GOSPEL 

"Many will come from the east and the west and will take their place at the feast of the kingdom of Heaven" 

Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 8, 5-11 

At that time,

as Jesus had entered Capernaum,

a centurion approached him and begged him:

“Lord, my servant is lying at home, paralyzed,

and he is in terrible pain. "

Jesus said to him:

" I will go and heal him myself. "

The centurion replied,

" Lord, I am not worthy

to have you come under my roof,

but only say the word

and my servant will be healed.

I myself, who am subject to an authority,

have soldiers under my orders;

to one, I say: “Go”, and he goes;

to another: “Come”, and he comes,

and to my slave: “Do this”, and he does it. "

At this, Jesus was amazed

and said to those who followed him,

"Truly, I tell you,

with no one in Israel I have found such faith."

So I say to you:

Many will come from the east and the west

and will take their places with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob

at the feast of the kingdom of Heaven. "
