1 Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum. 2 And a certain centurion’s servant, who was dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die. 3 And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant. 4 And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this: 5 For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue. 6 Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof: 7 Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed. 8 For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it . 9 When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. 10 And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole 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 much people. 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 much people of the city was with her. 13 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not. 14 And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise. 15 And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother. 16 And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited his people. 17 And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judæa, and throughout all the region round about. 18 And the disciples of John shewed him of all these things.
19 ¶ And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another? 20 When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another? 21 And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many that were blind he gave sight. 22 Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached. 23 And blessed is he , whosoever shall not be offended in me.
24 ¶ And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak unto the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind? 25 But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings’ courts. 26 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet. 27 This is he , of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. 28 For I say unto 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. 29 And all the people that heard him , and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John. 30 But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him.
31 ¶ And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like? 32 They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept. 33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil. 34 The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners! 35 But wisdom is justified of 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 to meat. 37 And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster box of ointment, 38 And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment. 39 Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it , he spake 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. 40 And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on. 41 There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, 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? 43 Simon answered and said, I suppose that he , to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged. 44 And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine 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. 45 Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet. 46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment. 47 Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little. 48 And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven. 49 And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also? 50 And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.

Rim yuzboshisining imoni
1 Iso xalqqa bu soʻzlarini aytib boʻlgandan keyin, Kafarnahum shahriga ketdi. 2 U yerda bir Rim yuzboshisining juda aziz xizmatkori kasal boʻlib, oʻlim toʻshagida yotgan edi. 3 Yuzboshi Iso toʻgʻrisida eshitib qoldi va yahudiy oqsoqollarini Uning oldiga yuborib: “Keling, xizmatkorimga shifo bering”, — deb iltimos qildi. 4 Ular Isoning yoniga kelgach, oʻtinib yolvordilar:
— U Sizning yordamingizga munosibdir. 5 U xalqimizni yaxshi koʻradi, bizga hatto sinagoga ham qurib bergan.
6 Iso ular bilan birga ketdi. U uyga yaqinlashib qolganda, yuzboshi doʻstlari orqali shunday xabar joʻnatdi:
— Hazrat, ovora boʻlmang! Kulbamga oyoq bosishingiz uchun nomunosibman. 7 Men oʻzimni noloyiq hisoblaganim uchun Sizning oldingizga oʻzim bormadim. Siz buyursangiz, bas, xizmatkorim sogʻayib ketadi. 8 Men oʻzim buyruqqa tobe odamman, ammo mening ham qoʻlim ostida askarlarim bor. Biriga “ket” desam, ketadi, boshqasiga “kel” desam, keladi. Biron xizmatkorimga “shuni qil” desam, qiladi.
9 Iso bu soʻzlarni eshitgach, yuzboshidan hayratlandi. U oʻgirilib, orqasidan ergashib kelayotgan olomonga dedi:
— Sizlarga shuni aytay: Men hattoki Isroil xalqi orasida ham bunday kuchli imonga ega boʻlgan odamni uchratmadim.
10 Yuborilganlar yuzboshining uyiga qaytib kelganlarida, xizmatkor sogʻayib qolganini koʻrdilar.
Iso beva ayolning oʻgʻlini tiriltiradi
11 Oradan koʻp vaqt oʻtmay, Iso Nain degan shaharga bordi. Uning shogirdlari va bir talay olomon Iso bilan birga edi. 12 Iso shahar darovozasiga yetib qolganda, vafot etgan bir odamni olib chiqishayotganini koʻrib qoldi. Marhum odam beva ayolning yolgʻiz oʻgʻli ekan. Ayol bilan birga shahardan bir talay olomon chiqib kelayotgan edi. 13 Rabbimiz Iso bu ayolni koʻrgach, unga rahmi kelib:
— Yigʻlama! — dedi. 14 Keyin Iso yaqinlashib, tobutga qoʻlini tekkizdi. Tobutni koʻtarib borayotganlar toʻxtab qoldilar. Iso oʻlikka:
— Ey yigit, senga aytaman: tur oʻrningdan! — dedi.
15 Oʻshanda oʻlik rostlanib oʻtirdi–da, gapira boshladi. Iso uni onasiga topshirdi. 16 Hammani vahima bosdi. Odamlar: “Oramizda buyuk paygʻambar paydo boʻldi, Xudo Oʻz xalqini qutqarish uchun keldi”, deb Xudoga hamdu sano aytardilar. 17 Iso haqidagi bu xabar Yahudiyaga va butun atrofga yoyildi.
Yahyo choʻmdiruvchining xabarchilari
18 Yahyoga shogirdlari boʻlib oʻtgan bu voqealar toʻgʻrisida xabar berishdi. 19 Yahyo shogirdlaridan ikkitasini chaqirib, ularni Rabbimiz Isoning oldiga shunday savol bilan yubordi: “Keladigan Zot Sizmisiz, yoki biz boshqasini kutaylikmi?”
20 Ular Isoning oldiga borib deyishdi:
— Bizni Yahyo choʻmdiruvchi yubordi. U Sizdan: “Keladigan Zot Sizmisiz, yoki biz boshqasini kutaylikmi?” — deb soʻrayapti.
21 Ayni shu paytda Iso koʻp odamlarning xastaliklariyu dardlariga shifo berayotgan, yovuz ruhlarga chalinganlarni tuzatayotgan, koʻplab koʻrlarning koʻzlarini ochayotgan edi. 22 Iso Yahyoning shogirdlariga shunday javob berdi:
— Boringlar, koʻrib eshitayotganlaringizni Yahyoga aytinglar: koʻrlar koʻrmoqda, choʻloqlar yurmoqda, teri kasalligiga chalinganlar tuzalmoqda, karlar eshitmoqda, oʻliklar tirilmoqda, yoʻqsillar Xushxabarni eshitmoqda. 23 Mendan yuz oʻgirmaganlar naqadar baxtlidir!
24 Yahyoning xabarchilari ketgandan keyin, Iso olomonga Yahyo haqida gapira boshladi: “Sahroga nimani koʻrgani bordingizlar? Shamolda hilpirab turgan qamishnimi? 25 Xoʻsh, nimani koʻrgani bordingizlar? Bashang kiyingan odamnimi? Biroq bashang kiyinib, boy–badavlat yashaydiganlar shoh saroyida boʻladi–ku! 26 Unday boʻlsa, nimani koʻrgani bordingizlar? Paygʻambarnimi? Ha, sizlarga shuni aytay: sizlar paygʻambardan ham ulugʻini koʻrdingizlar! 27 U haqda shunday yozilgan:
«Mana, Sendan oldin Men Oʻz elchimni yuboryapman,
U Sen uchun yoʻlni hozirlaydi.»
28 Sizlarga aytamanki, butun inson zoti orasida Yahyodan ulugʻi yoʻq . Ammo Xudoning Shohligida eng kichik hisoblangan odam ham undan ulugʻroqdir.”
29 Yahyoni eshitgan jamiki odamlar, hatto soliqchilar ham Xudoning yoʻli toʻgʻri ekanligini tan olgan edilar. Ular Yahyo tomonidan suvga choʻmdirilgandilar. 30 Farziylar bilan Tavrot tafsirchilari esa, Yahyo tomonidan suvga choʻmdirilishni istamay, Xudoning ular uchun boʻlgan maqsadini rad qildilar.
31 Iso gapida davom etdi: “Shunday ekan, zamonimizdagi odamlarni kimga qiyoslasam boʻladi? 32 Ular maydonda oʻtirgan bolalarga oʻxshaydilar. Oʻsha bolalar bir–birlariga shunday deya baqiradilar:
«Sizlar uchun nay chaldik, ammo raqsga tushmadingiz,
Biz oh–voh qildik, ammo sizlar yigʻlamadingiz.»
33 Yahyo choʻmdiruvchi kelib na non yedi, na sharob ichdi. Sizlar esa: «Uni jin uribdi», deysizlar. 34 Inson Oʻgʻli kelib, ham yedi, ham ichdi. Uni esa sizlar: «Yebtoʻymas, sharobxoʻr, soliqchilar va gunohkorlarning doʻsti», deysizlar. 35 Ammo bilib qoʻyinglar: Xudoning donoligini tan olganlar Uning donoligi toʻgʻri ekanligini koʻrsatib turibdilar.”
Gunohkor ayol Isoning oyoqlariga atir moy surtadi
36 Farziylardan biri Isoni taom yeyishga taklif qildi. Iso farziyning uyiga kirib, dasturxon yoniga yonboshladi. 37 Shaharda gunohkor bir ayol bor edi. U: “Iso farziyning uyida mehmonda ekan”, deb eshitdi va ganchdan yasalgan idishda atir moy olib keldi. 38 Oʻsha ayol Isoning oyoqlari tomonida turib yigʻladi. Ayolning koʻz yoshlari Isoning oyoqlariga tomar edi. Ayol Isoning oyoqlarini sochlari bilan artib, oʻpa boshladi, oyoqlariga atir moy surtdi.
39 Isoni oʻz uyiga taklif qilgan farziy buni koʻrib: “Agar bu Odam haqiqatan ham paygʻambar boʻlganda edi, Unga qoʻl tekkizgan ayolning kimligini va qanaqaligini bilgan boʻlardi, bu ayol gunohkor–ku”, deb koʻnglidan oʻtkazdi.
40 Iso farziyga dedi:
— Shimoʻn, senga bir gap aytmoqchiman.
— Ayting, Ustoz! — dedi u.
41 Iso dedi:
— Ikki kishi bir odamdan qarzdor ekan: biri besh yuz kumush tanga , ikkinchisi ellik kumush tanga. 42 Ular qarzlarini toʻlay olmagani uchun, qarz beruvchi ikkovining ham qarzidan kechib yuboribdi. Xoʻsh, ulardan qaysi biri qarz berganni koʻproq yaxshi koʻradi?
43 Shimoʻn javob berib dedi:
— Menimcha, koʻproq qarzi kechirilgan odam boʻlsa kerak.
— Toʻgʻri mulohaza qilding, — dedi unga Iso. 44 Keyin Iso ayolga oʻgirilib qaradi–da, Shimoʻnga dedi:
— Mana bu ayolni koʻryapsanmi? Men uyingga kelganimda, oyoqlarimni yuvgani suv bermading. U esa koʻz yoshlari bilan oyoqlarimni yuvib, sochlari bilan artib quritdi. 45 Sen Meni oʻpib kutib olmading. Bu ayol esa, kelganimdan beri oyoqlarimni oʻpishdan toʻxtagani yoʻq. 46 Sen boshimga zaytun moyi surtmading , bu ayol esa oyoqlarimga atir moy surtdi. 47 Senga aytay: bu ayolning gunohlari koʻp edi, kechirildi. Chuqur mehrining sababi ham shudir. Oz kechirilganning mehri oz boʻladi.
48 Soʻng Iso ayolga:
— Gunohlaring kechirildi, — dedi.
49 Iso bilan dasturxon atrofida yonboshlaganlar ichlarida aytardilar: “Bu kim boʻldiki, hatto gunohlarni ham kechiradi–ya!”
50 Iso esa ayolga:
— Ishonching seni qutqardi, eson–omon bor, — dedi.
