The Latin Vulgate VUL
1 After Jesus had finished instructing his twelve disciples, he went on from there to teach and preach in the towns of Galilee.
1
et factum est cum consummasset Iesus praecipiens duodecim discipulis suis transiit inde ut doceret et praedicaret in civitatibus eorum
2 When John, who was in prison, heard about the deeds of the Messiah, he sent his disciples
2
Iohannes autem cum audisset in vinculis opera Christi mittens duos de discipulis suis
3 to ask him, “Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?”
3
ait illi tu es qui venturus es an alium expectamus
4 Jesus replied, “Go back and report to John what you hear and see:
4
et respondens Iesus ait illis euntes renuntiate Iohanni quae auditis et videtis
5 The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosyare cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor.
5
caeci vident claudi ambulant leprosi mundantur surdi audiunt mortui resurgunt pauperes evangelizantur
6 Blessed is anyone who does not stumble on account of me.”
6
et beatus est qui non fuerit scandalizatus in me
7 As John’s disciples were leaving, Jesus began to speak to the crowd about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swayed by the wind?
7
illis autem abeuntibus coepit Iesus dicere ad turbas de Iohanne quid existis in desertum videre harundinem vento agitatam
8 If not, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? No, those who wear fine clothes are in kings’ palaces.
8
sed quid existis videre hominem mollibus vestitum ecce qui mollibus vestiuntur in domibus regum sunt
9 Then what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.
9
sed quid existis videre prophetam etiam dico vobis et plus quam prophetam
10 This is the one about whom it is written: “ ‘I will send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way before you.’
10
hic enim est de quo scriptum est ecce ego mitto angelum meum ante faciem tuam qui praeparabit viam tuam ante te
11 Truly I tell you, among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet whoever is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
11
amen dico vobis non surrexit inter natos mulierum maior Iohanne Baptista qui autem minor est in regno caelorum maior est illo
12 From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been subjected to violence,and violent people have been raiding it.
12
a diebus autem Iohannis Baptistae usque nunc regnum caelorum vim patitur et violenti rapiunt illud
13 For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John.
13
omnes enim prophetae et lex usque ad Iohannem prophetaverunt
14 And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come.
14
et si vultis recipere ipse est Helias qui venturus est
15 Whoever has ears, let them hear.
15
qui habet aures audiendi audiat
16 “To what can I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to others:
16
cui autem similem aestimabo generationem istam similis est pueris sedentibus in foro qui clamantes coaequalibus
17 “ ‘We played the pipe for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.’
17
dicunt cecinimus vobis et non saltastis lamentavimus et non planxistis
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’
18
venit enim Iohannes neque manducans neque bibens et dicunt daemonium habet
19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’ But wisdom is proved right by her deeds.”
19
venit Filius hominis manducans et bibens et dicunt ecce homo vorax et potator vini publicanorum et peccatorum amicus et iustificata est sapientia a filiis suis
20 Then Jesus began to denounce the towns in which most of his miracles had been performed, because they did not repent.
20
tunc coepit exprobrare civitatibus in quibus factae sunt plurimae virtutes eius quia non egissent paenitentiam
21 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
21
vae tibi Corazain vae tibi Bethsaida quia si in Tyro et Sidone factae essent virtutes quae factae sunt in vobis olim in cilicio et cinere paenitentiam egissent
22 But I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.
22
verumtamen dico vobis Tyro et Sidoni remissius erit in die iudicii quam vobis
23 And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted to the heavens? No, you will go down to Hades.For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Sodom, it would have remained to this day.
23
et tu Capharnaum numquid usque in caelum exaltaberis usque in infernum descendes quia si in Sodomis factae fuissent virtutes quae factae sunt in te forte mansissent usque in hunc diem
24 But I tell you that it will be more bearable for Sodom on the day of judgment than for you.”
24
verumtamen dico vobis quia terrae Sodomorum remissius erit in die iudicii quam tibi
25 At that time Jesus said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children.
25
in illo tempore respondens Iesus dixit confiteor tibi Pater Domine caeli et terrae quia abscondisti haec a sapientibus et prudentibus et revelasti ea parvulis
26 Yes, Father, for this is what you were pleased to do.
26
ita Pater quoniam sic fuit placitum ante te
27 “All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.
27
omnia mihi tradita sunt a Patre meo et nemo novit Filium nisi Pater neque Patrem quis novit nisi Filius et cui voluerit Filius revelare
28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
28
venite ad me omnes qui laboratis et onerati estis et ego reficiam vos
29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
29
tollite iugum meum super vos et discite a me quia mitis sum et humilis corde et invenietis requiem animabus vestris
30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
30
iugum enim meum suave est et onus meum leve est
