- New Testament only; original spelling.
1 When he was come downe from the moutayne moch people folowed him.
1 When he came down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.
2 And lo ther came a lepre and worsheped him sayinge: Master if thou wylt thou canst make me clene.
2 Behold, a leper came to him and worshiped him, saying, “Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean.”
3 And Iesus put forthe hys hond and touched hym sayinge: I wyll be thou clene and immediatly hys leprosie was clensed.
3 Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I want to. Be made clean.” Immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
4 And Iesus sayde vnto him. Se thou tell no man but go and shewe thy selfe to the preste and offer the gyfte that Moses commaunded in witnes to them.
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 When Iesus was entred into Capernau ther came vnto him a certayne Centurion and besought hym sayinge:
5 When he came into Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking him for help,
6 Master my seruaunt lyeth sicke at home of the palsye and ys greuously payned.
6 saying, “Lord, my servant lies in the house paralyzed, grievously tormented.”
7 And Iesus sayd vnto hym: I will come and heale him.
7 Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.”
8 The Centurion answered and sayde: Syr I am not worthy that thou shuldest come vnder my rofe but speake the worde only and my servaut shalbe healed.
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 For I also my selfe am a man vndre power and have sowdiers vndre me and I saye to one go and he goeth and to anothre come and he cometh: and to my seruaut do this and he doeth it.
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 When Iesus hearde that he marveled and sayd to them that folowed hym. Derely I say vnto you I have not foude so great fayth: no not in Israel.
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 I say therfore vnto you that many shall come from the eest and weest and shall rest with Abraham Isaac and Iacob in the kingdome of heven:
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 and the chyldren of the kyngdome shalbe cast out in to vtter darcknes: there shalbe wepinge and gnasshing of tethe.
12 but the children of the Kingdom will be thrown out into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
13 The Iesus sayd vnto the Centurion go thy waye and as thou belevest so be it vnto the. And his servaunt was healed the selfe houre.
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 And then Iesus went to Peters housse and sawe hys wyves mother lyinge sicke of a fevre
14 When Jesus came into Peter’s house, he saw his wife’s mother lying sick with a fever.
15 and touched her hande and the fevre left hir: and she arose and ministred vnto them.
15 He touched her hand, and the fever left her. So she got up and served him.
16 When the euen was come they brought vn to him many that were possessed with devyllis. And he cast out the spirites with a worde and healed all that were sicke
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 to fulfill that which was spoke by Esayas the Prophet sayinge. He toke on him oure infirmities and bare oure sickneses
17 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying, “He took our infirmities and bore our diseases.”
18 When Iesus sawe moche people about him he commaunded to go over the water.
18 Now when Jesus saw great multitudes around him, he gave the order to depart to the other side.
19 And ther came a scribe and sayd vnto hym: master I wyll folowe the whyther so ever thou goest.
19 A scribe came and said to him, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.”
20 And Iesus sayd vnto him: the foxes have holes and the bryddes of the ayer have nestes but the sonne of the man hath not wheron to rest his heede.
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 A nothre that was one of hys disciples sayd vnto hym: master suffre me fyrst to go and burye my father.
21 Another of his disciples said to him, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.”
22 But Iesus sayd vnto him: folowe me and let the deed burie their deed.
22 But Jesus said to him, “Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead.”
23 And he entred in to a shyppe and his disciples folowed him.
23 When he got into a boat, his disciples followed him.
24 And beholde there arose a a greate tempest in the see in so moche that the shippe was covered with waves and he was a slepe.
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 And his disciples came vn to him and awoke hym sayinge: master save vs we perishe.
25 The disciples came to him and woke him up, saying, “Save us, Lord! We are dying!”
26 And he sayd vnto them: why are ye fearfull o ye of lytell faithe? Then he arose and rebuked the wyndes and the see and ther folowed a greate calme.
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 And the men marveyled and sayd: what man is this that bothe wyndes and see obey hym?
27 The men marveled, saying, “What kind of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”
28 And when he was come to the other syde in to the countre of the Gergesites ther met him two possessed of devylles which came out of the graves and were out of measure fearce so that no man myght go by that waye.
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 And behold they cryed out sayinge: O Iesu the sonne of God what have we to do with the? Art thou come hyther to torment vs before the tyme be come?
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 And ther was a good waye of from them a greate heerd of swyne fedinge.
30 Now there was a herd of many pigs feeding far away from them.
31 Then the devyles besought him sayinge: if thou cast vs out suffre vs to go oure waye in to the heerd of swyne.
31 The demons begged him, saying, “If you cast us out, permit us to go away into the herd of pigs.”
32 And he sayd vnto the: go youre wayes. Then wet they out and departed into the heerd of swyne And beholde the whoale heerd of swyne was caryed with violence hedlinge in to the see and perisshed in the water.
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 Then the heerdmen fleed and wet their ways in to the cyte and tolde every thinge and what had fortuned vnto the possessed of the devyls.
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 And beholde all the cyte came out and met Iesus. And when they sawe hym they besought hym to departe oute of their costes.
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).
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."

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 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.
