Lukas 7

1 Men der han havde fuldendt al sin Tale i Folkets Paahør, gik han ind i Capernaum.2 Men en Høvedmands Tjener, som denne holdt meget af, var syg og nær ved at døe.3 Men der han hørte om Jesus sendte han nogle af Jødernes Ældste til ham, og han vilde komme og helbrede hans Tjener.4 Men der de kom til Jesus, bade de ham flitteligen og sagde: han er vel værd, at du gjør ham dette;5 thi han elsker vort Folk og har bygget os vor Synagoge.6 Da gik Jesus med dem; men der han nu ikke var langt fra Huset, sendte Høvedsmanden nogle af sine Venner til ham og lod ham sige: Herre! umag dig ikke; thi jeg er ikke værd, at du gaaer ind under mit Tag.7 Derfor agtede jeg heller ikke mig selv værdig at komme til dig; men siig det med et Ord, da bliver min Dreng helbredet.8 Thi jeg er og et Menneske, Øvrigheden undergiven, som har Stridsmænd under mig; og siger jeg til denne: gak! saa gaaer han; og til den anden; kom! saa kommer han; og til min Tjener: gjør det! saa gjør han det.9 Men der Jesus hørte det, forundrede han sig over ham; og han vendte sig om og sagde til Folket, som ham fulgte: jeg siger Eder, saa stor en Tro har jeg end ikke fundet i Israel.10 Og der de, som vare udsendte kom tilbage til Huset, fandt de den syge Tjener karsk.11 Og det begav sig Dagen derefter, at han gik til en Stad, som hedte Nain, og der gik mange af hans Disciple med ham og meget Folk.12 Men der han kom nær til Stadens Port, see, da blev en Død udbaaren, som var sin Moders eenbaarne Søn, og hun var en Enke; og meget Folk af Staden gik med hende.13 Og der Herren saae hende, ynkedes han inderligen over hende og sagde til hende: græd ikke.14 Og han traadte til og rørte ved Baaren, (men de, som bare, stode stille), og han sagde: du unge Karl, jeg siger dig, staae op!15 Og den Døde reiste sig op og begyndte at tale; og han gav hans Moder ham.16 Men en Frygt betog Alle, og de prisede Gud og sagde: der er en stor Prophet opreist iblandt os, og Gud har besøgt sit Folk.17 Og denne Tale om ham kom ud i det ganske Judæa og i alt det omkringliggende Land.18 Og Johannes' Disciple forkyndte ham om alt dette. Og Johannes kaldte to af sine Disciple til sig,19 og sendte dem til Jesus og lod sige: er du den, som kommer eller skulle vi vente en anden?20 Men der disse Mænd kom til ham, sagde de: Johannes den Døber har sendt os til dig og lader sige: er du den, som kommer, eller skulle vi vente en anden?21 Men i den samme Time helbredte han Mange fra Sygdomme og Plager og onde Aander og skjenkte mange Blinde Synet.22 Og Jesus svarede og sagde til dem: gaaer bort, og forkynder Johannes, hvad I have seet og hørt: Blinde see, Halte gaae, Spedalske renses, Døve høre, Døde staae op, Evangelium prædikes for de Fattige;23 og salig er den, som ikke forarges paa mig.24 Men der Johannes' Bud gik bort, begyndte han at tale til Folket og Johannes: hvad ere I udgangne i Ørken at see? et Rør, som bevæges af Veiret?25 Elle hvad ere I udgangne at see? et Menneske, iført bløde Klæder? See, de, som leve i herlige Klæder og i Vellyst, ere i Kongers Gaarde.26 Eller hvad ere I udgangne at see? en Prophet? Ja, jeg siger Eder, mere end en Prophet.27 Han er den, om hvem der er skrevet: see, jeg sender min Engel for dit Ansigt; han skal berede din Vei for dig.28 Thi jeg siger Eder: iblandt dem, som ere fødte af Kvinder, er ingen større Prophet end Johannes den Døber; men den Mindste i Guds Rige er større end han.29 Og alt Folket, som han hørte, endog Tolderne, gave Gud Æren og bleve døbte med Johannes' Daab.30 Men Pharisæerne og de Lovkyndige foragtede Guds Raad med dem og bleve ikke døbte af ham.31 Men Herren sagde: hvem skal jeg derfor ligne denne Slægts Mennesker ved? og hvem ere de lige?32 De ere de smaa Børn lige, som sidde paa Torvet og raabe til hverandre og sige: vi fløitede for Eder og I vilde ikke danse, vi sang klageligen for Eder, og I vilde ikke græde.33 Thi Johannes den Døber kom og hverken aad Brød, ei heller drak Viin, og I sige: han har Djævelen.34 Menneskens Søn er kommen, æder og drikker, og I sige: see, en Fraadser og en Viindranker, Tolderes og Synderes Ven!35 Dog Viisdommen er retfærdiggjort af alle sine Børn.36 Men En af Pharisæerne bad ham, at han vilde æde med ham; og han gik ind i Pharisæernes Huus og sad tilbords.37 Og see, der var en Kvinde i Staden, som var en Synderinde; der hun fornam, at han sad tilbords i Pharisæerens Huus, hentede hun en Alabaster-Krukke med Salve;38 og hun stod bagved hos hans Fødder, græd og begyndte at væde hans Fødder med Taarer og aftørrede dem med sit Hovedhaar og kyssede hans Fødder og salvede dem med Salve.39 Men der Pharisæeren, som havde budet ham, saae det, talede han ved sig selv og sagde: dersom denne var en Prophet, vidste han jo, hvo og hvordan en Kvinde denne er, som rører ved ham; thi hun er en Synderinde.40 Og Jesus svarede og sagde til ham: Simon! jeg har Noget at sige dig.41 Jesus sagde: en Mand, som udlaante Penge, havde to Skyldnere; den ene var ham femhundrede Penninge skyldig, men den anden halvtredsindstyve.42 Men der de havde ikke at betale med, gav han dem begge det efter. Siig: hvilken af dem skal derfor elske ham meest?43 Men Simon svarede og sagde: jeg holder for, den, som han eftergav meest. Men han sagde til ham: du dømte ret.44 Og han vendte sig til Kvinden, og sagde til Simon: seer du denne Kvinde? Jeg kom ind i dit Huus; du har ikke givet mig Vand til mine Fødder, men denne vædede mine Fødder med Graad og tørrede dem af med sit Hovedhaar.45 Du gav mig intet Kys; men denne aflod ikke, fra hun kom ind, at kysse mine Fødder.46 Du salvede ikke mit Hoved med Olie; men hun salvede mine Fødder med Salve.47 Derfor siger jeg dig, ere hendes mange Synder hende forladne; thi hun elskede meget; men hvem Lidet forlades, elsker lidet.48 Men han sagde til hende: dine Synder ere forladne!49 Da begyndte de, som sadde tilbors med ham, at sige ved sig selv: hvo er denne, som endog forlader Synder?50 Men han sagde til Kvinden: din Tro har frelst dig, gak bort med Fred.

Luke 7

Healing the Centurion’s Slave

1 After Jesust had finished teaching all this to the people,t he entered Capernaum.ss2 A centurions theret had a slavet who was highly regarded,t but who was sick and at the point of death.3 When the centuriont heardt about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elderss to him, asking him to comet and heal his slave.4 Whent they camet to Jesus, they urgedt him earnestly,t “He is worthyt to have you do this for him,5 because he loves our nation,t and event built our synagogue.”s6 Sot Jesus went with them. Whent he was not far from the house, the centurions sent friends to say to him, “Lord, do not trouble yourself,t for I am not worthys to have you come under my roof.7 That is whyt I did not presumet to come to you. Instead, say the word, and my servant must be healed.st8 For I too am a man set under authority, with soldiers under me.t I say to this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes,s and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes, and to my slave, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”t9 When Jesus heard this, he was amazedt at him. He turned and said to the crowd that followed him, “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such faith!”s

10 Sot when those who had been sent returned to the house, they found the slaves well.

Raising a Widow’s Son

11 Soont afterwards Jesust went to a townt called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went with him.12 As he approached the town gate, a mant who had died was being carried out,t the only son of his mother (whot was a widows), and a large crowd from the townt was with her.13 Whent the Lord saw her, he had compassions for her and said to her, “Do not weep.”t14 Thent he came upt and toucheds the bier,s and those who carried it stood still. Het said, “Young man, I say to you, get up!”15 Sot the dead mant sat up and began to speak, and Jesust gave him backt to his mother.16 Feart seized them all, and they began to glorifyt God, saying, “A great prophets has appearedt among us!” and “God has come to helpt his people!”

17 Thist reports about Jesust circulatedt throughoutt Judea and all the surrounding country.

Jesus and John the Baptist

18 John’st disciples informed him about all these things. Sot John calledt two of his disciples19 and sent them to Jesuss to ask,t “Are you the one who is to come,s or should we look for another?”20 Whent the men came to Jesus,t they said, “John the Baptist has sent us to you to ask,t ‘Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?’”t21 At that very timet Jesust cured many people of diseases, sicknesses,t and evil spirits, and grantedt sight to many who were blind.22 Sot he answered them,t “Go tells John what you have seen and heard:s The blind see, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, thet deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have good news proclaimed to them.

23 Blessed is anyonet who takes no offense at me.”
24 Whent John’s messengers had gone, Jesust began to speak to the crowds about John: “What did you go out into the wildernesst to see? A reed shaken by the wind?t25 Whatt did you go out to see? A man dressed in fancyt clothes?s Look, those who wear fancy clothes and live in luxuryt are in kings’ courts!t26 What did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and moret than a prophet.27 This is the one about whom it is written, ‘Look, I am sending my messenger ahead of you,twho will prepare your way before you.’s28 I tell you, among those born of women no one is greaters than John.s Yet the one who is leasts in the kingdom of Gods is greater than he is.”29 (Nowt all the people who heard this, even the tax collectors,s acknowledgedt God’s justice, because they had been baptizedt with John’s baptism.

30 However, the Phariseess and the experts in religious lawt rejected God’s purposet for themselves, because they had not been baptizedt by John.t)s
31 “To what then should I compare the peoplet of this generation, and what are they like?

32 They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling out to one another,t
‘We played the flute for you, yet you did not dance;s
we wailed in mourning,t yet you did not weep.’
33 For John the Baptist has comet eating no bread and drinking no wine,t and you say, ‘He has a demon!’s34 The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look at him,t a glutton and a drunk, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’s

35 But wisdom is vindicatedt by all her children.”t

Jesus’ Anointing

36 Now one of the Phariseess asked Jesust to have dinner with him, sot he went into the Pharisee’s house and took his place at the table.t37 Thent when a woman of that town, who was a sinner, learned that Jesust was diningt at the Pharisee’s house, she brought an alabaster jars of perfumed oil.ts38 Ast she stoodt behind him at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears. Shet wiped them with her hair,t kissedt them,t and anointeds them with the perfumed oil.39 Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw this,t he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet,t he would know who and what kind of womans this is who is touching him, that she is a sinner.”40 Sot Jesus answered him,ts “Simon, I have something to say to you.” He replied,t “Say it, Teacher.”41 “A certain creditors had two debtors; one owed himt five hundred silver coins,ts and the other fifty.42 When they could not pay, he canceledt the debts of both. Now which of them will love him more?”43 Simon answered,t “I suppose the one who had the bigger debt canceled.”t Jesust said to him, “You have judged rightly.”44 Then,t turning toward the woman, he said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered your house. You gave me no water for my feet,s but she has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.45 You gave me no kiss of greeting,t but from the time I entered she has not stopped kissing my feet.46 You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feets with perfumed oil.47 Therefore I tell you, her sins, which were many, are forgiven, thus she loved much;ts but the one who is forgiven little loves little.”48 Thent Jesust said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”s49 Butt those who were at the tablet with him began to say among themselves, “Who is this, who even forgives sins?”

50 Het said to the woman, “Your faiths has saved you;s go in peace.”
