7propter quodBecause of this,et meipsum non sum dignum arbitratus ut venirem ad te:I also did not consider myself worthy to come to you.sed dic verbo,But say the word,et sanabitur puer meus.and my servant shall be healed.
8Nam et ego homo sum sub potestate constitutus,For I also am a man placed under authority,habens sub me milites:having soldiers under me.et dico huic,And I say to one,Vade,‘Go,’et vadit:and he goes;et alii,and to another,Veni,‘Come,’et venit:and he comes;et servo meo,and to my servant,Fac hoc,‘Do this,’et facit.and he does it.”

10Et reversi,And those who had been sent,qui missi fuerant, domum,upon returning to the house,invenerunt servum,found that the servant,qui languerat, sanum.who had been sick, was now healthy.

12Cum autem appropinquaret portæ civitatis,Then, when he had drawn near to the gate of the city, behold,ecce defunctus efferebatur filius unicus matris suæ:a deceased person was being carried out, the only son of his mother,et hæc vidua erat:and she was a widow.et turba civitatis multa cum illa.And a large crowd from the city was with her.
13Quam cum vidisset Dominus,And when the Lord had seen her,misericordia motus super eam,being moved by mercy over her,dixit illi:he said to her,Noli flere.“Do not weep.”

16Accepit autem omnes timor:Then fear fell over all of them.et magnificabant Deum,And they magnified God,dicentes:saying:Quia propheta magnus surrexit in nobis:“For a great prophet has risen up among us,”et quia Deus visitavit plebem suam.and, “For God has visited his people.”
17Et exiit hic sermo in universam Judæam de eo,And this word about him went out to all of Judeaet in omnem circa regionem.and to the entire surrounding region.
18Et nuntiaverunt Joanni discipuli ejus de omnibus his.And the disciples of John reported to him concerning all these things.
19Et convocavit duos de discipulis suis Joannes,And John called two of his disciples,et misit ad Jesum,and he sent them to Jesus,dicens:saying,Tu es qui venturus es,“Are you he who is to come,an alium exspectamus?or should we wait for another?”
20Cum autem venissent ad eum viri,But when the men had come to him,dixerunt:they said:Joannes Baptista misit nos ad te dicens:“John the Baptist has sent us to you, saying:Tu es qui venturus es,‘Are you he who is to come,an alium exspectamus?or should we wait for another?’”
21(In ipsa autem hora multos curavit a languoribus,Now in that same hour,et plagis,he cured many of their diseases and wounds and evil spirits;et spiritibus malis,and to many of the blind,et cæcis multis donavit visum.)he gave sight.
22Et respondens,And responding,dixit illis:he said to them:Euntes renuntiate Joanni quæ audistis et vidistis:“Go and report to John what you have heard and seen:quia cæci vident,that the blind see,claudi ambulant,the lame walk,leprosi mundantur,the lepers are cleansed,surdi audiunt,the deaf hear,mortui resurgunt,the dead rise again,pauperes evangelizantur:the poor are evangelized.
23et beatus est quicumque non fuerit scandalizatus in me.And blessed is anyone who has not taken offense at me.”
24Et cum discessissent nuntii Joannis,And when the messengers of John had withdrawn,cœpit de Joanne dicere ad turbas:he began to speak about John to the crowds.Quid existis in desertum videre?“What did you go out to the desert to see?arundinem vento agitatam?A reed shaken by the wind?
25Sed quid existis videre?Then what did you go out to see?hominem mollibus vestibus indutum?A man clothed in soft garments?Ecce qui in veste pretiosa sunt et deliciis,Behold,in domibus regum sunt.those who are in costly apparel and finery are in the houses of kings.
26Sed quid existis videre?Then what did you go out to see?prophetam?A prophet?Utique dico vobis,Certainly, I tell you,et plus quam prophetam:and more than a prophet.
27hic est,This is he of whom it is written:de quo scriptum est:“Behold,Ecce mitto angelum meum ante faciem tuam,I send my Angel before your face,qui præparabit viam tuam ante te.who shall prepare your way before you.”
28Dico enim vobis:For I say to you,major inter natos mulierum propheta Joanne Baptista nemo est:among those born of women,qui autem minor est in regno Dei,no one is greater than the prophet John the Baptist.major est illo.But he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”
29Et omnis populus audiens et publicani,And upon hearing this,justificaverunt Deum,all the people and the tax collectors justified God,baptizati baptismo Joannis.by being baptized with the baptism of John.
30Pharisæi autem et legisperiti consilium Dei spreverunt in semetipsos,But the Pharisees and the experts in the law despised the counsel of God concerning themselves,non baptizati ab eo.by not being baptized by him.
31Ait autem Dominus:Then the Lord said:Cui ergo similes dicam homines generationis hujus?“Therefore, to what shall I compare the men of this generation?et cui similes sunt?And to what are they similar?
32Similes sunt pueris sedentibus in foro,They are like children sitting in the marketplace,et loquentibus ad invicem,talking with one another,et dicentibus:and saying:Cantavimus vobis tibiis,‘We sang to you,et non saltastis:and you did not dance.lamentavimus,We lamented,et non plorastis.and you did not weep.’
33Venit enim Joannes Baptista,For John the Baptist came,neque manducans panem,neither eating breadneque bibens vinum,nor drinking wine,et dicitis:and you say,Dæmonium habet.‘He has a demon.’
34Venit Filius hominis manducans,The Son of man came,et bibens,eating and drinking,et dicitis:and you say,Ecce homo devorator,‘Behold,et bibens vinum,a voracious man and a drinker of wine,amicus publicanorum et peccatorum.a friend of tax collectors and of sinners.’
35Et justificata est sapientia ab omnibus filiis suis.But wisdom is justified by all her children.”
36Rogabat autem illum quidam de pharisæis ut manducaret cum illo.Then certain Pharisees petitioned him, so that they might eat with him.Et ingressus domum pharisæi discubuit.And he went into the house of the Pharisee, and he reclined at table.
37Et ecce mulier,And behold,quæ erat in civitate peccatrix,a woman who was in the city, a sinner,ut cognovit quod accubuisset in domo pharisæi,found out that he was reclining at table in the house of the Pharisee,attulit alabastrum unguenti:so she brought an alabaster container of ointment.
38et stans retro secus pedes ejus,And standing behind him, beside his feet,lacrimis cœpit rigare pedes ejus,she began to wash his feet with tears,et capillis capitis sui tergebat,and she wiped them with the hair of her head,et osculabatur pedes ejus, et unguento ungebat.and she kissed his feet, and she anointed them with ointment.
39Videns autem pharisæus,Then the Pharisee, who had invited him,qui vocaverat eum,upon seeing this,ait intra se dicens:spoke within himself, saying,Hic si esset propheta,“This man, if he were a prophet,sciret utique quæ et qualis est mulier,would certainly know who and what kind of woman is this,quæ tangit eum:who is touching him:quia peccatrix est.that she is a sinner.”
40Et respondens Jesus,And in response,dixit ad illum:Jesus said to him,Simon,“Simon,habeo tibi aliquid dicere.I have something to say to you.”At ille ait:So he said,Magister,“Speak,dic.Teacher.”
41Duo debitores erant cuidam fœneratori:“A certain creditor had two debtors:unus debebat denarios quingentos,one owed five hundred denarii,et alius quinquaginta.and the other fifty.
42Non habentibus illis unde redderent,And since they did not have the ability to repay him,donavit utrisque.he forgave them both.Quis ergo eum plus diligit?So then, which of them loves him more?”
43Respondens Simon dixit:In response, Simon said,Æstimo quia is cui plus donavit.“I suppose that it is he to whom he forgave the most.”At ille dixit ei: Recte judicasti.And he said to him, “You have judged correctly.”
44Et conversus ad mulierem,And turning to the woman,dixit Simoni:he said to Simon:Vides hanc mulierem?“Do you see this woman?Intravi in domum tuam,I entered into your house.aquam pedibus meis non dedisti:You gave me no water for my feet.hæc autem lacrimis rigavit pedes meos,But she has washed my feet with tears,et capillis suis tersit.and has wiped them with her hair.
45Osculum mihi non dedisti:You gave no kiss to me. But she,hæc autem ex quo intravit,from the time that she entered,non cessavit osculari pedes meos.has not ceased to kiss my feet.
46Oleo caput meum non unxisti:You did not anoint my head with oil.hæc autem unguento unxit pedes meos.But she has anointed my feet with ointment.
47Propter quod dico tibi:Because of this, I tell you:remittuntur ei peccata multa,many sins are forgiven her,quoniam dilexit multum.because she has loved much.Cui autem minus dimittitur,But he who is forgiven less,minus diligit.loves less.”
48Dixit autem ad illam:Then he said to her,Remittuntur tibi peccata.“Your sins are forgiven you.”
49Et cœperunt qui simul accumbebant,And those who sat at table with him began to say within themselves,dicere intra se:“Who is this,Quis est hic qui etiam peccata dimittit?who even forgives sins?”
50Dixit autem ad mulierem:Then he said to the woman:Fides tua te salvam fecit:“Your faith has brought you salvation.vade in pace.Go in peace.”
