Evangelho segundo São Mateus 8

SAGRADA BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Tendo Jesus descido da montanha, uma grande multidão o seguiu.	1 And when he had descended from the mountain, great crowds followed him.
2 Eis que um leproso aproximou-se e prostrou-se diante dele, dizendo: Senhor, se queres, podes curar-me.	2 And behold, a leper, drawing near, adored him, saying, “Lord, if you are willing, you are able to cleanse me.”
3 Jesus estendeu a mão, tocou-o e disse: Eu quero, sê curado. No mesmo instante, a lepra desapareceu.	3 And Jesus, extending his hand, touched him, saying: “I am willing. Be cleansed.” And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
4 Jesus então lhe disse: Vê que não o digas a ninguém. Vai, porém, mostrar-te ao sacerdote e oferece o dom prescrito por Moisés em testemunho de tua cura.	4 And Jesus said to him: “See to it that you tell no one. But go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses instructed, as a testimony for them.”
5 Entrou Jesus em Cafarnaum. Um centurião veio a ele e lhe fez esta súplica:	5 And when he had entered into Capernaum, a centurion approached, petitioning him,
6 Senhor, meu servo está em casa, de cama, paralítico, e sofre muito.	6 and saying, “Lord, my servant lies at home paralyzed and badly tormented.”
7 Disse-lhe Jesus: Eu irei e o curarei.	7 And Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.”
8 Respondeu o centurião: Senhor, eu não sou digno de que entreis em minha casa. Dizei uma só palavra e meu servo será curado.	8 And 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.
9 Pois eu também sou um subordinado e tenho soldados às minhas ordens. Eu digo a um: Vai, e ele vai; a outro: Vem, e ele vem; e a meu servo: Faze isto, e ele o faz...	9 For 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.”
10 Ouvindo isto, cheio de admiração, disse Jesus aos presentes: Em verdade vos digo: não encontrei semelhante fé em ninguém de Israel.	10 And, 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.
11 Por isso, eu vos declaro que multidões virão do Oriente e do Ocidente e se assentarão no Reino dos céus com Abraão, Isaac e Jacó,	11 For 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.
12 enquanto os filhos do Reino serão lançados nas trevas exteriores, onde haverá choro e ranger de dentes.	12 But the sons of the kingdom shall be cast into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
13 Depois, dirigindo-se ao centurião, disse: Vai, seja-te feito conforme a tua fé. Na mesma hora o servo ficou curado.	13 And 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.
14 Foi então Jesus à casa de Pedro, cuja sogra estava de cama, com febre.	14 And when Jesus had arrived at the house of Peter, he saw his mother-in-law lying ill with a fever.
15 Tomou-lhe a mão, e a febre a deixou. Ela levantou-se e pôs-se a servi-los.	15 And he touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she rose up and ministered to them.
16 Pela tarde, apresentaram-lhe muitos possessos de demônios. Com uma palavra expulsou ele os espíritos e curou todos os enfermos.	16 And 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,
17 Assim se cumpriu a predição do profeta Isaías: Tomou as nossas enfermidades e sobrecarregou-se dos nossos males {Is 53,4}.	17 in order to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah, saying, “He took our infirmities, and he carried away our diseases.”
18 Certo dia, vendo-se no meio de grande multidão, ordenou Jesus que o levassem para a outra margem do lago.	18 Then Jesus, seeing the great crowds encircling him, gave orders to go across the sea.
19 Nisto aproximou-se dele um escriba e lhe disse: Mestre, seguir-te-ei para onde quer que fores.	19 And one scribe, approaching, said to him, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you will go.”
20 Respondeu Jesus: As raposas têm suas tocas e as aves do céu, seus ninhos, mas o Filho do Homem não tem onde repousar a cabeça.	20 And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have dens, and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of man has nowhere to rest his head.”
21 Outra vez um dos seus discípulos lhe disse: Senhor, deixa-me ir primeiro enterrar meu pai.	21 Then another of his disciples said to him, “Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father.”
22 Jesus, porém, lhe respondeu: Segue-me e deixa que os mortos enterrem seus mortos.	22 But Jesus said to him, “Follow me, and allow the dead to bury their dead.”
23 Subiu ele a uma barca com seus discípulos.	23 And climbing into a boat, his disciples followed him.
24 De repente, desencadeou-se sobre o mar uma tempestade tão grande, que as ondas cobriam a barca. Ele, no entanto, dormia.	24 And behold, a great tempest occurred in the sea, so much so that the boat was covered with waves; yet truly, he was sleeping.
25 Os discípulos achegaram-se a ele e o acordaram, dizendo: Senhor, salva-nos, nós perecemos!	25 And his disciples drew near to him, and they awakened him, saying: “Lord, save us, we are perishing.”
26 E Jesus perguntou: Por que este medo, gente de pouca fé? Então, levantando-se, deu ordens aos ventos e ao mar, e fez-se uma grande calmaria.	26 And Jesus said to them, “Why are you afraid, O little in faith?” Then rising up, he commanded the winds, and the sea. And a great tranquility occurred.
27 Admirados, diziam: Quem é este homem a quem até os ventos e o mar obedecem?	27 Moreover, the men wondered, saying: “What kind of man is this? For even the winds and the sea obey him.”
28 No outro lado do lago, na terra dos gadarenos, dois possessos de demônios saíram de um cemitério e vieram-lhe ao encontro. Eram tão furiosos que pessoa alguma ousava passar por ali.	28 And when he had arrived across the sea, into the region of the Gerasenes, he was met by two who had demons, who were so exceedingly savage, as they went out from among the tombs, that no one was able to cross by that way.
29 Eis que se puseram a gritar: Que tens a ver conosco, Filho de Deus? Vieste aqui para nos atormentar antes do tempo?	29 And behold, they cried out, saying: “What are we to you, O Jesus, the Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?”
30 Havia, não longe dali, uma grande manada de porcos que pastava.	30 Now there was, not far from them, a herd of many swine feeding.
31 Os demônios imploraram a Jesus: Se nos expulsas, envia-nos para aquela manada de porcos.	31 Then the demons petitioned him, saying: “If you cast us from here, send us into the herd of swine.”
32 Ide, disse-lhes. Eles saíram e entraram nos porcos. Nesse instante toda a manada se precipitou pelo declive escarpado para o lago, e morreu nas águas.	32 And he said to them, “Go.” And they, going out, went into the swine. And behold, the entire herd suddenly rushed along a steep place into the sea. And they died in the waters.
33 Os guardas fugiram e foram contar na cidade o que se tinha passado e o sucedido com os endemoninhados.	33 Then the shepherds fled, and arriving in the city, they reported on all this, and on those who had had the demons.
34 Então a população saiu ao encontro de Jesus. Quando o viu, suplicou-lhe que deixasse aquela região.	34 And behold, the entire city went out to meet Jesus. And having seen him, they petitioned him, so that he would cross from their borders.
