1 And when he had come down from the mountain, great numbers of people came after him.
1 Y COMO descendió del monte, le seguían muchas gentes.
2 And a leper came and gave him worship, saying, Lord, if it is your pleasure, you have power to make me clean.
2 Y he aquí un leproso vino, y le adoraba, diciendo: Señor, si quisieres, puedes limpiarme.
3 And he put his hand on him, saying, It is my pleasure; be clean. And straight away he was made clean.
3 Y extendiendo Jesús su mano, le tocó, diciendo: Quiero; sé limpio. Y luego su lepra fué limpiada.
4 And Jesus said to him, See that you say nothing about this to anyone; but go and let the priest see you and make the offering which was ordered by Moses, for a witness to them.
4 Entonces Jesús le dijo: Mira, no lo digas á nadie; mas ve, muéstrate al sacerdote, y ofrece el presente que mandó Moisés, para testimonio á ellos.
5 And when Jesus was come into Capernaum, a certain captain came to him with a request,
5 Y entrando Jesús en Capernaum, vino á él un centurión, rogándole,
6 Saying, Lord, my servant is ill in bed at the house, with no power in his body, and in great pain.
6 Y diciendo: Señor, mi mozo yace en casa paralítico, gravemente atormentado.
7 And he said to him, I will come and make him well.
7 Y Jesús le dijo: Yo iré y le sanaré.
8 And the captain in answer said, Lord, I am not good enough for you to come under my roof; but only say the word, and my servant will be made well.
8 Y respondió el centurión, y dijo: Señor, no soy digno de que entres debajo de mi techado; mas solamente di la palabra, y mi mozo sanará.
9 Because I myself am a man under authority, having under me fighting men; and I say to this one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my servant, Do this, and he does it.
9 Porque también yo soy hombre bajo de potestad, y tengo bajo 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.
10 And when these words came to the ears of Jesus he was surprised, and said to those who came after him, Truly I say to you, I have not seen such great faith, no, not in Israel.
10 Y oyendo Jesús, se maravilló, y dijo á los que [le] seguían: De cierto os digo, que ni aun en Israel he hallado fe tanta.
11 And I say to you that numbers will come from the east and the west, and will take their seats with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven:
11 Y os digo que vendrán muchos del oriente y del occidente, y se sentarán con Abraham, é Isaac, y Jacob, en el reino de los cielos:
12 But the sons of the kingdom will be put out into the dark, and there will be weeping and cries of pain.
12 Mas los hijos del reino serán echados á las tinieblas de afuera: allí será el lloro y el crujir de dientes.
13 And Jesus said to the captain, Go in peace; as your faith is, so let it be done to you. And the servant was made well in that hour.
13 Entonces Jesús dijo al centurión: Ve, y como creiste te sea hecho. Y su mozo fué sano en el mismo momento.
14 And when Jesus had come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother in bed, very ill.
14 Y vino Jesús á casa de Pedro, y vió á su suegra echada en cama, y con fiebre.
15 And he put his hand on hers and the disease went from her, and she got up and took care of his needs.
15 Y tocó su mano, y la fiebre la dejó: y ella se levantó, y les servía.
16 And in the evening, they took to him a number of people who had evil spirits; and he sent the spirits out of them with a word, and made well all who were ill;
16 Y como fué ya tarde, trajeron á él muchos endemoniados; y echó los demonios con la palabra, y sanó á todos los enfermos;
17 So that the word of Isaiah the prophet might come true: He himself took our pains and our diseases.
17 Para que se cumpliese lo que fué dicho por el profeta Isaías, que dijo: El mismo tomó nuestras enfermedades, y llevó nuestras dolencias.
18 Now when Jesus saw a great mass of people about him, he gave an order to go to the other side.
18 Y viendo Jesús muchas gentes alrededor de sí, mandó pasar á la otra parte [del lago].
19 And there came a scribe and said to him, Master, I will come after you wherever you go.
19 Y llegándose un escriba, le dijo: Maestro, te seguiré á donde quiera que fueres.
20 And Jesus said to him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of heaven have a resting-place; but the Son of man has nowhere to put his head.
20 Y Jesús le dijo: Las zorras tienen cavernas, y las aves del cielo nidos; mas el Hijo del hombre no tiene donde recueste su cabeza.
21 And another of the disciples said to him, Lord, let me first go and give the last honours to my father.
21 Y otro de sus discípulos le dijo: Señor, dame licencia para que vaya primero, y entierre á mi padre.
22 But Jesus said to him, Come after me; and let the dead take care of their dead.
22 Y Jesús le dijo: Sígueme; deja que los muertos entierren á sus muertos.
23 And when he had got into a boat, his disciples went after him.
23 Y entrando él en el barco, sus discípulos le siguieron.
24 And there came up a great storm in the sea, so that the boat was covered with the waves: but he was sleeping.
24 Y he aquí, fué hecho en la mar un gran movimiento, que el barco se cubría de las ondas; mas él dormía.
25 And they came to him, and, awaking him, said, Help, Lord; destruction is near.
25 Y llegándose sus discípulos, le despertaron, diciendo: Señor, sálvanos, [que] perecemos.
26 And he said to them, Why are you full of fear, O you of little faith? Then he got up and gave orders to the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.
26 Y él les dice: ¿Por qué teméis, [hombres] de poca fe? Entonces, levantándose, reprendió á los vientos y á la mar; y fué grande bonanza.
27 And the men were full of wonder, saying, What sort of man is this, that even the winds and the sea do his orders?
27 Y los hombres se maravillaron, diciendo: ¿Qué hombre es éste, que aun los vientos y la mar le obedecen?
28 And when he had come to the other side, to the country of the Gadarenes, there came out to him from the place of the dead, two who had evil spirits, so violent that no man was able to go that way.
28 Y como él hubo llegado en la otra ribera al país de los Gergesenos, le vinieron al encuentro dos endemoniados que salían de los sepulcros, fieros en gran manera, que nadie podía pasar por aquel camino.
29 And they gave a loud cry, saying, What have we to do with you, you Son of God? Have you come here to give us punishment before the time?
29 Y he aquí clamaron, diciendo: ¿Qué tenemos contigo, Jesús, Hijo de Dios? ¿has venido acá á molestarnos antes de tiempo?
30 Now there was, some distance away, a great herd of pigs taking their food.
30 Y estaba lejos de ellos un hato de muchos puercos paciendo.
31 And the evil spirits made strong prayers to him, saying, If you send us out, let us go into the herd of pigs.
31 Y los demonios le rogaron, diciendo: Si nos echas, permítenos ir á aquel hato de puercos.
32 And he said to them, Go. And they came out, and went into the pigs; and the herd went rushing down a sharp slope into the sea and came to their end in the water.
32 Y les dijo: Id. Y ellos salieron, y se fueron á aquel hato de puercos: y he aquí, todo el hato de los puercos se precipitó de un despeñadero en la mar, y murieron en las aguas.
33 And their keepers went in flight to the town and gave an account of everything, and of the men who had the evil spirits.
33 Y los porqueros huyeron, y viniendo á la ciudad, contaron todas las cosas, y lo que había pasado con los endemoniados.
34 And all the town came out to Jesus; and seeing him they made request that he would go away from their part of the country.
34 Y he aquí, toda la ciudad salió á encontrar á Jesús: y cuando le vieron, le rogaban que saliese de sus términos.

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).
We have heard, as the Gospel was being read, the praise of our faith as manifested in humility. For when the Lord Jesus promised that He would go to the Centurion's house to heal His servant, He answered, "I am not worthy that Thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and he shall be healed." By …

The leper came unto Him "when He was come down from the mountain," but this centurion, "when He was entered into Capernaum." Wherefore then did neither the one nor the other go up into the mountain? Not out of remissness, for indeed the faith of them both was fervent, but in order not to interrupt His teaching.

They maintain that he is the centurion mentioned in the Gospel, who addressed the Saviour in these words: "For I also am one having soldiers and servants under my authority; and whatsoever I command they do." They further hold that he will continue administering the affairs of the world as long as that is fitting and needful, and specially that …
… of the gospel, by which the citizens of the heavenly city are delivered from divers errors and gathered together from divers wanderings, to whom his Lord has said, when anxious about the burial of his father, "Follow me, and let the dead bury their dead?" Regulus, in order not to break his oath, even with his most cruel enemies, returned …

It was in this way that the centurion also said, "I am not fit that thou shouldest enter under my roof;" because of this, he became worthy, and was "marvelled at" above all Jews.
