1 Сше́дшꙋ же є҆мꙋ̀ съ горы̀, в̾слѣ́дъ є҆гѡ̀ и҆дѧ́хꙋ наро́ди мно́зи.
1 Καταβάντι δὲ αὐτῷ ἀπὸ τοῦ ὄρους ἠκολούθησαν αὐτῷ ὄχλοι πολλοί.
2 И҆ сѐ, прокаже́нъ прише́дъ кла́нѧшесѧ є҆мꙋ̀, глаго́лѧ: гдⷭ҇и, а҆́ще хо́щеши, мо́жеши мѧ̀ ѡ҆чⷭ҇тити.
2 Καὶ ἰδοὺ λεπρὸς ἐλθὼν προσεκύνει αὐτῷ λέγων· Κύριε, ἐὰν θέλῃς, δύνασαί με καθαρίσαι.
3 И҆ просте́ръ рꙋ́кꙋ і҆и҃съ, коснꙋ́сѧ є҆мꙋ̀, гл҃ѧ: хощꙋ̀, ѡ҆чи́стисѧ. И҆ а҆́бїе ѡ҆чи́стисѧ є҆мꙋ̀ прока́за.
3 καὶ ἐκτείνας τὴν χεῖρα ἥψατο αὐτοῦ ὁ Ἰησοῦς λέγων· θέλω, καθαρίσθητι. καὶ εὐθέως ἐκαθαρίσθη αὐτοῦ ἡ λέπρα.
4 И҆ гл҃а є҆мꙋ̀ і҆и҃съ: ви́ждь, никомꙋ́же повѣ́ждь: но ше́дъ покажи́сѧ і҆ере́ови и҆ принесѝ да́ръ, є҆го́же повелѣ̀ (въ зако́нѣ) мѡѷсе́й, во свидѣ́тельство и҆̀мъ.
4 καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· ὅρα μηδενὶ εἴπῃς, ἀλλὰ ὕπαγε σεαυτὸν δεῖξον τῷ ἱερεῖ καὶ προσένεγκε τὸ δῶρον ὃ προσέταξε Μωσῆς εἰς μαρτύριον αὐτοῖς.
5 Вше́дшꙋ же є҆мꙋ̀ въ капернаꙋ́мъ, пристꙋпѝ къ немꙋ̀ со́тникъ, молѧ̀ є҆го̀
5 Εἰσελθόντι δὲ αὐτῷ εἰς Καπερναοὺμ προσῆλθεν αὐτῷ ἑκατόνταρχος παρακαλῶν αὐτὸν καὶ λέγων·
6 и҆ глаго́лѧ: гдⷭ҇и, ѻ҆́трокъ мо́й лежи́тъ въ домꙋ̀ разсла́бленъ, лю́тѣ стражда̀.
6 Κύριε, ὁ παῖς μου βέβληται ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ παραλυτικός, δεινῶς βασανιζόμενος.
7 И҆ гл҃а є҆мꙋ̀ і҆и҃съ: а҆́зъ прише́дъ и҆сцѣлю̀ є҆го̀.
7 καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· ἐγὼ ἐλθὼν θεραπεύσω αὐτόν.
8 И҆ ѿвѣща́въ со́тникъ, речѐ (є҆мꙋ̀): гдⷭ҇и, нѣ́смь досто́инъ, да под̾ кро́въ мо́й вни́деши: но то́кмѡ рцы̀ сло́во, и҆ и҆сцѣлѣ́етъ ѻ҆́трокъ мо́й:
8 καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ ἑκατόνταρχος ἔφη· Κύριε, οὐκ εἰμὶ ἱκανὸς ἵνα μου ὑπὸ τὴν στέγην εἰσέλθῃς· ἀλλὰ μόνον εἰπὲ λόγῳ, καὶ ἰαθήσεται ὁ παῖς μου.
9 и҆́бо а҆́зъ человѣ́къ є҆́смь под̾ вла́стїю, и҆мы́й под̾ собо́ю во́ины: и҆ глаго́лю семꙋ̀: и҆дѝ, и҆ и҆́детъ: и҆ дрꙋго́мꙋ: прїидѝ, и҆ прихо́дитъ: и҆ рабꙋ̀ моемꙋ̀: сотворѝ сїѐ, и҆ сотвори́тъ.
9 καὶ γὰρ ἐγὼ ἄνθρωπός εἰμι ὑπὸ ἐξουσίαν, ἔχων ὑπ᾽ ἐμαυτὸν στρατιώτας, καὶ λέγω τούτῳ, πορεύθητι, καὶ πορεύεται, καὶ ἄλλῳ, ἔρχου, καὶ ἔρχεται, καὶ τῷ δούλῳ μου, ποίησον τοῦτο, καὶ ποιεῖ.
10 Слы́шавъ же і҆и҃съ, ᲂу҆диви́сѧ, и҆ речѐ грѧдꙋ́щымъ по не́мъ: а҆ми́нь гл҃ю ва́мъ: ни во і҆и҃ли толи́ки вѣ́ры ѡ҆брѣто́хъ.
10 ἀκούσας δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐθαύμασε καὶ εἶπε τοῖς ἀκολουθοῦσιν· ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, οὐδὲ ἐν τῷ Ἰσραὴλ τοσαύτην πίστιν εὗρον.
11 Гл҃ю же ва́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ мно́зи ѿ востѡ́къ и҆ за̑падъ прїи́дꙋтъ и҆ возлѧ́гꙋтъ со а҆враа́момъ и҆ і҆саа́комъ и҆ і҆а́кѡвомъ во црⷭ҇твїи нбⷭ҇нѣмъ:
11 λέγω δὲ ὑμῖν ὅτι πολλοὶ ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν καὶ δυσμῶν ἥξουσι καὶ ἀνακλιθήσονται μετὰ Ἀβραὰμ καὶ Ἰσαὰκ καὶ Ἰακὼβ ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τῶν οὐρανῶν,
12 сы́нове же ца́рствїѧ и҆згна́ни бꙋ́дꙋтъ во тьмꙋ̀ кромѣ́шнюю: тꙋ̀ бꙋ́детъ пла́чь и҆ скре́жетъ зꙋбѡ́мъ.
12 οἱ δὲ υἱοὶ τῆς βασιλείας ἐκβληθήσονται εἰς τὸ σκότος τὸ ἐξώτερον· ἐκεῖ ἔσται ὁ κλαυθμὸς καὶ ὁ βρυγμὸς τῶν ὀδόντων.
13 И҆ речѐ і҆и҃съ со́тникꙋ: и҆дѝ, и҆ ꙗ҆́коже вѣ́ровалъ є҆сѝ, бꙋ́ди тебѣ̀. И҆ и҆сцѣлѣ̀ ѻ҆́трокъ є҆гѡ̀ въ то́й ча́съ.
13 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς τῷ ἑκατοντάρχῳ· ὕπαγε, καὶ ὡς ἐπίστευσας γενηθήτω σοι. καὶ ἰάθη ὁ παῖς αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ ὥρᾳ ἐκείνῃ.
14 И҆ прише́дъ і҆и҃съ въ до́мъ петро́въ, ви́дѣ те́щꙋ є҆гѡ̀ лежа́щꙋ и҆ ѻ҆гне́мъ жего́мꙋ,
14 Καὶ ἐλθὼν ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν Πέτρου εἶδε τὴν πενθερὰν αὐτοῦ βεβλημένην καὶ πυρέσσουσαν·
15 и҆ прикоснꙋ́сѧ рꙋцѣ̀ є҆ѧ̀, и҆ ѡ҆ста́ви ю҆̀ ѻ҆́гнь: и҆ воста̀ и҆ слꙋжа́ше є҆мꙋ̀.
15 καὶ ἥψατο τῆς χειρὸς αὐτῆς, καὶ ἀφῆκεν αὐτὴν ὁ πυρετός, καὶ ἠγέρθη καὶ διηκόνει αὐτῷ.
16 По́здѣ же бы́вшꙋ, приведо́ша къ немꙋ̀ бѣ̑сны мнѡ́ги: и҆ и҆згна̀ дꙋ́хи сло́вомъ и҆ всѧ̑ болѧ́щыѧ и҆сцѣлѝ:
16 Ὀψίας δὲ γενομένης προσήνεγκαν αὐτῷ δαιμονιζομένους πολλούς, καὶ ἐξέβαλε τὰ πνεύματα λόγῳ καὶ πάντας τοὺς κακῶς ἔχοντας ἐθεράπευσεν,
17 да сбꙋ́детсѧ рече́нное и҆са́їемъ прⷪ҇ро́комъ, глаго́лющимъ: то́й недꙋ́ги на́шѧ прїѧ́тъ и҆ бѡлѣ́зни понесѐ.
17 ὅπως πληρωθῇ τὸ ῥηθὲν διὰ Ἡσαΐου τοῦ προφήτου λέγοντος· αὐτὸς τὰς ἀσθενείας ἡμῶν ἔλαβε καὶ τὰς νόσους ἐβάστασεν.
18 Ви́дѣвъ же і҆и҃съ мнѡ́ги наро́ды ѡ҆́крестъ себє̀, повелѣ̀ (ᲂу҆чн҃кѡ́мъ) и҆тѝ на ѡ҆́нъ по́лъ.
18 Ἰδὼν δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς πολλοὺς ὄχλους περὶ αὐτὸν ἐκέλευσεν ἀπελθεῖν εἰς τὸ πέραν.
19 И҆ пристꙋ́пль є҆ди́нъ кни́жникъ, речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: ᲂу҆чт҃лю, и҆дꙋ̀ по тебѣ̀, а҆́може а҆́ще и҆́деши.
19 Καὶ προσελθὼν εἷς γραμματεὺς εἶπεν αὐτῷ· διδάσκαλε, ἀκολουθήσω σοι ὅπου ἐὰν ἀπέρχῃ.
20 Гл҃а є҆мꙋ̀ і҆и҃съ: ли́си ꙗ҆́звины и҆́мꙋтъ, и҆ пти̑цы небє́сныѧ гнѣ́зда: сн҃ъ же чл҃вѣ́ческїй не и҆́мать гдѣ̀ главы̀ подклони́ти.
20 καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· αἱ ἀλώπεκες φωλεοὺς ἔχουσι καὶ τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ κατασκηνώσεις, ὁ δὲ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου οὐκ ἔχει ποῦ τὴν κεφαλὴν κλίνῃ.
21 Дрꙋгі́й же ѿ ᲂу҆чн҃къ є҆гѡ̀ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: гдⷭ҇и, повели́ ми пре́жде и҆тѝ и҆ погребстѝ ѻ҆тца̀ моего̀.
21 Ἕτερος δὲ τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· Κύριε, ἐπίτρεψόν μοι πρῶτον ἀπελθεῖν καὶ θάψαι τὸν πατέρα μου.
22 І҆и҃съ же речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: грѧдѝ по мнѣ̀ и҆ ѡ҆ста́ви ме́ртвыхъ погребстѝ своѧ̑ мертвецы̀.
22 ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῷ· ἀκολούθει μοι, καὶ ἄφες τοὺς νεκροὺς θάψαι τοὺς ἑαυτῶν νεκρούς.
23 И҆ влѣ́зшꙋ є҆мꙋ̀ въ кора́бль, по не́мъ и҆до́ша ᲂу҆чн҃цы̀ є҆гѡ̀.
23 Καὶ ἐμβάντι αὐτῷ εἰς [τὸ] πλοῖον ἠκολούθησαν αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ.
24 И҆ сѐ, трꙋ́съ вели́къ бы́сть въ мо́ри, ꙗ҆́коже кораблю̀ покрыва́тисѧ волна́ми: то́й же спа́ше.
24 καὶ ἰδοὺ σεισμὸς μέγας ἐγένετο ἐν τῇ θαλάσσῃ, ὥστε τὸ πλοῖον καλύπτεσθαι ὑπὸ τῶν κυμάτων· αὐτὸς δὲ ἐκάθευδε.
25 И҆ прише́дше ᲂу҆чн҃цы̀ є҆гѡ̀ возбꙋди́ша є҆го̀, глаго́люще: гдⷭ҇и, сп҃си́ ны, погиба́емъ.
25 καὶ προσελθόντες οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ ἤγειραν αὐτὸν λέγοντες· Κύριε, σῶσον ἡμᾶς, ἀπολλύμεθα.
26 И҆ гл҃а и҆̀мъ: что̀ страшли́ви є҆стѐ, маловѣ́ри; Тогда̀ воста́въ запретѝ вѣ́трѡмъ и҆ мо́рю, и҆ бы́сть тишина̀ ве́лїѧ.
26 καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς· τί δειλοί ἐστε, ὀλιγόπιστοι; τότε ἐγερθεὶς ἐπετίμησε τοῖς ἀνέμοις καὶ τῇ θαλάσσῃ, καὶ ἐγένετο γαλήνη μεγάλη.
27 Человѣ́цы же чꙋди́шасѧ, глаго́люще: кто̀ є҆́сть се́й, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆ вѣ́три и҆ мо́ре послꙋ́шаютъ є҆гѡ̀;
27 οἱ δὲ ἄνθρωποι ἐθαύμασαν λέγοντες· ποταπός ἐστιν οὗτος, ὅτι καὶ οἱ ἄνεμοι καὶ ἡ θάλασσα ὑπακούουσιν αὐτῷ;
28 И҆ прише́дшꙋ є҆мꙋ̀ на ѡ҆́нъ по́лъ, въ странꙋ̀ гергеси́нскꙋю, срѣто́ста є҆го̀ два̀ бѣ̑сна ѿ грѡ́бъ и҆сходѧ̑ща, лю̑та ѕѣлѡ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ не мощѝ никомꙋ̀ минꙋ́ти пꙋте́мъ тѣ́мъ.
28 Καὶ ἐλθόντι αὐτῷ εἰς τὸ πέραν εἰς τὴν χώραν τῶν Γεργεσηνῶν ὑπήντησαν αὐτῷ δύο δαιμονιζόμενοι ἐκ τῶν μνημείων ἐξερχόμενοι, χαλεποὶ λίαν, ὥστε μὴ ἰσχύειν τινὰ παρελθεῖν διὰ τῆς ὁδοῦ ἐκείνης.
29 И҆ сѐ, возопи́ста глагѡ́люща: что̀ на́ма и҆ тебѣ̀, і҆и҃се сн҃е бж҃їй; прише́лъ є҆сѝ сѣ́мѡ пре́жде вре́мене мꙋ́чити на́съ.
29 καὶ ἰδοὺ ἔκραξαν λέγοντες· τί ἡμῖν καὶ σοί, Ἰησοῦ υἱὲ τοῦ Θεοῦ; ἦλθες ὧδε πρὸ καιροῦ βασανίσαι ἡμᾶς;
30 Бѧ́ше же дале́че ѿ нею̀ ста́до свині́й мно́го пасо́мо.
30 ἦν δὲ μακρὰν ἀπ᾽ αὐτῶν ἀγέλη χοίρων πολλῶν βοσκομένη.
31 Бѣ́си же молѧ́хꙋ є҆го̀, глаго́люще: а҆́ще и҆зго́ниши ны̀, повелѝ на́мъ и҆тѝ въ ста́до свино́е.
31 οἱ δὲ δαίμονες παρεκάλουν αὐτὸν λέγοντες· εἰ ἐκβάλλεις ἡμᾶς, ἐπίτρεψον ἡμῖν ἀπελθεῖν εἰς τὴν ἀγέλην τῶν χοίρων.
32 И҆ речѐ и҆̀мъ: и҆ди́те. Ѻ҆ни́ же и҆зше́дше и҆до́ша въ ста́до свино́е: и҆ сѐ, (а҆́бїе) ᲂу҆стреми́сѧ ста́до всѐ по бре́гꙋ въ мо́ре, и҆ ᲂу҆топо́ша въ вода́хъ.
32 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· ὑπάγετε. οἱ δὲ ἐξελθόντες ἀπῆλθον εἰς τὴν ἀγέλην τῶν χοίρων· καὶ ἰδοὺ ὥρμησε πᾶσα ἡ ἀγέλη τῶν χοίρων κατὰ τοῦ κρημνοῦ εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν καὶ ἀπέθανον ἐν τοῖς ὕδασιν.
33 Пасꙋ́щїи же бѣжа́ша, и҆ ше́дше во гра́дъ, возвѣсти́ша всѧ̑, и҆ ѡ҆ бѣсно́ю.
33 οἱ δὲ βόσκοντες ἔφυγον, καὶ ἀπελθόντες εἰς τὴν πόλιν ἀπήγγειλαν πάντα καὶ τὰ τῶν δαιμονιζομένων.
34 И҆ сѐ, ве́сь гра́дъ и҆зы́де въ срѣ́тенїе і҆и҃сови: и҆ ви́дѣвше є҆го̀, моли́ша, ꙗ҆́кѡ дабы̀ преше́лъ ѿ предѣ̑лъ и҆́хъ.
34 καὶ ἰδοὺ πᾶσα ἡ πόλις ἐξῆλθεν εἰς συνάντησιν τῷ Ἰησοῦ, καὶ ἰδόντες αὐτὸν παρεκάλεσαν ὅπως μεταβῇ ἀπὸ τῶν ὁρίων αὐτῶν.

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).

  1. Commentary 8:8 Augustine of Hippo, Sermons on Selected Lessons of the New Testament (Sermon XII)

    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 …

  2. Commentary 8:5 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily XXVI)

    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.

  3. Quotes verse 8:9 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book I, Chapter VI)

    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 …
