KJVWhereforeG1352 neitherG3761 thought IG515 myselfG1683 worthyG515(G5656) to comeG2064(G5629) untoG4314 theeG4571: butG235 sayG2036(G5628) in a wordG3056, andG2532 myG3450 servantG3816 shall be healedG2390(G5701).
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.”
KJVForG1063 IG1473 alsoG2532 amG1510(G5748) a manG444 setG5021(G5746) underG5259 authorityG1849, havingG2192(G5723) underG5259 meG1683 soldiersG4757, andG2532 I sayG3004(G5719) unto oneG5129, GoG4198(G5676), andG2532 he goethG4198(G5736); andG2532 to anotherG243, ComeG2064(G5736), andG2532 he comethG2064(G5736); andG2532 to myG3450 servantG1401, DoG4160(G5657) thisG5124, andG2532 he doethG4160(G5719) it.

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.
KJVThenG2532 JesusG2424 answeringG611(G5679) saidG2036(G5627) unto themG846, Go your wayG4198(G5679), and tellG518(G5657) JohnG2491 what thingsG3739 ye have seenG1492(G5627) andG2532 heardG191(G5656); howG3754 that the blindG5185 seeG308(G5719), the lameG5560 walkG4043(G5719), the lepersG3015 are cleansedG2511(G5743), the deafG2974 hearG191(G5719), the deadG3498 are raisedG1453(G5743), to the poorG4434 the gospel is preachedG2097(G5743).

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?
KJVAndG1161 when the messengersG32 of JohnG2491 were departedG565(G5631), he beganG756(G5662) to speakG3004(G5721) untoG4314 the peopleG3793 concerningG4012 JohnG2491, WhatG5101 went ye outG1831(G5758) intoG1519 the wildernessG2048 for to seeG2300(G5664)? A reedG2563 shakenG4531(G5746) withG5259 the windG417?
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.
KJVButG235 whatG5101 went ye outG1831(G5758) for to seeG1492(G5629)? A manG444 clothedG294(G5772) inG1722 softG3120 raimentG2440? BeholdG2400(G5628), they which areG1722 gorgeouslyG1741 apparelledG2441, andG2532 liveG5225(G5723) delicatelyG5172, areG1526(G5748) inG1722 kings' courtsG933.
26 But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.
KJVButG235 whatG5101 went ye outG1831(G5758) for to seeG1492(G5629)? A prophetG4396? YeaG3483, I sayG3004(G5719) unto youG5213, andG2532 much moreG4055 than a prophetG4396.
27 This is he of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’
KJVThisG3778 isG2076(G5748) he, ofG4012 whomG3739 it is writtenG1125(G5769), BeholdG2400(G5628), IG1473 sendG649(G5719) myG3450 messengerG32 beforeG4253 thyG4675 faceG4383, whichG3739 shall prepareG2680(G5692) thyG4675 wayG3598 beforeG1715 theeG4675.
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.”
KJVForG1063 I sayG3004(G5719) unto youG5213, AmongG1722 those that are bornG1084 of womenG1135 there isG2076(G5748) notG3762 a greaterG3187 prophetG4396 thanG3187 JohnG2491 the BaptistG910: butG1161 he that is leastG3398 inG1722 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 isG2076(G5748) greater thanG3187 heG846.
29 When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, they declared God to be just, having been baptized with John’s baptism.
KJVAndG2532 allG3956 the peopleG2992 that heardG191(G5660) him, andG2532 the publicansG5057, justifiedG1344(G5656) GodG2316, being baptizedG907(G5685) with the baptismG908 of JohnG2491.
30 But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God, not being baptized by him themselves.
KJVButG1161 the PhariseesG5330 andG2532 lawyersG3544 rejectedG114(G5656) the counselG1012 of GodG2316 againstG1519 themselvesG1438, beingG907 notG3361 baptizedG907(G5685) ofG5259 himG846.
31 “To what then should I compare the people of this generation? What are they like?
KJVAndG1161 the LordG2962 saidG2036(G5627), WhereuntoG5101 thenG3767 shall I likenG3666(G5692) the menG444 of thisG5026 generationG1074? andG2532 to whatG5101 are theyG1526(G5748) likeG3664?
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.’
KJVThey areG1526(G5748) likeG3664 unto childrenG3813 sittingG2521(G5740) inG1722 the marketplaceG58, andG2532 callingG4377(G5719)(G5723) one to anotherG240, andG2532 sayingG3004(G5719)(G5723), We have pipedG832(G5656) unto youG5213, andG2532 ye haveG3738 notG3756 dancedG3738(G5662); we have mournedG2354(G5656) to youG5213, andG2532 ye haveG2799 notG3756 weptG2799(G5656).
33 For John the Baptizer came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’
KJVForG1063 JohnG2491 the BaptistG910 cameG2064(G5754) neitherG3383 eatingG2068(G5723) breadG740 norG3383 drinkingG4095(G5723) wineG3631; andG2532 ye sayG3004(G5719), He hathG2192(G5719) a devilG1140.
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!’
KJVThe SonG5207 of manG444 is comeG2064(G5754) eatingG2068(G5723) andG2532 drinkingG4095(G5723); andG2532 ye sayG3004(G5719), BeholdG2400(G5628) a gluttonousG5314 manG444, andG2532 a winebibberG3630, a friendG5384 of publicansG5057 andG2532 sinnersG268!
35 Wisdom is justified by all her children.”
KJVButG2532 wisdomG4678 is justifiedG1344(G5681) ofG575 allG3956 herG846 childrenG5043.
36 One of the Pharisees invited him to eat with him. He entered into the Pharisee’s house and sat at the table.
KJVAndG1161 oneG5100 of the PhariseesG5330 desiredG2065(G5707) himG846 thatG2443 he would eatG5315(G5632) withG3326 himG846. AndG2532 he wentG1525(G5631) intoG1519 the Pharisee'sG5330 houseG3614, and sat down to meatG347(G5681).
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.
KJVAndG2532, beholdG2400(G5628), a womanG1135 inG1722 the cityG4172, whichG3748 wasG2258(G5713) a sinnerG268, when she knewG1921(G5631) thatG3754 Jesus sat at meatG345(G5736) inG1722 the Pharisee'sG5330 houseG3614, broughtG2865(G5660) an alabaster boxG211 of ointmentG3464,
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.
KJVAndG2532 stoodG2476(G5631) atG3844 hisG846 feetG4228 behindG3694 him weepingG2799(G5723), and beganG756(G5662) to washG1026(G5721) hisG846 feetG4228 with tearsG1144, andG2532 did wipeG1591(G5707) them with the hairsG2359 of herG846 headG2776, andG2532 kissedG2705(G5707) hisG846 feetG4228, andG2532 anointedG218(G5707) them with the ointmentG3464.
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.”
KJVNowG1161 when the PhariseeG5330 whichG3588 had biddenG2564(G5660) himG846 sawG1492(G5631) it, he spakeG2036(G5627) withinG1722 himselfG1438, sayingG3004(G5723), This manG3778, ifG1487 he wereG2258(G5713) a prophetG4396,G302 would have knownG1097(G5707) whoG5101 andG2532 what mannerG4217 of womanG1135 this is thatG3748 touchethG680(G5731) himG846: forG3754 she isG2076(G5748) a sinnerG268.
40 Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” He said, “Teacher, say on.”
KJVAndG2532 JesusG2424 answeringG611(G5679) saidG2036(G5627) untoG4314 himG846, SimonG4613, I haveG2192(G5719) somewhatG5100 to sayG2036(G5629) unto theeG4671. AndG1161 he saithG5346(G5748), MasterG1320, say onG2036(G5628).
41 “A certain lender had two debtors. The one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.
KJVThere wasG2258(G5713) a certainG5100 creditorG1157 which had twoG1417 debtorsG5533: the oneG1520 owedG3784(G5707) five hundredG4001 penceG1220, andG1161 the otherG2087 fiftyG4004.
42 When they couldn’t pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most?”
KJVAndG1161 when theyG846 hadG2192(G5723) nothingG3361 to payG591(G5629), he frankly forgaveG5483(G5662) them bothG297. Tell meG2036(G5628) thereforeG3767, whichG5101 of themG846 will loveG25(G5692) himG846 mostG4119?
43 Simon answered, “He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most.” He said to him, “You have judged correctly.”
KJVSimonG4613 answeredG611(G5679) andG1161 saidG2036(G5627), I supposeG5274(G5719) thatG3754 he, to whomG3739 he forgaveG5483(G5662) mostG4119. AndG1161 he saidG2036(G5627) unto himG846, Thou hastG2919 rightlyG3723 judgedG2919(G5656).
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.
KJVAndG2532 he turnedG4762(G5651) toG4314 the womanG1135, and saidG5346(G5713) unto SimonG4613, Seest thouG991(G5719) thisG5026 womanG1135? I enteredG1525(G5627) intoG1519 thineG4675 houseG3614, thou gavest meG1325(G5656) noG3756 waterG5204 forG1909 myG3450 feetG4228: butG1161 sheG3778(G5625)G846 hath washedG1026(G5656) myG3450 feetG4228 with tearsG1144, andG2532 wipedG1591(G5656) them with the hairsG2359 of herG846 headG2776.
45 You gave me no kiss, but she, since the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss my feet.
KJVThou gavestG1325(G5656) meG3427 noG3756 kissG5370: butG1161 this womanG3778(G5625)G846 sinceG575 the timeG3739 I came inG1525(G5627) hathG1257 notG3756 ceasedG1257(G5627) to kissG2705(G5723) myG3450 feetG4228.
46 You didn’t anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment.
KJVMyG3450 headG2776 with oilG1637 thou didstG218 notG3756 anointG218(G5656): butG1161 this womanG3778(G5625)G846 hath anointedG218(G5656) myG3450 feetG4228 with ointmentG3464.
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.”
KJVWhereforeG3739G5484 I sayG3004(G5719) unto theeG4671, HerG846 sinsG266, whichG3588 are manyG4183, are forgivenG863(G5769); forG3754 she lovedG25(G5656) muchG4183: butG1161 to whomG3739 littleG3641 is forgivenG863(G5743), the same lovethG25(G5719) littleG3641.
48 He said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
KJVAndG1161 he saidG2036(G5627) unto herG846, ThyG4675 sinsG266 are forgivenG863(G5769).

50 He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”
KJVAndG1161 he saidG2036(G5627) toG4314 the womanG1135, ThyG4675 faithG4102 hath savedG4982(G5758) theeG4571; goG4198(G5737) inG1519 peaceG1515.
