THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO
ST. MATTHEW
CHAPTER s

. And, behold, there came leper
and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if
thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
3 And Jesus put forth his hand, and
touched him saying, / viii; be thou
clean. And Immediately his leprosy
was cleansed.
And Jesus saith unto him, See
thou tell no man; but go thy way,
shew myself to the priest, and of
fer the gift that Moses commanded,
for testimony unto them.
And when Jesus was entered into
Capernaum, there came unto him
centurion, beseeching him,
And saying, Lord, my servant
lieth at home sick of the palsy, griev-
ously tOrmented.
And Jesus saith unto him, will
come and heal him.
The centurion answered and said,
Lord / am not worthy that thou
shouldest come under my roof: but
speak the word only, and my SER
want shall be healed.
9 For | am man under authority,
having soldiers under me: and | say to
this man, Go, and he goeth; and to
another, Come, and he cOmeth; and TO
my servant, Do this, and he dOeth it.
10 When Jesus heard it, he marvel
led, and said to them that followed,
Verify ] say unto you, | have not
found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
IL And say unto you, That many
shall come from the east and west,
and shall sit down with Abraham,
and Isaac, and Jacob, in the king
dom of heaven.
IL But the children of the king
dom shall be cast out into outer dark
ness: there shall be weeping and
crashing of teeth.
13 And Jesus said unto the cen
turion, Go thy way; and Us thou hast
believed, so be it done unto thee. And
his servant was healed in the self
same hour.
II And when Jesus was come into
Peters house, he saw his wife's
mother laid, and sick Of fever.
Is And he touched her hani, and
the fever left her: and she arose, and
ministered unto them.
10 When the even was come they
brought unto him many that were
possessed with devils: and he cast out
the spirits with his word, and heal
cd all that were sick:
II That it might be fulfilled which
was spoken by Esaias the prophet,
saying, Himself took our iniirmities,
and bare oar sicknesses.
Is Now when Jesus saw great null
titudes about him, he gave command
ment to depart unto the other side.
10 And a certain scribe came, and
said unto him, Master, will follow
thee whthersOever thou goest.
20 And Jesus saith unto him, The
foxes have holes. and the birds of the
air have nests; but the Son of man
hath not where to lay his head.
u And another of his disciples said
unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go
and bury my father.
% But Jesus said unto him, Follow
me; and let the dead bury their dead.
% And when he was entered into a
ship, his disciples followed him,
81 And, behold, there arose a great
tempest in the sea, insomuch that the
ship was covered with the waves: but
he was asleep.
% And his disciples came to him,
and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us:
we perish.
( 26 And he saith unto them, Why are
We fearful, o We of little faith? Then
he arose, and rebuked the winds and
the sea; and there was great calm.
q But the men maryelled, saying,
What manner of man is this, that even
the winds and the sea obey him.
2S And when he was come to the
other side into the country of the
Gergesenes, there met him two pos
sessed with devils, coming out OF the
tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no
man might pass by that way.
% And, behold, they cried out, say
ing, What have We to DO with thee,
Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou
come hithcr to torment us before the
Time?
80 And there was Il good way OFF
from them an herd OF many swine
feeding.
81 So the devils besought him, say
ing, Ii thou cast Us out, suffer us to
go away into the herd of swine.
- And he said unto them, Go. Ant
when they were come out, they went
into the herd of swine: and, behold
the whole herd of swine ran viOlentl!
. down steep place into the sea. ant
