Los milagros de Jesús
The Centurion's Servant in Capernaum
A Roman centurion in Capernaum comes to Jesus and asks for help for his servant, who is paralyzed and suffering greatly. When Jesus offers to come to his home, he replies: "Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof. Just say the word, and my servant will be healed." He understands authority because he himself is under authority. Jesus marvels at his faith and says: "I have not found such great faith in anyone in Israel." The servant is healed at that very moment.
Mateo 8,5-13
5When Jesus entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him, pleading with him
⸂Εἰσελθόντος δὲ αὐτοῦ⸃ εἰς Καφαρναοὺμ προσῆλθεν αὐτῷ ἑκατόνταρχος παρακαλῶν αὐτὸν
6and saying, "Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, in terrible torment."
καὶ λέγων· Κύριε, ὁ παῖς μου βέβληται ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ παραλυτικός, δεινῶς βασανιζόμενος.
7Jesus said to him, "I will come and heal him."
⸀καὶ λέγει ⸀αὐτῷ· Ἐγὼ ἐλθὼν θεραπεύσω αὐτόν.
8But the centurion answered, "Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof. Just say the word, and my servant will be healed.
⸂καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς⸃ ὁ ἑκατόνταρχος ἔφη· Κύριε, οὐκ εἰμὶ ἱκανὸς ἵνα μου ὑπὸ τὴν στέγην εἰσέλθῃς· ἀλλὰ μόνον εἰπὲ λόγῳ, καὶ ἰαθήσεται ὁ παῖς μου·
9For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I say to one, 'Go,' and he goes; and to another, 'Come,' and he comes; and to my slave, 'Do this,' and he does it."
καὶ γὰρ ἐγὼ ἄνθρωπός εἰμι ὑπὸ ⸀ἐξουσίαν, ἔχων ὑπʼ ἐμαυτὸν στρατιώτας, καὶ λέγω τούτῳ· Πορεύθητι, καὶ πορεύεται, καὶ ἄλλῳ· Ἔρχου, καὶ ἔρχεται, καὶ τῷ δούλῳ μου· Ποίησον τοῦτο, καὶ ποιεῖ.
10When Jesus heard this, he was amazed and said to those who were following him, "Truly I tell you, I have found no one in Israel with such faith.
ἀκούσας δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐθαύμασεν καὶ εἶπεν τοῖς ἀκολουθοῦσιν· Ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ⸂παρʼ οὐδενὶ τοσαύτην πίστιν ἐν τῷ Ἰσραὴλ⸃ εὗρον.
11I tell you, many will come from east and west and take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven,
λέγω δὲ ὑμῖν ὅτι πολλοὶ ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν καὶ δυσμῶν ἥξουσιν καὶ ἀνακλιθήσονται μετὰ Ἀβραὰμ καὶ Ἰσαὰκ καὶ Ἰακὼβ ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τῶν οὐρανῶν·
12while the sons of the kingdom will be thrown outside, into the deepest darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."
οἱ δὲ υἱοὶ τῆς βασιλείας ἐκβληθήσονται εἰς τὸ σκότος τὸ ἐξώτερον· ἐκεῖ ἔσται ὁ κλαυθμὸς καὶ ὁ βρυγμὸς τῶν ὀδόντων.
13Then Jesus said to the centurion, "Go. Let it be done for you as you have believed." And the servant was healed that very hour.
καὶ εἶπεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς τῷ ἑκατοντάρχῃ· Ὕπαγε, ⸀ὡς ἐπίστευσας γενηθήτω σοι· καὶ ἰάθη ὁ ⸀παῖς ἐν τῇ ὥρᾳ ἐκείνῃ.
Lucas 7,1-10
1When Jesus had finished saying all this in the hearing of the people, he entered Capernaum.
⸀Ἐπειδὴ ἐπλήρωσεν πάντα τὰ ῥήματα αὐτοῦ εἰς τὰς ἀκοὰς τοῦ λαοῦ, εἰσῆλθεν εἰς Καφαρναούμ.
2A centurion there had a servant whom he valued highly, and the man was sick and about to die.
Ἑκατοντάρχου δέ τινος δοῦλος κακῶς ἔχων ἤμελλεν τελευτᾶν, ὃς ἦν αὐτῷ ἔντιμος.
3When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent some elders of the Jews to him, asking him to come and save his servant's life.
ἀκούσας δὲ περὶ τοῦ Ἰησοῦ ἀπέστειλεν πρὸς αὐτὸν πρεσβυτέρους τῶν Ἰουδαίων, ἐρωτῶν αὐτὸν ὅπως ἐλθὼν διασώσῃ τὸν δοῦλον αὐτοῦ.
4They came to Jesus and pleaded with him earnestly: "He deserves to have you do this for him,
οἱ δὲ παραγενόμενοι πρὸς τὸν Ἰησοῦν παρεκάλουν αὐτὸν σπουδαίως λέγοντες ὅτι Ἄξιός ἐστιν ᾧ ⸀παρέξῃ τοῦτο,
5for he loves our nation, and he himself built our synagogue."
ἀγαπᾷ γὰρ τὸ ἔθνος ἡμῶν καὶ τὴν συναγωγὴν αὐτὸς ᾠκοδόμησεν ἡμῖν.
6So Jesus went with them. He was not far from the house when the centurion sent friends to say to him: "Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy to have you come under my roof.
ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς ἐπορεύετο σὺν αὐτοῖς. ἤδη δὲ αὐτοῦ οὐ μακρὰν ἀπέχοντος ἀπὸ τῆς οἰκίας ἔπεμψεν ⸂φίλους ὁ ἑκατοντάρχης⸃ λέγων αὐτῷ· Κύριε, μὴ σκύλλου, οὐ γὰρ ⸂ἱκανός εἰμι⸃ ἵνα ὑπὸ τὴν στέγην μου εἰσέλθῃς·
7That is why I did not consider myself worthy to come to you. But say the word, and let my servant be healed.
διὸ οὐδὲ ἐμαυτὸν ἠξίωσα πρὸς σὲ ἐλθεῖν· ἀλλὰ εἰπὲ λόγῳ, καὶ ⸀ἰαθήτω ὁ παῖς μου·
8For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. 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."
καὶ γὰρ ἐγὼ ἄνθρωπός εἰμι ὑπὸ ἐξουσίαν τασσόμενος, ἔχων ὑπʼ ἐμαυτὸν στρατιώτας, καὶ λέγω τούτῳ· Πορεύθητι, καὶ πορεύεται, καὶ ἄλλῳ· Ἔρχου, καὶ ἔρχεται, καὶ τῷ δούλῳ μου· Ποίησον τοῦτο, καὶ ποιεῖ.
9When Jesus heard this, he marveled at him, and turning to the crowd that followed him he said, "I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such faith."
ἀκούσας δὲ ταῦτα ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐθαύμασεν αὐτόν, καὶ στραφεὶς τῷ ἀκολουθοῦντι αὐτῷ ὄχλῳ εἶπεν· Λέγω ὑμῖν, ⸀οὐδὲ ἐν τῷ Ἰσραὴλ τοσαύτην πίστιν εὗρον.
10And when those who had been sent returned to the house, they found the servant well.
καὶ ὑποστρέψαντες ⸂εἰς τὸν οἶκον οἱ πεμφθέντες⸃ εὗρον ⸀τὸν δοῦλον ὑγιαίνοντα.
