Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1And entering into a boat, he passed over the water and came into his own city.
1Et ascendens in naviculam, transfretavit, et venit in civitatem suam.
2And behold they brought to him one sick of the palsy lying in a bed. And Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the man sick of the palsy: Be of good heart, son, thy sins are forgiven thee.
2Et ecce offerebant ei paralyticum jacentem in lecto. Et videns Jesus fidem illorum, dixit paralytico: Confide fili, remittuntur tibi peccata tua.
3And behold some of the scribes said within themselves: He blasphemeth.
3Et ecce quidam de scribis dixerunt intra se: Hic blasphemat.
4And Jesus seeing their thoughts, said: Why do you think evil in your hearts?
4Et cum vidisset Jesus cogitationes eorum, dixit: Ut quid cogitatis mala in cordibus vestris?
5Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee: or to say, Arise, and walk?
5Quid est facilius dicere: Dimittuntur tibi peccata tua: an dicere: Surge, et ambula?
6But that you may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then said he to the man sick of palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go into thy house.
6Ut autem sciatis, quia Filius hominis habet potestatem in terra dimittendi peccata, tunc ait paralytico: Surge, tolle lectum tuum, et vade in domum tuam.
7And he arose, and went into his house.
7Et surrexit, et abiit in domum suam.
8And the multitude seeing it, feared, and glorified God that gave such power to men.
8Videntes autem turbæ timuerunt, et glorificaverunt Deum, qui dedit potestatem talem hominibus.
9And when Jesus passed on from hence, he saw a man sitting in the custom house, named Matthew; and he saith to him: Follow me. And he rose up and followed him.
9Et, cum transiret inde Jesus, vidit hominem sedentem in telonio, Matthæum nomine. Et ait illi: Sequere me. Et surgens, secutus est eum.
10And it came to pass as he was sitting at meat in the house, behold many publicans and sinners came, and sat down with Jesus and his disciples.
10Et factum est, discumbente eo in domo, ecce multi publicani et peccatores venientes, discumbebant cum Jesu, et discipulis ejus.
11And the Pharisees seeing it, said to his disciples: Why doth your master eat with publicans and sinners?
11Et videntes pharisæi, dicebant discipulis ejus: Quare cum publicanis et peccatoribus manducat magister vester?
12But Jesus hearing it, said: They that are in health need not a physician, but they that are ill.
12At Jesus audiens, ait: Non est opus valentibus medicus, sed male habentibus.
13Go then and learn what this meaneth, I will have mercy and not sacrifice. For I am not come to call the just, but sinners.
13Euntes autem discite quid est: Misericordiam volo, et non sacrificium. Non enim veni vocare justos, sed peccatores.
14Then came to him the disciples of John, saying: Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but thy disciples do not fast?
14Tunc accesserunt ad eum discipuli Joannis, dicentes: Quare nos, et pharisæi, jejunamus frequenter: discipuli autem tui non jejunant?
15And Jesus said to them: Can the children of the bridegroom mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then they shall fast.
15Et ait illis Jesus: Numquid possunt filii sponsi lugere, quamdiu cum illis est sponsus? Venient autem dies cum auferetur ab eis sponsus: et tunc jejunabunt.
16And nobody putteth a piece of raw cloth unto an old garment. For it taketh away the fullness thereof from the garment, and there is made a greater rent.
16Nemo autem immittit commissuram panni rudis in vestimentum vetus: tollit enim plenitudinem ejus a vestimento, et pejor scissura fit.
17Neither do they put new wine into old bottles. Otherwise the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish. But new wine they put into new bottles: and both are preserved.
17Neque mittunt vinum novum in utres veteres: alioquin rumpuntur utres, et vinum effunditur, et utres pereunt. Sed vinum novum in utres novos mittunt: et ambo conservantur.
18And he was speaking these things unto them, behold a certain ruler came up, and adored him, saying: Lord, my daughter is even now dead; but come, lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.
18Hæc illo loquente ad eos, ecce princeps unus accessit, et adorabat eum, dicens: Domine, filia mea modo defuncta est: sed veni, impone manum tuam super eam, et vivet.
19And Jesus rising up followed him, with his disciples.
19Et surgens Jesus, sequebatur eum, et discipuli ejus.
20And behold a woman who was troubled with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment.
20Et ecce mulier, quæ sanguinis fluxum patiebatur duodecim annis, accessit retro, et tetigit fimbriam vestimenti ejus.
21For she said within herself: If I shall touch only his garment, I shall be healed.
21Dicebat enim intra se: Si tetigero tantum vestimentum ejus, salva ero.
22But Jesus turning and seeing her, said: Be of good heart, daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.
22At Jesus conversus, et videns eam, dixit: Confide, filia, fides tua te salvam fecit. Et salva facta est mulier ex illa hora.
23And when Jesus was come into the house of the ruler, and saw the minstrels and the multitude making a rout,
23Et cum venisset Jesus in domum principis, et vidisset tibicines et turbam tumultuantem, dicebat:
24He said: Give place, for the girl is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.
24Recedite: non est enim mortua puella, sed dormit. Et deridebant eum.
25And when the multitude was put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand. And the maid arose.
25Et cum ejecta esset turba, intravit: et tenuit manum ejus, et surrexit puella.
26And the fame hereof went abroad into all that country.
26Et exiit fama hæc in universam terram illam.
27And as Jesus passed from thence, there followed him two blind men crying out and saying, Have mercy on us, O Son of David.
27Et transeunte inde Jesu, secuti sunt eum duo cæci, clamantes, et dicentes: Miserere nostri, fili David.
28And when he was come to the house, the blind men came to him. And Jesus saith to them, Do you believe, that I can do this unto you? They say to him, Yea, Lord.
28Cum autem venisset domum, accesserunt ad eum cæci. Et dicit eis Jesus: Creditis quia hoc possum facere vobis? Dicunt ei: Utique, Domine.
29Then he touched their eyes, saying, According to your faith, be it done unto you.
29Tunc tetigit oculos eorum, dicens: Secundum fidem vestram, fiat vobis.
30And their eyes were opened, and Jesus strictly charged them, saying, See that no man know this.
30Et aperti sunt oculi eorum: et comminatus est illis Jesus, dicens: Videte ne quis sciat.
31But they going out, spread his fame abroad in all that country.
31Illi autem exeuntes, diffamaverunt eum in tota terra illa.
32And when they were gone out, behold they brought him a dumb man, possessed with a devil.
32Egressis autem illis, ecce obtulerunt ei hominem mutum, dæmonium habentem.
33And after the devil was cast out, the dumb man spoke, and the multitudes wondered, saying, Never was the like seen in Israel.
33Et ejecto dæmonio, locutus est mutus, et miratæ sunt turbæ, dicentes: Numquam apparuit sic in Israël.
34But the Pharisees said, By the prince of devils he casteth out devils.
34Pharisæi autem dicebant: In principe dæmoniorum ejicit dæmones.
35And Jesus went about all the cities, and towns, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease, and every infirmity.
35Et circuibat Jesus omnes civitates, et castella, docens in synagogis eorum, et prædicans Evangelium regni, et curans omnem languorem, et omnem infirmitatem.
36And seeing the multitudes, he had compassion on them: because they were distressed, and lying like sheep that have no shepherd.
36Videns autem turbas, misertus est eis: quia erant vexati, et jacentes sicut oves non habentes pastorem.
37Then he saith to his disciples, The harvest indeed is great, but the labourers are few.
37Tunc dicit discipulis suis: Messis quidem multa, operarii autem pauci.
38Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth labourers into his harvest.
38Rogate ergo Dominum messis, ut mittat operarios in messem suam.
