The Life of Jesus

For he was teaching them as one having power, and not as the scribes and Pharisees.

And when he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him:

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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:

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

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.

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

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

And when evening was come, they brought to him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word: and all that were sick he healed:

That it might be fulfilled, which was spoken by the prophet Isaias, saying: He took our infirmities, and bore our diseases.

And Jesus seeing great multitudes about him, gave orders to pass over the water.

And a certain scribe came and said to him: Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou shalt go.

And Jesus saith to him: The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.

And another of his disciples said to him: Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.

But Jesus said to him: Follow me, and let the dead bury their dead.

And when he entered into the boat, his disciples followed him:

And behold a great tempest arose in the sea, so that the boat was covered with waves, but he was asleep.
