Luke 7

1 Christ findeth a greater faith in the centurion, a Gentile, than in any of the Jews: 10 healeth his servant being absent: 11 raiseth from death the widow's son at Nain: 19 answereth John's messengers with the declaration of his miracles: 24 testifieth to the people what opinion he held of John: 30 inveigheth against the Jews, who with neither the manners of John nor of Jesus could be won: 36 and sheweth by occasion of Mary Magdalene, how he is a friend to sinners, not to maintain them in sins, but to forgive them their sins, upon their faith and repentance.

 7:1 ¶ Now 1161 when 1893 hee had ended 4137 z5656 all 3956 his y846 x848 sayings 4487 in 1519 the x3588 audience 189 of the x3588 people, 2992 hee entred 1525 z5627 into 1519 Capernaum. 2584

 7:2 And 1161 a certaine 5100 Centurions 1543 seruant, 1401 who 3739 was 2258 z5713 deare 1784 vnto him, 846 was y2192 z5723 sicke 2560 x2192 and ready 3195 z5707 to die. 5053 z5721

 7:3 And 1161 when he heard 191 z5660 of 4012 Iesus, 2424 he sent 649 z5656 vnto 4314 him 846 the Elders 4245 of the x3588 Iewes, 2453 beseeching 2065 z5723 him 846 that 3704 he would come 2064 z5631 and x2532 heale 1295 z5661 his 846 seruant. 1401

 7:4 And 1161 when they x3588 came 3854 z5637 to 4314 Iesus, 2424 they besought 3870 z5707 him 846 instantly, 4709 saying, 3004 z5723 that 3754 hee was 2076 z5748 worthy 514 for whome 3739 hee should doe 3930 z5692 this. 5124

 7:5 For 1063 he loueth 25 z5719 our 2257 nation, 1484 and 2532 hee 846 hath built 3618 z5656 vs 2254 a Synagogue. 4864

 7:6 Then 1161 Iesus 2424 went 4198 z5711 with 4862 them. 846 And 1161 when he 846 was 568 z5723 now 2235 not 3756 farre 3112 from 575 the x3588 house, 3614 the x3588 Centurion 1543 sent 3992 z5656 friends 5384 to 4314 him, 846 saying 3004 z5723 vnto him, 846 Lord, 2962 trouble 4660 z0 not 3361 thy selfe: y4660 z5744 for 1063 I am 1510 z5748 not 3756 worthy 2425 that 2443 thou shouldest enter 1525 z5632 vnder 5259 my 3450 roofe. 4721

 7:7 Wherefore 1352 neither 3761 thought I y515 z0 my selfe y1683 worthy 515 z5656 x1683 to come 2064 z5629 vnto 4314 thee: 4571 but 235 say 2036 z5628 in a worde, 3056 and 2532 my 3450 seruant 3816 shall bee healed. 2390 z5701

 7:8 For 1063 I 1473 also 2532 am 1510 z5748 a man 444 set 5021 z5746 vnder 5259 authoritie, 1849 hauing 2192 z5723 vnder 5259 mee 1683 souldiers: 4757 and 2532 I say 3004 z5719 vnto one, 5129 Goe, 4198 z5676 and 2532 he goeth: 4198 z5736 and 2532 to another, 243 Come, 2064 z5736 and 2532 hee commeth: 2064 z5736 and 2532 to my 3450 seruant, 1401 Doe 4160 z5657 this, 5124 and 2532 he doeth 4160 z5719 it.

 7:9 When 1161 Iesus 2424 heard 191 z5660 these things, 5023 hee marueiled 2296 z5656 at him, 846 and 2532 turned him about, 4762 z5651 and saide 2036 z5627 vnto the x3588 people 3793 that followed 190 z5723 him, 846 I say 3004 z5719 vnto you, 5213 I haue not found 2147 z5627 so great 5118 faith, 4102 no, not 3761 in 1722 Israel. 2474

 7:10 And 2532 they that were sent, 3992 z5685 returning 5290 z5660 to 1519 the x3588 house, 3624 found 2147 z5627 the x3588 seruant 1401 whole 5198 z5723 that had bene sicke. 770 z5723

 7:11 ¶ And 2532 it came to passe 1096 z5633 y1722 the x3588 day after, 1836 that he went 4198 z5711 into 1519 a citie 4172 called 2564 z5746 Naim: 3484 and 2532 many 2425 of his 846 disciples 3101 went with 4848 z5711 him, 846 and 2532 much 4183 people. 3793

 7:12 Now 1161 when 5613 he came nigh 1448 z5656 to the x3588 gate 4439 of the x3588 citie, 4172 x2532 behold, 2400 y2532 z5628 there was y1580 z0 a dead man 2348 z5761 caried out, 1580 z5712 the onely 3439 sonne 5207 of his y846 x848 mother, 3384 and 2532 shee y846 x3778 was 2258 z5713 a widow: 5503 and 2532 much 2425 people 3793 of the x3588 citie 4172 was 2258 z5713 with 4862 her. 846

 7:13 And 2532 when the x3588 Lord 2962 saw 1492 z5631 her, 846 he had compassion 4697 z5675 on 1909 her, 846 and 2532 saide 2036 z5627 vnto her, 846 Weepe 2799 z5720 not. 3361

 7:14 And 2532 hee came 4334 z5631 and touched 680 z5662 the x3588 beere 4673 (and 1161 they that bare 941 z5723 him, stood still.) 2476 z5627 And 2532 he said, 2036 z5627 Yong man, 3495 I say 3004 z5719 vnto thee, 4671 Arise. 1453 z5682

 7:15 And 2532 he that was dead, 3498 sate vp, 339 z5656 and 2532 began 756 z5662 to speake: 2980 z5721 and 2532 he deliuered 1325 z5656 him 846 to his 846 mother. 3384

 7:16 And 1161 there came y2983 z5627 a feare 5401 x2983 on all, 537 and 2532 they glorified 1392 z5707 God, 2316 saying, 3004 z5723 that 3754 a great 3173 Prophet 4396 is risen vp 1453 z5769 among 1722 vs, 2254 and 2532 that 3754 God 2316 hath visited 1980 z5662 his y846 x848 people. 2992

 7:17 And 2532 this 3778 rumour 3056 of 4012 him 846 went foorth 1831 z5627 throughout 1722 all y3650 x3950 Iudea, 2449 and 2532 throughout 1722 all 3956 the x3588 region round about. 4066

 7:18 And 2532 the x3588 disciples 3101 of Iohn 2491 shewed 518 z5656 him 846 of 4012 all 3956 these things. 5130

 7:19 ¶ And 2532 Iohn 2491 calling 4341 z5666 vnto him x5100 two 1417 y5100 of his y846 x848 disciples, 3101 sent 3992 z5656 them to 4314 Iesus, 2424 saying, 3004 z5723 Art 1488 z5748 thou 4771 hee that should come, 2064 z5740 or 2228 looke we for 4328 z5719 z5725 another? 243

 7:20 When 1161 the x3588 men 435 were come 3854 z5637 vnto 4314 him, 846 they said, 2036 z5627 Iohn 2491 Baptist 910 hath sent 649 z5758 vs 2248 vnto 4314 thee, 4571 saying, 3004 z5723 Art 1488 z5748 thou 4771 hee that should come, 2064 z5740 or 2228 looke we for 4328 z5719 z5725 another? 243

 7:21 And 1161 in 1722 that same 846 houre 5610 hee cured 2323 z5656 many 4183 of 575 their infirmities 3554 and 2532 plagues, y3148 x3184 and 2532 of euill 4190 spirits, 4151 and 2532 vnto many 4183 that were blind, 5185 he gaue 5483 z5662 sight. 991 z5721

 7:22 Then 2532 Iesus 2424 answering, 611 z5679 said 2036 z5627 vnto them, 846 Go your way, 4198 z5679 and tell 518 z5657 Iohn 2491 what things 3739 ye haue seene 1492 z5627 and 2532 heard, 191 z5656 how y3754 that x3754 the blind 5185 see, 308 z5719 the lame 5560 walke, 4043 z5719 the lepers 3015 are clensed, 2511 z5743 the deafe 2974 heare, 191 z5719 the dead 3498 are raised, 1453 z5743 to the poore 4434 the Gospel is preached. 2097 z5743

 7:23 And 2532 blessed 3107 is 2076 z5748 he whosoeuer 3739 x1437 shall y4624 z0 not y3362 x3361 be offended 4624 z5686 in 1722 me. 1698

 7:24 ¶ And 1161 when the x3588 messengers 32 of Iohn 2491 were departed, 565 z5631 hee beganne 756 z5662 to speake 3004 z5721 vnto 4314 ye x3588 people 3793 concerning 4012 Iohn: 2491 What 5101 went ye out 1831 z5758 into 1519 the x3588 wildernesse 2048 for to see? 2300 z5664 A reede 2563 shaken 4531 z5746 with 5259 the winde? 417

 7:25 But 235 what 5101 went ye out 1831 z5758 for to see? 1492 z5629 A man 444 clothed 294 z5772 in 1722 soft 3120 raiment? 2440 Behold, 2400 z5628 they x3588 which are y1722 gorgeously y1741 apparelled, 2441 x1722 x1741 and 2532 liue 5225 z5723 delicately, 5172 are 1526 z5748 in 1722 kings courts. 933

 7:26 But 235 what 5101 went ye out 1831 z5758 for to see? 1492 z5629 A Prophet? 4396 Yea, 3483 I say 3004 z5719 vnto you, 5213 and 2532 much more 4055 then a Prophet. 4396

 7:27 This 3778 is 2076 z5748 he of 4012 whome 3739 it is written, 1125 z5769 Behold, 2400 z5628 I 1473 send 649 z5719 my 3450 messenger 32 before 4253 thy 4675 face, 4383 which 3739 shall prepare 2680 z5692 thy 4675 way 3598 before 1715 thee. 4675

 7:28 For 1063 I say 3004 z5719 vnto you, 5213 among 1722 those that are borne 1084 of women, 1135 there is 2076 z5748 not 3762 a greater 3187 z0 Prophet 4396 then y3187 Iohn 2491 the x3588 Baptist: 910 but 1161 he that is least 3398 in 1722 the x3588 kingdome 932 of God, 2316 is 2076 z5748 greater x3187 then y3187 he. 846

 7:29 And 2532 all 3956 the x3588 people 2992 that heard 191 z5660 [him], and 2532 the x3588 Publicanes, 5057 iustified 1344 z5656 God, 2316 being baptized 907 z5685 with the x3588 baptisme 908 of Iohn. 2491

 7:30 But 1161 the x3588 Pharisees 5330 and 2532 Lawyers 3544 reiected 114 z5656 the x3588 counsell 1012 of God 2316 against 1519 themselues, 1438 being y907 z0 not 3361 baptized 907 z5685 of 5259 him. 846

 7:31 ¶ And 1161 the x3588 Lord 2962 said, 2036 z5627 whereunto 5101 then 3767 shall I liken 3666 z5692 the x3588 men 444 of this 5026 generation? 1074 and 2532 to what 5101 are x1526 they y1526 z5748 like? 3664

 7:32 They are 1526 z5748 like y3664 vnto x3664 children 3813 sitting 2521 z5740 in 1722 the market place, 58 & 2532 calling 4377 z5719 z5723 one to another, 240 and 2532 saying, 3004 z5719 z5723 We haue piped 832 z5656 vnto you, 5213 and 2532 ye haue y3738 z0 not 3756 danced: 3738 z5662 wee haue mourned 2354 z5656 to you, 5213 and 2532 yee haue y2799 z0 not 3756 wept. 2799 z5656

 7:33 For 1063 Iohn 2491 the x3588 Baptist 910 came, 2064 z5754 neither 3383 eating 2068 z5723 bread, 740 nor 3383 drinking 4095 z5723 wine, 3631 and 2532 ye say, 3004 z5719 He hath 2192 z5719 a deuill. 1140

 7:34 The x3588 sonne 5207 of man 444 is come, 2064 z5754 eating, 2068 z5723 and 2532 drinking, 4095 z5723 and 2532 ye say, 3004 z5719 Behold 2400 z5628 a gluttonous 5314 man, 444 and 2532 a wine bibber, 3630 a friend 5384 of Publicanes 5057 and 2532 sinners. 268

 7:35 But 2532 wisedome 4678 is iustified 1344 z5681 of 575 all 3956 her y846 x848 children. 5043

 7:36 ¶ And 1161 one 5100 of the x3588 Pharisees 5330 desired 2065 z5707 him 846 that 2443 he would eat 5315 z5632 with 3326 him. 846 And 2532 he went 1525 z5631 into 1519 the x3588 Pharisees 5330 house, 3614 and x2532 sate downe to meat. 347 z5681

 7:37 And 2532 behold, 2400 z5628 a woman 1135 in 1722 the x3588 citie 4172 which 3748 was 2258 z5713 a sinner, 268 when shee knew 1921 z5631 that 3754 Iesus sate at meat 345 z5736 in 1722 the x3588 Pharisees 5330 house, 3614 brought 2865 z5660 an Alabaster boxe 211 of ointment, 3464

 7:38 And 2532 stood 2476 z5631 at 3844 his 846 feet 4228 behind 3694 him, weeping, 2799 z5723 and began 756 z5662 to wash 1026 z5721 his 846 feete 4228 with teares, 1144 and 2532 did wipe 1591 z5707 them with the x3588 haires 2359 of her y846 x848 head, 2776 and 2532 kissed 2705 z5707 his 846 feet, 4228 and 2532 anointed 218 z5707 them with the x3588 oyntment. 3464

 7:39 Now 1161 when the x3588 Pharisee 5330 which y3588 had bidden 2564 z5660 him, 846 saw 1492 z5631 [it], he spake 2036 z5627 within 1722 himselfe, 1438 saying, 3004 z5723 This man, 3778 if 1487 he were 2258 z5713 a Prophet, 4396 y302 would haue knowen 1097 z5707 x302 who, 5101 and 2532 what maner 4217 of woman 1135 this is that 3748 toucheth 680 z5731 him: 846 for 3754 she is 2076 z5748 a sinner. 268

 7:40 And 2532 Iesus 2424 answering, 611 z5679 said 2036 z5627 vnto 4314 him, 846 Simon, 4613 I haue 2192 z5719 somewhat 5100 to say 2036 z5629 vnto thee. 4671 And 1161 he x3588 saith, 5346 z5748 Master, 1320 say on. 2036 z5628

 7:41 There was y2258 z5713 a certaine 5100 creditour, 1157 which had x2258 two 1417 debtors: 5533 the x3588 one 1520 ought 3784 z5707 fiue hundred 4001 pence, 1220 and 1161 the x3588 other 2087 fiftie. 4004

 7:42 And 1161 when they 846 had 2192 z5723 nothing 3361 to pay, 591 z5629 he frankly forgaue 5483 z5662 them both. 297 Tell x2036 me y2036 z5628 therefore, 3767 which 5101 of them 846 will loue 25 z5692 him 846 most? 4119

 7:43 x1161 Simon 4613 answered, 611 z5679 and y1161 saide, 2036 z5627 I suppose, 5274 z5719 that 3754 hee to whome 3739 he forgaue 5483 z5662 most. 4119 And 1161 he x3588 said 2036 z5627 vnto him, 846 Thou hast y2919 z0 rightly 3723 iudged. 2919 z5656

 7:44 And 2532 hee turned 4762 z5651 to 4314 the x3588 woman, 1135 and said 5346 z5713 vnto Simon, 4613 Seest x991 thou y991 z5719 this 5026 woman? 1135 I entred 1525 z5627 into 1519 thine 4675 house, 3614 thou gauest x1325 me y1325 z5656 no 3756 water 5204 for 1909 my 3450 feete: 4228 but 1161 shee 3778 z5625 y846 hath washed 1026 z5656 my 3450 feete 4228 with teares, 1144 and 2532 wiped 1591 z5656 them with the x3588 haires 2359 of her y846 x848 head. 2776

 7:45 Thou gauest 1325 z5656 me 3427 no 3756 kisse: 5370 but 1161 this woman, 3778 z5625 y846 since 575 the time 3739 I came in, 1525 z5627 hath y1257 z0 not 3756 ceased 1257 z5627 to kisse 2705 z5723 my 3450 feet. 4228

 7:46 Mine 3450 head 2776 with oile 1637 thou didst y218 z0 not 3756 anoint: 218 z5656 but 1161 this woman 3778 z5625 y846 hath anointed 218 z5656 my 3450 feet 4228 with oyntment. 3464

 7:47 Wherefore, 3739 5484 I say 3004 z5719 vnto thee, y4671 x5213 her 846 sinnes, 266 which y3588 are many, y4183 x4187 are forgiuen, 863 z5769 for 3754 she loued 25 z5656 much: 4183 but 1161 to whom 3739 litle 3641 is forgiuen, 863 z5743 the same loueth 25 z5719 litle. 3641

 7:48 And 1161 he said 2036 z5627 vnto her, 846 Thy 4675 sinnes 266 are forgiuen. 863 z5769

 7:49 And 2532 they that sate at meat with x4873 him, y4873 z5740 began 756 z5662 to say 3004 z5721 within 1722 themselues, 1438 Who 5101 is 2076 z5748 this 3778 that 3739 forgiueth 863 z5719 sinnes 266 also? 2532

 7:50 And 1161 he said 2036 z5627 to 4314 the x3588 woman, 1135 Thy 4675 faith 4102 hath saued 4982 z5758 thee, 4571 goe 4198 z5737 in 1519 peace. 1515
