Knijga O Kristu

Luka 7:1-50

Vjera rimskoga stotnika

(Mt 8:5-13)

1Kad je završio s govorom pred ljudima, Isus ode u Kafarnaum. 2Ondje je nekom stotniku bio nasmrt bolestan sluga kojega je veoma cijenio,. 3Kad je stotnik čuo za Isusa, pošalje k njemu židovske starješine s molbom da mu dođe iscijeliti slugu. 4Oni usrdno zamole Isusa: “On zaslužuje da mu to učiniš 5jer voli naš narod. Čak nam je i sinagogu izgradio.”

6Isus tako pođe s njima. Kad su već stigli nadomak kući, stotnik pošalje prijatelje s porukom: “Gospodine, ne muči se. Nisam dostojan da uđeš u moju kuću. 7Nisam dostojan ni da dođem k tebi, nego samo reci da moj sluga ozdravi i on će ozdraviti! 8Jer i ja moram slušati svoje nadređene. A podređenom vojniku kažem: ‘Idi!’ i on ode, te drugome: ‘Dođi!’ i dođe; a sluzi kažem: ‘Učini to!’ i on učini.”

9Kad je to čuo, Isus se zadivi. Okrene se mnoštvu koje je išlo za njim te reče: “Kažem vam, takve vjere nisam vidio ni u koga u cijelom Izraelu!” 10Kad su se stotnikovi prijatelji vratili kući, našli su slugu posve zdrava.

Isus uskrisuje udovičina sina

11Nakon toga Isus ode u gradić zvan Nain. Pratili su ga učenici i silno mnoštvo ljudi. 12Kad su se približili gradskim vratima, naiđe pogrebna povorka. Pokapali su sina jedinca majke udovice. Majku je pratilo mnogo ljudi iz grada. 13Kad ju je Gospodin opazio, sažali se nad njom te joj reče: “Ne plači!” 14Priđe zatim nosilima i dotakne ih. Nosioci zastanu, a on reče: “Mladiću, tebi govorim, ustani!” 15Mrtvi mladić ustane i progovori, a Isus ga dade majci.

16Sve obuzme silan strah te su slavili Boga govoreći: “Velik je prorok ustao među nama. Bog pohodi svoj narod!” 17I glas o tome Isusovu djelu pronese se svom Judejom i okolicom.

Isus i Ivan Krstitelj

(Mt 11:2-19)

18Učenici Ivana Krstitelja javili su Ivanu o Isusovim djelima. Ivan pozove dvojicu svojih učenika 19i pošalje ih Gospodinu da ga upitaju: “Jesi li ti zaista onaj koji treba doći ili da čekamo drugoga?”

20Oni dođu k Isusu. “Ivan Krstitelj poslao nas je da te upitamo: ‘Jesi li ti zaista onaj koji treba doći ili da čekamo drugoga?’”

21Upravo tada Isus mnoge iscijeli od bolesti, oslobodi zloduha i mnogim slijepcima vrati vid. 22Zatim odgovori Ivanovim učenicima: “Idite Ivanu i ispričajte što ste čuli i vidjeli: slijepcima se vraća vid, hromi hodaju, gubavci ozdravljaju, gluhi čuju, mrtvi ustaju i Radosna vijest se propovijeda siromasima. 23Recite mu i ovo: ‘Blago onome tko se zbog mene ne sablazni!’”

24Kad su Ivanovi glasnici otišli, Isus počne govoriti mnoštvu o Ivanu. “Kad ste izišli u pustinju, što ste išli gledati? Samo trsku kako se povija na vjetru? 25Ili ste išli vidjeti raskošno odjevena čovjeka? Ali takvi žive u kraljevskim palačama. 26Ili ste išli vidjeti proroka? Da, on je i više od proroka. 27Jer Ivan je čovjek o kojemu u Svetome pismu piše:

‘Gledajte, šaljem pred vas svojega glasnika

i on će vam pripraviti put.’7:27 Malahija 3:1.

28Zaista vam kažem, od svih ljudi koji su ikada rođeni nije bilo većega od Ivana. Pa ipak, i najmanji u kraljevstvu Božjemu veći je od njega!”

29Sav narod koji ga je slušao, pa čak i pokvareni ubirači poreza, uvide nato Božju pravednost i krste se Ivanovim krštenjem. 30Farizeji i zakonoznanci, naprotiv, ne dopuste da ih Ivan krsti te tako onemoguće Božju nakanu za njih.

31“S kime dakle da usporedim ovaj naraštaj? Kome li su slični? 32On je poput djece koja sjede i igraju se na gradskome trgu, pa jedna drugoj dovikuju:

‘Veselo smo vam zasvirali,

ali niste htjeli zaplesati.

Onda smo vam zapjevali tužaljke,

ali ni plakati niste htjeli.’

33Jer, došao je Ivan Krstitelj. Nije kruha jeo ni vina pio, a vi kažete: ‘Ima zloduha.’ 34Onda sam došao ja, Sin Čovječji. Jedem i pijem, pa sada kažete: ‘Izjelica je i pijanac, prijatelj je ubiračima poreza i drugim grešnicima!’ 35Ali Božja će se mudrost opravdati djelima pred svom svojom djecom.”

Grešnica pomazuje Isusa

(Mt 26:6-13; Mk 14:3-9; Iv 12:1-8)

36Neki farizej pozove Isusa k sebi na objed te Isus dođe i zauzme mjesto za stolom. 37Uto dođe neka žena koja je bila javna grešnica. Doznala je da je Isus u gradu pa je donijela alabasternu posudu mirisne pomasti. 38Plačući, klekne otraga do njegovih nogu. Suze su joj kapale po njegovim nogama pa ih je otirala svojom kosom. Zatim mu je cjelivala noge i mazala ih mirisnom pomašću.

39Kad je Isusov domaćin farizej to vidio, pomisli: “Kad bi on zaista bio prorok, znao bi kakva je ta žena koja ga dotiče. Pa ona je grešnica!”

40“Šimune, imam ti nešto reći”, nato će Isus.

“Reci, učitelju”, odgovori Šimun.

41“Neki je vjerovnik imao dvojicu dužnika. Jedan mu je dugovao petsto, a drugi pedeset srebrnjaka.7:41 U grčkome: denara (u to je doba dnevna nadnica iznosila približno 1 denar). 42Nisu mu imali odakle vratiti dug, pa ga on obojici oprosti. Što misliš, tko će ga od njih dvojice zato više voljeti?”

43“Vjerojatno onaj kojemu je više oprostio”, odgovori Šimun.

“Dobro si zaključio”, reče mu Isus. 44Okrene se zatim prema ženi i reče mu: “Pogledaj ovu ženu! Kad sam ti ušao u kuću, ti mi nisi ponudio ni vode da operem noge, a ona mi ih je oprala suzama i otrla svojom kosom. 45Ti me nisi ni pozdravio poljupcem, a ona mi nije prestala cjelivati noge otkad je došla. 46Nisi mi u znak dobrodošlice ni glavu pomazao maslinovim uljem, a ona mi je skupocjenom pomašću pomazala noge. 47Ako mi iskazuje mnogo ljubavi, to je zato što su joj oprošteni mnogi grijesi; no komu je malo oprošteno, pokazuje malo ljubavi.” 48Zatim reče ženi: “Grijesi su ti oprošteni!”

49Ljudi za stolom počnu međusobno govoriti: “Tko je ovaj da i grijehe oprašta?”

50A Isus reče ženi: “Spasila te tvoja vjera. Idi u miru.”

New International Version – UK

Luke 7:1-50

The faith of the centurion

1When Jesus had finished saying all this to the people who were listening, he entered Capernaum. 2There a centurion’s servant, whom his master valued highly, was ill and about to die. 3The centurion heard of Jesus and sent some elders of the Jews to him, asking him to come and heal his servant. 4When they came to Jesus, they pleaded earnestly with him, ‘This man deserves to have you do this, 5because he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.’ 6So Jesus went with them.

He was not far from the house when the centurion sent friends to say to him: ‘Lord, don’t trouble yourself, for I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. 7That is why I did not even consider myself worthy to come to you. But say the word, and my servant will be healed. 8For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, “Go”, and he goes; and that one, “Come”, and he comes. I say to my servant, “Do this”, and he does it.’

9When Jesus heard this, he was amazed at him, and turning to the crowd following him, he said, ‘I tell you, I have not found such great faith even in Israel.’ 10Then the men who had been sent returned to the house and found the servant well.

Jesus raises a widow’s son

11Soon afterwards, Jesus went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went along with him. 12As he approached the town gate, a dead person was being carried out – the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her. 13When the Lord saw her, his heart went out to her and he said, ‘Don’t cry.’

14Then he went up and touched the bier they were carrying him on, and the bearers stood still. He said, ‘Young man, I say to you, get up!’ 15The dead man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus gave him back to his mother.

16They were all filled with awe and praised God. ‘A great prophet has appeared among us,’ they said. ‘God has come to help his people.’ 17This news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and the surrounding country.

Jesus and John the Baptist

18John’s disciples told him about all these things. Calling two of them, 19he sent them to the Lord to ask, ‘Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?’

20When the men came to Jesus, they said, ‘John the Baptist sent us to you to ask, “Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?” ’

21At that very time Jesus cured many who had diseases, illnesses and evil spirits, and gave sight to many who were blind. 22So he replied to the messengers, ‘Go back and report to John what you have seen and heard: the blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy7:22 The Greek word traditionally translated leprosy was used for various diseases affecting the skin. are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor. 23Blessed is anyone who does not stumble on account of me.’

24After John’s messengers left, Jesus began to speak to the crowd about John: ‘What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swayed by the wind? 25If not, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? No, those who wear expensive clothes and indulge in luxury are in palaces. 26But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. 27This is the one about whom it is written:

‘ “I will send my messenger ahead of you,

who will prepare your way before you.”7:27 Mal. 3:1

28I tell you, among those born of women there is no-one greater than John; yet the one who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.’

29(All the people, even the tax collectors, when they heard Jesus’ words, acknowledged that God’s way was right, because they had been baptised by John. 30But the Pharisees and the experts in the law rejected God’s purpose for themselves, because they had not been baptised by John.)

31Jesus went on to say, ‘To what, then, can I compare the people of this generation? What are they like? 32They are like children sitting in the market-place and calling out to each other:

‘ “We played the pipe for you,

and you did not dance;

we sang a dirge,

and you did not cry.”

33For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, “He has a demon.” 34The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, “Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.” 35But wisdom is proved right by all her children.’

Jesus anointed by a sinful woman

36When one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to have dinner with him, he went to the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table. 37A woman in that town who lived a sinful life learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee’s house, so she came there with an alabaster jar of perfume. 38As she stood behind him at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears. Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them and poured perfume on them.

39When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, ‘If this man were a prophet, he would know who is touching him and what kind of woman she is – that she is a sinner.’

40Jesus answered him, ‘Simon, I have something to tell you.’

‘Tell me, teacher,’ he said.

41‘Two people owed money to a certain money-lender. One owed him five hundred denarii,7:41 A denarius was the usual daily wage of a day labourer (see Matt. 20:2). and the other fifty. 42Neither of them had the money to pay him back, so he forgave the debts of both. Now which of them will love him more?’

43Simon replied, ‘I suppose the one who had the bigger debt forgiven.’

‘You have judged correctly,’ Jesus said.

44Then he turned towards the woman and said to Simon, ‘Do you see this woman? I came into your house. You did not give me any water for my feet, but she wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. 45You did not give me a kiss, but this woman, from the time I entered, has not stopped kissing my feet. 46You did not put oil on my head, but she has poured perfume on my feet. 47Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven – as her great love has shown. But whoever has been forgiven little loves little.’

48Then Jesus said to her, ‘Your sins are forgiven.’

49The other guests began to say among themselves, ‘Who is this who even forgives sins?’

50Jesus said to the woman, ‘Your faith has saved you; go in peace.’
