«Señor, mi criado yace en casa, paralítico y con muchos sufrimientos.»

7 J esus said to the captain, “I will come and heal him.”

Jesús le dijo: «Iré a sanarlo.»

8 T he captain said, “Lord, I am not good enough for You to come to my house. Only speak the word, and my servant will be healed.

El centurión le respondió: «Señor, yo no soy digno de que entres a mi casa. Pero una sola palabra tuya bastará para que mi criado sane.

9 I am a man who works for someone else and I have men working under me. I say to this man, ‘Go!’ and he goes. I say to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes. I say to my servant, ‘Do this!’ and he does it.”

Porque yo también estoy bajo autoridad, y tengo soldados bajo mis órdenes. Si a uno le digo que vaya, va; y si a otro le digo que venga, viene; y si le digo a mi siervo: “Haz esto”, lo hace.»

10 W hen Jesus heard this, He was surprised and wondered about it. He said to those who followed Him, “For sure, I tell you, I have not found so much faith in the Jewish nation.

Al oír esto Jesús, se quedó admirado y dijo a los que lo seguían: «De cierto les digo, que ni aun en Israel he hallado tanta fe.

11 I say to you, many people will come from the east and from the west. They will sit down with Abraham and with Isaac and with Jacob in the holy nation of heaven.

Yo les digo que muchos vendrán del oriente y del occidente, y se sentarán con Abrahán, Isaac y Jacob en el reino de los cielos;

12 B ut those who should have belonged to the holy nation of heaven will be thrown out into outer darkness, where there will be crying and grinding of teeth.”

pero los hijos del reino serán arrojados a las tinieblas de afuera. Allí habrá llanto y rechinar de dientes.»

13 J esus said to the captain, “Go your way. It is done for you even as you had faith to believe.” The servant was healed at that time. Peter’s Mother-In-Law Healed

25 H is followers went to Him and called, “Help us, Lord, or we will die!”

Sus discípulos lo despertaron y le dijeron: «¡Señor, sálvanos, que estamos por naufragar!»

28 J esus came to the other side of the lake into the country of the Gadarenes. Two men came to Him from among the graves. They had demons in them and were very wild men. They were so bad that no one would go near them.

Cuando llegó a la otra orilla, que era la tierra de los gadarenos, dos endemoniados salieron de entre los sepulcros y se le acercaron. Eran tan feroces que nadie se atrevía a pasar por aquel camino.

29 T hey called out, saying, “What do You want of us, You Son of God? Have You come here to make us suffer before it is our time to suffer?”

Y entre gritos le dijeron: «Hijo de Dios, ¿qué tienes que ver con nosotros? ¿Has venido a atormentarnos antes de tiempo?»

30 A long way from there many pigs were eating.

Lejos de ellos había un hato de muchos cerdos, que pacían.

31 T he demons begged Jesus, saying, “If You put us out, send us into the pigs.”

Y los demonios le rogaron: «Si nos expulsas, permítenos ir a aquel hato de cerdos.»

32 J esus said to the demons, “Go!” They came out of the men and went into the pigs. At once the pigs ran down the mountain side. They fell into the water and died.

Él les dijo: «Vayan.» Ellos salieron, y se fueron a los cerdos, y todo el hato se lanzó al lago por un despeñadero, y perecieron ahogados.

33 T he men who cared for the pigs ran fast into the city and told everything. They told what happened to the men who had the demons.

Los que cuidaban de los cerdos huyeron y fueron corriendo a la ciudad, y allí contaron todas estas cosas, incluso lo que había pasado con los endemoniados.
