H. John Baptist's Question

↑ Lk 7 1–6a επειδη επληρωσεν παντα τα ρηματα αυτου εις τας ακοας του λαου εισηλθεν εις καφαρναουμ

Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum.

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 ready to die.

3 ακουσας δε περι του ιησου απεστειλεν προς αυτον πρεσβυτερους των ιουδαιων ερωτων αυτον οπως ελθων διασωση τον δουλον αυτου

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.

4 οι δε παραγενομενοι προς τον ιησουν παρεκαλουν αυτον σπουδαιως λεγοντες οτι αξιος εστιν ω παρεξη τουτο

And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:

5 αγαπα γαρ το εθνος ημων και την συναγωγην αυτος ωκοδομησεν ημιν

For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.

6a ο δε ιησους επορευετο συν αυτοις ...

Then Jesus went with them. ↓ 

↑ Lk 7 6b–8 ... 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 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 enter under my roof:

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 in a word, and my servant shall be healed.

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 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. ↓ 

↑ Lk 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

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. ↓ 

↑ Lk 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 that had been sick. ↓ 

↑ Lk 7 11–15 και εγενετο εν τω εξης επορευθη εις πολιν καλουμενην ναιν και συνεπορευοντο αυτω οι μαθηται αυτου και οχλος πολυς

And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much people.

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 came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.

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.

14 και προσελθων ηψατο της σορου οι δε βασταζοντες εστησαν και ειπεν νεανισκε σοι λεγω εγερθητι

And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.

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 delivered him to his mother. ↓ 

↑ Lk 7 16–17 ελαβεν δε φοβος παντας και εδοξαζον τον θεον λεγοντες οτι προφητης μεγας ηγερθη εν ημιν και οτι επεσκεψατο ο θεος τον λαον αυτου

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.

17 και εξηλθεν ο λογος ουτος εν ολη τη ιουδαια περι αυτου και παση τη περιχωρω

And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judæa, and throughout all the region round about. ↓ 

↑ Lk 7 18–21 και απηγγειλαν ιωαννη οι μαθηται αυτου περι παντων τουτων

And the disciples of John shewed him of all these things.

19 και προσκαλεσαμενος δυο τινας των μαθητων αυτου ο ιωαννης επεμψεν προς τον κυριον λεγων συ ει ο ερχομενος η αλλον προσδοκωμεν

And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?

20 παραγενομενοι δε προς αυτον οι ανδρες ειπαν ιωαννης ο βαπτιστης απεστειλεν ημας προς σε λεγων συ ει ο ερχομενος η αλλον προσδοκωμεν

When the men 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?

21 εν εκεινη τη ωρα εθεραπευσεν πολλους απο νοσων και μαστιγων και πνευματων πονηρων και τυφλοις πολλοις εχαρισατο βλεπειν

And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many that were blind he gave sight. ↓ 

↑ Lk 7 22–23 και αποκριθεις ειπεν αυτοις πορευθεντες απαγγειλατε ιωαννη α ειδετε και ηκουσατε τυφλοι αναβλεπουσιν χωλοι περιπατουσιν λεπροι καθαριζονται και κωφοι ακουουσιν νεκροι εγειρονται πτωχοι ευαγγελιζονται

Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached.

23 και μακαριος εστιν ος εαν μη σκανδαλισθη εν εμοι

And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me. ↓ 

↑ Lk 7 24–26 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 speak unto the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind?

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 for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings' courts.

26 αλλα τι εξηλθατε ιδειν προφητην ναι λεγω υμιν και περισσοτερον προφητου

But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet. ↓ 

↑ Lk 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, which shall prepare thy way before thee. ↓ 

↑ Lk 7 28 λεγω υμιν μειζων εν γεννητοις γυναικων ιωαννου ουδεις εστιν ο δε μικροτερος εν τη βασιλεια του θεου μειζων αυτου εστιν

For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he. ↓ 

↑ Lk 7 29–30 και πας ο λαος ακουσας και οι τελωναι εδικαιωσαν τον θεον βαπτισθεντες το βαπτισμα ιωαννου

And all the people that heard him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.

30 οι δε φαρισαιοι και οι νομικοι την βουλην του θεου ηθετησαν εις εαυτους μη βαπτισθεντες υπ αυτου

But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him. ↓ 

↑ Lk 7 31–35 τινι ουν ομοιωσω τους ανθρωπους της γενεας ταυτης και τινι εισιν ομοιοι

And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?

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 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, and ye have not wept.

33 εληλυθεν γαρ ιωαννης ο βαπτιστης μη εσθιων αρτον μητε πινων οινον και λεγετε δαιμονιον εχει

For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil.

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!

35 και εδικαιωθη η σοφια απο παντων των τεκνων αυτης

But wisdom is justified of all her children. ↓ 

↑ Lk 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 went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat. ↓ 

↑ Lk 7 37–38 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 in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,

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 stood at his feet 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. ↓ 

↑ Lk 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 which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner. ↓ 

↑ Lk 7 40–43 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, Master, say on.

41 δυο χρεοφειλεται ησαν δανιστη τινι ο εις ωφειλεν δηναρια πεντακοσια ο δε ετερος πεντηκοντα

There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.

42 μη εχοντων αυτων αποδουναι αμφοτεροις εχαρισατο τις ουν αυτων πλειον αγαπησει αυτον

And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?

43 αποκριθεις σιμων ειπεν υπολαμβανω οτι ω το πλειον εχαρισατο ο δε ειπεν αυτω ορθως εκρινας

Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged. ↓ 

↑ Lk 7 44–46 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 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.

45 φιλημα μοι ουκ εδωκας αυτη δε αφ ης εισηλθον ου διελιπεν καταφιλουσα μου τους ποδας

Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet.

46 ελαιω την κεφαλην μου ουκ ηλειψας αυτη δε μυρω ηλειψεν τους ποδας μου

My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment. ↓ 

↑ Lk 7 47–50 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.

48 ειπεν δε αυτη αφεωνται σου αι αμαρτιαι

And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.

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 forgiveth sins also?

50 ειπεν δε προς την γυναικα η πιστις σου σεσωκεν σε πορευου εις ειρηνην

And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace. ↓ 

↑ Lk 8 1–3 και εγενετο εν τω καθεξης και αυτος διωδευεν κατα πολιν και κωμην κηρυσσων και ευαγγελιζομενος την βασιλειαν του θεου και οι δωδεκα συν αυτω

And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him,

2 και γυναικες τινες αι ησαν τεθεραπευμεναι απο πνευματων πονηρων και ασθενειων μαρια η καλουμενη μαγδαληνη αφ ης δαιμονια επτα εξεληλυθει

And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,

3 και ιωαννα γυνη χουζα επιτροπου ηρωδου και σουσαννα και ετεραι πολλαι αιτινες διηκονουν αυτοις εκ των υπαρχοντων αυταις

And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance. ↓
