Evangelium secundum Matthaeum, 8

1. cum autem descendisset de monte secutæ sunt eum turbæ multæ

1. And when he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him:

2. et ecce leprosus veniens adorabat eum dicens Domine si vis potes me mundare

2. And behold a leper came and adored him, saying: Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

3. et extendens manum tetigit eum Jesus dicens volo mundare et confestim mundata est lepra ejus

3. And Jesus stretching forth his hand, touched him, saying: I will, be thou made clean. And forthwith his leprosy was cleansed.

4. et ait illi Jesus vide nemini dixeris sed vade ostende te sacerdoti et offer munus quod præcepit Moses in testimonium illis

4. And Jesus saith to him: See thou tell no man: but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift which Moses commanded for a testimony unto them.

5. cum autem introisset Capharnaum accessit ad eum centurio rogans eum

5. And when he had entered into Capharnaum, there came to him a centurion, beseeching him,

6. et dicens Domine puer meus jacet in domo paralyticus et male torquetur

6. And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, and is grieviously tormented.

7. et ait illi Jesus ego veniam et curabo eum

7. And Jesus saith to him: I will come and heal him.

8. et respondens centurio ait Domine non sum dignus ut intres sub tectum meum sed tantum dic verbo et sanabitur puer meus

8. And the centurion making answer, said: Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldst enter under my roof: but only say the word, and my servant shall be healed.

9. nam et ego homo sum sub potestate habens sub me milites et dico huic vade et vadit et alio veni et venit et servo meo fac hoc et facit

9. For I also am a man subject to authority, having under me soldiers; and I say to this, Go, and he goeth, and to another, Come, and he cometh, and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.

10. audiens autem Jesus miratus est et sequentibus se dixit amen dico vobis non inveni tantam fidem in Israël

10. And Jesus hearing this, marvelled; and said to them that followed him: Amen I say to you, I have not found so great faith in Israel.

11. dico autem vobis quod multi ab oriente et occidente venient et recumbent cum Abraham et Isaac et Jacob in regno cælorum

11. And I say to you that many shall come from the east and the west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven:

12. filii autem regni eicientur in tenebras exteriores ibi erit fletus et stridor dentium

12. But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into the exterior darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

13. et dixit Jesus centurioni vade et sicut credidisti fiat tibi et sanatus est puer in hora illa

13. And Jesus said to the centurion: Go, and as thou hast believed, so be it done to thee. And the servant was healed at the same hour.

14. et cum venisset Jesus in domum Petri vidit socrum ejus jacentem et febricitantem

14. And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother lying, and sick of a fever:

15. et tetigit manum ejus et dimisit eam febris et surrexit et ministrabat eis

15. And he touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she arose and ministered to them.

16. vespere autem facto obtulerunt ei multos dæmonia habentes et eiciebat spiritus verbo et omnes male habentes curavit

16. And when evening was come, they brought to him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word: and all that were sick he healed:

17. ut adimpleretur quod dictum est per Esajam prophetam dicentem ipse infirmitates nostras accepit et ægrotationes portavit

17. That it might be fulfilled, which was spoken by the prophet Isaias, saying: He took our infirmities, and bore our diseases.

18. videns autem Jesus turbas multas circum se jussit ire trans fretum

18. And Jesus seeing great multitudes about him, gave orders to pass over the water.

19. et accedens unus scriba ait illi magister sequar te quocumque jeris

19. And a certain scribe came and said to him: Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou shalt go.

20. et dicit ei Jesus vulpes foveas habent et volucres cæli tabernacula Filius autem hominis non habet ubi caput reclinet

20. And Jesus saith to him: The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air nests: but the son of man hath not where to lay his head.

21. alius autem de discipulis ejus ait illi Domine permitte me primum ire et sepelire patrem meum

21. And another of his disciples said to him: Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.

22. Jesus autem ait illi sequere me et dimitte mortuos sepelire mortuos suos

22. But Jesus said to him: Follow me, and let the dead bury their dead.

23. et ascendente eo in navicula secuti sunt eum discipuli ejus

23. And when he entered into the boat, his disciples followed him:

24. et ecce motus magnus factus est in mari ita ut navicula operiretur fluctibus ipse vero dormiebat

24. And behold a great tempest arose in the sea, so that the boat was covered with waves, but he was asleep.

25. et accesserunt et suscitaverunt eum dicentes Domine salva nos perimus

25. And they came to him, and awaked him, saying: Lord, save us, we perish.

26. et dicit eis quid timidi estis modicæ fidei tunc surgens imperavit ventis et mari et facta est tranquillitas magna

26. And Jesus saith to them: Why are you fearful, O ye of little faith? Then rising up he commanded the winds, and the sea, and there came a great calm.

27. porro homines mirati sunt dicentes qualis est hic quia et venti et mare obœdiunt ei

27. But the men wondered, saying: What manner of man is this, for the winds and the sea obey him?

28. et cum venisset trans fretum in regionem Gerasenorum occurrerunt ei duo habentes dæmonia de monumentis exeuntes sævi nimis ita ut nemo posset transire per viam illam

28. And when he was come on the other side of the water, into the country of the Gerasens, there met him two that were possessed with devils, coming out of the sepulchres, exceeding fierce, so that none could pass by that way.

29. et ecce clamaverunt dicentes quid nobis et tibi Fili Dei venisti huc ante tempus torquere nos

29. And behold they cried out, saying: What have we to do with thee, Jesus Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?

30. erat autem non longe ab illis grex porcorum multorum pascens

30. And there was, not far from them, an herd of many swine feeding.

31. dæmones autem rogabant eum dicentes si eicis nos mitte nos in gregem porcorum

31. And the devils besought him, saying: If thou cast us out hence, send us into the herd of swine.

32. et ait illis ite at illi exeuntes abierunt in porcos et ecce impetu abiit totus grex per præceps in mare et mortui sunt in aquis

32. And he said to them: Go. But they going out went into the swine, and behold the whole herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea: and they perished in the waters.

33. pastores autem fugerunt et venientes in civitatem nuntiaverunt omnia et de his qui dæmonia habuerant

33. And they that kept them fled: and coming into the city, told every thing, and concerning them that had been possessed by the devils.

34. et ecce tota civitas exiit obviam Jesu et viso eo rogabant ut transiret a finibus eorum

34. And behold the whole city went out to meet Jesus, and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart from their coasts.
