Luke 7

Authored by: American Standard Version
7:1
Επειδη επληρωσεν παντα τα ρηματα αυτου εις τας ακοας του λαου εισηλθεν εις Καφαρναουμ
After he had ended all his sayings in the ears of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
7:2
Εκατονταρχου δε τινος δουλος κακως εχων ημελλεν τελευταν ος ην αυτω εντιμος
And a certain centurion’s servant, who was dear unto him, was sick and at the point of death.
7:3
ακουσας δε περι του Ιησου απεστειλεν προς αυτον πρεσβυτερους των Ιουδαιων ερωτων αυτον οπως ελθων διασωση τον δουλον αυτου
And when he heard concerning Jesus, he sent unto him elders of the Jews, asking him that he would come and save his servant.
7:4
οι δε παραγενομενοι προς τον Ιησουν παρεκαλουν αυτον σπουδαιως λεγοντες οτι Αξιος εστιν ω παρεξη τουτο
And they, when they came to Jesus, besought him earnestly, saying, He is worthy that thou shouldest do this for him;
7:5
αγαπα γαρ το εθνος ημων και την συναγωγην αυτος ωκοδομησεν ημιν
for he loveth our nation, and himself built us our synagogue.
7:6
Ο δε Ιησους επορευετο συν αυτοις ηδη δε αυτου ου μακραν απεχοντος απο της οικιας επεμψεν φιλους ο εκατονταρχης λεγων αυτω Κυριε μη σκυλλου ου γαρ ικανος ειμι ινα υπο την στεγην μου εισελθης
And 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 come under my roof:
7:7
διο ουδε εμαυτον ηξιωσα προς σε ελθειν αλλα ειπε λογω και ιαθητω ο παις μου
wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say the word, and my servant shall be healed.
7:8
και γαρ εγω ανθρωπος ειμι υπο εξουσιαν τασσομενος εχων υπ εμαυτον στρατιωτας και λεγω τουτω Πορευθητι και πορευεται και αλλω Ερχου και ερχεται και τω δουλω μου Ποιησον τουτο και ποιει
For I also am a man set under authority, having under myself soldiers: and I say to this one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
7:9
Ακουσας δε ταυτα ο Ιησους εθαυμασεν αυτον και στραφεις τω ακολουθουντι αυτω οχλω ειπεν Λεγω υμιν ουδε εν τω Ισραηλ τοσαυτην πιστιν ευρον
And when Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned and said unto the multitude that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
7:10
και υποστρεψαντες εις τον οικον οι πεμφθεντες ευρον τον δουλον υγιαινοντα
And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole.
7:11
Και εγενετο εν τω εξης επορευθη εις πολιν καλουμενην Ναιν και συνεπορευοντο αυτω οι μαθηται αυτου και οχλος πολυς
And it came to pass soon afterwards, that he went to a city called Nain; and his disciples went with him, and a great multitude.
7:12
ως δε ηγγισεν τη πυλη της πολεως και ιδου εξεκομιζετο τεθνηκως μονογενης υιος τη μητρι αυτου και αυτη ην χηρα και οχλος της πολεως ικανος ην συν αυτη
Now when he drew near to the gate of the city, behold, there was carried out one that was dead, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.
7:13
και ιδων αυτην ο Κυριος εσπλαγχνισθη επ αυτη και ειπεν αυτη Μη κλαιε
And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.
7:14
Και προσελθων ηψατο της σορου οι δε βασταζοντες εστησαν και ειπεν Νεανισκε σοι λεγω εγερθητι
And he came nigh and touched the bier: and the bearers stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.
7:15
και ανεκαθισεν ο νεκρος και ηρξατο λαλειν και εδωκεν αυτον τη μητρι αυτου
And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother.
7:16
Ελαβεν δε φοβος παντας και εδοξαζον τον Θεον λεγοντες οτι Προφητης μεγας ηγερθη εν ημιν και οτι Επεσκεψατο ο Θεος τον λαον αυτου
And fear took hold on all: and they glorified God, saying, A great prophet is arisen among us: and, God hath visited his people.
7:17
και εξηλθεν ο λογος ουτος εν ολη τη Ιουδαια περι αυτου και παση τη περιχωρω
And this report went forth concerning him in the whole of Judæa, and all the region round about.
7:18
Και απηγγειλαν Ιωαννη οι μαθηται αυτου περι παντων τουτων και προσκαλεσαμενος δυο τινας των μαθητων αυτου ο Ιωαννης
And the disciples of John told him of all these things.
7:19
επεμψεν προς τον Κυριον λεγων Συ ει ο ερχομενος η αλλον προσδοκωμεν
And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to the Lord, saying, Art thou he that cometh, or look we for another?
7:20
Παραγενομενοι δε προς αυτον οι ανδρες ειπαν Ιωαννης ο Βαπτιστης απεστειλεν ημας προς σε λεγων Συ ει ο ερχομενος η αλλον προσδοκωμεν
And when the men were come unto him, they said, John the Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that cometh, or look we for another?
7:21
Εν εκεινη τη ωρα εθεραπευσεν πολλους απο νοσων και μαστιγων και πνευματων πονηρων και τυφλοις πολλοις εχαρισατο βλεπειν
In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and on many that were blind he bestowed sight.
7:22
και αποκριθεις ειπεν αυτοις Πορευθεντες απαγγειλατε Ιωαννη α ειδετε και ηκουσατε τυφλοι αναβλεπουσιν χωλοι περιπατουσιν λεπροι καθαριζονται και κωφοι ακουουσιν νεκροι εγειρονται πτωχοι ευαγγελιζονται
And he answered and said unto them, Go and tell John the things which ye have seen and heard; the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the poor have good tidings preached to them.
7:23
και μακαριος εστιν ος εαν μη σκανδαλισθη εν εμοι
And blessed is he, whosoever shall find no occasion of stumbling in me.
7:24
Απελθοντων δε των αγγελων Ιωαννου ηρξατο λεγειν προς τους οχλους περι Ιωαννου Τι εξηλθατε εις την ερημον θεασασθαι καλαμον υπο ανεμου σαλευομενον
And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to behold? a reed shaken with the wind?
7:25
αλλα τι εξηλθατε ιδειν ανθρωπον εν μαλακοις ιματιοις ημφιεσμενον ιδου οι εν ιματισμω ενδοξω και τρυφη υπαρχοντες εν τοις βασιλειοις εισιν
But what went ye out to see? a man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they that are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings’ courts.
7:26
Αλλα τι εξηλθατε ιδειν προφητην ναι λεγω υμιν και περισσοτερον προφητου
But what went ye out to see? a prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.
7:27
ουτος εστιν περι ου γεγραπται Ιδου αποστελλω τον αγγελον μου προ προσωπου σου Ος κατασκευασει την οδον σου εμπροσθεν σου
This is he of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, Who shall prepare thy way before thee.
7:28
Λεγω υμιν μειζων εν γεννητοις γυναικων Ιωαννου ουδεις εστιν ο δε μικροτερος εν τη βασιλεια του Θεου μειζων αυτου εστιν
I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there is none greater than John: yet he that is but little in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
7:29
Και πας ο λαος ακουσας και οι τελωναι εδικαιωσαν τον Θεον βαπτισθεντες το βαπτισμα Ιωαννου
And all the people when they heard, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.
7:30
οι δε Φαρισαιοι και οι νομικοι την βουλην του Θεου ηθετησαν εις εαυτους μη βαπτισθεντες υπ αυτου
But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected for themselves the counsel of God, being not baptized of him.
7:31
Τινι ουν ομοιωσω τους ανθρωπους της γενεας ταυτης και τινι εισιν ομοιοι
Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation, and to what are they like?
7:32
ομοιοι εισιν παιδιοις τοις εν αγορα καθημενοις και προσφωνουσιν αλληλοις α λεγει Ηυλησαμεν υμιν και ουκ ωρχησασθε Εθρηνησαμεν και ουκ εκλαυσατε
They are like unto children that sit in the marketplace, and call one to another; who say, We piped unto you, and ye did not dance; we wailed, and ye did not weep.
7:33
Εληλυθεν γαρ Ιωαννης ο Βαπτιστης μη εσθιων αρτον μητε πινων οινον και λεγετε Δαιμονιον εχει
For John the Baptist is come eating no bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a demon.
7:34
εληλυθεν ο Υιος του ανθρωπου εσθιων και πινων και λεγετε Ιδου ανθρωπος φαγος και οινοποτης φιλος τελωνων και αμαρτωλων
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!
7:35
και εδικαιωθη η σοφια απο παντων των τεκνων αυτης
And wisdom is justified of all her children.
7:36
Ηρωτα δε τις αυτον των Φαρισαιων ινα φαγη μετ αυτου και εισελθων εις τον οικον του Φαρισαιου κατεκλιθη
And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he entered into the Pharisee’s house, and sat down to meat.
7:37
και ιδου γυνη ητις ην εν τη πολει αμαρτωλος και επιγνουσα οτι κατακειται εν τη οικια του Φαρισαιου κομισασα αλαβαστρον μυρου
And behold, a woman who was in the city, a sinner; and when she knew that he was sitting at meat in the Pharisee’s house, she brought an alabaster cruse of ointment,
7:38
και στασα οπισω παρα τους ποδας αυτου κλαιουσα τοις δακρυσιν ηρξατο βρεχειν τους ποδας αυτου και ταις θριξιν της κεφαλης αυτης εξεμασσεν και κατεφιλει τους ποδας αυτου και ηλειφεν τω μυρω
and standing behind at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
7:39
Ιδων δε ο Φαρισαιος ο καλεσας αυτον ειπεν εν εαυτω λεγων Ουτος ει ην προφητης εγινωσκεν αν τις και ποταπη η γυνη ητις απτεται αυτου οτι αμαρτωλος εστιν
Now when the Pharisee that had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have perceived who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him, that she is a sinner.
7:40
Και αποκριθεις ο Ιησους ειπεν προς αυτον Σιμων εχω σοι τι ειπειν Ο δε Διδασκαλε ειπε φησιν
And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Teacher, say on.
7:41
Δυο χρεοφειλεται ησαν δανιστη τινι ο εις ωφειλεν δηναρια πεντακοσια ο δε ετερος πεντηκοντα
A certain lender had two debtors: the one owed five hundred shillings, and the other fifty.
7:42
μη εχοντων αυτων αποδουναι αμφοτεροις εχαρισατο τις ουν αυτων πλειον αγαπησει αυτον
When they had not wherewith to pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most?
7:43
Αποκριθεις Σιμων ειπεν Υπολαμβανω οτι ω το πλειον εχαρισατο Ο δε ειπεν αυτω Ορθως εκρινας
Simon answered and said, He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.
7:44
Και στραφεις προς την γυναικα τω Σιμωνι εφη Βλεπεις ταυτην την γυναικα εισηλθον σου εις την οικιαν υδωρ μοι επι ποδας ουκ εδωκας αυτη δε τοις δακρυσιν εβρεξεν μου τους ποδας και ταις θριξιν αυτης εξεμαξεν
And turning to the woman, he said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath wetted my feet with her tears, and wiped them with her hair.
7:45
φιλημα μοι ουκ εδωκας αυτη δε αφ ης εισηλθον ου διελιπεν καταφιλουσα μου τους ποδας
Thou gavest me no kiss: but she, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss my feet.
7:46
ελαιω την κεφαλην μου ουκ ηλειψας αυτη δε μυρω ηλειψεν τους ποδας μου
My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but she hath anointed my feet with ointment.
7:47
ου χαριν λεγω σοι αφεωνται αι αμαρτιαι αυτης αι πολλαι οτι ηγαπησεν πολυ ω δε ολιγον αφιεται ολιγον αγαπα
Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.
1
7:48
Ειπεν δε αυτη Αφεωνται σου αι αμαρτιαι
And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.
7:49
Και ηρξαντο οι συνανακειμενοι λεγειν εν εαυτοις Τις ουτος εστιν ος και αμαρτιας αφιησιν
And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that even forgiveth sins?
7:50
Ειπεν δε προς την γυναικα Η πιστις σου σεσωκεν σε πορευου εις ειρηνην
And he said unto the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.

Gratitude tied to awareness of need

'Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much' ties the intensity of someone's gratitude directly to their awareness of how much they needed forgiveness.
