2 And a certain servant of a centurion who was highly valued to him, being sick (kakos-bad), was about to die. 3 And having heard about Jesus, he sent elders of the Jews to Him, begging Him that having come, He might thoroughly save his servant. 4 And having arrived to Jesus, they entreated Him earnestly (with haste, earnestly, speedily), saying, He is worthy to whom He will provide this; 5 For he loves our ethnicity (nation), and he built the synagogue for us. 6 And Jesus went with them; and already, when He being not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying to Him, Lord, do not trouble Yourself, for I am not worthy (fit), so that You should come under my roof; 7 Therefore neither did I count myself worthy to come to You; but say by a word and my servant shall be healed (iatheto). 8 For I also am a man appointed under authority, having soldiers under me; and I say to this one, Go and he goes; and to another one, Come, and he comes; and to my servant, Do this and he does it. 9 And having heard these things, Jesus marveled at him; and having turned to the crowd following Him, He said, I say to you, Not even in Israel did I find so much faith. 10 And those having been sent having returned unto the house, found the servant being in good health.
11 And it happened on the next day, He went into a town called Nain, and His disciples and a great crowd went with Him. 12 And as He drew near to the gate of the town, and 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. 13 And the Lord having seen her, was moved with compassion (moved in the inner parts) upon her and said to her, Weep not. 14 And having come up, He touched the coffin; and those bearing it stopped. And He said, Young man, I say to you, Arise! 15 And the dead man sat up and began to speak and He gave him to his mother. 16 And fear took all and they glorified God, saying, A great prophet has risen up among us! And God has looked upon (visited upon) His people! 17 And this word (report) went out in all Judea and all the surrounding region concerning Him. And John, having called to him, two certain disciples of him, sent them to the Lord, saying, Are You the coming One? Or are we to look for another?
18 And the disciples of John brought him word concerning all these things. 19 And John, having called to him, two certain disciples of him, sent them to the Lord, saying, Are You the coming One? Or are we to look for another? 20 And having come to Him, the men said, John the Baptist has sent us to You, saying, Are You the coming One? Or are we to look for another? 21 In that there hour, He healed many from diseases, and painful afflictions (like a scourge that is debilitating and highly painful), and evil spirits, and to many blind He freely gave (graced) to see. 22 And answering, He said to them, Go, take word to John of what you have seen and heard: blind receive sight, lame walk, lepers are cleansed; and deaf hear, dead are raised, poor are evangelized. 23 And blessed is he who shall not be offended (stumbled) in Me.
24 And the messengers of John having departed, He began to speak to the crowds concerning John: What have you gone out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind? 25 But what have you gone out to see? A man arrayed in fine (soft, delicate) clothing? Behold, those in splendid clothing and living in luxury are in the palaces. 26 But what have you gone out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and one greater (more abundant) than a prophet.
27 This is he concerning whom it has been written, Behold, I send My messenger before your face, who will prepare the Your way before You.
28 I say to you, No one is greater among those born of women than John; yet the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he. 29 And all the people and the tax collectors having heard, declared God just, having been baptized with the baptism of John; 30 However the Pharisees and the lawyers rendered null as to themselves the counsel (resolved plan) of God, not having been baptized by him.
31 To what therefore will I liken the men of this generation? And to what are they like? 32 They are like little children sitting in the marketplace and calling one to another, saying, We played the flute to you, and you did not dance; we lamented and you did not weep. 33 For John the Baptist has come, neither eating bread nor drinking (pinon) wine (oinon), and you say, He has a demon. 34 The Son of Man has come, eating and drinking (pinon), and you say, Behold, a man, a glutton and a wine-drinker (latin-bibens vinum- drinking wine, different word is used in the NT for drunkard), a friend of tax collectors and of sinners; 35 And wisdom was justified from all her children.
36 And one of the Pharisees asked Him, so that He should eat with him, and having entered in the house of the Pharisee, He reclined at the table; 37 And behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner. And she having known that He had reclined at the table in the house of the Pharisee, having taken an alabaster flask of ointment (ointment made of olive oil and other spices), 38 And having stood behind Him beside His feet weeping, she began to wet His feet with her tears, and she was wiping them with the hairs of her head, and was kissing His feet, and was anointing (rubbing/smearing) them with the ointment. 39 And the Pharisee, the one having invited Him, having seen, spoke within himself, saying, If this Man were a prophet, He would have known who and what the woman is who touches Him, because she is a sinner.
40 And answering, Jesus said to him, Simon, I have something to say to you. And he says, Teacher, say it. 41 There were two debtors to a certain creditor; the one owed five hundred denarii; and the other, fifty. 42 They having nothing to pay, he forgave (echarisato, pardoned, showed favor, freely gave, favor that cancels) both. Which of them therefore will love him most? 43 Simon answering, said, I assume that he to whom the most he forgave. And He said to him, You have judged correctly (straightly). 44 And having turned to the woman, He said to Simon, You see this woman? I entered into your house; you gave Me no water upon My feet; however she wet my feet with her tears, and wiped them with her hair. 45 You gave no kiss to Me, and she herself has not ceased kissing My feet from when I came in. 46 You did not anoint My head with oil; however she herself anointed My feet with ointment. 47 This then I say to you, Her many sins have been remitted; because she loved much; however to whom little is remitted, he loves little. 48 And He said to her, Your sins have been remitted. 49 And those reclining began to say within themselves, Who is this who even remits sins? 50 And He said to the woman, Your faith has saved you; go in peace.
