There is good logic in placing this feast immediately after the Festival of Sts. Peter and Paul, making this a sort of extension of that day, much as All Souls'Day is an extension and expansion of All Saints' Day.
| Mt 9:1-8 | ||
|---|---|---|
| # | Douay-Rheims | Vulgate |
| 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 |
| 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 iacentem in lecto et videns Iesus 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 Iesus 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 aut 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 the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go into thy house. | ut sciatis autem quoniam 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 |
