Matthew 8
1 When Jesus had come down from the hill, great crowds followed him.
Καταβάντος δὲ αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ τοῦ ὄρους, ἠκολούθησαν αὐτῷ ὄχλοι πολλοί.
2 He saw a leper who came up, and bowed to the ground before him, and said, “Master, if only you are willing, you are able to make me clean.”
Καὶ ἰδοὺ, λεπρὸς προσελθὼν, προσεκύνει αὐτῷ λέγων, “˚Κύριε, ἐὰν θέλῃς, δύνασαί με καθαρίσαι.”
3 Stretching out his hand, Jesus touched him, saying as he did so, “I am willing; become clean.” Instantly he was made clean from his leprosy;
Καὶ ἐκτείνας τὴν χεῖρα, ἥψατο αὐτοῦ λέγων, “Θέλω, καθαρίσθητι.” Καὶ εὐθέως ἐκαθαρίσθη αὐτοῦ ἡ λέπρα.
4 and then Jesus said to him, “Be careful not to say a word to anyone, but go and show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift directed by Moses, as evidence of your cure.”
Καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Ὅρα μηδενὶ εἴπῃς, ἀλλὰ ὕπαγε σεαυτὸν, δεῖξον τῷ ἱερεῖ, καὶ προσένεγκον τὸ δῶρον ὃ προσέταξεν Μωϋσῆς, εἰς μαρτύριον αὐτοῖς.”
5 After Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion in the Roman army came up to him, entreating his help.
Εἰσελθόντος δὲ αὐτοῦ εἰς Καφαρναοὺμ, προσῆλθεν αὐτῷ ἑκατόνταρχος παρακαλῶν αὐτὸν
6 “Sir,” he said, “my manservant is lying ill at my house with a stroke of paralysis, and is suffering terribly.”
καὶ λέγων, ˚Κύριε, ὁ παῖς μου βέβληται ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ παραλυτικός, δεινῶς βασανιζόμενος.
7 “I will come and cure him,” answered Jesus.
Καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ, “Ἐγὼ ἐλθὼν, θεραπεύσω αὐτόν.”
8 “Sir,” the centurion went on, “I am unworthy to receive you under my roof; but only speak, and my manservant will be cured.
Ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ ἑκατόνταρχος ἔφη, “˚Κύριε, οὐκ εἰμὶ ἱκανὸς ἵνα μου ὑπὸ τὴν στέγην εἰσέλθῃς, ἀλλὰ μόνον εἰπὲ λόγῳ καὶ ἰαθήσεται ὁ παῖς μου.
9 For I myself am a man under the orders of others, with soldiers under me; and, if I say to one of them ‘Go,’ he goes, and to another ‘Come,’ he comes, and to my slave ‘Do this,’ he does it.”
Καὶ γὰρ ἐγὼ ἄνθρωπός εἰμι ὑπὸ ἐξουσίαν τασσόμενος, ἔχων ὑπʼ ἐμαυτὸν στρατιώτας, καὶ λέγω τούτῳ, ‘Πορεύθητι’, καὶ πορεύεται, καὶ ἄλλῳ, ‘Ἔρχου’, καὶ ἔρχεται, καὶ τῷ δούλῳ μου, ‘Ποίησον τοῦτο’, καὶ ποιεῖ.”
10 Jesus was surprised to hear this, and said to those who were following him, “Never I tell you, in any Israelite have I met with such faith as this!
Ἀκούσας δὲ, ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς ἐθαύμασεν καὶ εἶπεν τοῖς ἀκολουθοῦσιν, “Ἀμὴν, λέγω ὑμῖν, παρʼ οὐδενὶ τοσαύτην πίστιν ἐν τῷ Ἰσραὴλ εὗρον.
11 Yes, and many will come in from East and West and take their places beside Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven;
Λέγω δὲ ὑμῖν ὅτι πολλοὶ ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν καὶ δυσμῶν ἥξουσιν καὶ ἀνακλιθήσονται μετὰ Ἀβραὰμ, καὶ Ἰσαὰκ, καὶ Ἰακὼβ, ἐν τῇ Βασιλείᾳ τῶν Οὐρανῶν·
12 while the heirs to the kingdom will be banished into the darkness outside; there, there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.”
οἱ δὲ υἱοὶ τῆς βασιλείας ἐκβληθήσονται εἰς τὸ σκότος τὸ ἐξώτερον, ἐκεῖ ἔσται ὁ κλαυθμὸς καὶ ὁ βρυγμὸς τῶν ὀδόντων.”
13 Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go now, and it will be according to your faith.” And the man was cured that very hour.
Καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς τῷ ἑκατοντάρχῃ, “Ὕπαγε, ὡς ἐπίστευσας, γενηθήτω σοι.” Καὶ ἰάθη ὁ παῖς ἐν τῇ ὥρᾳ ἐκείνῃ.
14 When Jesus went into Peter’s house, he saw Peter’s mother-in-law prostrated with fever.
Καὶ ἐλθὼν ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν Πέτρου, εἶδεν τὴν πενθερὰν αὐτοῦ βεβλημένην καὶ πυρέσσουσαν,
15 On his taking her hand, the fever left her, and she rose and began to take care of him.
καὶ ἥψατο τῆς χειρὸς αὐτῆς, καὶ ἀφῆκεν αὐτὴν ὁ πυρετός, καὶ ἠγέρθη, καὶ διηκόνει αὐτῷ.
16 In the evening the people brought to Jesus many who were possessed by demons; and he drove out the spirits with a word, and cured all who were ill,
Ὀψίας δὲ γενομένης, προσήνεγκαν αὐτῷ δαιμονιζομένους πολλούς, καὶ ἐξέβαλεν τὰ πνεύματα λόγῳ, καὶ πάντας τοὺς κακῶς ἔχοντας, ἐθεράπευσεν·
17 in fulfillment of these words in the prophet Isaiah – ‘He took our infirmities on himself, and bore the burden of our diseases.’
ὅπως πληρωθῇ τὸ ῥηθὲν διὰ Ἠσαΐου τοῦ προφήτου λέγοντος, “Αὐτὸς τὰς ἀσθενείας ἡμῶν ἔλαβεν καὶ τὰς νόσους ἐβάστασεν.”
18 Seeing a crowd around him, Jesus gave orders to go across.
Ἰδὼν δὲ ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς ὄχλον περὶ αὐτὸν, ἐκέλευσεν ἀπελθεῖν εἰς τὸ πέραν.
19 A teacher of the Law came up to him, and said, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.”
Καὶ προσελθὼν, εἷς γραμματεὺς εἶπεν αὐτῷ, “Διδάσκαλε, ἀκολουθήσω σοι ὅπου ἐὰν ἀπέρχῃ.”
20 “Foxes have holes,” answered Jesus, “and wild birds their nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.”
Καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Αἱ ἀλώπεκες φωλεοὺς ἔχουσιν καὶ τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ κατασκηνώσεις, ὁ δὲ Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου οὐκ ἔχει ποῦ τὴν κεφαλὴν κλίνῃ.”
21 “Master,” said another, who was a disciple, “let me first go and bury my father.”
Ἕτερος δὲ τῶν μαθητῶν εἶπεν αὐτῷ, “˚Κύριε, ἐπίτρεψόν μοι πρῶτον ἀπελθεῖν καὶ θάψαι τὸν πατέρα μου.”
22 But Jesus answered, “Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their dead.”
Ὁ δὲ ˚Ἰησοῦς λέγει αὐτῷ, “Ἀκολούθει μοι καὶ ἄφες τοὺς νεκροὺς θάψαι τοὺς ἑαυτῶν νεκρούς.”
23 Then he got into the boat, followed by his disciples.
Καὶ ἐμβάντι αὐτῷ εἰς πλοῖον, ἠκολούθησαν αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ.
24 Suddenly so great a storm came up on the sea, that the waves broke right over the boat. But Jesus was asleep;
Καὶ ἰδοὺ, σεισμὸς μέγας ἐγένετο ἐν τῇ θαλάσσῃ, ὥστε τὸ πλοῖον καλύπτεσθαι ὑπὸ τῶν κυμάτων, αὐτὸς δὲ ἐκάθευδεν.
25 and the disciples came and roused him. “Master,” they cried, “save us; we are lost!”
Καὶ προσελθόντες, ἤγειραν αὐτὸν λέγοντες, “˚Κύριε, σῶσον, ἀπολλύμεθα!”
26 “Why are you so timid?” he said. “You of little faith!” Then Jesus rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and a great calm followed.
Καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς, “Τί δειλοί ἐστε, ὀλιγόπιστοι;” Τότε ἐγερθεὶς, ἐπετίμησεν τοῖς ἀνέμοις καὶ τῇ θαλάσσῃ, καὶ ἐγένετο γαλήνη μεγάλη.
27 The men were amazed, and exclaimed, “What kind of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!”
Οἱ δὲ ἄνθρωποι ἐθαύμασαν λέγοντες, “Ποταπός ἐστιν οὗτος, ὅτι καὶ οἱ ἄνεμοι καὶ ἡ θάλασσα αὐτῷ ὑπακούουσιν;”
28 On getting to the other side – the region of the Gadarenes – Jesus met two men who were possessed by demons, coming out of the tombs. They were so violent that no one was able to pass that way.
Καὶ ἐλθόντος αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸ πέραν εἰς τὴν χώραν τῶν Γαδαρηνῶν, ὑπήντησαν αὐτῷ δύο δαιμονιζόμενοι ἐκ τῶν μνημείων ἐξερχόμενοι, χαλεποὶ λίαν ὥστε μὴ ἰσχύειν τινὰ παρελθεῖν διὰ τῆς ὁδοῦ ἐκείνης.
29 Suddenly they shrieked out, “What do you want with us, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before our time?”
Καὶ ἰδοὺ, ἔκραξαν λέγοντες, “Τί ἡμῖν καὶ σοί, Υἱὲ τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ; Ἦλθες ὧδε πρὸ καιροῦ βασανίσαι ἡμᾶς;”
30 A long way off, there was a herd of many pigs, feeding;
Ἦν δὲ μακρὰν ἀπʼ αὐτῶν ἀγέλη χοίρων πολλῶν βοσκομένη.
31 and the foul spirits began begging Jesus, “If you drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs.”
Οἱ δὲ δαίμονες παρεκάλουν αὐτὸν λέγοντες, “Εἰ ἐκβάλλεις ἡμᾶς, ἀπόστειλον ἡμᾶς εἰς τὴν ἀγέλην τῶν χοίρων.”
32 “Go,” he said. The spirits came out, and entered the pigs; and the whole herd rushed down the steep slope into the sea, and died in the water.
Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, “Ὑπάγετε.” Οἱ δὲ ἐξελθόντες ἀπῆλθον εἰς τοὺς χοίρους· καὶ ἰδοὺ, ὥρμησεν πᾶσα ἡ ἀγέλη κατὰ τοῦ κρημνοῦ εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν, καὶ ἀπέθανον ἐν τοῖς ὕδασιν.
33 At this the men who tended them ran away and went to the town, carrying the news of all that had occurred, and of what had happened to the possessed men.
Οἱ δὲ βόσκοντες ἔφυγον, καὶ ἀπελθόντες εἰς τὴν πόλιν, ἀπήγγειλαν πάντα καὶ τὰ τῶν δαιμονιζομένων.
34 At the news the whole town went out to meet Jesus, and, when they saw him, they entreated him to go away from their region.
Καὶ ἰδοὺ, πᾶσα ἡ πόλις ἐξῆλθεν εἰς ὑπάντησιν τῷ ˚Ἰησοῦ, καὶ ἰδόντες αὐτὸν, παρεκάλεσαν ὅπως μεταβῇ ἀπὸ τῶν ὁρίων αὐτῶν.
