Matthew 8 Free Bible Version
Audio: World English Bible (WEB), read by Winfred W. Henson · About the recordings
1 Large crowds followed Jesus once he'd come down from the mountain.
1 Y COMO descendió del monte, le seguían muchas gentes.
2 A leper approached him and bowed down, worshiping him, and said, “Lord, if you're willing, please heal me.”
2 Y he aquí un leproso vino, y le adoraba, diciendo: Señor, si quisieres, puedes limpiarme.
3 Jesus reached out and touched him with his hand. “I am willing,” he said. “Be healed!” Immediately he was healed from his leprosy.
3 Y extendiendo Jesús su mano, le tocó, diciendo: Quiero; sé limpio. Y luego su lepra fué limpiada.
4 “Make sure you don't tell anyone,” Jesus told him. “Go and show yourself to the priest and give the offering which Moses required as public proof.”
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 When Jesus entered Capernaum, a centurion came up to him, begging for help,
5 Y entrando Jesús en Capernaum, vino á él un centurión, rogándole,
6 “Lord, my servant is at home, lying down, unable to move. He's in terrible agony.”
6 Y diciendo: Señor, mi mozo yace en casa paralítico, gravemente atormentado.
7 “I will come and heal him,” Jesus replied.
7 Y Jesús le dijo: Yo iré y le sanaré.
8 The centurion answered, “Lord, I don't merit a visit to my home. Just say the word, and my servant will be healed.
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 For I am myself under the authority of superiors, while I also have soldiers under my command. I command one, ‘Go!’ and he goes. I command another, ‘Come!’ and he comes. I tell 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 When Jesus heard what he said, he was astonished. He told those who were following him, “I tell you the truth, I haven't found this kind of trust anywhere 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 I tell you that many will come from the east and the west, and sit down 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 heirs of the kingdom will be thrown out into utter darkness where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.”
12 Mas los hijos del reino serán echados á las tinieblas de afuera: allí será el lloro y el crujir de dientes.
13 Then Jesus told the centurion, “Go home. Because you trusted that it would happen, what you asked for has been done.” The servant was healed right away.
13 Entonces Jesús dijo al centurión: Ve, y como creiste te sea hecho. Y su mozo fué sano en el mismo momento.
14 When Jesus arrived at Peter's house, he saw that Peter's mother-in-law was sick in bed with a high fever.
14 Y vino Jesús á casa de Pedro, y vió á su suegra echada en cama, y con fiebre.
15 He touched her hand and the fever left her. She got up and began making him a meal.
15 Y tocó su mano, y la fiebre la dejó: y ella se levantó, y les servía.
16 When evening came they brought many who were demon-possessed to Jesus. He made the spirits leave at his command, and he healed all those who were sick.
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 This fulfilled what the prophet Isaiah said: “He healed our diseases, and freed us from our illnesses.”
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 When Jesus saw the crowds around him, he gave instructions that they should go to the other side of the lake.
18 Y viendo Jesús muchas gentes alrededor de sí, mandó pasar á la otra parte [del lago].
19 One of the religious teachers approached him and said, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go!”
19 Y llegándose un escriba, le dijo: Maestro, te seguiré á donde quiera que fueres.
20 “Foxes have their dens, and wild birds have their nests, but the Son of man has nowhere he can lie down and rest,” Jesus told him.
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 Another disciple said to Jesus, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”
21 Y otro de sus discípulos le dijo: Señor, dame licencia para que vaya primero, y entierre á mi padre.
22 “Follow me! Leave the dead to bury their own dead,” Jesus replied.
22 Y Jesús le dijo: Sígueme; deja que los muertos entierren á sus muertos.
23 Then Jesus got into a boat and his disciples went with him.
23 Y entrando él en el barco, sus discípulos le siguieron.
24 A violent storm suddenly blew up, and waves crashed over the boat, but Jesus went on 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 The disciples went over to him and woke him up. “Save us, Lord! We're going to drown!” they shouted.
25 Y llegándose sus discípulos, le despertaron, diciendo: Señor, sálvanos, [que] perecemos.
26 “Why are you so afraid? Why do you trust so little?” he asked them. Then he got up, and commanded the winds and the waves to stop. Everything became absolutely 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 The disciples were astonished, and said, “Who is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!”
27 Y los hombres se maravillaron, diciendo: ¿Qué hombre es éste, que aun los vientos y la mar le obedecen?
28 When he arrived on the other side, in the region of the Gadarenes, two demon-possessed men came out of the graveyard to meet him. They were so dangerous that nobody dared to travel 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 They shouted out, “What have you got to do with us, you Son of God? Have you come to torture us before our time?”
29 Y he aquí clamaron, diciendo: ¿Qué tenemos contigo, Jesús, Hijo de Dios? ¿has venido acá á molestarnos antes de tiempo?
30 In the distance a large herd of pigs was feeding.
30 Y estaba lejos de ellos un hato de muchos puercos paciendo.
31 The demons pleaded with him, “If you're going to drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs.”
31 Y los demonios le rogaron, diciendo: Si nos echas, permítenos ir á aquel hato de puercos.
32 “Go!” said Jesus. The demons left the men and went into the pigs. The whole herd ran down the steep hillside into the sea and drowned.
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 The pig herders ran away. They went to the town and told the people there everything that had taken place, and what had happened to the demon-possessed men.
33 Y los porqueros huyeron, y viniendo á la ciudad, contaron todas las cosas, y lo que había pasado con los endemoniados.
34 The whole town came out to meet Jesus. When they found him, they begged him to leave their district.
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.
