5 A l entrar Jesús en Cafarnaún, se le acercó un centurión, y le rogó:

Jesus came to the city of Capernaum. A captain of the army came to Him. He asked for help,

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

7 J esús le dijo: «Iré a sanarlo.»

Jesus said to the captain, “I will come and heal him.”

8 E l 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.

The 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.

9 P orque 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.»

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.”

10 A l 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.

When 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.

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

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.

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

But 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.”

13 L uego dijo Jesús al centurión: «Ve, y que se haga contigo tal y como has creído.» Y en ese mismo momento el criado del centurión quedó sano. Jesús sana a la suegra de Pedro

Jesus 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.

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

They 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?”

30 L ejos de ellos había un hato de muchos cerdos, que pacían.

A long way from there many pigs were eating.

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

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

32 É l 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.

Jesus 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.
