Κατα Ματθαιον 8
1 Καταβάντος δὲ αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ τοῦ ὄρους, ἠκολούθησαν αὐτῷ ὄχλοι πολλοί.
And when he had come down from the mountain, many multitudes followed him.
2 Καὶ ἰδοὺ, λεπρὸς προσελθὼν, προσεκύνει αὐτῷ λέγων, “˚Κύριε, ἐὰν θέλῃς, δύνασαί με καθαρίσαι.”
And behold, a leper came and did him homage, saying: Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
3 Καὶ ἐκτείνας τὴν χεῖρα, ἥψατο αὐτοῦ λέγων, “Θέλω, καθαρίσθητι.” Καὶ εὐθέως ἐκαθαρίσθη αὐτοῦ ἡ λέπρα.
And Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying: I will; be clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
4 Καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Ὅρα μηδενὶ εἴπῃς, ἀλλὰ ὕπαγε σεαυτὸν, δεῖξον τῷ ἱερεῖ, καὶ προσένεγκον τὸ δῶρον ὃ προσέταξεν Μωϋσῆς, εἰς μαρτύριον αὐτοῖς.”
And Jesus said to him: See that you tell no one. But go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.
5 Εἰσελθόντος δὲ αὐτοῦ εἰς Καφαρναοὺμ, προσῆλθεν αὐτῷ ἑκατόνταρχος παρακαλῶν αὐτὸν
And when he entered Capernaum, there came to him a centurion, beseeching him,
6 καὶ λέγων, ˚Κύριε, ὁ παῖς μου βέβληται ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ παραλυτικός, δεινῶς βασανιζόμενος.
and saying: Lord, my servant lies in my house, palsied, fearfully afflicted.
7 Καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ, “Ἐγὼ ἐλθὼν, θεραπεύσω αὐτόν.”
And Jesus said to him: I will go and cure him.
8 Ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ ἑκατόνταρχος ἔφη, “˚Κύριε, οὐκ εἰμὶ ἱκανὸς ἵνα μου ὑπὸ τὴν στέγην εἰσέλθῃς, ἀλλὰ μόνον εἰπὲ λόγῳ καὶ ἰαθήσεται ὁ παῖς μου.
And the centurion answering, said: Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldst come under my roof; but say in a word only, and my servant shall be restored to health.
9 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.”
For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me; and I say to this one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my servant, Do this, and he does it.
10 Ἀκούσας δὲ, ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς ἐθαύμασεν καὶ εἶπεν τοῖς ἀκολουθοῦσιν, “Ἀμὴν, λέγω ὑμῖν, παρʼ οὐδενὶ τοσαύτην πίστιν ἐν τῷ Ἰσραὴλ εὗρον.
And when Jesus heard it, he was filled with admiration, and said to those who followed him: Verily I say to you, not even in Israel have I found so great faith.
11 Λέγω δὲ ὑμῖν ὅτι πολλοὶ ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν καὶ δυσμῶν ἥξουσιν καὶ ἀνακλιθήσονται μετὰ Ἀβραὰμ, καὶ Ἰσαὰκ, καὶ Ἰακὼβ, ἐν τῇ Βασιλείᾳ τῶν Οὐρανῶν·
I also say to you, That many shall come from the east and the west, and shall recline with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven;
12 οἱ δὲ υἱοὶ τῆς βασιλείας ἐκβληθήσονται εἰς τὸ σκότος τὸ ἐξώτερον, ἐκεῖ ἔσται ὁ κλαυθμὸς καὶ ὁ βρυγμὸς τῶν ὀδόντων.”
but the sons of the kingdom shall be cast into the darkness that is without. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
13 Καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς τῷ ἑκατοντάρχῃ, “Ὕπαγε, ὡς ἐπίστευσας, γενηθήτω σοι.” Καὶ ἰάθη ὁ παῖς ἐν τῇ ὥρᾳ ἐκείνῃ.
And Jesus said to the centurion: Go, and as you have believed, so be it to you. And his servant was restored to health in that hour.
14 Καὶ ἐλθὼν ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν Πέτρου, εἶδεν τὴν πενθερὰν αὐτοῦ βεβλημένην καὶ πυρέσσουσαν,
And when Jesus had come into Peter’s house, he saw his mother-in-law lying, and ill of a fever.
15 καὶ ἥψατο τῆς χειρὸς αὐτῆς, καὶ ἀφῆκεν αὐτὴν ὁ πυρετός, καὶ ἠγέρθη, καὶ διηκόνει αὐτῷ.
And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose and ministered to him.
16 Ὀψίας δὲ γενομένης, προσήνεγκαν αὐτῷ δαιμονιζομένους πολλούς, καὶ ἐξέβαλεν τὰ πνεύματα λόγῳ, καὶ πάντας τοὺς κακῶς ἔχοντας, ἐθεράπευσεν·
When the evening had come, they brought to him many that were possessed with demons: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and cured all that were sick;
17 ὅπως πληρωθῇ τὸ ῥηθὲν διὰ Ἠσαΐου τοῦ προφήτου λέγοντος, “Αὐτὸς τὰς ἀσθενείας ἡμῶν ἔλαβεν καὶ τὰς νόσους ἐβάστασεν.”
that the word might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying: He himself took our infirmities, and bore our diseases.
18 Ἰδὼν δὲ ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς ὄχλον περὶ αὐτὸν, ἐκέλευσεν ἀπελθεῖν εἰς τὸ πέραν.
But when Jesus saw many multitudes about him, he gave orders to depart to the other side.
19 Καὶ προσελθὼν, εἷς γραμματεὺς εἶπεν αὐτῷ, “Διδάσκαλε, ἀκολουθήσω σοι ὅπου ἐὰν ἀπέρχῃ.”
And a certain scribe came and said to him: Teacher, I will follow thee wherever thou goest.
20 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.”
And Jesus said to him: The foxes have dens, and the birds of the air have roosts; but the Son of man has not where to lay his head.
21 Ἕτερος δὲ τῶν μαθητῶν εἶπεν αὐτῷ, “˚Κύριε, ἐπίτρεψόν μοι πρῶτον ἀπελθεῖν καὶ θάψαι τὸν πατέρα μου.”
And another of his disciples said to him: Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father.
22 Ὁ δὲ ˚Ἰησοῦς λέγει αὐτῷ, “Ἀκολούθει μοι καὶ ἄφες τοὺς νεκροὺς θάψαι τοὺς ἑαυτῶν νεκρούς.”
But Jesus said to him: Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead.
23 Καὶ ἐμβάντι αὐτῷ εἰς πλοῖον, ἠκολούθησαν αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ.
And when he had entered the ship, his disciples followed him.
24 Καὶ ἰδοὺ, σεισμὸς μέγας ἐγένετο ἐν τῇ θαλάσσῃ, ὥστε τὸ πλοῖον καλύπτεσθαι ὑπὸ τῶν κυμάτων, αὐτὸς δὲ ἐκάθευδεν.
And behold, there was a great tempest in the sea, so that the ship was covered by the waves: but he was asleep.
25 Καὶ προσελθόντες, ἤγειραν αὐτὸν λέγοντες, “˚Κύριε, σῶσον, ἀπολλύμεθα!”
And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying: Lord, save us; we perish.
26 Καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς, “Τί δειλοί ἐστε, ὀλιγόπιστοι;” Τότε ἐγερθεὶς, ἐπετίμησεν τοῖς ἀνέμοις καὶ τῇ θαλάσσῃ, καὶ ἐγένετο γαλήνη μεγάλη.
And he said to them: Why are you fearful, O you of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea: and there was a great calm.
27 Οἱ δὲ ἄνθρωποι ἐθαύμασαν λέγοντες, “Ποταπός ἐστιν οὗτος, ὅτι καὶ οἱ ἄνεμοι καὶ ἡ θάλασσα αὐτῷ ὑπακούουσιν;”
But the men were astonished, and said: What man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!
28 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.
And when he had come to the opposite side, into the country of the Gadarenes, there met him two men, coming out of the tombs, possessed with demons, very fierce, so that no one could pass that way.
29 Καὶ ἰδοὺ, ἔκραξαν λέγοντες, “Τί ἡμῖν καὶ σοί, Υἱὲ τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ; Ἦλθες ὧδε πρὸ καιροῦ βασανίσαι ἡμᾶς;”
And behold, they cried out, saying: What have we to do with thee, Jesus, Son of God? Hast thou come hither to torment us before the time?
30 Ἦν δὲ μακρὰν ἀπʼ αὐτῶν ἀγέλη χοίρων πολλῶν βοσκομένη.
Now there was, at a distance from them, a herd of many swine, feeding.
31 Οἱ δὲ δαίμονες παρεκάλουν αὐτὸν λέγοντες, “Εἰ ἐκβάλλεις ἡμᾶς, ἀπόστειλον ἡμᾶς εἰς τὴν ἀγέλην τῶν χοίρων.”
And the demons besought him, saying: If thou cast us out, permit us to go away into the herd of swine.
32 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.
And he said to them: Go. And when they had come out, they went away into the herd of swine. And behold, the whole herd of swine rushed down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.
33 Οἱ δὲ βόσκοντες ἔφυγον, καὶ ἀπελθόντες εἰς τὴν πόλιν, ἀπήγγειλαν πάντα καὶ τὰ τῶν δαιμονιζομένων.
And those who fed them fled, and went into the city, and told every thing, and what had happened to those who had been possessed with the demons.
34 Καὶ ἰδοὺ, πᾶσα ἡ πόλις ἐξῆλθεν εἰς ὑπάντησιν τῷ ˚Ἰησοῦ, καὶ ἰδόντες αὐτὸν, παρεκάλεσαν ὅπως μεταβῇ ἀπὸ τῶν ὁρίων αὐτῶν.
And, behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus. And when they saw him, they besought him to depart out of their borders.
