Luke 7 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Jesus Heals a Centurion’s Slave

(Mat 8:5–13 )

When^G1894 He had completed^G4137 all^G3956 His [fn]teaching^G4487 in the hearing^G189 of the people^G2992, He went^G1525 to Capernaum^G2584.

Luk 7:2

Now^G1161 a centurion’s^G1543 slave^G1401, who^G3739 was highly^G1784 regarded^G1784 by him, was sick^G2560 and about^G3195 to^G3195 die^G5053.

Luk 7:3

Luk 7:3When he heard about Jesus, he sent some [fn]Jewish elders to Him, asking Him to come and save the life of his slave.

Luk 7:4

Luk 7:4When they came to Jesus, they strongly urged Him, saying, “He is worthy for You to grant this to him;

Luk 7:5

Luk 7:5for he loves our nation, and it was he who built us our synagogue.”

Luk 7:6

Luk 7:6Now Jesus started on His way with them; but already, when He was not yet far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying to Him, “[fn]Lord, do not trouble Yourself further, for I am not worthy for You to enter under my roof;

Luk 7:7

Luk 7:7for that reason I did not even consider myself worthy to come to You; but just [fn]say the word, and my servant [fn]shall be healed.

Luk 7:8

Luk 7:8“For I also am a man placed under authority, with soldiers under myself; and I say to this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes, and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes, and to my slave, ‘Do this!’ and he does it.”

Luk 7:9

Luk 7:9Now when Jesus heard this, He was amazed at him, and turned and said to the crowd that was following Him, “I say to you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith.”

Luk 7:10

Luk 7:10And when those who had been sent returned to the house, they found the slave in good health.

Luk 7:11

Soon^G1836 afterward^G1722^G1836 Jesus went^G4198 to a city^G4172 called^G2564 Nain^G3484; and His disciples^G3101 were going^G4848 along^G4848 with Him, [fn]accompanied^G2532 by a large^G4183 crowd^G3793.

Luk 7:12

Luk 7:12Now as He approached the gate of the city, [fn]a dead man was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and a sizeable crowd from the city was with her.

Luk 7:13

Luk 7:13When the Lord saw her, He felt compassion for her and said to her, “Do not go on weeping.”

Luk 7:14

Luk 7:14And He came up and touched the coffin; and the bearers came to a halt. And He said, “Young man, I say to you, arise!”

Luk 7:15

Luk 7:15And the dead man sat up and began to speak. And Jesus gave him back to his mother.

Luk 7:16

Luk 7:16Fear gripped them all, and they began glorifying God, saying, “A great prophet has appeared among us!” and, “God has [fn]visited His people!”

Luk 7:17

Luk 7:17And this report about Him spread throughout Judea and in all the surrounding region.

The Messengers from John

(Mat 11:2–19 )

Luk 7:18

The disciples^G3101 of John^G2491 also^G2532 reported^G518 to him about^G4012 all^G3956 these^G3778 things^G3778.

Luk 7:19

Luk 7:19And after summoning [fn]two of his disciples, John sent them to the Lord, saying, “Are You the Coming One, or are we to [fn]look for another?”

Luk 7:20

Luk 7:20When the men came to Him, they said, “John the Baptist has sent us to You, [fn]to ask, ‘Are You the Coming One, or are we to [fn]look for another?’”

Luk 7:21

Luk 7:21At that very [fn]time He cured many people of diseases and afflictions and evil spirits; and He gave sight to many who were blind.

Luk 7:22

Luk 7:22And He answered and said to them, “Go and report to John what you have seen and heard: people who were blind receive sight, people who limped walk, people with leprosy are cleansed and people who were deaf hear, dead people are raised up, and people who are poor have the gospel preached to them.

Luk 7:23

Luk 7:23“And blessed is [fn]anyone who does not take offense at Me.”

Luk 7:24

When the messengers^G32 of John^G2491 had left^G565, He began^G757 to speak^G3004 to the crowds^G3793 about^G4012 John^G2491: “What^G5101 did you go^G1831 out^G1831 into the [fn]wilderness^G2048 to see^G2300? A reed^G2563 shaken^G4531 by the wind^G417?

Luk 7:25

Luk 7:25“[fn]But what did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothing? Those who are splendidly clothed and live in luxury are found in royal palaces!

Luk 7:26

Luk 7:26“But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and one who is more than a prophet.

Luk 7:27

Luk 7:27“This is the one about whom it is written:

‘BEHOLD^G2400, I AM SENDING^G649 MY MESSENGER^G32 [fn]AHEAD^G4253 OF YOU,

WHO^G3739 WILL PREPARE^G2680 YOUR WAY^G3598 BEFORE^G1715 YOU.’

Luk 7:28

“I say^G3004 to you, among^G1722 those born^G1084 of women^G1135 there is no^G3762 one^G3762 greater^G3173 than John^G2491; yet^G1161 the one who is [fn]least^G3398 in the kingdom^G932 of God^G2316 is greater^G3173 than he.”

Luk 7:29

Luk 7:29When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, they acknowledged God’s justice, having been baptized with the baptism of John.

Luk 7:30

Luk 7:30But the Pharisees and the [fn]lawyers rejected God’s purpose for themselves, not having been baptized by [fn]John.

Luk 7:31

“To what^G5101 then^G3767 shall I compare^G3666 the people^G444 of this^G3778 generation^G1074, and what^G5101 are they like^G3664?

Luk 7:32

Luk 7:32“They are like children who sit in the marketplace and call to one another, and say, ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a song of mourning, and you did not weep.’

Luk 7:33

Luk 7:33“For John the Baptist has come neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon!’

Luk 7:34

Luk 7:34“The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Behold, a gluttonous man and a [fn]heavy drinker, a friend of tax collectors and [fn]sinners!’

Luk 7:35

Luk 7:35“And yet wisdom is vindicated by all her children.”

The Anointing in Galilee

Luk 7:36

Now^G1161 one^G5100 of the Pharisees^G5330 was requesting^G2065 Him to eat^G2068 with him, and He entered^G1525 the Pharisee’s^G5330 house^G3624 and reclined^G2625 at the table.

Luk 7:37

Luk 7:37And there was a woman in the city who was a [fn]sinner; and when she learned that He was reclining at the table in the Pharisee’s house, she brought an alabaster vial of perfume,

Luk 7:38

Luk 7:38and standing behind Him at His feet, weeping, she began to wet His feet with her tears, and she wiped them with the hair of her head, and began kissing His feet and anointing them with the perfume.

Luk 7:39

Luk 7:39Now when the Pharisee who had invited Him saw this, he said to himself, “If this Man were a prophet He would know who and what sort of person this woman is who is touching Him, that she is a [fn]sinner!”

Parable of Two Debtors

Luk 7:40

Luk 7:40And Jesus responded and said to him, “Simon, I have something to say to you.” And he [fn]replied, “Say it, Teacher.”

Luk 7:41

Luk 7:41“A moneylender had two debtors: the one owed five hundred [fn]denarii, and the other, fifty.

Luk 7:42

Luk 7:42“When they were unable to repay, he canceled the debts of both. So which of them will love him more?”

Luk 7:43

Luk 7:43Simon answered and said, “I assume the one for whom he canceled the greater debt.” And He said to him, “You have judged correctly.”

Luk 7:44

Luk 7:44And turning toward the woman, He said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave Me no water for My feet, but she has wet My feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.

Luk 7:45

Luk 7:45“You [fn]gave Me no kiss; but she has not stopped kissing My feet since the time I came in.

Luk 7:46

Luk 7:46“You did not [fn]anoint My head with oil, but she anointed My feet with perfume.

Luk 7:47

Luk 7:47“For this reason I say to you, her sins, which are many, have been forgiven, for she loved much; but the one who is forgiven little, loves little.”

Luk 7:48

Luk 7:48And He said to her, “Your sins have been forgiven.”

Luk 7:49

Luk 7:49And then those who were reclining at the table with Him began saying [fn]to themselves, “Who is this Man who even forgives sins?”

Luk 7:50

Luk 7:50And He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”
