RF LUK 7:1 Curing the Captain's Boy.
Then when He had expressed all His ideals in the hearing of the people, He proceeded to Capernaum.
RF LUK 7:2 And a captain there had a boy, who was very precious to him, at the point of death.
RF LUK 7:3 And, having heard about Jesus, he sent to Him leaders of the Jews, requesting Him to come and save his boy.
RF LUK 7:4 And when they approached Jesus, they begged Him earnestly, saying, "He is worthy that You should grant him this;
RF LUK 7:5 for he loves our nation, and has himself built our synagogue."
RF LUK 7:6 Jesus accordingly went with them. And when He had arrived within a short distance of the house, the captain sent friends to Him, saying: 'Master, do not trouble; for I am not of sufficient rank for You to come under a roof of mine:
RF LUK 7:7 therefore I did not consider myself worthy to approach You. But only say a word, and my boy will be cured.
RF LUK 7:8 For I am a man placed under a superior officer, having soldiers under myself; and I order this one to 'Go!' and he goes; to another, 'Come!' and he comes; and to my servant I say, 'Do this,' and he does it."
RF LUK 7:9 When Jesus heard this, He was astonished at it; and, turning round to the crowd who followed Him, He said, "Not even in Israel, I tell you, have I found faith so strong."
RF LUK 7:10 The messengers, returning then to the house, found the boy quite well.
RF LUK 7:11 The Widow's Son Brought Back to Life.
Soon after this, He proceeded to a town called Nain; and His disciples accompanied Him, together with a large crowd.
RF LUK 7:12 Now as He came near to the gate of the town, they were carrying out, dead, an only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and many of the inhabitants of the town were with her.
RF LUK 7:13 When the Master saw her, however, He had pity upon her, and said to her, "Weep not!"
RF LUK 7:14 And stepping forward, He touched the bier: then the carriers stood still; and He said, "Young man, I say to you, Arise!"
RF LUK 7:15 when the dead man sat up, and began to speak. And He handed him to his mother.
RF LUK 7:16 Then fear took possession of all; and they praised God, exclaiming, "A great Prophet is risen among us" and, "God has looked upon His people."
RF LUK 7:17 And this report concerning Him spread throughout the whole of Judea, and all the surrounding country.
RF LUK 7:18 The Deputation from John.
All this was reported to John by his disciples
RF LUK 7:19 John then calling two special disciples, sent them to the Master, inquiring, "Are You the Coming One?—or are we to expect another?"
RF LUK 7:20 And when these men arrived, they said to Him: "John the Baptizer has sent us to You to ask, 'Are You the Coming One?—or are we to expect another?'"
RF LUK 7:21 In that very hour He relieved many from diseases, afflictions, and wicked spirits, as well as granting eyesight to many who were blind.
RF LUK 7:22 He then answered, saying: "You may now return, and report to John what you have seen and heard: the blind receive their eyesight; the lame walk; the lepers are cured; the deaf hear; the dead are raised; the poor have good news told to them.
RF LUK 7:23 And happy is he who shall not be ashamed of Me!"
RF LUK 7:24 Concerning John.
But when the messengers of John had taken their departure, He began to speak to the crowd concerning John: "What did you go out into the desert to gaze at?—a reed dancing under the wind?
RF LUK 7:25 If not, what did you go out to see?—a man dressed in flowing robes? Why, those who have magnificent attire and luxury are in royal palaces.
RF LUK 7:26 But what, then, did you go out to see?—a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.
RF LUK 7:27 For he it is of whom it was written:
NOW I WILL SEND MY MESSENGER BEFORE YOUR FACE,
WHO WILL PREPARE YOUR ROAD BEFORE YOU.1
—————
1. Mal 3.2
RF LUK 7:28 "I therefore tell you that among those born of women a greater prophet than John the Baptizer never existed; yet the least in the Kingdom of God is greater than he."
RF LUK 7:29 And all the people, including the tax-farmers, hearing Him, gave thanks to God; they having been baptized with John's baptism.
RF LUK 7:30 The Pharisees and teachers of the law, however, not having been baptized under him, rejected for themselves the decision of God.
RF LUK 7:31 "To what, therefore," He added, "shall I liken the men of this generation?
RF LUK 7:32 They are like children sitting in a market-place, and shouting out to one another, and saying, 'We piped to you, and you did not dance; we wailed, and you did not weep.'
RF LUK 7:33 For John the Baptizer came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and you say, 'A demon possesses him!'
RF LUK 7:34 The Son of Man is come eating and drinking; and you say, 'Look at Him!—an eater, and a drinker of wine; a friend of tax-collectors and profligates!'
RF LUK 7:35 Wisdom, however, will be justified by all her children."
RF LUK 7:36 The Sinful Woman and the Pharisee.
One of the Pharisees asking Him to dine with him, He entered the house of that Pharisee, and reclined for the meal.
RF LUK 7:37 Then a profligate woman of the town, on learning that He was reclining in the Pharisee's house, came with an alabaster jar of perfume:
RF LUK 7:38 and standing behind, she began to bathe His feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head; while she fervently kissed His feet, and soothed them with the perfume.
RF LUK 7:39 But the Pharisee who had invited Him, on seeing it, said to himself, "If this man were a prophet, He must have perceived who and what kind of a woman it is who touches Him; that, is fact, she is a profligate."
RF LUK 7:40 "Simon," said Jesus to him, "I have something to say to you."
"Say on, Teacher," was his reply.
RF LUK 7:41 "A money lender had two debtors one of whom owed five hundred denarii, 1 and the other fifty.2,
—————
1. About sixty-two pounds.
2. About six pounds
RF LUK 7:42 As neither of them, however, had anything with which to pay, he forgave them both. Tell Me, now, which of them would love him most."
RF LUK 7:43 "I presume," said Simon, in reply, "it would be the one to whom he had forgiven most."
"You have rightly judged," He said to him.
RF LUK 7:44 Turning then to the woman, He said to Simon, "Do you mark this woman? I entered with yourself into your house: you gave Me No water for my feet, but she has bathed My feet with tears, and wiped them with her tresses.
RF LUK 7:45 You greeted Me with no kiss; but she from the time I entered, has never stopped her fervent kissing of My feet.
RF LUK 7:46 You did not soothe My head; but she has soothed My feet with perfume.
RF LUK 7:47 For this, I tell you, her sins, which are many, are taken away-because she loved greatly; but from whom little is taken away, he will love but little."
RF LUK 7:48 He then said to her, "Your sins are taken away."
RF LUK 7:49 His fellow-guests, however, began to say to themselves, "Who is this who even takes away sins?"
RF LUK 7:50 Then again addressing the woman He said, "Your faith has saved you; go in peace."
