St Matthew 8:1-15 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

1. AND when he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him:

2. And behold a leper came and adored him, saying: Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

3. And Jesus stretching forth his hand, touched him, saying: I will, be thou made clean. And forthwith his leprosy was cleansed.

4. And Jesus saith to him: See thou tell no man: but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift which Moses commanded for a testimony unto them.

5. And when he had entered into Capharnaum, there came to him a centurion, beseeching him,

6. And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, and is grieviously tormented.

7. And Jesus saith to him: I will come and heal him.

8. And the centurion making answer, said: Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldst enter under my roof: but only say the word, and my servant shall be healed.

9. For I also am a man subject to authority, having under me soldiers; and I say to this, Go, and he goeth, and to another, Come, and he cometh, and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.

10. And Jesus hearing this, marvelled; and said to them that followed him: Amen I say to you, I have not found so great faith in Israel.

11. And I say to you that many shall come from the east and the west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven:

12. But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into the exterior darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

13. And Jesus said to the centurion: Go, and as thou hast believed, so be it done to thee. And the servant was healed at the same hour.

14. And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother lying, and sick of a fever:

15. And he touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she arose and ministered to them.
