11And it came to pass afterwards, that he went into a city that is called Naim; and there went with him his disciples, and a great multitude.
12And when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold a dead man was carried out, the only son of his mother; and she was a widow: and a great multitude of the city was with her.
13Whom when the Lord had seen, being moved with mercy towards her, he said to her: Weep not.
14And he came near and touched the bier. And they that carried it, stood still. And he said: Young man, I say to thee, arise.
15And he that was dead, sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother.
16And there came a fear on them all: and they glorified God, saying: A great prophet is risen up among us: and, God hath visited his people.
17And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judea, and throughout all the country round about.
18And John’s disciples told him of all these things.
19And John called to him two of his disciples, and sent them to Jesus, saying: Art thou he that art to come; or look we for another?
20And when the men were come unto him, they said: John the Baptist hath sent us to thee, saying: Art thou he that art to come; or look we for another?
21(And in that same hour, he cured many of their diseases, and hurts, and evil spirits: and to many that were blind he gave sight.)
22And answering, he said to them: Go and relate to John what you have heard and seen: the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are made clean, the deaf hear, the dead rise again, to the poor the gospel is preached:
23And blessed is he whosoever shall not be scandalized in me.
24And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak to the multitudes concerning John. What went ye out into the desert to see? a reed shaken with the wind?
25But what went you out to see? a man clothed in soft garments? Behold they that are in costly apparel and live delicately, are in the houses of kings.
26But what went you out to see? a prophet? Yea, I say to you, and more than a prophet.
27This is he of whom it is written: Behold I send my angel before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.
28For I say to you: Amongst those that are born of women, there is not a greater prophet that John the Baptist. But he that is the lesser in the kingdom of God, is greater than he.
29And all the people hearing, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with John’s baptism.
30But the Pharisees and the lawyers despised the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized by him.
31And the Lord said: Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?
32They are like to children sitting in the marketplace, and speaking one to another, and saying: We have piped to you, and you have not danced: we have mourned, and you have not wept.
33For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and you say: He hath a devil.
34The Son of man is come eating and drinking: and you say: Behold a man that is a glutton and a drinker of wine, a friend of publicans and sinners.
35And wisdom is justified by all her children.
36And one of the Pharisees desired him to eat with him. And he went into the house of the Pharisee, and sat down to meat.
37And behold a woman that was in the city, a sinner, when she knew that he sat at meat in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster box of ointment;
38And standing behind at his feet, she began to wash his feet, with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
39And the Pharisee, who had invited him, seeing it, spoke within himself, saying: This man, if he were a prophet, would know surely who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him, that she is a sinner.
40And Jesus answering, said to him: Simon, I have somewhat to say to thee. But he said: Master, say it.
41A certain creditor had two debtors, the one who owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.
42And whereas they had not wherewith to pay, he forgave them both. Which therefore of the two loveth him most?
43Simon answering, said: I suppose that he to whom he forgave most. And he said to him: Thou hast judged rightly.
