Clementine Vulgate, 1598
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1In illo tempore abiit Jesus per sata sabbato: discipuli autem ejus esurientes cœperunt vellere spicas, et manducare.
1At that time Jesus went through the corn on the sabbath: and his disciples being hungry, began to pluck the ears, and to eat.
2Pharisæi autem videntes, dixerunt ei: Ecce discipuli tui faciunt quod non licet facere sabbatis.
2And the Pharisees seeing them, said to him: Behold thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days.
3At ille dixit eis: Non legistis quid fecerit David, quando esuriit, et qui cum eo erant:
3But he said to them: Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, and they that were with him:
4quomodo intravit in domum Dei, et panes propositionis comedit, quos non licebat ei edere, neque his qui cum eo erant, nisi solis sacerdotibus?
4How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the loaves of proposition, which it was not lawful for him to eat, nor for them that were with him, but for the priests only?
5aut non legistis in lege quia sabbatis sacerdotes in templo sabbatum violant, et sine crimine sunt?
5Or have ye not read in the law, that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple break the sabbath, and are without blame?
6Dico autem vobis, quia templo major est hic.
6But I tell you that there is here a greater than the temple.
7Si autem sciretis, quid est: Misericordiam volo, et non sacrificium: numquam condemnassetis innocentes:
7And if you knew what this meaneth: I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: you would never have condemned the innocent.
8dominus enim est Filius hominis etiam sabbati.
8For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath.
9Et cum inde transisset, venit in synagogam eorum.
9And when he has passed from thence, he came into their synagogues.
10Et ecce homo manum habens aridam, et interrogabant eum, dicentes: Si licet sabbatis curare? ut accusarent eum.
10And behold there was a man who had a withered hand, and they asked him, saying: Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him.
11Ipse autem dixit illis: Quis erit ex vobis homo, qui habeat ovem unam, et si ceciderit hæc sabbatis in foveam, nonne tenebit et levabit eam?
11But he said to them: What man shall there be among you, that hath one sheep: and if the same fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not take hold on it and lift it up?
12Quanto magis melior est homo ove? itaque licet sabbatis benefacere.
12How much better is a man than a sheep? Therefore it is lawful to do a good deed on the sabbath days.
13Tunc ait homini: Extende manum tuam. Et extendit, et restituta est sanitati sicut altera.
13Then he saith to the man: Stretch forth thy hand; and he stretched it forth, and it was restored to health even as the other.
14Exeuntes autem pharisæi, consilium faciebant adversus eum, quomodo perderent eum.
14And the Pharisees going out made a consultation against him, how they might destroy him.
15Jesus autem sciens recessit inde: et secuti sunt eum multi, et curavit eos omnes:
15But Jesus knowing it, retired from thence: and many followed him, and he healed them all.
16et præcepit eis ne manifestum eum facerent.
16And he charged them that they should not make him known.
17Ut adimpleretur quod dictum est per Isaiam prophetam, dicentem:
17That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaias the prophet, saying:
18[Ecce puer meus, quem elegi, dilectus meus, in quo bene complacuit animæ meæ. Ponam spiritum meum super eum, et judicium gentibus nuntiabit.
18Behold my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved in whom my soul hath been well pleased. I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles.
19Non contendet, neque clamabit, neque audiet aliquis in plateis vocem ejus:
19He shall not contend, nor cry out, neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.
20arundinem quassatam non confringet, et linum fumigans non extinguet, donec ejiciat ad victoriam judicium:
20The bruised reed he shall not break: and smoking flax he shall not extinguish: till he send forth judgment unto victory.
21et in nomine ejus gentes sperabunt.]
21And in his name the Gentiles shall hope.
22Tunc oblatus est ei dæmonium habens, cæcus, et mutus, et curavit eum ita ut loqueretur, et videret.
22Then was offered to him one possessed with a devil, blind and dumb: and he healed him, so that he spoke and saw.
23Et stupebant omnes turbæ, et dicebant: Numquid hic est filius David?
23And all the multitudes were amazed, and said: Is not this the son of David?
24Pharisæi autem audientes, dixerunt: Hic non ejicit dæmones nisi in Beelzebub principe dæmoniorum.
24But the Pharisees hearing it, said: This man casteth not out the devils but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.
25Jesus autem sciens cogitationes eorum, dixit eis: Omne regnum divisum contra se desolabitur: et omnis civitas vel domus divisa contra se, non stabit.
25And Jesus knowing their thoughts, said to them: Every kingdom divided against itself shall be made desolate: and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand.
26Et si Satanas Satanam ejicit, adversus se divisus est: quomodo ergo stabit regnum ejus?
26And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself: how then shall his kingdom stand?
27Et si ego in Beelzebub ejicio dæmones, filii vestri in quo ejiciunt? ideo ipsi judices vestri erunt.
27And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges.
28Si autem ego in Spiritu Dei ejicio dæmones, igitur pervenit in vos regnum Dei.
28But if I by the Spirit of God cast out devils, then is the kingdom of God come upon you.
29Aut quomodo potest quisquam intrare in domum fortis, et vasa ejus diripere, nisi prius alligaverit fortem? et tunc domum illius diripiet.
29Or how can any one enter into the house of the strong, and rifle his goods, unless he first bind the strong? and then he will rifle his house.
30Qui non est mecum, contra me est; et qui non congregat mihi, spargit.
30He that is not with me, is against me: and he that gathereth not with me, scattereth.
31Ideo dico vobis: Omne peccatum et blasphemia remittetur hominibus, Spiritus autem blasphemia non remittetur.
31Therefore I say to you: Every sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven men, but the blasphemy of the Spirit shall not be forgiven.
32Et quicumque dixerit verbum contra Filium hominis, remittetur ei: qui autem dixerit contra Spiritum Sanctum, non remittetur ei, neque in hoc sæculo, neque in futuro.
32And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but he that shall speak against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, nor in the world to come.
33Aut facite arborem bonam, et fructum ejus bonum: aut facite arborem malam, et fructum ejus malum: siquidem ex fructu arbor agnoscitur.
33Either make the tree good and its fruit good: or make the tree evil, and its fruit evil. For by the fruit the tree is known.
34Progenies viperarum, quomodo potestis bona loqui, cum sitis mali? ex abundantia enim cordis os loquitur.
34O generation of vipers, how can you speak good things, whereas you are evil? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
35Bonus homo de bono thesauro profert bona: et malus homo de malo thesauro profert mala.
35A good man out of a good treasure bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of an evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
36Dico autem vobis quoniam omne verbum otiosum, quod locuti fuerint homines, reddent rationem de eo in die judicii.
36But I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall render an account for it in the day of judgment.
37Ex verbis enim tuis justificaberis et ex verbis tuis condemnaberis.
37For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
38Tunc responderunt ei quidam de scribis et pharisæis, dicentes: Magister, volumus a te signum videre.
38Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered him, saying: Master we would see a sign from thee.
39Qui respondens ait illis: Generatio mala et adultera signum quærit: et signum non dabitur ei, nisi signum Jonæ prophetæ.
39Who answering said to them: An evil and adulterous generation seeketh a sign: and a sign shall not be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.
40Sicut enim fuit Jonas in ventre ceti tribus diebus, et tribus noctibus, sic erit Filius hominis in corde terræ tribus diebus et tribus noctibus.
40For as Jonas was in the whale’s belly three days and three nights: so shall the Son of man be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights.
41Viri Ninivitæ surgent in judicio cum generatione ista, et condemnabunt eam: quia pœnitentiam egerunt in prædicatione Jonæ, et ecce plus quam Jonas hic.
41The men of Ninive shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they did penance at the preaching of Jonas. And behold a greater than Jonas here.
42Regina austri surget in judicio cum generatione ista, et condemnabit eam: quia venit a finibus terræ audire sapientiam Salomonis, et ecce plus quam Salomon hic.
42The queen of the south shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold a greater than Solomon here.
43Cum autem immundus spiritus exierit ab homine, ambulat per loca arida, quærens requiem, et non invenit.
43And when an unclean spirit is gone out of a man he walketh through dry places seeking rest, and findeth none.
44Tunc dicit: Revertar in domum meam, unde exivi. Et veniens invenit eam vacantem, scopis mundatam, et ornatam.
44Then he saith: I will return into my house from whence I came out. And coming he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.
45Tunc vadit, et assumit septem alios spiritus secum nequiores se, et intrantes habitant ibi: et fiunt novissima hominis illius pejora prioribus. Sic erit et generationi huic pessimæ.
45Then he goeth, and taketh with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is made worse than the first. So shall it be also to this wicked generation.
46Adhuc eo loquente ad turbas, ecce mater ejus et fratres stabant foris, quærentes loqui ei.
46As he was yet speaking to the multitudes, behold his mother and his brethren stood without, seeking to speak to him.
47Dixit autem ei quidam: Ecce mater tua, et fratres tui foris stant quærentes te.
47And one said unto him: Behold thy mother and thy brethren stand without, seeking thee.
48At ipse respondens dicenti sibi, ait: Quæ est mater mea, et qui sunt fratres mei?
48But he answering him that told him, said: Who is my mother, and who are my brethren?
49Et extendens manum in discipulos suos, dixit: Ecce mater mea, et fratres mei.
49And stretching forth his hand towards his disciples, he said: Behold my mother and my brethren.
50Quicumque enim fecerit voluntatem Patris mei, qui in cælis est, ipse meus frater, et soror, et mater est.
50For whosoever shall do the will of my Father, that is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.
