1. When he came down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.
2. Behold, a leper came to him and worshiped him, saying, “Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean.”
3. Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I want to. Be made clean.”Immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
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 he came into Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking him for help,
6. saying, “Lord, my servant lies in the house paralyzed, grievously tormented.”
7. Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.”
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 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 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 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. but the children of the Kingdom will be thrown out into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
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. When Jesus came into Peter’s house, he saw his wife’s mother lying sick with a fever.
15. He touched her hand, and the fever left her. So she got up and served him.
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. that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying, “He took our infirmities and bore our diseases.”
18. Now when Jesus saw great multitudes around him, he gave the order to depart to the other side.
19. A scribe came and said to him, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.”
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. Another of his disciples said to him, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.”
22. But Jesus said to him, “Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead.”
23. When he got into a boat, his disciples followed him.
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. The disciples came to him and woke him up, saying, “Save us, Lord! We are dying!”
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. The men marveled, saying, “What kind of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”
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. 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. Now there was a herd of many pigs feeding far away from them.
31. The demons begged him, saying, “If you cast us out, permit us to go away into the herd of pigs.”
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. 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. Behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus. When they saw him, they begged that he would depart from their borders.

1. Jésus étant descendu de la montagne, une grande multitude le suivit.
2. Et un lépreux s’étant approché, se prosterna devant lui, en disant : « Seigneur, si vous voulez, vous pouvez me guérir. »
3. Jésus étendit la main, le toucha et dit : « Je le veux, sois guéri. » Et à l’instant sa lèpre fut guérie.
4. Alors Jésus lui dit : « Garde-toi d’en parler à personne ; mais va te montrer au prêtre, et offre le don prescrit par Moïse pour attester au peuple ta guérison. »
5. Comme Jésus entrait dans Capharnaüm, un centurion l’aborda
6. et lui fit cette prière : « Seigneur, mon serviteur est couché dans ma maison, frappé de paralysie, et il souffre cruellement. »
7. Jésus lui dit : « J’irai et je le guérirai. - 8. Seigneur, répondit le centurion, je ne suis pas digne que tu entres sous mon toit ; mais dis seulement une parole, et mon serviteur sera guéri.
9. Car moi qui suis soumis à des supérieurs, j’ai des soldats sous mes ordres, et je dis à l’un : Va, et il va ; et à un autre : Viens, et il vient ; et à mon serviteur : Fais cela, et il le fait. »
10. En entendant ces paroles, Jésus fut dans l’admiration, et dit à ceux qui le suivaient : « Je vous le dis en vérité, dans Israël même, je n’ai pas trouvé une si grande foi.
11. C’est pourquoi je vous dis que beaucoup viendront de l’Orient et de l’Occident, et auront place au festin avec Abraham, Isaac et Jacob, dans le royaume des cieux,
12. tandis que les fils du royaume seront jetés dans les ténèbres extérieures : c’est là qu’il y aura des pleurs et des grincements de dents. »
13. Alors Jésus dit au centurion : « Va, et qu’il te soit fait selon ta foi ; » et à l’heure même son serviteur fut guéri.
14. Et Jésus étant venu dans la maison de Pierre, y trouva sa belle-mère qui était au lit, tourmentée par la fièvre.
15. Il lui toucha la main, et la fièvre la quitta ; aussitôt elle se leva, et se mit à les servir.
16. Sur le soir, on lui présenta plusieurs démoniaques, et d’un mot il chassa les esprits et guérit tous les malades :
17. accomplissant ainsi cette parole du prophète Isaïe : « Il a pris nos infirmités, et s’est chargé de nos maladies. »
18. Jésus, voyant une grande multitude autour de lui, donna l’ordre de passer à l’autre bord du lac.
19. Alors un Scribe s’approcha et lui dit : « Maître, je vous suivrai partout où vous irez. »
20. Jésus lui répondit : « Les renards ont leurs tanières, et les oiseaux du ciel leurs nids ; mais le Fils de l’homme n’a pas où reposer sa tête. »
21. Un autre, du nombre des disciples, lui dit : « Seigneur, permettez-moi d’aller auparavant ensevelir mon père. »
22. Mais Jésus lui répondit : « Suis-moi, et laisse les morts ensevelir leurs morts. »
23. Il entra alors dans la barque, suivi de ses disciples.
24. Et voilà qu’une grande agitation se fit dans la mer, de sorte que les flots couvraient la barque : lui, cependant, dormait.
25. Ses disciples venant à lui l’éveillèrent et lui dirent : « Seigneur, sauvez-nous, nous périssons ! »
26. Jésus leur dit : « Pourquoi craignez-vous, hommes de peu de foi ? » Alors il se leva, commanda aux vents et à la mer, et il se fit un grand calme.
27. Et saisis d’admiration, tous disaient : « Quel est celui-ci, que les vents même et la mer lui obéissent ? »
28. Jésus ayant abordé de l’autre côté du lac, dans le pays des Géraséniens , deux démoniaques sortirent des sépulcres et s’avancèrent vers lui ; ils étaient si furieux, que personne n’osait passer par ce chemin.
29. Et ils se mirent à crier : « Qu’avons-nous à faire avec toi, Jésus, Fils de Dieu ? Es-tu venu ici pour nous tourmenter avant le temps ? »
30. Or il y avait, à quelque distance, un nombreux troupeau de porcs qui paissaient.
31. Et les démons firent à Jésus cette prière : « Si tu nous chasses d’ici, envoie-nous dans ce troupeau de porcs. »
32. Il leur dit : « Allez. » Ils sortirent du corps des possédés,et entrèrent dans les pourceaux. Au même instant, tout le troupeau prenant sa course se précipita par les pentes escarpées dans la mer, et ils périrent dans les eaux.
33. Les gardiens s’enfuirent, et ils vinrent dans la ville, où ils racontèrent toutes ces choses et ce qui était arrivé aux démoniaques.
34. Aussitôt toute la ville sortit au-devant de Jésus, et dès qu’ils le virent, ils le supplièrent de quitter leur territoire.

Biblia Vulgata Clementina (1598), Migne witness (1880)

1. Cum autem descendisset de monte, secutæ sunt eum turbæ multæ:
2. et ecce leprosus veniens, adorabat eum, dicens: Domine, si vis, potes me mundare.
3. Et extendens Jesus manum, tetigit eum, dicens: Volo: mundare. Et confestim mundata est lepra ejus.
4. Et ait illi Jesus: Vide, nemini dixeris: sed vade, ostende te sacerdoti, et offer munus, quod præcepit Moyses, in testimonium illis.
5. Cum autem introisset Capharnaum, accessit ad eum centurio, rogans eum,
6. et dicens: Domine, puer meus jacet in domo paralyticus, et male torquetur.
7. Et ait illi Jesus: Ego veniam, et curabo eum.
8. Et respondens centurio, ait: Domine, non sum dignus ut intres sub tectum meum: sed tantum dic verbo, et sanabitur puer meus.
9. Nam et ego homo sum sub potestate constitutus, habens sub me milites, et dico huic: Vade, et vadit: et alii: Veni, et venit: et servo meo: Fac hoc, et facit.
10. Audiens autem Jesus miratus est, et sequentibus se dixit: Amen dico vobis, non inveni tantam fidem in Israël.
11. Dico autem vobis, quod multi ab oriente et occidente venient, et recumbent cum Abraham, et Isaac, et Jacob in regno cælorum:
12. filii autem regni ejicientur in tenebras exteriores: ibi erit fletus et stridor dentium.
13. Et dixit Jesus centurioni: Vade, et sicut credidisti, fiat tibi. Et sanatus est puer in illa hora.
14. Et cum venisset Jesus in domum Petri, vidit socrum ejus jacentem, et febricitantem:
15. et tetigit manum ejus, et dimisit eam febris, et surrexit, et ministrabat eis.
16. Vespere autem facto, obtulerunt ei multos dæmonia habentes: et ejiciebat spiritus verbo, et omnes male habentes curavit:
17. ut adimpleretur quod dictum est per Isaiam prophetam, dicentem: [Ipse infirmitates nostras accepit: et ægrotationes nostras portavit.]
18. Videns autem Jesus turbas multas circum se, jussit ire trans fretum.
19. Et accedens unus scriba, ait illi: Magister, sequar te, quocumque ieris.
20. Et dicit ei Jesus: Vulpes foveas habent, et volucres cæli nidos; Filius autem hominis non habet ubi caput reclinet.
21. Alius autem de discipulis ejus ait illi: Domine, permitte me primum ire, et sepelire patrem meum.
22. Jesus autem ait illi: Sequere me, et dimitte mortuos sepelire mortuos suos.
23. Et ascendente eo in naviculam, secuti sunt eum discipuli ejus:
24. et ecce motus magnus factus est in mari, ita ut navicula operiretur fluctibus: ipse vero dormiebat.
25. Et accesserunt ad eum discipuli ejus, et suscitaverunt eum, dicentes: Domine, salva nos: perimus.
26. Et dicit eis Jesus: Quid timidi estis, modicæ fidei? Tunc surgens imperavit ventis, et mari, et facta est tranquillitas magna.
27. Porro homines mirati sunt, dicentes: Qualis est hic, quia venti et mare obediunt ei?
28. Et cum venisset trans fretum in regionem Gerasenorum, occurrerunt ei duo habentes dæmonia, de monumentis exeuntes, sævi nimis, ita ut nemo posset transire per viam illam.
29. Et ecce clamaverunt, dicentes: Quid nobis et tibi, Jesu fili Dei? Venisti huc ante tempus torquere nos?
30. Erat autem non longe ab illis grex multorum porcorum pascens.
31. Dæmones autem rogabant eum, dicentes: Si ejicis nos hinc, mitte nos in gregem porcorum.
32. Et ait illis: Ite. At illi exeuntes abierunt in porcos, et ecce impetu abiit totus grex per præceps in mare: et mortui sunt in aquis.
33. Pastores autem fugerunt: et venientes in civitatem, nuntiaverunt omnia, et de eis qui dæmonia habuerant.
34. Et ecce tota civitas exiit obviam Jesu: et viso eo, rogabant ut transiret a finibus eorum.
