Gospel Matthew 8:5-17

  • 5And when he had entered into Capernaum, a centurion approached, petitioning him,

  • 6and saying, “Lord, my servant lies at home paralyzed and badly tormented.”

  • 7And Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.”

  • 8And responding, the centurion said: “Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word, and my servant shall be healed.

  • 9For I, too, am a man placed under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes, and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes, and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”

  • 10And, hearing this, Jesus wondered. And he said to those following him: “Amen I say to you, I have not found so great a faith in Israel.

  • 11For I say to you, that many shall come from the east and the west, and they shall sit at table with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.

  • 12But the sons of the kingdom shall be cast into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

  • 13And Jesus said to the centurion, “Go, and just as you have believed, so let it be done for you.” And the servant was healed at that very hour.

  • 14And when Jesus had arrived at the house of Peter, he saw his mother-in-law lying ill with a fever.

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

  • 16And when evening arrived, they brought to him many who had demons, and he cast out the spirits with a word. And he healed all those having maladies,

  • 17in order to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah, saying, “He took our infirmities, and he carried away our diseases.”

Computed by Bless from the US Lectionary cycle — confirm with your parish.

In US parishes the readings are proclaimed from the NABRE; the text shown here is the Catholic Public Domain Version.

Old Testament readings and the psalm are listed with a link to their chapter: the US Lectionary numbers some of their verses differently from the CPDV, so their text is not printed here. Psalm citations keep the Lectionary’s Hebrew numbering; the CPDV numbers the Psalms as the Vulgate does.
