WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 καταβαντι δε αυτω απο του ορουσ ηκολουθησαν αυτω οχλοι πολλοι
1 When he came down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.
2 και ιδου λεπροσ ελθων προσεκυνει αυτω λεγων κυριε εαν θελησ δυνασαι με καθαρισαι
2 Behold, a leper came to him and worshiped him, saying, “Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean.”
3 και εκτεινασ την χειρα ηψατο αυτου ο ιησουσ λεγων θελω καθαρισθητι και ευθεωσ εκαθαρισθη αυτου η λεπρα
3 Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I want to. Be made clean.” Immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
4 και λεγει αυτω ο ιησουσ ορα μηδενι ειπησ αλλα υπαγε σεαυτον δειξον τω ιερει και προσενεγκε το δωρον ο προσεταξεν μωσησ εισ μαρτυριον αυτοισ
4 Jesus said to him, “See that you tell nobody; but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”
5 εισελθοντι δε αυτω εισ καπερναουμ προσηλθεν αυτω εκατονταρχοσ παρακαλων αυτον
5 When he came into Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking him for help,
6 και λεγων κυριε ο παισ μου βεβληται εν τη οικια παραλυτικοσ δεινωσ βασανιζομενοσ
6 saying, “Lord, my servant lies in the house paralyzed, grievously tormented.”
7 και λεγει αυτω ο ιησουσ εγω ελθων θεραπευσω αυτον
7 Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.”
8 και αποκριθεισ ο εκατονταρχοσ εφη κυριε ουκ ειμι ικανοσ ινα μου υπο την στεγην εισελθησ αλλα μονον ειπε λογω και ιαθησεται ο παισ μου
8 The centurion answered, “Lord, I’m not worthy for you to come under my roof. Just say the word, and my servant will be healed.
9 και γαρ εγω ανθρωποσ ειμι υπο εξουσιαν εχων υπ εμαυτον στρατιωτασ και λεγω τουτω πορευθητι και πορευεται και αλλω ερχου και ερχεται και τω δουλω μου ποιησον τουτο και ποιει
9 For I am also a man under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and tell another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and tell my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
10 ακουσασ δε ο ιησουσ εθαυμασεν και ειπεν τοισ ακολουθουσιν αμην λεγω υμιν ουδε εν τω ισραηλ τοσαυτην πιστιν ευρον
10 When Jesus heard it, he marveled and said to those who followed, “Most certainly I tell you, I haven’t found so great a faith, not even in Israel.
11 λεγω δε υμιν οτι πολλοι απο ανατολων και δυσμων ηξουσιν και ανακλιθησονται μετα αβρααμ και ισαακ και ιακωβ εν τη βασιλεια των ουρανων
11 I tell you that many will come from the east and the west, and will sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the Kingdom of Heaven,
12 οι δε υιοι τησ βασιλειασ εκβληθησονται εισ το σκοτοσ το εξωτερον εκει εσται ο κλαυθμοσ και ο βρυγμοσ των οδοντων
12 but the children of the Kingdom will be thrown out into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
13 και ειπεν ο ιησουσ τω εκατονταρχη υπαγε και ωσ επιστευσασ γενηθητω σοι και ιαθη ο παισ αυτου εν τη ωρα εκεινη
13 Jesus said to the centurion, “Go your way. Let it be done for you as you have believed.” His servant was healed in that hour.
14 και ελθων ο ιησουσ εισ την οικιαν πετρου ειδεν την πενθεραν αυτου βεβλημενην και πυρεσσουσαν
14 When Jesus came into Peter’s house, he saw his wife’s mother lying sick with a fever.
15 και ηψατο τησ χειροσ αυτησ και αφηκεν αυτην ο πυρετοσ και ηγερθη και διηκονει αυτω
15 He touched her hand, and the fever left her. So she got up and served him.
16 οψιασ δε γενομενησ προσηνεγκαν αυτω δαιμονιζομενουσ πολλουσ και εξεβαλεν τα πνευματα λογω και παντασ τουσ κακωσ εχοντασ εθεραπευσεν
16 When evening came, they brought to him many possessed with demons. He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick,
17 οπωσ πληρωθη το ρηθεν δια ησαιου του προφητου λεγοντοσ αυτοσ τασ ασθενειασ ημων ελαβεν και τασ νοσουσ εβαστασεν
17 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying, “He took our infirmities and bore our diseases.”
18 ιδων δε ο ιησουσ πολλουσ οχλουσ περι αυτον εκελευσεν απελθειν εισ το περαν
18 Now when Jesus saw great multitudes around him, he gave the order to depart to the other side.
19 και προσελθων εισ γραμματευσ ειπεν αυτω διδασκαλε ακολουθησω σοι οπου εαν απερχη
19 A scribe came and said to him, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.”
20 και λεγει αυτω ο ιησουσ αι αλωπεκεσ φωλεουσ εχουσιν και τα πετεινα του ουρανου κατασκηνωσεισ ο δε υιοσ του ανθρωπου ουκ εχει που την κεφαλην κλινη
20 Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.”
21 ετεροσ δε των μαθητων αυτου ειπεν αυτω κυριε επιτρεψον μοι πρωτον απελθειν και θαψαι τον πατερα μου
21 Another of his disciples said to him, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.”
22 ο δε ιησουσ ειπεν αυτω ακολουθει μοι και αφεσ τουσ νεκρουσ θαψαι τουσ εαυτων νεκρουσ
22 But Jesus said to him, “Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead.”
23 και εμβαντι αυτω εισ το πλοιον ηκολουθησαν αυτω οι μαθηται αυτου
23 When he got into a boat, his disciples followed him.
24 και ιδου σεισμοσ μεγασ εγενετο εν τη θαλασση ωστε το πλοιον καλυπτεσθαι υπο των κυματων αυτοσ δε εκαθευδεν
24 Behold, a violent storm came up on the sea, so much that the boat was covered with the waves; but he was asleep.
25 και προσελθοντεσ οι μαθηται ηγειραν αυτον λεγοντεσ κυριε σωσον ημασ απολλυμεθα
25 The disciples came to him and woke him up, saying, “Save us, Lord! We are dying!”
26 και λεγει αυτοισ τι δειλοι εστε ολιγοπιστοι τοτε εγερθεισ επετιμησεν τοισ ανεμοισ και τη θαλασση και εγενετο γαληνη μεγαλη
26 He said to them, “Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?” Then he got up, rebuked the wind and the sea, and there was a great calm.
27 οι δε ανθρωποι εθαυμασαν λεγοντεσ ποταποσ εστιν ουτοσ οτι και οι ανεμοι και η θαλασσα υπακουουσιν αυτω
27 The men marveled, saying, “What kind of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”
28 και ελθοντι αυτω εισ το περαν εισ την χωραν των γεργεσηνων υπηντησαν αυτω δυο δαιμονιζομενοι εκ των μνημειων εξερχομενοι χαλεποι λιαν ωστε μη ισχυειν τινα παρελθειν δια τησ οδου εκεινησ
28 When he came to the other side, into the country of the Gergesenes, two people possessed by demons met him there, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that nobody could pass that way.
29 και ιδου εκραξαν λεγοντεσ τι ημιν και σοι ιησου υιε του θεου ηλθεσ ωδε προ καιρου βασανισαι ημασ
29 Behold, they cried out, saying, “What do we have to do with you, Jesus, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?”
30 ην δε μακραν απ αυτων αγελη χοιρων πολλων βοσκομενη
30 Now there was a herd of many pigs feeding far away from them.
31 οι δε δαιμονεσ παρεκαλουν αυτον λεγοντεσ ει εκβαλλεισ ημασ επιτρεψον ημιν απελθειν εισ την αγελην των χοιρων
31 The demons begged him, saying, “If you cast us out, permit us to go away into the herd of pigs.”
32 και ειπεν αυτοισ υπαγετε οι δε εξελθοντεσ απηλθον εισ την αγελην των χοιρων και ιδου ωρμησεν πασα η αγελη των χοιρων κατα του κρημνου εισ την θαλασσαν και απεθανον εν τοισ υδασιν
32 He said to them, “Go!” They came out and went into the herd of pigs; and behold, the whole herd of pigs rushed down the cliff into the sea and died in the water.
33 οι δε βοσκοντεσ εφυγον και απελθοντεσ εισ την πολιν απηγγειλαν παντα και τα των δαιμονιζομενων
33 Those who fed them fled and went away into the city and told everything, including what happened to those who were possessed with demons.
34 και ιδου πασα η πολισ εξηλθεν εισ συναντησιν τω ιησου και ιδοντεσ αυτον παρεκαλεσαν οπωσ μεταβη απο των οριων αυτων
34 Behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus. When they saw him, they begged that he would depart from their borders.

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 …

    … 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 …
