Luke [White-light] 7:8-47

⁸For 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.”

⁹When Yeshua Salvation heard these things, he marveled at him, and turned and said to the multitude who followed him, “I tell you, I have not found such great trusting faith, no, not in Israel God prevails.”

¹⁰Those who were sent, teshuvah ·completely returning· to the house, found that the servant who had been sick was well.

¹¹Soon afterwards, he went to a city called Nain. Many of his disciples, along with a great multitude, went with him.

¹²Now when he came near to the gate of the city, behold, one who was dead was carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. Many people of the city were with her.

¹³When the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said to her, “Don’t cry.”

¹⁴He came near and touched the coffin, and the bearers stood still. He said, “Young man, I tell you, arise!”

¹⁵He who was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother.

¹⁶Fear took hold of all, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has arisen among us!” and, “God has visited his people!”

¹⁷This report went out concerning him in the whole of Judea Praise, and in all the surrounding region.

¹⁸The disciples of John Yah is gracious told him about all these things.

¹⁹John Yah is gracious, calling to himself two of his disciples, sent them to Yeshua Salvation, saying, “Are you the one who is coming, or should we look for another?”

²⁰When the men had come to him, they said, “John Yah is gracious the Immerser has sent us to you, saying, ‘Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?’”

²¹In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and to many who were blind he gave sight.

²²Yeshua Salvation answered them, “Go and tell John Yah is gracious the things which you have seen and heard: that the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the people afflicted with tzara'at ·leprosy· are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.

²³Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me.”

²⁴When John Yah is gracious’s messengers had departed, he began to tell the multitudes about John Yah is gracious, “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

²⁵But 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.

²⁶But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.

²⁷This is he of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’

²⁸“For I tell you, among those who are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John Yah is gracious the Immerser, yet he who is least in God’s Kingdom is greater than he.”

²⁹When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, they declared God to be just, having been baptized with John Yah is gracious’s baptism.

³⁰But the Pharisees Separated and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God, not being baptized by him themselves.

³¹“To what then will I liken the people of this generation? What are they like?

³²They 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.’

³³For John Yah is gracious the Immerser came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’

³⁴The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Behold, a gluttonous man, and a drunkard; a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’

³⁵Wisdom is justified by all her children.”

³⁶One of the Pharisees Separated invited him to eat with him. He entered into the Pharisee Separated’s house, and sat at the table.

³⁷Behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that he was reclining in the Pharisee Separated’s house, she brought an alabaster jar of ointment.

³⁸Standing 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.

³⁹Now when the Pharisee Separated 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.”

⁴⁰Yeshua Salvation answered him, “Simeon Hearing, I have something to tell you.” He said, “Teacher, say on.”

⁴¹“A certain lender had two debtors. The one owed five hundred denarii (500 days wages), and the other fifty denarii (50 days wages).

⁴²When they couldn’t pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will show agapao ·total devotion love· to him most?”

⁴³Simeon Hearing answered, “He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most.” He said to him, “You have judged correctly.”

⁴⁴Turning to the woman, he said to Simeon Hearing, “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.

⁴⁵You gave me no kiss, but she, since the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss my feet.

⁴⁶You didn’t anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment.

⁴⁷Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she showed agapao ·totally devoted love· much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same shows little agapao ·totally devoted love·.”
