Stand in the fear of God and listen to the Holy Gospel.
A reading from the Gospel according to our teacher Saint Matthew the Evangelist.
May His Blessings be with us all.
Matthew 8 : 5 - 13
Chapter 8
5 | Now when Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, pleading with Him,
|
6 | saying, "Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, dreadfully tormented."
|
7 | And Jesus said to him, "I will come and heal him."
|
8 | The centurion answered and said, "Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed.
|
9 | For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. 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."
|
10 | When Jesus heard it, He marveled, and said to those who followed, "Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!
|
11 | And I say to you that many will come from east and west, and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.
|
12 | But the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."
|
13 | Then Jesus said to the centurion, "Go your way; and as you have believed, so let it be done for you." And his servant was healed that same hour.
|
And Glory be to God forever.
