  Luke Chapter 7 When he had completed all his discourse and
• 0:03
  the hearing of the people, he went to Capernaum, and a
• 0:06
  centurion slave, who was highly regarded by him, was sick and
• 0:09
  about to die. When he heard about Jesus, he
• 0:12
  sent some Jewish elders asking him to come and save the life of
• 0:15
  his slave. When they came to Jesus, they
• 0:18
  earnestly implored him, saying, He is worthy for you to grant
• 0:21
  this to him, for he loves our nation.
• 0:23
  And it was he who built us our synagogue.
• 0:26
  Now Jesus started on his way with them.
• 0:28
  When he was not far from the house, the centurion sent
• 0:30
  friends saying to him, Lord, do not trouble yourself further,
• 0:34
  for I am not worthy for you to come under my roof.
• 0:37
  For this reason I did not even consider myself worthy to come
• 0:39
  to you. But just say the word, and my
• 0:42
  servant will be healed. For I also am a man placed under
• 0:45
  authority, with soldiers under me.
• 0:48
  And I say to this one, Go, And he goes, and to another come,
• 0:51
  and he comes, and to my slave, do this, and he does it.
• 0:55
  Now when Jesus heard this, he marvelled at him and turned and
• 0:58
  said to the crowd that was following him.
• 1:00
  I say to you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith.
• 1:05
  When those who had been sent returned to the house, they
• 1:07
  found the slave in good health. Soon afterwards he went to a
• 1:10
  city called Nain, and his disciples were going along with
• 1:13
  him, accompanied by a large crowd.
• 1:16
  Now as he approached the gate of the city, a dead man was being
• 1:19
  carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow, and
• 1:23
  a sizable crowd from the city was with her.
• 1:25
  When the Lord saw her, he felt compassion for her and said to
• 1:28
  her, Do not weep. And he came up and touched the
• 1:31
  coffin, and the bearers came to a halt, and he said, Young man,
• 1:35
  I say to you, arise. The dead man sat up and began to
• 1:40
  speak, and Jesus gave him back to his mother.
• 1:43
  Fear gripped them all and they began glorifying God, saying, A
• 1:47
  great prophet has arisen among us and God has visited his
• 1:50
  people. This report concerning him went
• 1:53
  all over Judea and in all the surrounding district.
• 1:57
  The disciples of John reported to him about all these things.
• 2:00
  Summoning 2 of his disciples, John sent them to the Lord
• 2:03
  saying, are you the expected one or do we look for someone else?
• 2:08
  When the men came to him, they said, John the Baptist has sent
• 2:11
  us to you to ask are you the expected one or do we look for
• 2:15
  someone else? At that very time he cured many
• 2:18
  people of diseases and afflictions and evil spirits,
• 2:21
  and he gave sight to many who were blind.
• 2:23
  And he answered and said to them, Go and report to John what
• 2:26
  you have seen and heard. The blind received sight, the
• 2:30
  lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear.
• 2:33
  The dead are raised up. The poor have the gospel
• 2:36
  preached to them. Blessed is he who does not take
• 2:39
  offence at me. When the messengers of John had
• 2:42
  left, he began to speak to the crowds about John.
• 2:45
  What did you go out into the wilderness to see?
• 2:47
  A Reed shaken by the wind. But what did you go out to see?
• 2:51
  A man dressed in soft clothing. Those who are splendidly clothed
• 2:56
  and live in luxury are found in royal palaces.
• 2:58
  But what did you go out to see? A prophet.
• 3:02
  Yes, I say to you. And one who is more than a
• 3:04
  prophet. This is the one about whom it is
• 3:06
  written. Behold, I send my messenger
• 3:08
  ahead of you, who will prepare your way before you.
• 3:12
  I say to you, Among those born of women there is no one greater
• 3:14
  than John. Yet he who is least in the
• 3:17
  Kingdom of God is greater than he.
• 3:19
  When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, they
• 3:22
  acknowledged God's justice, having been baptized with the
• 3:25
  baptism of John. But the Pharisees and the
• 3:28
  lawyers rejected God's purpose for themselves, not having been
• 3:32
  baptized by John. To what then shall I compare the
• 3:35
  men of this generation, and what are they like?
• 3:38
  They are like children who sit in the marketplace and call to
• 3:41
  one another. And they say, We played the
• 3:44
  flute for you, and you did not dance.
• 3:46
  We sang a dirge, and you did not weep.
• 3:49
  For John the Baptist has come eating no bread and drinking no
• 3:52
  wine, and you say he has a demon.
• 3:55
  The Son of Man has come eating and drinking.
• 3:57
  And you say, Behold, A gluttonous man and a drunkard, a
• 4:00
  friend of tax collectors and sinners.
• 4:03
  Yet wisdom is vindicated by all her children.
• 4:06
  Now one of the Pharisees was requesting him to dine with him,
• 4:09
  and he entered the Pharisee's house and reclined at the table.
• 4:12
  And there was a woman in the city who was a Sinner.
• 4:15
  And when she learned that he was reclining at the table in the
• 4:17
  Pharisee's house, she brought an alabaster vial of perfume.
• 4:21
  And standing behind him at his feet, weeping, she began to wet
• 4:24
  his feet with her tears and kept wiping them with the hair of her
• 4:27
  head and kissing his feet and anointing them with the perfume.
• 4:31
  Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to
• 4:35
  himself, If this man were a prophet, he would know who and
• 4:38
  what sort of person this woman is who is touching him, that she
• 4:41
  is a Sinner. And Jesus answered him, Simon, I
• 4:45
  have something to say to you. And he replied, say it, teacher,
• 4:50
  a money lender had two debtors, 1 owed 500 denarii and the other
• 4:54
  50. When they were unable to repay,
• 4:56
  he graciously forgave them both. So which of them will love him
• 4:59
  more? Simon answered and said, I
• 5:02
  suppose the one whom he forgave more.
• 5:05
  And he said to him, You have judged correctly.
• 5:07
  Turning toward the woman, he said to Simon, do you see this
• 5:10
  woman? I entered your house.
• 5:12
  You gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet
• 5:15
  with her tears and wiped them with her hair.
• 5:18
  You gave me no kiss, but she, since the time I came in, has
• 5:21
  not ceased to kiss my feet. You did not anoint my head with
• 5:25
  oil, but she anointed my feet with perfume.
• 5:28
  For this reason I say to you, her sins, which are many, have
• 5:32
  been forgiven, for she loved much, but he who has forgiven
• 5:35
  little loves little. Then he said to her, Your sins
• 5:40
  have been forgiven. Those who were reclining at the
• 5:42
  table with him began to say to themselves, who is this man who
• 5:46
  even forgives sins? And he said to the woman, Your
• 5:49
  faith has saved you. Go in peace.
