Matthew 8

¹And when he had come down from the mountain, great numbers of people came after him.

²And a leper came and gave him worship, saying, Lord, if it is your pleasure, you have power to make me clean.

³And he put his hand on him, saying, It is my pleasure; be clean. And straight away he was made clean.

⁴And Jesus said to him, See that you say nothing about this to anyone; but go and let the priest see you and make the offering which was ordered by Moses, for a witness to them.

⁵And when Jesus was come into Capernaum, a certain captain came to him with a request,

⁶Saying, Lord, my servant is ill in bed at the house, with no power in his body, and in great pain.

⁷And he said to him, I will come and make him well.

⁸And the captain in answer said, Lord, I am not good enough for you to come under my roof; but only say the word, and my servant will be made well.

⁹Because I myself am a man under authority, having under me fighting men; and I say to this one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my servant, Do this, and he does it.

¹⁰And when these words came to the ears of Jesus he was surprised, and said to those who came after him, Truly I say to you, I have not seen such great faith, no, not in Israel.

¹¹And I say to you that numbers will come from the east and the west, and will take their seats with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven:

¹²But the sons of the kingdom will be put out into the dark, and there will be weeping and cries of pain.

¹³And Jesus said to the captain, Go in peace; as your faith is, so let it be done to you. And the servant was made well in that hour.

¹⁴And when Jesus had come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother in bed, very ill.

¹⁵And he put his hand on hers and the disease went from her, and she got up and took care of his needs.

¹⁶And in the evening, they took to him a number of people who had evil spirits; and he sent the spirits out of them with a word, and made well all who were ill;

¹⁷So that the word of Isaiah the prophet might come true: He himself took our pains and our diseases.

¹⁸Now when Jesus saw a great mass of people about him, he gave an order to go to the other side.

¹⁹And there came a scribe and said to him, Master, I will come after you wherever you go.

²⁰And Jesus said to him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of heaven have a resting-place; but the Son of man has nowhere to put his head.

²¹And another of the disciples said to him, Lord, let me first go and give the last honours to my father.

²²But Jesus said to him, Come after me; and let the dead take care of their dead.

²³And when he had got into a boat, his disciples went after him.

²⁴And there came up a great storm in the sea, so that the boat was covered with the waves: but he was sleeping.

²⁵And they came to him, and, awaking him, said, Help, Lord; destruction is near.

²⁶And he said to them, Why are you full of fear, O you of little faith? Then he got up and gave orders to the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.

²⁷And the men were full of wonder, saying, What sort of man is this, that even the winds and the sea do his orders?

²⁸And when he had come to the other side, to the country of the Gadarenes, there came out to him from the place of the dead, two who had evil spirits, so violent that no man was able to go that way.

²⁹And they gave a loud cry, saying, What have we to do with you, you Son of God? Have you come here to give us punishment before the time?

³⁰Now there was, some distance away, a great herd of pigs taking their food.

³¹And the evil spirits made strong prayers to him, saying, If you send us out, let us go into the herd of pigs.

³²And he said to them, Go. And they came out, and went into the pigs; and the herd went rushing down a sharp slope into the sea and came to their end in the water.

³³And their keepers went in flight to the town and gave an account of everything, and of the men who had the evil spirits.

³⁴And all the town came out to Jesus; and seeing him they made request that he would go away from their part of the country.

Matthew 8

¹And when he came down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.

²And behold, a leper came to him and worshiped him, saying, "Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean."

³And he stretched out his hand, and touched him, saying, "I want to. Be made clean." And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

⁴And Jesus said to him, "See that you tell nobody, but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them."

⁵And when he came into Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking him,

⁶and saying, "Lord, my servant lies in the house paralyzed, grievously tormented."

⁷And he said to him, "I will come and heal him."

⁸And the centurion answered, "Lord, I'm not worthy for you to come under my roof. Just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

⁹For I am also a man under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, 'Go,' and he goes; and tell another, 'Come,' and he comes; and tell my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it."

¹⁰And when Jesus heard it, he marveled, and said to those who followed, "Truly I tell you, I have not found so great a faith with anyone in Israel.

¹¹And I tell you that many will come from the east and the west, and will sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob in the Kingdom of Heaven,

¹²but the sons of the Kingdom will be thrown out into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."

¹³And Jesus said to the centurion, "Go your way. Let it be done for you as you have believed." And his servant was healed in that hour.

¹⁴And when Jesus came into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother lying sick with a fever.

¹⁵So he touched her hand, and the fever left her. She got up and served him.

¹⁶And when evening came, they brought to him many possessed with demons. He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick;

¹⁷that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying: "He took our infirmities, and bore our diseases."

¹⁸Now when Jesus saw a crowd around him, he gave the order to depart to the other side.

¹⁹Then a scribe came, and said to him, "Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go."

²⁰And Jesus said to him, "The foxes have holes, and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head."

²¹And another of the disciples said to him, "Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father."

²²But Jesus said to him, "Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead."

²³And when he got into a boat, his disciples followed him.

²⁴And behold, a violent storm came up on the sea, so much that the boat was covered with the waves, but he was asleep.

²⁵They came to him, and woke him up, saying, "Save us, Lord! We are dying!"

²⁶And he said to them, "Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?" Then he got up, rebuked the wind and the sea, and there was a great calm.

²⁷And the men marveled, saying, "What kind of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?"

²⁸And when he came to the other side, into the country of the Gadarenes, two people possessed by demons met him there, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that nobody could pass that way.

²⁹And behold, they shouted, saying, "What do we have to do with you, Jesus, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?"

³⁰Now there was a herd of many pigs feeding far away from them.

³¹And the demons begged him, saying, "If you cast us out, permit us to go away into the herd of pigs."

³²And he said to them, "Go!" And they came out, and went into the herd of pigs: and behold, the whole herd of pigs rushed down the cliff into the sea, and died in the water.

³³And those who fed them fled, and went away into the city, and told everything, including what happened to those who were possessed with demons.

³⁴And behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus. When they saw him, they begged that he would depart from their borders.
