1
Lest haply thou dash thy foot against a stone.
2
And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not make trial of the Lord thy God.
3
And when the devil had completed every temptation, he departed from him for a season.
4
And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and a fame went out concerning him through all the region round about.
5
And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.
6
And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and he entered, as his custom was, into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up to read.
7
And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Isaiah. And he opened the book, and found the place where it was written,
8
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
9
Because he anointed me to preach good tidings to the poor:
10
He hath sent me to proclaim release to the captives,
11
And recovering of sight to the blind,
12
To set at liberty them that are bruised,
13
To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.
14
And he closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant, and sat down: and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fastened on him.
15
And he began to say unto them, To-day hath this scripture been fulfilled in your ears.
16
And all bare him witness, and wondered at the words of grace which proceeded out of his mouth: and they said, Is not this Joseph’s son?
17
And he said unto them, Doubtless ye will say unto me this parable, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done at Capernaum, do also here in thine own country.
18
And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is acceptable in his own country.
19
But of a truth I say unto you, There were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when there came a great famine over all the land;
20
and unto none of them was Elijah sent, but only to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow.
21
And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, but only Naaman the Syrian.
22
And they were all filled with wrath in the synagogue, as they heard these things;
23
and they rose up, and cast him forth out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might throw him down headlong.
24
But he passing through the midst of them went his way.
25
And he came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee. And he was teaching them on the sabbath day:
26
and they were astonished at his teaching; for his word was with authority.
27
And in the synagogue there was a man, that had a spirit of an unclean demon; and he cried out with a loud voice,
28
Ah! what have we to do with thee, Jesus thou Nazarene? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.
29
And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the demon had thrown him down in the midst, he came out of him, having done him no hurt.
30
And amazement came upon all, and they spake together, one with another, saying, What is this word? for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out.
31
And there went forth a rumor concerning him into every place of the region round about.
32
And he rose up from the synagogue, and entered into the house of Simon. And Simon’s wife’s mother was holden with a great fever; and they besought him for her.
33
And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she rose up and ministered unto them.
34
And when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.
35
And demons also came out from many, crying out, and saying, Thou art the Son of God. And rebuking them, he suffered them not to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ.
36
And when it was day, he came out and went into a desert place: and the multitudes sought after him, and came unto him, and would have stayed him, that he should not go from them.
37
But he said unto them, I must preach the good tidings of the kingdom of God to the other cities also: for therefore was I sent.
38
And he was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.
39
Now it came to pass, while the multitude pressed upon him and heard the word of God, that he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret;
40
and he saw two boats standing by the lake: but the fishermen had gone out of them, and were washing their nets.
41
And he entered into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, and asked him to put out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the multitudes out of the boat.
42
And when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Put out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.
43
And Simon answered and said, Master, we toiled all night, and took nothing: but at thy word I will let down the nets.
44
And when they had done this, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes; and their nets were breaking;
45
and they beckoned unto their partners in the other boat, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink.
46
But Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.
47
For he was amazed, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken;
48
and so were also James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men.
49
And when they had brought their boats to land, they left all, and followed him.
50
And it came to pass, while he was in one of the cities, behold, a man full of leprosy: and when he saw Jesus, he fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

1
And when he had completed all his words in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
2
And a certain centurion's bondman who was dear to him was ill and about to die;
3
and having heard of Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, begging him that he might come and save his bondman.
4
But they, being come to Jesus, besought him diligently, saying, He is worthy to whom thou shouldest grant this,
5
for he loves our nation, and himself has built the synagogue for us.
6
And Jesus went with them. But already, when he was not far from the house, the centurion sent to him friends, saying to him, Lord, do not trouble thyself, for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof.
7
Wherefore neither did I count myself worthy to come to thee. But say by a word and my servant shall be healed.
8
For I also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers, and I say to this [one], Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my bondman, Do this, and he does [it].
9
And Jesus hearing this wondered at him, and turning to the crowd following him said, I say to you, Not even in Israel have I found so great faith.
10
And they who had been sent returning to the house found the bondman, who was ill, in good health.
11
And it came to pass afterwards he went into a city called Nain, and many of his disciples and a great crowd went with him.
12
And as he drew near to the gate of the city, behold, a dead man was carried out, the only son of his mother, and she a widow, and a very considerable crowd of the city [was] with her.
13
And the Lord, seeing her, was moved with compassion for her, and said to her, Weep not;
14
and coming up he touched the bier, and the bearers stopped. And he said, Youth, I say to thee, Wake up.
15
And the dead sat up and began to speak; and he gave him to his mother.
16
And fear seized on all, and they glorifiedGod, saying, A great prophet has been raised up amongst us; andGod has visited his people.
17
And this report went out in all Judaea concerning him, and in all the surrounding country.
18
And the disciples of John brought him word concerning all these things:
19
and John, having called two of his disciples, sent to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that is coming, or are we to wait for another?
20
But the men having come to him said, John the baptist has sent us to thee, saying, Art thou he that is coming, or are we to wait for another?
21
In that hour he healed many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits, and to many blind he granted sight.
22
And Jesus answering said to them, Go, bring back word to John of what ye have seen and heard: that blind see, lame walk, lepers are cleansed, deaf hear, dead are raised, poor are evangelized;
23
and blessed is whosoever shall not be offended in me.
24
And the messengers of John having departed, he began to speak to the crowds concerning John: What went ye out into the wilderness to behold? a reed shaken by the wind?
25
But what went ye out to see? a man clothed in delicate garments? Behold, those who are in splendid clothing and live luxuriously are in the courts of kings.
26
But what went ye out to see? a prophet? Yea, I say to you, and [what is] more excellent than a prophet.
27
This is he concerning whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee;
28
for I say unto you, Among them that are born of women a greater [prophet] is no one than John [the baptist]; but he who is a little one in the kingdom ofGod is greater than he.
29
(And all the people who heard [it], and the tax-gatherers, justifiedGod, having been baptised with the baptism of John;
30
but the Pharisees and the lawyers rendered null as to themselves the counsel ofGod, not having been baptised by him.)
31
To whom therefore shall I liken the men of this generation, and to whom are they like?
32
They are like children sitting in the market-place, and calling one to another and saying, We have piped to you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.
33
For John the baptist has come neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and ye say, He has a demon.
34
The Son of man has come eating and drinking, and ye say, Behold an eater and wine-drinker, a friend of tax-gatherers and sinners;
35
and wisdom has been justified of all her children.
36
But one of the Pharisees begged him that he would eat with him. And entering into the house of the Pharisee he took his place at table;
37
and behold, a woman in the city, who was a sinner, and knew that he was sitting at meat in the house of the Pharisee, having taken an alabaster box of myrrh,
38
and standing at his feet behind [him] weeping, began to wash his feet with tears; and she wiped them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed [them] with the myrrh.
39
And the Pharisee who had invited him, seeing it, spoke with himself saying, This [person] if he were a prophet would have known who and what the woman is who touches him, for she is a sinner.
40
And Jesus answering said to him, Simon, I have somewhat to say to thee. And he says, Teacher, say [it].
41
There were two debtors of a certain creditor: one owed five hundred denarii and the other fifty;
42
but as they had nothing to pay, he forgave both of them [their debt]: [say,] which of them therefore will love him most?
43
And Simon answering said, I suppose he to whom he forgave the most. And he said to him, Thou hast rightly judged.
44
And turning to the woman he said to Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house; thou gavest me not water on my feet, but she has washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with her hair.
45
Thou gavest me not a kiss, but she from the time I came in has not ceased kissing my feet.
46
My head with oil thou didst not anoint, but she has anointed my feet with myrrh.
47
For which cause I say to thee, Her many sins are forgiven; for she loved much; but he to whom little is forgiven loves little.
48
And he said to her, Thy sins are forgiven.
49
And they that were with [them] at table began to say within themselves, Who is this who forgives also sins?
50
And he said to the woman, Thy faith has saved thee; go in peace.

1
Cum autem implesset omnia verba sua in aures plebis, intravit Capharnaum.
2
Centurionis autem cuiusdam servus male habens, erat moriturus: qui illi erat pretiosus.
3
Et cum audisset de Iesu, misit ad eum seniores Iudæorum, rogans eum ut veniret, et salvaret servum eius.
4
At illi cum venissent ad Iesum, rogabant eum solicite, dicentes ei: Quia dignus est ut hoc illi præstes.
5
diligit enim gentem nostram: et synagogam ipse ædificavit nobis.
6
Iesus autem ibat cum illis. Et cum iam non longe esset a domo, misit ad eum Centurio amicos, dicens: Domine noli vexari: Non enim sum dignus ut sub tectum meum intres.
7
propter quod et meipsum non sum dignum arbitratus ut venirem ad te: sed dic verbo, et sanabitur puer meus.
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
Quo audito Iesus miratus est: et conversus sequentibus se turbis, dixit: Amen dico vobis, nec in Israel tantam fidem inveni.
10
Et reversi, qui missi fuerant domum, invenerunt servum, qui languerat, sanum.
11
Et factum est: deinceps ibat in civitatem, quæ vocatur Naim: et ibant cum eo discipuli eius, et turba copiosa.
12
Cum autem appropinquaret portæ civitatis, ecce defunctus efferebatur filius unicus matris suæ: et hæc vidua erat: et turba civitatis multa cum illa.
13
Quam cum vidisset Dominus, misericordia motus super eam, dixit illi: Noli flere.
14
Et accessit, et tetigit loculum. (Hi autem, qui portabant, steterunt) Et ait: Adolescens, tibi dico, surge.
15
Et resedit qui erat mortuus, et cœpit loqui. Et dedit illum matri suæ.
16
Accepit autem omnes timor: et magnificabant Deum, dicentes: Quia propheta magnus surrexit in nobis: et quia Deus visitavit plebem suam.
17
Et exiit hic sermo in universam Iudæam de eo, et in omnem circa regionem.
18
Et nunciaverunt Ioanni discipuli eius de omnibus his.
19
Et convocavit duos de discipulis suis Ioannes, et misit ad Iesum, dicens: Tu es qui venturus es, an alium expectamus?
20
Cum autem venissent ad eum viri, dixerunt: Ioannes Baptista misit nos ad te dicens: Tu es, qui venturus es, an alium expectamus?
21
(in ipsa autem hora multos curavit a languoribus, et plagis, et spiritibus malis, et cæcis multis donavit visum.)
22
Et respondens, dixit illis: Euntes renunciate Ioanni quæ audistis, et vidistis: Quia cæci vident, claudi ambulant, leprosi mundantur, surdi audiunt, mortui resurgunt, pauperes evangelizantur:
23
et beatus est quicumque non fuerit scandalizatus in me.
24
Et cum discessissent nuncii Ioannis, cœpit de Ioanne dicere ad turbas: Quid existis in desertum videre? arundinem vento agitatam?
25
Sed quid existis videre? hominem mollibus vestibus indutum? Ecce qui in veste pretiosa sunt et deliciis, in domibus regum sunt.
26
Sed quid existis videre? prophetam? Utique dico vobis, et plusquam Prophetam:
27
hic est, de quo scriptum est: Ecce mitto angelum meum ante faciem tuam, qui præparabit viam tuam ante te.
28
Dico enim vobis: Maior inter natos mulierum propheta Ioanne Baptista nemo est. qui autem minor est in regno Dei, maior est illo.
29
Et omnis populus audiens et publicani, iustificaverunt Deum, baptizati baptismo Ioannis.
30
Pharisæi autem, et legis periti consilium Dei spreverunt in semetipsos, non baptizati ab eo.
31
Ait autem Dominus: Cui ergo similes dicam homines generationis huius? et cui similes sunt?
32
Similes sunt pueris sedentibus in foro, et loquentibus adinvicem, et dicentibus: Cantavimus vobis tibiis, et non saltastis: lamentavimus, et non plorastis.
33
Venit enim Ioannes Baptista, neque manducans panem, neque bibens vinum, et dicitis: Dæmonium habet.
34
Venit Filius hominis manducans, et bibens, et dicitis: Ecce homo devorator, et bibens vinum, amicus publicanorum, et peccatorum.
35
Et iustificata est sapientia ab omnibus filiis suis.
36
Rogabat autem illum quidam de Pharisæis ut manducaret cum illo. Et ingressus domum Pharisæi discubuit.
37
Et ecce mulier, quæ erat in civitate peccatrix, ut cognovit quod accubuisset in domo Pharisæi, attulit alabastrum unguenti:
38
et stans retro secus pedes eius, lacrymis cœpit rigare pedes eius, et capillis capitis sui tergebat, et osculabatur pedes eius, et unguento ungebat.
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
Et respondens Iesus, dixit ad illum: Simon, habeo tibi aliquid dicere. At ille ait: Magister, dic.
41
Duo debitores erant cuidam fœneratori: unus debebat denarios quingentos, et alius quinquaginta.
42
Non habentibus illis unde redderent, donavit utrisque. Quis ergo eum plus diligit?
43
Respondens Simon dixit: Æstimo quia is, cui plus donavit. At ille dixit ei: Recte iudicasti.
44
Et conversus ad mulierem, dixit Simoni: Vides hanc mulierem? Intravi in domum tuam, aquam pedibus meis non dedisti: hæc autem lacrymis rigavit pedes meos, et capillis suis tersit.
45
Osculum mihi non dedisti: hæc autem ex quo intravit, non cessavit osculari pedes meos.
46
Oleo caput meum non unxisti: hæc autem unguento unxit pedes meos.
47
Propter quod dico tibi: Remittuntur ei peccata multa, quoniam dilexit multum. Cui autem minus dimittitur, minus diligit.
48
Dixit autem ad illam: Remittuntur tibi peccata.
49
Et cœperunt qui simul accumbebant, dicere intra se: Quis est hic, qui etiam peccata dimittit?
50
Dixit autem ad mulierem: Fides tua te salvam fecit: vade in pace.

1
After he had finished speaking in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
2
A certain centurion’s servant, who was dear to him, was sick and at the point of death.
3
When he heard about Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, asking him to come and save his servant.
4
When they came to Jesus, they begged him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy for you to do this for him,
5
for he loves our nation, and he built our synagogue for us.”
6
Jesus went with them. When he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, “Lord, don’t trouble yourself, for I am not worthy for you to come under my roof.
7
Therefore I didn’t even think myself worthy to come to you; but say the word, and my servant will be healed.
8
For I also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
9
When Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turned and said to the multitude who followed him, “I tell you, I have not found such great faith, no, not in Israel.”
10
Those who were sent, returning to the house, found that the servant who had been sick was well.
11
Soon afterwards, he went to a city called Nain. Many of his disciples, along with a great multitude, went with him.
12
Now when he came near to the gate of the city, behold, one who was dead was carried out, the only born son of his mother, and she was a widow. Many people of the city were with her.
13
When the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her and said to her, “Don’t cry.”
14
He came near and touched the coffin, and the bearers stood still. He said, “Young man, I tell you, arise!”
15
He who was dead sat up and began to speak. Then he gave him to his mother.
16
Fear took hold of all, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has arisen among us!” and, “God has visited his people!”
17
This report went out concerning him in the whole of Judea and in all the surrounding region.
18
The disciples of John told him about all these things.
19
John, calling to himself two of his disciples, sent them to Jesus, saying, “Are you the one who is coming, or should we look for another?”
20
When the men had come to him, they said, “John the Baptizer has sent us to you, saying, ‘Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?’”
21
In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and to many who were blind he gave sight.
22
Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John the things which you have seen and heard: that the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.
23
Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me.”
24
When John’s messengers had departed, he began to tell the multitudes about John, “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
25
But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft clothing? Behold, those who are gorgeously dressed and live delicately are in kings’ courts.
26
But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.
27
This is he of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’
28
“For I tell you, among those who are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptizer; yet he who is least in God’s Kingdom is greater than he.”
29
When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, they declared God to be just, having been baptized with John’s baptism.
30
But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God, not being baptized by him themselves.
31
“To what then should I compare the people of this generation? What are they like?
32
They are like children who sit in the marketplace and call to one another, saying, ‘We piped to you, and you didn’t dance. We mourned, and you didn’t weep.’
33
For John the Baptizer came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’
34
The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Behold, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’
35
Wisdom is justified by all her children.”
36
One of the Pharisees invited him to eat with him. He entered into the Pharisee’s house and sat at the table.
37
Behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that he was reclining in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster jar of ointment.
38
Standing behind at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and she wiped them with the hair of her head, kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
39
Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he said to himself, “This man, if he were a prophet, would have perceived who and what kind of woman this is who touches him, that she is a sinner.”
40
Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” He said, “Teacher, say on.”
41
“A certain lender had two debtors. The one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.
42
When they couldn’t pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most?”
43
Simon answered, “He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most.” He said to him, “You have judged correctly.”
44
Turning to the woman, he said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered into your house, and you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head.
45
You gave me no kiss, but she, since the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss my feet.
46
You didn’t anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment.
47
Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But one to whom little is forgiven, loves little.”
48
He said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
49
Those who sat at the table with him began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”
50
He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”

και απηγγειλαν ιωαννη οι μαθηται αυτου περι παντων τουτων
19
και προσκαλεσαμενος δυο τινας των μαθητων αυτου ο ιωαννης επεμψεν προς τον κυριον λεγων συ ει ο ερχομενος η ετερον προσδοκωμεν
20
παραγενομενοι δε προς αυτον οι ανδρες ειπαν ιωαννης ο βαπτιστης απεστειλεν ημας προς σε λεγων συ ει ο ερχομενος η αλλον προσδοκωμεν
21
εν εκεινη τη ωρα εθεραπευσεν πολλους απο νοσων και μαστιγων και πνευματων πονηρων και τυφλοις πολλοις εχαρισατο βλεπειν
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
23
και μακαριος εστιν ος εαν μη σκανδαλισθη εν εμοι
24
απελθοντων δε των αγγελων ιωαννου ηρξατο λεγειν προς τους οχλους περι ιωαννου τι εξηλθατε εις την ερημον θεασασθαι καλαμον υπο ανεμου σαλευομενον
25
αλλα τι εξηλθατε ιδειν ανθρωπον εν μαλακοις ιματιοις ημφιεσμενον ιδου οι εν ιματισμω ενδοξω και τρυφη υπαρχοντες εν τοις βασιλειοις εισιν
26
αλλα τι εξηλθατε ιδειν προφητην ναι λεγω υμιν και περισσοτερον προφητου
27
ουτος εστιν περι ου γεγραπται ιδου αποστελλω τον αγγελον μου προ προσωπου σου ος κατασκευασει την οδον σου εμπροσθεν σου
28
λεγω υμιν μειζων εν γεννητοις γυναικων ιωαννου ουδεις εστιν ο δε μικροτερος εν τη βασιλεια του θεου μειζων αυτου εστιν
29
και πας ο λαος ακουσας και οι τελωναι εδικαιωσαν τον θεον βαπτισθεντες το βαπτισμα ιωαννου
30
οι δε φαρισαιοι και οι νομικοι την βουλην του θεου ηθετησαν εις εαυτους μη βαπτισθεντες υπ αυτου
31
τινι ουν ομοιωσω τους ανθρωπους της γενεας ταυτης και τινι εισιν ομοιοι
32
ομοιοι εισιν παιδιοις τοις εν αγορα καθημενοις και προσφωνουσιν αλληλοις α λεγει ηυλησαμεν υμιν και ουκ ωρχησασθε εθρηνησαμεν και ουκ εκλαυσατε
33
εληλυθεν γαρ ιωαννης ο βαπτιστης μη εσθων αρτον μητε πινων οινον και λεγετε δαιμονιον εχει
34
εληλυθεν ο υιος του ανθρωπου εσθων και πινων και λεγετε ιδου ανθρωπος φαγος και οινοποτης φιλος τελωνων και αμαρτωλων
35
και εδικαιωθη η σοφια απο παντων των τεκνων αυτης
36
ηρωτα δε τις αυτον των φαρισαιων ινα φαγη μετ αυτου και εισελθων εις τον οικον του φαρισαιου κατεκλιθη
37
και ιδου γυνη ητις ην εν τη πολει αμαρτωλος και επιγνουσα οτι κατακειται εν τη οικια του φαρισαιου κομισασα αλαβαστρον μυρου
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
39
ιδων δε ο φαρισαιος ο καλεσας αυτον ειπεν εν εαυτω λεγων ουτος ει ην [ο] προφητης εγινωσκεν αν τις και ποταπη η γυνη ητις απτεται αυτου οτι αμαρτωλος εστιν
40
και αποκριθεις ο ιησους ειπεν προς αυτον σιμων εχω σοι τι ειπειν ο δε διδασκαλε ειπε φησιν
41
δυο χρεοφειλεται ησαν δανιστη τινι ο εις ωφειλεν δηναρια πεντακοσια ο δε ετερος πεντηκοντα
42
μη εχοντων αυτων αποδουναι αμφοτεροις εχαρισατο τις ουν αυτων πλειον αγαπησει αυτον
43
αποκριθεις σιμων ειπεν υπολαμβανω οτι ω το πλειον εχαρισατο ο δε ειπεν αυτω ορθως εκρινας
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
45
φιλημα μοι ουκ εδωκας αυτη δε αφ ης εισηλθον ου διελιπεν καταφιλουσα μου τους ποδας
46
ελαιω την κεφαλην μου ουκ ηλειψας αυτη δε μυρω ηλειψεν τους ποδας μου
47
ου χαριν λεγω σοι αφεωνται αι αμαρτιαι αυτης αι πολλαι οτι ηγαπησεν πολυ ω δε ολιγον αφιεται ολιγον αγαπα
48
ειπεν δε αυτη αφεωνται σου αι αμαρτιαι
49
και ηρξαντο οι συνανακειμενοι λεγειν εν εαυτοις τις ουτος εστιν ος και αμαρτιας αφιησιν
50
ειπεν δε προς την γυναικα η πιστις σου σεσωκεν σε πορευου εις ειρηνην

And when he completed all his sayings in the ears of the people, he went into Capernaum;
2
and a certain centurion's servant being ill, was about to die, who was much valued by him,
3
and having heard about Jesus, he sent unto him elders of the Jews, beseeching him, that having come he might thoroughly save his servant.
4
And they, having come near unto Jesus, were calling upon him earnestly, saying--`He is worthy to whom thou shalt do this,
5
for he doth love our nation, and the synagogue he did build to us.'
6
And Jesus was going on with them, and now when he is not far distant from the house the centurion sent unto him friends, saying to him, `Sir, be not troubled, for I am not worthy that under my roof thou mayest enter;
7
wherefore not even myself thought I worthy to come unto thee, but say in a word, and my lad shall be healed;
8
for I also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers, and I say to this <FI>one<Fi> , Go, and he goeth; and to another, Be coming, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doth <FI>it<Fi> .'
9
And having heard these things Jesus wondered at him, and having turned to the multitude following him, he said, `I say to you, not even in Israel so much faith did I find;'
10
and those sent, having turned back to the house, found the ailing servant in health.
11
And it came to pass, on the morrow, he was going on to a city called Nain, and there were going with him many of his disciples, and a great multitude,
12
and as he came nigh to the gate of the city, then, lo, one dead was being carried forth, an only son of his mother, and she a widow, and a great multitude of the city was with her.
13
And the Lord having seen her, was moved with compassion towards her, and said to her, `Be not weeping;'
14
and having come near, he touched the bier, and those bearing <FI>it<Fi> stood still, and he said, `Young man, to thee I say, Arise;'
15
and the dead sat up, and began to speak, and he gave him to his mother;
16
and fear took hold of all, and they were glorifying God, saying--`A great prophet hath risen among us,' and--`God did look upon His people.'
17
And the account of this went forth in all Judea about him, and in all the region around.
18
And the disciples of John told him about all these things,
19
and John having called near a certain two of his disciples, sent unto Jesus, saying, `Art thou he who is coming, or for another do we look?'
20
And having come near to him, the men said, `John the Baptist sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he who is coming, or for another do we look?'
21
And in that hour he cured many from sicknesses, and plagues, and evil spirits, and to many blind he granted sight.
22
And Jesus answering said to them, `Having gone on, report to John what ye saw and heard, that blind men do see again, lame do walk, lepers are cleansed, deaf do hear, dead are raised, poor have good news proclaimed;
23
and happy is he whoever may not be stumbled in me.'
24
And the messengers of John having gone away, he began to say unto the multitudes concerning John: `What have ye gone forth to the wilderness to look on? a reed by the wind shaken?
25
but what have ye gone forth to see? a man in soft garments clothed? lo, they in splendid apparellings, and living in luxury, are in the houses of kings!
26
`But what have ye gone forth to see? a prophet? Yes, I say to you, and much more than a prophet:
27
this is he concerning whom it hath been written, Lo, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee;
28
for I say to you, a greater prophet, among those born of women, than John the Baptist there is not; but the least in the reign of God is greater than he.'
29
And all the people having heard, and the tax-gatherers, declared God righteous, having been baptized with the baptism of John,
30
but the Pharisees, and the lawyers, the counsel of God did put away for themselves, not having been baptized by him.
31
And the Lord said, `To what, then, shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?
32
they are like to children, to those sitting in a market-place, and calling one to another, and saying, We piped to you, and ye did not dance, we mourned to you, and ye did not weep!
33
`For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and ye say, He hath a demon;
34
the Son of Man came eating and drinking, and ye say, Lo, a man, a glutton, and a wine drinker, a friend of tax-gatherers and sinners;
35
and the wisdom was justified from all her children.'
36
And a certain one of the Pharisees was asking him that he might eat with him, and having gone into the house of the Pharisee he reclined (at meat),
37
and lo, a woman in the city, who was a sinner, having known that he reclineth (at meat) in the house of the Pharisee, having provided an alabaster box of ointment,
38
and having stood behind, beside his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with the tears, and with the hairs of her head she was wiping, and was kissing his feet, and was anointing with the ointment.
39
And the Pharisee who did call him, having seen, spake within himself, saying, `This one, if he were a prophet, would have known who and of what kind <FI>is<Fi> the woman who doth touch him, that she is a sinner.'
40
And Jesus answering said unto him, `Simon, I have something to say to thee;' and he saith, `Teacher, say on.'
41
`Two debtors were to a certain creditor; the one was owing five hundred denaries, and the other fifty;
42
and they not having <FI>wherewith<Fi> to give back, he forgave both; which then of them, say thou, will love him more?'
43
And Simon answering said, `I suppose that to whom he forgave the more;' and he said to him, `Rightly thou didst judge.'
44
And having turned unto the woman, he said to Simon, `Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house; water for my feet thou didst not give, but this woman with tears did wet my feet, and with the hairs of her head did wipe;
45
a kiss to me thou didst not give, but this woman, from what <FI>time<Fi> I came in, did not cease kissing my feet;
46
with oil my head thou didst not anoint, but this woman with ointment did anoint my feet;
47
therefore I say to thee, her many sins have been forgiven, because she did love much; but to whom little is forgiven, little he doth love.'
48
And he said to her, `Thy sins have been forgiven;'
49
and those reclining with him (at meat) began to say within themselves, `Who is this, who also doth forgive sins?'
50
and he said unto the woman, `Thy faith have saved thee, be going on to peace.'

A long, long time ago, there was nothing at all - no earth, no sky, no animals, no people. It was all dark and empty. But God was there! God is so powerful that He can make anything just by speaking. So God said "Let there be light!" and BOOM! There was light everywhere! God saw that the light was beautiful and good. He called the light "day" and the darkness "night." This was the very first day when God started making our wonderful world!
Explain Like I'm 10
Before anything existed - no planets, stars, or life - God decided to create the universe. The earth started out as a dark, empty place covered with water. But God's Spirit was there, ready to bring order and beauty to everything. When God spoke and said "Let there be light," light immediately appeared because God's words have incredible power. God looked at the light and was pleased with what He had made. He organized time by separating light (day) from darkness (night), creating the first 24-hour period. This shows us that God is organized and purposeful in everything He does.

Genesis 1:1-5 establishes fundamental theological truths about God and creation. The Hebrew word "bara" (created) indicates creation from nothing (ex nihilo), demonstrating God's absolute sovereignty and power. The phrase "without form and void" (tohu wa-bohu) describes a state of chaos that God transforms into order. The Spirit of God "hovering" or "brooding" over the waters suggests active, caring involvement in creation. The creation of light before the sun (created on day 4) indicates that God Himself is the ultimate source of light and energy. The establishment of day and night creates the framework of time, showing that God operates within orderly patterns while transcending them. This passage refutes both atheistic materialism and pantheism, establishing that God is both transcendent (separate from creation) and immanent (actively involved in it).
