2 And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear to him, was sick, and ready to die.

3 And when he heard of Jesus, he sent to him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant.
3 Y como oyó [hablar] de Jesús, envió á él los ancianos de los Judíos, rogándole que viniese y librase á su siervo.
3 When he heard about Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, asking him to come and save his servant.
4 And when they came to Jesus, they besought him earnestly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:
4 Y viniendo ellos á Jesús, rogáronle con diligencia, diciéndole: Porque es digno de concederle esto;
4 When they came to Jesus, they begged him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy for you to do this for him,
5 For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.
5 Que ama nuestra nación, y él nos edificó una sinagoga.
5 for he loves our nation, and he built our synagogue for us.”
6 Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof;
6 Y Jesús fué con ellos. Mas como ya no estuviesen lejos de su casa, envió el centurión amigos á él, diciéndole: Señor, no te incomodes, que no soy digno que entres debajo de mi tejado;
6 Jesus went with them. When he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, “Lord, don’t trouble yourself, for I am not worthy for you to come under my roof.
7 Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come to thee; but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.
7 Por lo cual ni aun me tuve por digno de venir á ti; mas di la palabra, y mi siervo será sano.
7 Therefore I didn’t even think myself worthy to come to you; but say the word, and my servant will be healed.
8 For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say to one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth [it] .
8 Porque también yo soy hombre puesto en potestad, que tengo debajo de mí soldados; y digo á éste: Ve, y va; y al otro: Ven, y viene; y á mi siervo: Haz esto, y lo hace.
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.”
9 When Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turned himself about and said to the people that followed him, I say to you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
9 Lo cual oyendo Jesús, se maravilló de él, y vuelto, dijo á las gentes que le seguían: Os digo [que] ni aun en Israel he hallado tanta fe.
9 When Jesus 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 faith, no, not in Israel.”
10 And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant well that had been sick.

11 And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain: and many of his disciples went with him, and many people.
11 Y aconteció después, que él iba á la ciudad que se llama Naín, é iban con él muchos de sus discípulos, y gran compañía.
11 Soon afterwards, he went to a city called Nain. Many of his disciples, along with a great multitude, went with him.
12 Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and many people of the city were with her.
12 Y como llegó cerca de la puerta de la ciudad, he aquí que sacaban fuera á un difunto, unigénito de su madre, la cual también era viuda: y había con ella grande compañía de la ciudad.
12 Now when he came near to the gate of the city, behold, one who was dead was carried out, the only born son of his mother, and she was a widow. Many people of the city were with her.
13 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said to her, Weep not.
13 Y como el Señor la vió, compadecióse de ella, y le dice: No llores.
13 When the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her and said to her, “Don’t cry.”
14 And he came and touched the bier: And they that bore [him] stood still. And he said, Young man, I say to thee, Arise.
14 Y acercándose, tocó el féretro: y los que [lo] llevaban, pararon. Y dice: Mancebo, á ti digo, levántate.
14 He came near and touched the coffin, and the bearers stood still. He said, “Young man, I tell you, arise!”

16 And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet hath risen among us; and, That God hath visited his people.
16 Y todos tuvieron miedo, y glorificaban á Dios, diciendo: Que un gran profeta se ha levantado entre nosotros; y que Dios ha visitado á su pueblo.
16 Fear took hold of all, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has arisen among us!” and, “God has visited his people!”
17 And this rumor of him went forth throughout all Judea, and throughout all the neighboring region.
17 Y salió esta fama de él por toda Judea, y por toda la tierra de alrededor.
17 This report went out concerning him in the whole of Judea and in all the surrounding region.
18 And the disciples of John informed him of all these things.
18 Y sus discípulos dieron á Juan las nuevas de todas estas cosas: y llamó Juan á dos de sus discípulos,
18 The disciples of John told him about all these things.
19 And John calling two of his disciples sent [them] to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?
19 Y envió á Jesús, diciendo: ¿Eres tú aquél que había de venir, ó esperaremos á otro?
19 John, calling to himself two of his disciples, sent them to Jesus, saying, “Are you the one who is coming, or should we look for another?”
20 When the men had come to him, they said, John the Baptist hath sent us to thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?
20 Y como los hombres vinieron á él, dijeron: Juan el Bautista nos ha enviado á ti, diciendo: ¿Eres tú aquél que había de venir, ó esperaremos á otro?
20 When the men had come to him, they said, “John the Baptizer has sent us to you, saying, ‘Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?’”
21 And in that same hour he cured many of [their] infirmities, and diseases, and of evil spirits; and to many [that were] blind he gave sight.
21 Y en la misma hora sanó á muchos de enfermedades y plagas, y de espíritus malos; y á muchos ciegos dió la vista.
21 In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and to many who were blind he gave sight.
22 Then Jesus answering, said to them, Go, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; that the blind see, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached.
22 Y respondiendo Jesús, les dijo: Id, dad las nuevas á Juan de lo que habéis visto y oído: que los ciegos ven, los cojos andan, los leprosos son limpiados, los sordos oyen, los muertos resucitan, á los pobres es anunciado el evangelio:
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.
23 And blessed is [he] , to whom I shall not be a stumbling block.
23 Y bienaventurado es el que no fuere escandalizado en mí.
23 Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me.”
24 And when the messengers of John had departed, he began to speak to the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
24 Y como se fueron los mensajeros de Juan, comenzó á hablar de Juan á las gentes: ¿Qué salisteis á ver al desierto? ¿una caña que es agitada por el viento?
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?
25 But what went ye out to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they who are gorgeously appareled, and live delicately, are in kings' courts.
25 Mas ¿qué salisteis á ver? ¿un hombre cubierto de vestidos delicados? He aquí, los que están en vestido precioso, y viven en delicias, en los palacios de los reyes están.
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.
26 But what went ye out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and much more than a prophet.
26 Mas ¿qué salisteis á ver? ¿un profeta? También os digo, y aun más que profeta.
26 But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.
27 This is [he] , concerning whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.
27 Este es de quien está escrito: He aquí, envío mi mensajero delante de tu faz, el cual aparejará tu camino delante de ti.
27 This 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 say to you, Among those that are born of women, there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God, is greater than he.
28 Porque os digo que entre los nacidos de mujeres, no hay mayor profeta que Juan el Bautista: mas el más pequeño en el reino de los cielos es mayor que él.
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.”
29 And all the people that heard [him] , and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.
29 Y todo el pueblo oyéndole, y los publicanos, justificaron á Dios, bautizándose con el bautismo de Juan.
29 When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, they declared God to be just, having been baptized with John’s baptism.
30 But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized by him.
30 Mas los Fariseos y los sabios de la ley, desecharon el consejo de Dios contra sí mismos, no siendo bautizados de él.
30 But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God, not being baptized by him themselves.
31 And the Lord said, To what then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?
31 Y dice el Señor: ¿A quién, pues, compararé los hombres de esta generación, y á qué son semejantes?
31 “To what then should I compare the people of this generation? What are they like?
32 They are like children sitting in the market-place, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped to you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.
32 Semejantes son á los muchachos sentados en la plaza, y que dan voces los unos á los otros, y dicen: Os tañimos con flautas, y no bailasteis: os endechamos, y no llorasteis.
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.’
33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread, nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a demon.
33 Porque vino Juan el Bautista, que ni comía pan, ni bebía vino, y decís: Demonio tiene.
33 For John the Baptizer came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’
34 The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold, a gluttonous man, and a wine-bibber, a friend of publicans and sinners.
34 Vino el Hijo del hombre, que come y bebe, y decís: He aquí un hombre comilón, y bebedor de vino, amigo de publicanos y de pecadores.
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!’
35 But wisdom is justified by all her children.
35 Mas la sabiduría es justificada de todos sus hijos.
35 Wisdom is justified by all her children.”
36 And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down at table.
36 Y le rogó uno de los Fariseos, que comiese con él. Y entrado en casa del Fariseo, sentóse á la mesa.
36 One of the Pharisees invited him to eat with him. He entered into the Pharisee’s house and sat at the table.
37 And behold, a woman in the city, who was a sinner, when she knew that [Jesus] sat at table in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster-box of ointment,
37 Y he aquí una mujer que había sido pecadora en la ciudad, como entendió que estaba á la mesa en casa de aquel Fariseo, trajo un alabastro de ungüento,
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.
38 And stood at his feet behind [him] weeping, and 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.
38 Y estando detrás á sus pies, comenzó llorando á regar con lágrimas sus pies, y los limpiaba con los cabellos de su cabeza; y besaba sus pies, y los ungía con el ungüento.
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.
39 Now when the Pharisee who had invited him, saw [it] , he spoke within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who, and what manner of woman [this is] that toucheth him, for she is a sinner.
39 Y como vió esto el Fariseo que le había convidado, habló entre sí, diciendo: Este, si fuera profeta, conocería quién y cuál es la mujer que le toca, que es pecadora.
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.”
40 And Jesus answering, said to him, Simon, I have somewhat to say to thee. And he saith, Master, speak.
40 Entonces respondiendo Jesús, le dijo: Simón, una cosa tengo que decirte. Y él dice: Di, Maestro.
40 Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” He said, “Teacher, say on.”
41 There was a certain creditor, who had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.
41 Un acreedor tenía dos deudores: el uno le debía quinientos denarios, y el otro cincuenta;
41 “A certain lender had two debtors. The one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.
42 And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?
42 Y no teniendo ellos de qué pagar, perdonó á ambos. Di, pues, ¿cuál de éstos le amará más?
42 When they couldn’t pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most?”
43 Simon answered and said, I suppose that [he] , to whom he forgave most. And he said to him, Thou hast rightly judged.
43 Y respondiendo Simón, dijo: Pienso que aquél al cual perdonó más. Y él le dijo: Rectamente has juzgado.
43 Simon answered, “He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most.” He said to him, “You have judged correctly.”
44 And he turned to the woman, and said to Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped [them] with the hairs of her head.
44 Y vuelto á la mujer, dijo á Simón: ¿Ves esta mujer? Entré en tu casa, no diste agua para mis pies; mas ésta ha regado mis pies con lágrimas, y los ha limpiado con los cabellos.
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.
45 Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss my feet.
45 No me diste beso, mas ésta, desde que entré, no ha cesado de besar mis pies.
45 You gave me no kiss, but she, since the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss my feet.
46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment.
46 No ungiste mi cabeza con óleo; mas ésta ha ungido con ungüento mis pies.
46 You didn’t anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment.
47 Wherefore I say to thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, [the same] loveth little.
47 Por lo cual te digo [que] sus muchos pecados son perdonados, porque amó mucho; mas al que se perdona poco, poco ama.
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.”
48 And he said to her, Thy sins are forgiven.
48 Y á ella dijo: Los pecados te son perdonados.
48 He said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
49 And they that sat at table with him, began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?
49 Y los que estaban juntamente sentados á la mesa, comenzaron á decir entre sí: ¿Quién es éste, que también perdona pecados?
49 Those who sat at the table with him began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”
50 And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
50 Y dijo á la mujer: Tu fe te ha salvado, ve en paz.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
The miracles of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ make indeed an impression on all who hear of, and believe them; but on different men in different ways.

They further hold that he will continue administering the affairs of the world as long as that is fitting and needful, and specially that …
For this Master of humility both by word and example, sat down even in the house of a certain proud Pharisee, by name Simon; and though He sat down in his house, there was no place in this heart, "where the Son of Man could lay His Head."

But see by another thing also how Luke hath proclaimed his faith, saying that his servant "was ready to die." Nevertheless, not even this cast him into despondency, neither did it cause him to give up: but even so he trusted that he should prevail.

Her name, too, was indicated by the Saviour, when He said, "Yet wisdom is justified by her children." This, too, was done by Paul in these words, "But we speak wisdom among them that are perfect." They declare also that Paul has referred to the conjunctions within the Pleroma, showing them forth by means of one; for, when writing of …
