Matthew Chapter 8

We continue our 'Reading Matthew in Lent' series today by reading Chapter Eight of St Matthew's Gospel. Jesus came down from the mountain and cleansed a leper in front of great crowds at the start of the chapter. We then learn of the faith of the centurion and hear the words we echo to this day “Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof". The chapter continues with accounts of Jesus's healing and the calming of a storm. 'Reading Matthew in Lent' is a series of simple podcasts for the Lenten season offering a daily reading from St Matthew's Gospel from Ash Wednesday to Easter Monday.
