Luke Chapter 7

Luke 7

Jesus saves the Centurion and his servant was automatically healed 

@capernaum

1 Moreover, since He has completed all His utterances unto the hearing of the people, He enters into Capernaum.

2 And a servant of a certain Centurion (captain of hundred soldiers), who was precious to him, was sick, and about to die, 

3 so, having heard about Jesus, he sends Jews-Sahendrists to Him, begging Him to come, so that, He will save his servant.

4 So they come near to Jesus, and beg Him earnestly, saying, that he deserves whom to be afforded this.

5 because, being of non-Jewish nation, he loves us, and he has built the synagogue for us.

6 So, Jesus walks together with them; but now, not far away from the house to receive Him, the Centurion sends friends, to tell Him, Lord, never trouble yourself, because, I am not at least fit, that You should enters under my roof;

7 consequently, not even myself is fit to have come to You; but by speaking words, even my servant will be healed. 

8 because, I am a man that assign to soldiers under me by authority; and I will tell this person, depart, and he departs; and to another come, and he comes; and to my servant do this, and he does it.

9 So, as Jesus heard this thing, it marvels Him; and He turns around to the crowd, who are following Him, and says, I tell you, I have not even found, so vast/so much Faith as this, in Isreal.

10 And those dispatched, return to the house, and find the sick-servant to be healthy.

The son of a Widow of Nain was raised 

11 And it happens to be, in successive days, He travels to a town called Nain, and His competent (hikanos) disciples and many crowd journey together with Him.

12 so, as He approaches the gate of the town, behold, even a dead body was being carried out, the only begotten son of his mother; and she has been a widow, and comptent ones from the crowd of the town, were together with her.

13 And as the Lord saw her, He was moved with compassion upon her, and tells her, weep not.

14 And He came near, and touched the coffin; so, those carrying it, stand still. And He says, young man, I tell you, Rise up!

15 He begins to preach that the dead will be rebuilt/reseated-up and be given to their mother.

16 but, fear get hold of all, and they glorify God, saying, what a mega prophet that rises up within us! And, what a people that their God has visited!

17 And these words about Him spread abroad in all Judea, and all surrounding regions.

John the baptizer sent two of his disciples from prison to question the Savior.

18 And disciples of John also announce these things concerning Him.

19 So, John summons certain two of his disciples, and dispatches them to the Lord, saying, are You the One coming? Or to anticipate for another?

20 So, the men who happen to be from him, says, John the baptizer sends us to You, saying, are You the One coming? Or to anticipate for another?

21 in that hour, He gratuitously ministers healing to many (people) from their diseases and plagues, and evil-spirits, and many blind can see.

22 And He answered and tells them, go forth, and announce to John, those things which you see and hear: the blind receive sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed; and the deaf hear, the dead rise up, the poor are evangelized.

23 And supremely blessed is he, who in case, will not be enticed into apostasy (scandalized) in Me.

Jesus speaks well of John, who was His fellow-destined brother, in spite of his doubtful mind

24 However, as the messengers (angelon) of John gone away, He begins to speak to the crowd concerning John: what have you proceeded forth into the desert to closely look at? Is it a stem shaking under wind?

25 but, who (did you) proceeded forth to see? was he a man clothed in soft-garments? But, behold, glorious/honorable sub-rulers in luxurious/tender clothing are in the palace. 

26 who (did you) proceeded forth to discern? Is he a prophet? Yes, I tell you, on the contrary, He is a superior prophet.

27 This is the one about whom it was written, behold, I send My messenger, in front of Your Face, who will thoroughly prepare Your way before You. (Mal 3:1)

28 I tell you, among the Great ones, born of women, no man is as John; but the small in dignity in the kingdom of God, will be Great as him.

29 And all the people, even the tax collectors who listen and were baptized by the baptisma of John have been justified by God. 

30 but the Pharisees and experts in Mosaic law have rejected the purpose of GOD unto themselves, by not being baptized under him.

31 [and the Lord says] therefore unto what will I liken the men of this generation? And to what are they like?

32 They are like little children sitting in town square, and call to one another, saying, we play flute to you, and you do not dance, we mourn, and you do not weep.

33 for, John the baptizer had come, who neither ate bread, nor drank wine, and you say, He had demon.

34 the Son has come to men, eating and drinking, and you say, behold a man, a glutton and tippler, a friend of sinful tax-collectors.

35 So, the Wisdom is to justify HIS children from everybody.

Mary, the sister of Martha expressed selfless-Love to Jesus in the house of Simeon, a Pharisee (who was a son of a leper) 

@Bethany 

36 Also, a certain Pharisee beseech Him, at least to eat with him, and as He enters into the Pharisee's house, He recline for a meal. 

37 And behold, a woman in the town, who was a sinner, perceived that He sits at meal in the Pharisee's house. And she carries an alabaster-flask of myrrh-perfume.

38 and she set behind near His feet, weeping as she begins to wash His feet with her tears, and to wipe them dry by the hairs of her head, and she kisses His feet earnestly, and anoint Him with myrrh perfumed-ointment.

39 but, the Pharisee, who invited Him, see it, and speak in himself, saying, if this man has been a prophet, He should have known who and what kind of woman that was touching Him, because she is a sinner.

40 And Jesus answers and says to him, Simon, I have to tell you something, and he says, Teacher, make your thought known.

A Parable of two forgiven debtors: the more your debt forgiven, of course, the more your love 

41 there are two debtors to a certain lender; one owes five hundred denarii; and the other, fifty.

42 they have nothing to pay, and both are pardoned gratuitously (charizomai). Therefore, which of them will Love him the most?

43 Simon answers, and say, taking it up, it is whom, he gratuitously pardons the most. So He said, you have judged (mentally decide) correctly.

The Corollary of the parable is that: she first loved so much, thus she will be forgiven very much. 

44 And He turns around to the woman, to make His thought known to Simon, look at this woman? I entered into your house; no water is given to Me for feet (washing); but this woman has rained tears on My feet and wipe them dry with her hair.

45 as I entered, no kiss was given to Me, but from this one, who has never ceased to earnestly kiss My feet.

46 You did not anoint My Head with olive oil; but she anoints My feet with perfumed myrrh ointment.

47 And whom by grace, I tell you, her plenteous sins has been forgiven, because, she loves much. But, whoever also love little, will be forgiven little.

48 So, He tells her, I let you go of your sins.

49 And those sitting at the table begin to say within themselves, who is this who even forgive sins?

50 Moreso, He says to the woman, your Faith saves you; go forth in Peace.
