Luke - Chapter 7 | King James Version (KJV)

  • 1. Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
  • 2. And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die.
  • 3. And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant.
  • 4. And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:
  • 5. For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.
  • 6. Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof:
  • 7. Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.
  • 8. For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth {cf15I it}.
  • 9. When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
  • 10. And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole that had been sick.
  • 11. And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much people.
  • 12. Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.
  • 13. And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.
  • 14. And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare {cf15I him} stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.
  • 15. And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother.
  • 16. And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited his people.
  • 17. And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judaea, and throughout all the region round about.
  • 18. And the disciples of John shewed him of all these things.
  • 19. And John calling {cf15I unto him} two of his disciples sent {cf15I them} to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?
  • 20. When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?
  • 21. And in that same hour he cured many of {cf15I their} infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many {cf15I that were} blind he gave sight.
  • 22. Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached.
  • 23. And blessed is {cf15I he}, whosoever shall not be offended in me.
  • 24. And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak unto the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
  • 25. But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings' courts.
  • 26. But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.
  • 27. This is {cf15I he}, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
  • 28. For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
  • 29. And all the people that heard {cf15I him}, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.
  • 30. But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him.
  • 31. And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?
  • 32. They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.
  • 33. For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil.
  • 34. The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!
  • 35. But wisdom is justified of all her children.
  • 36. And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat.
  • 37. And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that {cf15I Jesus} sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,
  • 38. And stood at his feet behind {cf15I him} weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe {cf15I them} with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed {cf15I them} with the ointment.
  • 39. Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw {cf15I it}, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman {cf15I this is} that toucheth him: for she is a sinner.
  • 40. And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.
  • 41. There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.
  • 42. And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?
  • 43. Simon answered and said, I suppose that {cf15I he}, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.
  • 44. And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped {cf15I them} with the hairs of her head.
  • 45. Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet.
  • 46. My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment.
  • 47. Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, {cf15I the same} loveth little.
  • 48. And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.
  • 49. And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?
  • 50. And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
