Traditional Latin Mass Gospel Readings

1- And entering into a boat, he passed over the water and came into his own city
Et ascendens in naviculam, transfretavit, et venit in civitatem suam. [Matthew 9:1]

2 And behold they brought to him one sick of the palsy lying in a bed. And Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the man sick of the palsy: Be of good heart, son, thy sins are forgiven thee.
Et ecce offerebant ei paralyticum jacentem in lecto. Et videns Jesus fidem illorum, dixit paralytico : Confide fili, remittuntur tibi peccata tua.

3 And behold some of the scribes said within themselves: He blasphemeth.
Et ecce quidam de scribis dixerunt intra se : Hic blasphemat.

4 And Jesus seeing their thoughts, said: Why do you think evil in your hearts?
Et cum vidisset Jesus cogitationes eorum, dixit : Ut quid cogitatis mala in cordibus vestris?

5 Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee: or to say, Arise, and walk?
Quid est facilius dicere : Dimittuntur tibi peccata tua : an dicere : Surge, et ambula?

6 But that you may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then said he to the man sick of palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go into thy house.
Ut autem sciatis, quia Filius hominis habet potestatem in terra dimittendi peccata, tunc ait paralytico : Surge, tolle lectum tuum, et vade in domum tuam.

7 And he arose, and went into his house.
Et surrexit, et abiit in domum suam.

8 And the multitude seeing it, feared, and glorified God that gave such power to men.
Videntes autem turbae timuerunt, et glorificaverunt Deum, qui dedit potestatem talem hominibus.
