Matthew 8

1 When Jesus came down from the mountain, large crowds followed Him.

2 Suddenly a leper came and knelt before Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”

3 Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!” And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

4 Then Jesus instructed him, “See that you don’t tell anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the gift prescribed by Moses, as a testimony to them.”

5 When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came and pleaded with Him,

6 “Lord, my servant lies at home, paralyzed and in terrible agony.”

7 “I will go and heal him,” Jesus replied.

8 The centurion answered, “Lord, I am not worthy to have You come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

9 For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell one to go, and he goes, and another to come, and he comes. I tell my servant to do something, and he does it.”

10 When Jesus heard this, He marveled and said to those following Him, “Truly I tell you, I have not found even in Israel such great faith.

11 I say to you that many will come from the east and the west to share the banquet with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.

12 But the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

13 Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go! As you have believed, so will it be done for you.” And his servant was healed at that very hour.

14 When Jesus arrived at Peter’s house, He saw Peter’s mother-in-law sick in bed with a fever.

15 So He touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she got up and began to serve Him.

16 When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to Jesus, and He drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick.

17 This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: “He took up our infirmities and carried our diseases.”

18 When Jesus saw large crowds around Him, He gave orders to cross to the other side of the sea.

19 And one of the scribes came to Him and said, “Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go.”

20 Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head.”

21 Another of His disciples requested, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”

22 But Jesus told him, “Follow Me, and let the dead bury their own dead.”

23 When He got into the boat, His disciples followed Him.

24 Suddenly a violent storm came up on the sea, so that the boat was engulfed by the waves. But Jesus was sleeping.

25 Then the disciples went and woke Him, saying, “Lord, save us! We are perishing!”

26 “You of little faith,” Jesus replied, “why are you so afraid?” Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and it was perfectly calm.

27 The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the sea obey Him!”

28 When Jesus arrived on the other side in the region of the Gergesenes, He was met by two demon-possessed men coming from the tombs. They were so violent that no one could pass that way.

29 “What do You want with us, Jesus, Son of God?” they shouted. “Have You come here to torture us before the appointed time?”

30 In the distance a large herd of pigs was feeding.

31 So the demons begged Jesus, “If You drive us out, permit us to go off into the herd of pigs.”

32 “Go!” He told them. So they came out and went into the herd of pigs, and the whole herd of pigs rushed down the steep bank into the sea and died in the waters.

33 Those tending the pigs ran off into the town and reported all this, including the account of the demon-possessed men.

34 Then the whole town went out to meet Jesus. And when they saw Him, they begged Him to leave their region.

1 ¶ When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.

2 And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

3 And Jesus put forth [his] hand, and touched him, saying, ‹I will; be thou clean.› And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

4 And Jesus saith unto him, ‹See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.›

5 ¶ And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him,

6 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.

7 And Jesus saith unto him, ‹I will come and heal him.›

8 The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.

9 For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this [man], Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth [it].

10 When Jesus heard [it], he marvelled, and said to them that followed, ‹Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.›

11 ‹And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.›

12 ‹But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.›

13 And Jesus said unto the centurion, ‹Go thy way; and as thou hast believed,› [so] ‹be it done unto thee.› And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour.

14 ¶ And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever.

15 And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them.

16 When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with [his] word, and healed all that were sick:

17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare [our] sicknesses.

18 ¶ Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandment to depart unto the other side.

19 And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.

20 And Jesus saith unto him, ‹The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air› [have] ‹nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay› [his] ‹head.›

21 And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.

22 But Jesus said unto him, ‹Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.›

23 ¶ And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him.

24 And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.

25 And his disciples came to [him], and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish.

26 And he saith unto them, ‹Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith?› Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.

27 But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!

28 ¶ And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.

29 And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?

30 And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding.

31 So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.

32 And he said unto them, ‹Go.› And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.

33 And they that kept them fled, and went their ways into the city, and told every thing, and what was befallen to the possessed of the devils.

34 And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought [him] that he would depart out of their coasts.

1 And when he was come down from the mountain, much people followed him.

2 And, behold, a leper came and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

3 And JEsus put forth his hand, and touched him, and said: I will do it; be cleansed. And straightway he was cleansed from his leprosy.

4 And JEsus said unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift which Moses commanded, for a testimony against them.

5 And when JEsus was come into Capernaum, a centurion came unto him, beseeching him

6 And said, Lord, my servant lieth at home, and is sick of the palsy, and is in great pain.

7 And JEsus said unto him, I will come and heal him.

8 And the centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof; but speak but one word, and my servant shall be healed.

9 For I am a man, and subject unto authority, and have under me servants of war: yet if I say to one, Go, he goeth; and to another, Come, he cometh: Come hither, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.

10 When JEsus heard it, he marvelled, and said unto them that followed him: Verily I say unto you, I have not found such faith in Israel.

11 But I say unto you, That many shall come from the morning and from the evening, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.

12 But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

13 And JESUS said unto the centurion, Go thy way: as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed that very hour.

14 And JEsus came into Peter's house, and saw that his wife lay sick of the fever.

15 And he took hold of her hand, and the fever left her. And she arose, and ministered unto them.

16 And in the evening they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with words, and healed all that were diseased,

17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying, He hath taken upon him our infirmities, and he hath borne our plague.

18 And when JE saw much people about him, he commanded to pass over beyond the sea.

19 And there came unto him a scribe, and said unto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.

20 And JESUS said unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.

21 And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me that I go and bury my father first.

22 But JEsus said unto him, Follow me, and let the dead bury their dead.

23 And he entered into the ship, and his disciples followed him.

24 And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, so that the little ship also was covered with waves: and he slept.

25 And the disciples came unto him, and awaked him, and said: Lord, help us; we are perishing.

26 Then said he unto them: Ye of little faith, why are ye so fearful? And he arose, and troubled the wind and the sea; and there was silence.

27 And the people marvelled, and said: What manner of man is this, that the wind and the sea obey him?

28 And he came beyond the sea unto the country of the Gergesenes. And there met him two possessed with devils, which came out of the grave-diggers, and were very fierce; so that no man could go by that way.

29 And, behold, they cried out, saying: Ah JESUS, thou Son of GOD, what have we to do with thee? Art thou come to torment us before the time?

30 And there was far from them a great herd of swine feeding.

31 Then the devils besought him, saying: If thou wilt cast us out, let us go into the herd of swine.

32 And he said, Go your way. So they went out, and entered into the herd of swine. And, behold, all the herd of swine rushed with a tempest into the sea, and were drowned in the water.

33 And the shepherds fled, and went into the city, and told all these things, and how it had been with them that were possessed with devils.

34 And, behold, the whole city went out to meet JESUS. And when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart from their border.
