母亲又是个寡妇。城里有一大群人陪着她。
13 主看见了， 就怜悯她， 对她说： "不要哭！ "
14 于是上前按着杠子， 抬的人就站住。他说： "青年人， 我吩咐你起来！ "
15 那死人就坐起来， 开口说话， 耶稣就把他交给他母亲。
16 众人都惊惧， 颂赞 神说： "有伟大的先知在我们中间兴起来了！ "又说： " 神眷顾他的子民了！ "
17 于是这话传遍了犹太和周围各地。
18 约翰的门徒把这一切事告诉约翰。他就叫了两个门徒，
19 差他们往主那里去， 说： "你就是那位要来的， 还是我们要等别人呢？"
20 两人来到耶稣跟前， 说： "施洗的约翰差我们来问你： ‘你就是那位要来的， 还是我们要等别人呢？’"
21 就在那时候， 耶稣治好许多患疾病的、遭灾难的、身上有污鬼附着的， 并且施恩给瞎眼的， 使他们看见。
22 耶稣回答他们： "你们回去， 把看见和听见的都告诉约翰， 就是瞎的可以看见， 跛的可以走路， 患痲风的得到洁净， 聋的可以听见， 死人复活， 穷人有福音听。
23 那不被我绊倒的， 就有福了。"
24 约翰差来的人走了以后， 耶稣对群众讲起约翰来， 说： "你们到旷野去， 是要看什么？被风吹动的芦苇吗？
25 你们出去到底要看什么？身穿华丽衣服的人吗？这些衣服华丽， 生活奢侈的人， 是在王宫里的。
26 那么， 你们出去要看什么？先知吗？我告诉你们， 是的。他比先知重要得多了。
27 圣经所记： ‘看哪， 我差遣我的使者在你面前， 他必在你前头预备你的道路’， 这句话是指着他说的。
28 我告诉你们， 妇人所生的， 没有一个比约翰更大， 然而在 神的国里最小的比他还大。"
29 众人和税吏受过约翰的洗礼， 听见这话， 就称 神为义。
30 但法利赛人和律法师， 未受过约翰的洗礼， 就拒绝 神对他们的美意。
31 耶稣又说： "我要把这世代的人比作什么呢？他们好像什么呢？
32 他们好像小孩子坐在巿中心， 彼此呼叫， 说： ‘我们给你们吹笛子， 你们却不跳舞； 我们唱哀歌， 你们也不啼哭。’
33 因为施洗的约翰来了， 不吃饭， 不喝酒， 你们说他是鬼附的。
34 人子来了， 又吃又喝， 你们说： ‘你看， 这人贪食好酒， 与税吏和罪人为友。’
35 但 神的智慧， 借着他的儿女就证实是公义的了。"
36 有一个法利赛人， 请耶稣同他吃饭， 他就到法利赛人家去赴席。
37 那城里有一个女人， 是个罪人， 知道他在法利赛人家里吃饭， 就拿着一瓶香膏，
38 站在耶稣背后， 挨近他的脚哭， 眼泪滴湿他的脚， 又用自己的头发擦干， 不住地吻他的脚， 并且抹上香膏。
39 请他的法利赛人看见了， 心里说： "这人若是先知， 必定知道摸他的是谁， 是怎样的女人， 因为她是个罪人！ "
40 耶稣对他说： "西门， 我有句话要对你说。"他说： "老师， 请说。"
41 耶稣说： "一个债主有两个债户， 一个欠五百银币， 一个欠五十。
42 他们都无力偿还， 债主就把两人豁免了。他们之中哪一个更爱他呢？"
43 西门回答： "我想是那个多得恩免的。"耶稣说： "你判断对了。"
44 于是转身向着那女人， 对西门说： "你看见这女人吗？我进了你的家， 你没有给我水洗脚， 但这女人用眼泪湿了我的脚， 用头发擦干。
45 你没有和我亲嘴； 但这女人， 自从我进来， 就不住地亲我的脚。
46 你没有用油抹我的头； 但这女人用香膏抹我的脚。
47 所以我告诉你， 她许多罪都蒙赦免了， 因为她的爱多； 那赦免少的， 爱就少。"
48 耶稣就对她说： "你的罪赦免了。"
49 跟他一起吃饭的人心里说： "这是谁， 竟然赦罪呢？"
50 耶稣对那女人说： "你的信救了你， 平安地去吧！ "
