The Gospel.

WHen hee was come downe from the mountaine, * much people fol∣lowed him. And beholde, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Master, if thou wilt, thou canst make me cleane. And Iesus put foorth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will, bee thou cleane. And immediatly his lepro∣sie was cleansed. And Iesus sayd vnto him. Tell no man, but goe and shewe thy selfe to the Priest, and offer the gift (that Mo∣ses commanded to bee offered) for a witnesie vnto them. And when Iesus was entred into Capernaum, there came vnto him a Centuriō and besought him, saying, Master, my seruant lyeth at home sicke of the palsie, and is grieuoussly pained. And Iesus sayd, when I come vnto him, I will heale him. The Centuriom answered and sayd, Sir, I am not woorthy that thou shouldest come vnder my roofe: but Page  [unnumbered] speake the word onely, and my seruant shal be healed. For I also my self am a man subiect to the auyhority of another, and haue souldiers vnder me: & I say to this man, Go & he goeth: & to another man, Come, & he commeth: & to my seruant, Do this, & he doth it. When Iesus heard these words, he maruci∣led, & said to them that followed him, Verily I say vnto you: I haue not foūd so great faith in Israel. I say vnto you, that many shal come from the East & West, & shal rest with Abra∣ham Isahar, & Iacob in the kingdome of heauen: But the children of the kingdome shal be cast out into vtter darkenes, there shalbe weeping and gnashing of teeth. And Iesus said vnto the Centurion, Go thy way, and as thou beleeuest so be it vnto thee. And his seruant was healed the selfe same hour.
