PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Ότε δε κατέβη από του όρους, ηκολούθησαν αυτόν όχλοι πολλοί.
1 When he came down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.
1 Καταβάντι δὲ αὐτῷ ἀπὸ τοῦ ὄρους ἠκολούθησαν αὐτῷ ὄχλοι πολλοί.
2 Και ιδού, λεπρός ελθών προσεκύνει αυτόν, λέγων· Κύριε, εάν θέλης, δύνασαι να με καθαρίσης.
2 Behold, a leper came to him and worshiped him, saying, “Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean.”
2 Καὶ ἰδοὺ λεπρὸς ἐλθὼν προσεκύνει αὐτῷ λέγων· Κύριε, ἐὰν θέλῃς, δύνασαί με καθαρίσαι.
3 Και εκτείνας την χείρα ο Ιησούς ήγγισεν αυτόν, λέγων· Θέλω, καθαρίσθητι. Και ευθύς εκαθαρίσθη η λέπρα αυτού.
3 Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I want to. Be made clean.” Immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
3 καὶ ἐκτείνας τὴν χεῖρα ἥψατο αὐτοῦ ὁ Ἰησοῦς λέγων· θέλω, καθαρίσθητι. καὶ εὐθέως ἐκαθαρίσθη αὐτοῦ ἡ λέπρα.
4 Και λέγει προς αυτόν ο Ιησούς· Πρόσεχε μη είπης τούτο εις μηδένα, αλλ' ύπαγε, δείξον σεαυτόν εις τον ιερέα και πρόσφερε το δώρον, το οποίον προσέταξεν ο Μωϋσής διά μαρτυρίαν εις αυτούς.
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.”
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 Ότε δε εισήλθεν ο Ιησούς εις Καπερναούμ, προσήλθε προς αυτόν εκατόνταρχος παρακαλών αυτόν
5 When he came into Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking him for help,
5 Εἰσελθόντι δὲ αὐτῷ εἰς Καπερναοὺμ προσῆλθεν αὐτῷ ἑκατόνταρχος παρακαλῶν αὐτὸν καὶ λέγων·
6 και λέγων· Κύριε, ο δούλός μου κείται εν τη οικία παραλυτικός, δεινώς βασανιζόμενος.
6 saying, “Lord, my servant lies in the house paralyzed, grievously tormented.”
6 Κύριε, ὁ παῖς μου βέβληται ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ παραλυτικός, δεινῶς βασανιζόμενος.
7 Και λέγει προς αυτόν ο Ιησούς· Εγώ ελθών θέλω θεραπεύσει αυτόν.
7 Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.”
7 καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· ἐγὼ ἐλθὼν θεραπεύσω αὐτόν.
8 Και αποκριθείς ο εκατόνταρχος είπε· Κύριε, δεν είμαι άξιος να εισέλθης υπό την στέγην μου· αλλά μόνον ειπέ λόγον, και θέλει ιατρευθή ο δούλός 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.
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 Διότι και εγώ είμαι άνθρωπος υπό εξουσίαν, έχων υπ' εμαυτόν στρατιώτας, και λέγω προς τούτον, Ύπαγε, και υπάγει, και προς άλλον, Έρχου, και έρχεται, και προς τον δούλον μου, Κάμε τούτο, και κάμνει.
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.”
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 Ακούσας δε ο Ιησούς εθαύμασε και είπε προς τους ακολουθούντας· Αληθώς σας λέγω, ουδέ εν τω Ισραήλ εύρον τοσαύτην πίστιν.
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.
10 ἀκούσας δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐθαύμασε καὶ εἶπε τοῖς ἀκολουθοῦσιν· ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, οὐδὲ ἐν τῷ Ἰσραὴλ τοσαύτην πίστιν εὗρον.
11 Σας λέγω δε ότι πολλοί θέλουσιν ελθεί από ανατολών και δυσμών και θέλουσι καθήσει μετά του Αβραάμ και Ισαάκ και Ιακώβ εν τη βασιλεία των ουρανών,
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,
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 οι δε υιοί της βασιλείας θέλουσιν εκβληθή εις το σκότος το εξώτερον· εκεί θέλει είσθαι ο κλαυθμός και ο τριγμός των οδόντων.
12 but the children of the Kingdom will be thrown out into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
12 οἱ δὲ υἱοὶ τῆς βασιλείας ἐκβληθήσονται εἰς τὸ σκότος τὸ ἐξώτερον· ἐκεῖ ἔσται ὁ κλαυθμὸς καὶ ὁ βρυγμὸς τῶν ὀδόντων.
13 Και είπεν ο Ιησούς προς τον εκατόνταρχον, Ύπαγε, και ως επίστευσας, ας γείνη εις σε. Και ιατρεύθη ο δούλος αυτού εν τη ώρα εκείνη.
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.
13 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς τῷ ἑκατοντάρχῳ· ὕπαγε, καὶ ὡς ἐπίστευσας γενηθήτω σοι. καὶ ἰάθη ὁ παῖς αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ ὥρᾳ ἐκείνῃ.
14 Και ελθών ο Ιησούς εις την οικίαν του Πέτρου, είδε την πενθεράν αυτού κατάκοιτον και πάσχουσαν πυρετόν·
14 When Jesus came into Peter’s house, he saw his wife’s mother lying sick with a fever.
14 Καὶ ἐλθὼν ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν Πέτρου εἶδε τὴν πενθερὰν αὐτοῦ βεβλημένην καὶ πυρέσσουσαν·
15 και επίασε την χείρα αυτής, και αφήκεν αυτήν ο πυρετός, και εσηκώθη και υπηρέτει αυτούς.
15 He touched her hand, and the fever left her. So she got up and served him.
15 καὶ ἥψατο τῆς χειρὸς αὐτῆς, καὶ ἀφῆκεν αὐτὴν ὁ πυρετός, καὶ ἠγέρθη καὶ διηκόνει αὐτῷ.
16 Και ότε έγεινεν εσπέρα, έφεραν προς αυτόν δαιμονιζομένους πολλούς, και εξέβαλε τα πνεύματα με λόγον και πάντας τους κακώς έχοντας εθεράπευσε,
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,
16 Ὀψίας δὲ γενομένης προσήνεγκαν αὐτῷ δαιμονιζομένους πολλούς, καὶ ἐξέβαλε τὰ πνεύματα λόγῳ καὶ πάντας τοὺς κακῶς ἔχοντας ἐθεράπευσεν,
17 διά να πληρωθή το ρηθέν διά Ησαΐου του προφήτου, λέγοντος· Αυτός τας ασθενείας ημών έλαβε και τας νόσους εβάστασεν.
17 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying, “He took our infirmities and bore our diseases.”
17 ὅπως πληρωθῇ τὸ ῥηθὲν διὰ Ἡσαΐου τοῦ προφήτου λέγοντος· αὐτὸς τὰς ἀσθενείας ἡμῶν ἔλαβε καὶ τὰς νόσους ἐβάστασεν.
18 Ιδών δε ο Ιησούς πολλούς όχλους περί εαυτόν, προσέταξε να αναχωρήσωσιν εις το πέραν.
18 Now when Jesus saw great multitudes around him, he gave the order to depart to the other side.
18 Ἰδὼν δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς πολλοὺς ὄχλους περὶ αὐτὸν ἐκέλευσεν ἀπελθεῖν εἰς τὸ πέραν.
19 Και πλησιάσας εις γραμματεύς είπε προς αυτόν, Διδάσκαλε, θέλω σοι ακολουθήσει όπου αν υπάγης.
19 A scribe came and said to him, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.”
19 Καὶ προσελθὼν εἷς γραμματεὺς εἶπεν αὐτῷ· διδάσκαλε, ἀκολουθήσω σοι ὅπου ἐὰν ἀπέρχῃ.
20 Και λέγει προς αυτόν ο Ιησούς· Αι αλώπεκες έχουσι φωλεάς και τα πετεινά του ουρανού κατοικίας, ο δε Υιός του ανθρώπου δεν έχει που να κλίνη την κεφαλήν.
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.”
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 Άλλος δε εκ των μαθητών αυτού είπε προς αυτόν· Κύριε, συγχώρησόν μοι να υπάγω πρώτον και να θάψω τον πατέρα μου.
21 Another of his disciples said to him, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.”
21 Ἕτερος δὲ τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· Κύριε, ἐπίτρεψόν μοι πρῶτον ἀπελθεῖν καὶ θάψαι τὸν πατέρα μου.
22 Ο δε Ιησούς είπε προς αυτόν· Ακολούθει μοι και άφες τους νεκρούς να θάψωσι τους εαυτών νεκρούς.
22 But Jesus said to him, “Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead.”
22 ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῷ· ἀκολούθει μοι, καὶ ἄφες τοὺς νεκροὺς θάψαι τοὺς ἑαυτῶν νεκρούς.
23 Και ότε εισήλθεν εις το πλοίον, ηκολούθησαν αυτόν οι μαθηταί αυτού.
23 When he got into a boat, his disciples followed him.
23 Καὶ ἐμβάντι αὐτῷ εἰς [τὸ] πλοῖον ἠκολούθησαν αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ.
24 Και ιδού, τρικυμία μεγάλη έγεινεν εν τη θαλάσση, ώστε το πλοίον εσκεπάζετο υπό των κυμάτων· αυτός δε εκοιμάτο.
24 Behold, a violent storm came up on the sea, so much that the boat was covered with the waves; but he was asleep.
24 καὶ ἰδοὺ σεισμὸς μέγας ἐγένετο ἐν τῇ θαλάσσῃ, ὥστε τὸ πλοῖον καλύπτεσθαι ὑπὸ τῶν κυμάτων· αὐτὸς δὲ ἐκάθευδε.
25 Και προσελθόντες οι μαθηταί αυτού εξύπνισαν αυτόν, λέγοντες· Κύριε, σώσον ημάς, χανόμεθα.
25 The disciples came to him and woke him up, saying, “Save us, Lord! We are dying!”
25 καὶ προσελθόντες οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ ἤγειραν αὐτὸν λέγοντες· Κύριε, σῶσον ἡμᾶς, ἀπολλύμεθα.
26 Και λέγει προς αυτούς· Διά τι είσθε δειλοί, ολιγόπιστοι; Τότε σηκωθείς επετίμησε τους ανέμους και την θάλασσαν, και έγεινε γαλήνη μεγάλη.
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.
26 καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς· τί δειλοί ἐστε, ὀλιγόπιστοι; τότε ἐγερθεὶς ἐπετίμησε τοῖς ἀνέμοις καὶ τῇ θαλάσσῃ, καὶ ἐγένετο γαλήνη μεγάλη.
27 Οι δε άνθρωποι εθαύμασαν, λέγοντες· Οποίος είναι ούτος, ότι και οι άνεμοι και η θάλασσα υπακούουσιν εις αυτόν;
27 The men marveled, saying, “What kind of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”
27 οἱ δὲ ἄνθρωποι ἐθαύμασαν λέγοντες· ποταπός ἐστιν οὗτος, ὅτι καὶ οἱ ἄνεμοι καὶ ἡ θάλασσα ὑπακούουσιν αὐτῷ;
28 Και ότε ήλθεν εις το πέραν εις την χώραν των Γεργεσηνών, υπήντησαν αυτόν δύο δαιμονιζόμενοι εξερχόμενοι εκ των μνημείων, άγριοι καθ' υπερβολήν, ώστε ουδείς ηδύνατο να περάση διά της οδού εκείνης.
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.
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 Και ιδού, έκραξαν λέγοντες· Τι είναι μεταξύ ημών και σου, Ιησού, Υιέ του Θεού; ήλθες εδώ προ καιρού να μας βασανίσης;
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?”
29 καὶ ἰδοὺ ἔκραξαν λέγοντες· τί ἡμῖν καὶ σοί, Ἰησοῦ υἱὲ τοῦ Θεοῦ; ἦλθες ὧδε πρὸ καιροῦ βασανίσαι ἡμᾶς;
30 Ήτο δε μακράν απ' αυτών αγέλη χοίρων πολλών βοσκομένη.
30 Now there was a herd of many pigs feeding far away from them.
30 ἦν δὲ μακρὰν ἀπ᾽ αὐτῶν ἀγέλη χοίρων πολλῶν βοσκομένη.
31 Και οι δαίμονες παρεκάλουν αυτόν, λέγοντες· Εάν μας εκβάλης, επίτρεψον εις ημάς να απέλθωμεν εις την αγέλην των χοίρων.
31 The demons begged him, saying, “If you cast us out, permit us to go away into the herd of pigs.”
31 οἱ δὲ δαίμονες παρεκάλουν αὐτὸν λέγοντες· εἰ ἐκβάλλεις ἡμᾶς, ἐπίτρεψον ἡμῖν ἀπελθεῖν εἰς τὴν ἀγέλην τῶν χοίρων.
32 Και είπε προς αυτούς· Υπάγετε. Και εκείνοι εξελθόντες υπήγαν εις την αγέλην των χοίρων· και ιδού, ώρμησε πάσα η αγέλη των χοίρων κατά του κρημνού εις την θάλασσαν και απέθανον εν τοις ύδασιν.
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.
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 Οι δε βόσκοντες έφυγον και ελθόντες εις την πόλιν, απήγγειλαν πάντα και τα των δαιμονιζομένων.
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.
33 οἱ δὲ βόσκοντες ἔφυγον, καὶ ἀπελθόντες εἰς τὴν πόλιν ἀπήγγειλαν πάντα καὶ τὰ τῶν δαιμονιζομένων.
34 Και ιδού, πάσα η πόλις εξήλθεν εις συνάντησιν του Ιησού, και ιδόντες αυτόν παρεκάλεσαν να μεταβή από των ορίων αυτών.
34 Behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus. When they saw him, they begged that he would depart from their borders.
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).
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 …

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.
