Sequel of the holy Gospel according to Matthew, Ch. VIII
At that time, when Jesus was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed Him; and behold a leper came and adored Him, saying: Lord, if You will, You can make me clean. And Jesus stretching forth His hand, touched him, saying: I will, be made clean. And forthwith his leprosy was cleansed. And Jesus said to him: Tell no man, but go show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift which Moses commanded for a testimony unto them. And when He had entered unto Capharnaum, there came to Him a centurion, beseeching Him, and saying: Lord, my servant lies at home sick of the palsy, and is grievously tormented. And Jesus said 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 under authority, having under me soldiers; 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. And when Jesus heard this, He 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 unto 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 you have believed, so be it done to you. And the servant was healed at the same hour.
