The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 47: Matthew: The Challoner Revision
Bible. Matthew
11:23. And thou Capharnaum, shalt thou be exalted up to heaven? thou
shalt go down even unto hell. For if in Sodom had been wrought the
miracles that have been wrought in thee, perhaps it had remained unto
this day.
11:24. But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable for the land
of Sodom in the day of judgment than for thee.
11:25. At that time Jesus answered and said: I confess to thee, O
Father, Lord of Heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things
from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to little ones.
11:26. Yea, Father: for so hath it seemed good in thy sight.
11:27. All things are delivered to me by my Father. And no one knoweth
the Son but the Father: neither doth any one know the Father, but the
Son, and he to whom it shall please the Son to reveal him.
11:28. Come to me all you that labor and are burdened, and I will
refresh you.
11:29. Take up my yoke upon you, and learn of me, because I am meek, and
humble of heart: And you shall find rest to your souls.
11:30. For my yoke is sweet and my burden light.
Matthew Chapter 12
Christ reproves the blindness of the Pharisees, and confutes their
attributing his miracles to Satan.
12:1. At that time Jesus went through the corn on the sabbath: and his
disciples being hungry, began to pluck the ears, and to eat.
12:2. And the Pharisees seeing them, said to him: Behold thy disciples
do that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days.
12:3. But he said to them: Have you not read what David did when he was
hungry, and they that were with him:
12:4. How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the loaves of
proposition, which it was not lawful for him to eat, nor for them that
were with him, but for the priests only?
The loaves of proposition... So were called the twelve loaves which were
placed before the sanctuary in the temple of God.
12:5. Or have ye not read in the law, that on the sabbath days the
priests in the temple break the sabbath, and are without blame?
12:6. But I tell you that there is here a greater than the temple.
12:7. And if you knew what this meaneth: I will have mercy, and not
sacrifice: you would never have condemned the innocent.
12:8. For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath.
12:9. And when he had passed from thence, he came into their synagogues.
12:10. And behold there was a man who had a withered hand, and they
asked him, saying: Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they
might accuse him.
12:11. But he said to them: What man shall there be among you, that hath
one sheep: and if the same fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he
not take hold on it and lift it up?
12:12. How much better is a man than a sheep? Therefore it is lawful to
do a good deed on the sabbath days.
12:13. Then he saith to the man: Stretch forth thy hand; and he
stretched it forth, and it was restored to health even as the other.
12:14. And the Pharisees going out made a consultation against him, how
they might destroy him.
