WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Grandes multitudes siguieron a Jesús cuando bajó de la montaña.
1 When he came down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.
2 Un leproso se acercó a él, y se arrodilló, adorándolo, y le dijo: “Señor, si quieres, por favor sáname”.
2 Behold, a leper came to him and worshiped him, saying, “Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean.”
3 Jesús se extendió hacia él y lo tocó con su mano. “Quiero”, le dijo. “Queda sano”. Inmediatamente este hombre fue sanado de su lepra.
3 Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I want to. Be made clean.” Immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
4 “Asegúrate de no contárselo a nadie”, le dijo Jesús. “Ve y preséntate ante el sacerdote y da la ofrenda que Moisés ordenó, como evidencia pública”.
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 Cuando Jesús entró a Capernaúm, un centurión se le acercó, suplicándole su ayuda,
5 When he came into Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking him for help,
6 “Señor, mi siervo está en casa, acostado y sin poder moverse. Está sufriendo una terrible agonía”.
6 saying, “Lord, my servant lies in the house paralyzed, grievously tormented.”
7 “Iré y lo sanaré”, respondió Jesús.
7 Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.”
8 El centurión respondió: “Señor, no merezco una visita a mi casa. Solo di la palabra y mi siervo quedará sano.
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 Porque yo mismo estoy bajo la autoridad de mis superiores, y a la vez yo también tengo soldados bajo mi mando. Yo le ordeno a uno: ‘¡Ve!’ y él va. Mando a otro: ‘¡Ven!’ y él viene. Digo a mi siervo: ‘¡Haz esto!’ y él lo hace”.
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 Cuando Jesús escuchó lo que este hombre dijo, se quedó asombrado. Entonces le dijo a los que le seguían: “En verdad les digo que no he encontrado este tipo de confianza en ninguna parte de 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 Les digo que muchos vendrán del este y del oeste, y se sentarán con Abraham e Isaac en el reino de los cielos.
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 Pero los herederos del reino serán lanzados a la oscuridad absoluta, donde habrá lamento y crujir de dientes”.
12 but the children of the Kingdom will be thrown out into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
13 Entonces Jesús le dijo al centurión, “Ve a casa. Lo que pediste ya fue hecho, como creíste que pasaría”. Y el siervo fue sanado inmediatamente.
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 Cuando Jesús llegó a la casa de Pedro, vio que la suegra de Pedro estaba enferma en cama y tenía una fiebre muy alta.
14 When Jesus came into Peter’s house, he saw his wife’s mother lying sick with a fever.
15 Entonces Jesús tocó su mano y se le quitó la fiebre. Ella se levantó y comenzó a prepararle comida a Jesús.
15 He touched her hand, and the fever left her. So she got up and served him.
16 Cuando llegó la noche, trajeron ante Jesús a un hombre endemoniado. Con solo una orden, Jesús hizo que los espíritus salieran de él, y sanó a todos los que estaban enfermos.
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 Esto cumplió lo que el profeta Isaías dijo: “Él sanó nuestras enfermedades y nos libertó de nuestras dolencias”.
17 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying, “He took our infirmities and bore our diseases.”
18 Cuando Jesús vio las multitudes que lo rodeaban, dio instrucciones de que debían ir al otro lado del lago.
18 Now when Jesus saw great multitudes around him, he gave the order to depart to the other side.
19 Entonces uno de los maestros religiosos se acercó a él y le dijo: “Maestro, te seguiré adonde vayas”.
19 A scribe came and said to him, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.”
20 “Los zorros tienen guaridas y las aves silvestres tienen nidos, pero el Hijo del hombre no tiene dónde recostarse y descansar”, le dijo Jesús.
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 Otro discípulo le dijo a Jesús: “Señor, primero déjame ir y sepultar a mi padre”.
21 Another of his disciples said to him, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.”
22 “Sígueme. Deja que los muertos sepulten a sus propios muertos”, le respondió Jesús.
22 But Jesus said to him, “Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead.”
23 Entonces Jesús subió a una barca y sus discípulos se fueron con él.
23 When he got into a boat, his disciples followed him.
24 De repente, sopló una fuerte tormenta, y las olas golpeaban fuertemente contra la barca, pero Jesús seguía durmiendo.
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 Los discípulos se acercaron a él y lo despertaron gritándole: “¡Sálvanos, Señor! ¡Vamos a hundirnos!”
25 The disciples came to him and woke him up, saying, “Save us, Lord! We are dying!”
26 “¿Por qué tienen tanto miedo? ¿Por qué tienen tan poca confianza?” les preguntó Jesús. Entonces se levantó y ordenó a los vientos y las olas que se detuvieran. Y todo quedó completamente en calma.
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 Los discípulos estaban asombrados y decían: “¿Quién es este? ¿Incluso los vientos y las olas le obedecen?”
27 The men marveled, saying, “What kind of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”
28 Cuando llegaron al otro lado, a la región de los gadarenos, dos hombres endemoniados salieron del cementerio para encontrarse con Jesús. Estos hombres eran tan peligrosos que nadie se atrevía a pasar por ese camino.
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 Y ellos gritaban: “¿Qué tienes que ver con nosotros, Hijo de Dios? ¿Has venido a torturarnos antes de tiempo?”
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 A lo lejos, había un gran hato de cerdos comiendo.
30 Now there was a herd of many pigs feeding far away from them.
31 Los demonios le suplicaron a Jesús: “Si vas a sacarnos de aquí, envíanos a ese hato de cerdos”.
31 The demons begged him, saying, “If you cast us out, permit us to go away into the herd of pigs.”
32 “¡Vayan!” les dijo Jesús. Los demonios salieron de los dos hombres y huyeron hacia el hato de cerdos. Todo el hato de cerdos corrió, descendiendo por una pendiente, hasta que cayeron al mar y se ahogaron.
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 Los que cuidaban el rebaño de cerdos, salieron corriendo. Entonces se fueron hacia la ciudad y le contaron a la gente que estaba allí todo lo que había sucedido y lo que había ocurrido con los dos hombres endemoniados.
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 Y toda la ciudad salió para encontrarse con Jesús. Cuando lo encontraron, le suplicaron que abandonara su ciudad.
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.

    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 …
