Luke 7
1 Now when he had ended all
ℵ* omit
his sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into CapernaumℵB ⟨Capharnaum⟩
.1 Cum autem implesset omnia verba sua in aures plebis, intravit Capharnaum.
2 And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear unto him, was sick, and
ℵ* omit
ready to die.2 Centurionis autem cujusdam servus male habens, erat moriturus: qui illi erat pretiosus.
3 And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant.
3 Et cum audisset de Jesu, misit ad eum seniores Judæorum, rogans eum ut veniret et salvaret servum ejus.
4 And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying
A ⟨saying unto him⟩
, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:4 At illi cum venissent ad Jesum, rogabant eum sollicite, dicentes ei: Quia dignus est ut hoc illi præstes:
5 For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.
5 diligit enim gentem nostram, et synagogam ipse ædificavit nobis.
6 Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him
ℵ ⟨saying⟩; B ⟨saying unto him⟩
, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof:6 Jesus autem ibat cum illis. Et cum jam non longe esset a domo, misit ad eum centurio amicos, dicens: Domine, noli vexari: non enim sum dignus ut sub tectum meum intres:
7 Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.
7 propter quod et meipsum non sum dignum arbitratus ut venirem ad te: sed dic verbo, et sanabitur puer meus.
8 For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
8 Nam et ego homo sum sub potestate constitutus, habens sub me milites: et dico huic, Vade, et vadit: et alii, Veni, et venit: et servo meo, Fac hoc, et facit.
9 When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
9 Quo audito Jesus miratus est: et conversus sequentibus se turbis, dixit: Amen dico vobis, nec in Israël tantam fidem inveni.
10 And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole that had been sick
ℵB omit
.10 Et reversi, qui missi fuerant, domum, invenerunt servum, qui languerat, sanum.
11 ¶ And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called
ℵ* ⟨the city of⟩
Nain; and many ofℵB omit
his disciples went with him, and much people.11 ¶ Et factum est: deinceps ibat in civitatem quæ vocatur Naim: et ibant cum eo discipuli ejus et turba copiosa.
12 Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man
A ⟨a man⟩
carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.12 Cum autem appropinquaret portæ civitatis, ecce defunctus efferebatur filius unicus matris suæ: et hæc vidua erat: et turba civitatis multa cum illa.
13 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.
13 Quam cum vidisset Dominus, misericordia motus super eam, dixit illi: Noli flere.
14 And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.
14 Et accessit, et tetigit loculum. (Hi autem qui portabant, steterunt.) Et ait: Adolescens, tibi dico, surge.
15 And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother.
15 Et resedit qui erat mortuus, et cœpit loqui. Et dedit illum matri suæ.
16 And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited his people.
16 Accepit autem omnes timor: et magnificabant Deum, dicentes: Quia propheta magnus surrexit in nobis: et quia Deus visitavit plebem suam.
17 And this rumour of him
ℵ* omit
went forth throughout all Judæa, and throughout all the region round about.17 Et exiit hic sermo in universam Judæam de eo, et in omnem circa regionem.
18 And the disciples of John shewed him of all these things.
18 ¶ Et nuntiaverunt Joanni discipuli ejus de omnibus his.
19 ¶ And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to Jesus
B ⟨the Lord⟩
, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?19 Et convocavit duos de discipulis suis Joannes, et misit ad Jesum, dicens: Tu es qui venturus es, an alium exspectamus?
20 When the men
ℵ* ⟨they⟩
were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?20 Cum autem venissent ad eum viri, dixerunt: Joannes Baptista misit nos ad te dicens: Tu es qui venturus es, an alium exspectamus?
21 And in that same hour
ℵ2B ⟨In that hour⟩; ℵ* ⟨In that day⟩
he cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evilℵ* ⟨unclean⟩
spirits; and unto many that were blind he gave sight.21 (In ipsa autem hora multos curavit a languoribus, et plagis, et spiritibus malis, et cæcis multis donavit visum.)
22 Then Jesus
ℵB ⟨he⟩
answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how thatℵB omit
the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, theℵB ⟨and the⟩
deaf hear, the dead are raised, toℵ ⟨and to⟩
the poor the gospel is preached.22 Et respondens, dixit illis: Euntes renuntiate Joanni quæ audistis et vidistis: quia cæci vident, claudi ambulant, leprosi mundantur, surdi audiunt, mortui resurgunt, pauperes evangelizantur:
23 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.
23 et beatus est quicumque non fuerit scandalizatus in me.
24 ¶ And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak unto the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
24 ¶ Et cum discessissent nuntii Joannis, cœpit de Joanne dicere ad turbas: Quid existis in desertum videre? arundinem vento agitatam?
25 But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings' courts.
25 Sed quid existis videre? hominem mollibus vestibus indutum? Ecce qui in veste pretiosa sunt et deliciis, in domibus regum sunt.
26 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.
26 Sed quid existis videre? prophetam? Utique dico vobis, et plus quam prophetam:
27 This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
27 hic est, de quo scriptum est: Ecce mitto angelum meum ante faciem tuam, qui præparabit viam tuam ante te.
28 For
ℵ ⟨Verily⟩; B omit
I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the BaptistℵB ⟨none greater than John⟩
: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.28 Dico enim vobis: major inter natos mulierum propheta Joanne Baptista nemo est: qui autem minor est in regno Dei, major est illo.
29 And all the people that heard him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.
29 ¶ Et omnis populus audiens et publicani, justificaverunt Deum, baptizati baptismo Joannis.
30 But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves
ℵ omit
, being not baptized of him.30 Pharisæi autem et legisperiti consilium Dei spreverunt in semetipsos, non baptizati ab eo.
31 ¶ And the Lord said,
ℵBA omit
Whereunto thenℵ ⟨Now whereunto⟩
shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?31 Ait autem Dominus: Cui ergo similes dicam homines generationis hujus? et cui similes sunt?
32 They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you
ℵB omit
, and ye have not wept.32 Similes sunt pueris sedentibus in foro, et loquentibus ad invicem, et dicentibus: Cantavimus vobis tibiis, et non saltastis: lamentavimus, et non plorastis.
33 For John the Baptist came neither
ℵB ⟨not⟩
eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil.33 Venit enim Joannes Baptista, neque manducans panem, neque bibens vinum, et dicitis: Dæmonium habet.
34 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!
34 Venit Filius hominis manducans, et bibens, et dicitis: Ecce homo devorator, et bibens vinum, amicus publicanorum et peccatorum.
35 But wisdom is justified of all her children
ℵ ⟨works⟩
.35 Et justificata est sapientia ab omnibus filiis suis.
36 ¶ And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat.
36 ¶ Rogabat autem illum quidam de pharisæis ut manducaret cum illo. Et ingressus domum pharisæi discubuit.
37 And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew
ℵB ⟨which was in the city, a sinner, and knowing⟩
that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,37 Et ecce mulier, quæ erat in civitate peccatrix, ut cognovit quod accubuisset in domo pharisæi, attulit alabastrum unguenti:
38 And stood at his feet
A ⟨the feet of Jesus,⟩
behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.38 et stans retro secus pedes ejus, lacrimis cœpit rigare pedes ejus, et capillis capitis sui tergebat, et osculabatur pedes ejus, et unguento ungebat.
39 Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a
B* ⟨the⟩
prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner.39 Videns autem pharisæus, qui vocaverat eum, ait intra se dicens: Hic si esset propheta, sciret utique quæ et qualis est mulier, quæ tangit eum: quia peccatrix est.
40 And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.
40 Et respondens Jesus, dixit ad illum: Simon, habeo tibi aliquid dicere. At ille ait: Magister, dic.
41 There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.
41 Duo debitores erant cuidam fœneratori: unus debebat denarios quingentos, et alius quinquaginta.
42 And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them
ℵBA ⟨Which of them therefore⟩
will love him most?42 Non habentibus illis unde redderent, donavit utrisque. Quis ergo eum plus diligit?
43 Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.
43 Respondens Simon dixit: Æstimo quia is cui plus donavit. At ille dixit ei: Recte judicasti.
44 And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head
ℵBA ⟨wiped them with her hairs⟩
.44 Et conversus ad mulierem, dixit Simoni: Vides hanc mulierem? Intravi in domum tuam, aquam pedibus meis non dedisti: hæc autem lacrimis rigavit pedes meos, et capillis suis tersit.
45 Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet.
45 Osculum mihi non dedisti: hæc autem ex quo intravit, non cessavit osculari pedes meos.
46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment.
46 Oleo caput meum non unxisti: hæc autem unguento unxit pedes meos.
47 Wherefore I say
ℵ ⟨said⟩
unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the sameB ⟨the same also⟩
loveth little.47 Propter quod dico tibi: remittuntur ei peccata multa, quoniam dilexit multum. Cui autem minus dimittitur, minus diligit.
48 And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.
48 Dixit autem ad illam: Remittuntur tibi peccata.
49 And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?
49 Et cœperunt qui simul accumbebant, dicere intra se: Quis est hic qui etiam peccata dimittit?
50 And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
50 Dixit autem ad mulierem: Fides tua te salvam fecit: vade in pace.
