Jesus Heals a Man With a Skin Disease
1Jesus came down from the mountainside, and large crowds followed him. 2A man who had a skin disease came and knelt down in front of Jesus. “Lord,” he said, “if you’re willing, you can make me clean.”
3Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. “I’m willing,” he said, “be clean!” Right away the man was healed of his skin disease. 4Then Jesus said to him, “Don’t tell anyone about this. But go and show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a witness to everyone.”
A Roman Commander Has Faith
5When Jesus entered Capernaum, a Roman commander came and asked him for help. 6“Lord,” he said, “my servant can’t get out of bed. He isn’t able to move, and he’s suffering terribly.”
7Jesus asked, “Do you want me to come and heal him?”
8The commander replied, “Lord, I don’t deserve to have you come into my house. Just give the command, and my servant will be healed. 9I know that orders from people in authority have to be obeyed. I have soldiers who obey my own orders. I tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes. I tell that one, ‘Come,’ and he comes. I say to my slave, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
10When Jesus heard this, he was amazed. He said to the people following him, “Truly I tell you, I haven’t met anyone in Israel whose faith is this great. 11I tell you that many will come from the east and the west and take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. 12But the children of the kingdom will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where they will weep and grind their teeth.”
13Then Jesus said to the Roman commander, “Go! It will be done for you just as you have believed it would.” And his servant was healed at that moment.
Jesus Heals Many People
14When Jesus came into Peter’s house, he found Peter’s mother-in-law lying in bed with a fever. 15Jesus touched her hand and the fever left her, and she got up and began to serve him.
16When evening came, many people controlled by demons were brought to Jesus. He drove out the spirits with a word and healed all who were sick. 17This happened to make the words of Isaiah the prophet come true. He had said,
“He took away our weakness
and carried off our sickness.”
The Cost of Following Jesus
18When Jesus saw the crowd around him, he told his disciples to get ready to cross to the other side of the Sea of Galilee. 19Then a teacher of the law came to him and said, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.”
20Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”
21Another disciple said to him, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”
22But Jesus told him, “Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead.”
Jesus Calms a Storm
23Then Jesus got into the boat and his disciples followed him. As they were sailing across the lake, 24suddenly a terrible storm began. The wind was so strong that waves came crashing over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. 25The disciples went and woke him up. They cried out, “Lord! Save us! We’re going to drown!”
26He replied, “You have such little faith! Why are you so afraid?” Then Jesus got up and ordered the winds and the waves to stop, and it became completely calm.
27The disciples were amazed. They asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!”
Jesus Heals Two Men Controlled by Demons
28They went across the Sea of Galilee to the area of the Gadarenes. When Jesus got out of the boat, two men controlled by demons came out of the tombs to meet him. These men were so dangerous that no one could go near them. 29“What do you want with us, Son of God?” they shouted. “It’s not time for us to be punished yet!”
30Off in the distance a large herd of pigs was feeding. 31The demons begged Jesus, “If you drive us out, send us into that herd of pigs.”
32Jesus told them, “Go!” So they came out and went into the pigs. The whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and drowned in the water. 33Those who were tending the pigs ran into town and reported everything, including what had happened to the men who’d been controlled by the demons. 34Then the whole town went out to meet Jesus, and when they saw him, they begged him to leave.

Matthew 8

1It came to pass when Yeshua [God is Salvation] came down from the mountain that a great crowd followed him.
2Then behold a leper came and did homage to him saying: ‘Adon [Lord - Kurios of the Earth], is it your wish to heal me’?
3Yeshua [God is Salvation] stretched forth his hand and touched him saying: “I wish that you be cleansed” and in that hour the leper was cleansed from his leprosy.
4Then Yeshua [God is Salvation] said to him: “Be careful lest you tell any man, but go to the priest to offer your gifts as Moshe [drawn out] commanded in your law”.
5It came to pass when he entered K’far-Nachum [town of comfort] that a captain of hundreds came to him and implored him,
6saying: ‘Adon [Lord - Kurios of the Earth], my son lies in my house with the sickness of contraction and he is weak with the illness’.
7Yeshua [God is Salvation] said to him: “I will go and heal him”
8The captain of hundreds answered and said to him: ‘Adon [Lord - Kurios of the Earth] I am not worthy that you should come under my roof; only make the decision that he might be healed’.
9‘I am a sinful man and I have authority under the P’rushim (Pharisees) [separatists] and I have horses and riders and I say to one of them go and he goes, come and he comes, and to my servants do this and they do it’.
10Yeshua [God is Salvation] heard and was amazed and said to those who were following him: “Truly I say to you, I have not found a great faith, in Y’sra’el [he who holds onto the heal of God], like this”.
11“I say to you that many will come from the East and from the West and will rest with Avraham [Exalted Father], Yitz’chak [Laughter] and Ya’akov [He who grabs onto the heal of] in the Kingdom of heaven”:
12“but the sons of the Kingdom will be cast into the darkness of Gei-Hinnom [hell, valley of evil counsel]; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth”.
13Then Yeshua [God is Salvation] said to the captain of hundreds: “Go; as you have believed; it will be done to you”. So the little child was healed at that time.
14At that time, Yeshua [God is Salvation] went into the house of Kefa [pebble] and behold his mother-in-law was lying sick with a fever.
15He touched her hand, and the fever left her. Then she arose and ministered to him.
16At the time of evening they brought to him those seized by demons and he healed them by his word alone and he healed every sickness,
17to fulfill what was said by Yesha’yahu [the salvation of our God] the prophet, of Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) memory: “Surely our diseases he bore and our pains he carried”
18It came to pass after this Yeshua [God is Salvation] saw many crowds around him and he commanded his disciples to go across the sea.
19Then a scribe came to him and said to him: ‘Teacher I will follow you wherever you go’
20Yeshua [God is Salvation] answered him: “The foxes have holes and the birds have nests, but the Son of Man, the Son of the virgin, has no place to enter his head”.
21One of his disciples said to him: ‘Allow me to go and bury my father’
22Yeshua [God is Salvation] said to him: “Follow me and let the dead bury their dead”.
23It came to pass when Yeshua [God is Salvation] entered a boat, his disciples followed him.
24A great storm came on the sea, and the waves were coming on excessively, and the boat was thought to be breaking up.
25His disciples came to him and begged him saying: ‘O our Adon [Lord - Kurios of the earth] save us lest we perish’.
26He said to them: “Why do you look at one another, O you of little faith?”. He arose and commanded the sea and the winds that they should be quiet and immediately they became quiet.
27When the men who were there saw, they marveled and said: ‘Who is this that the winds and the sea do his will’?
28It came to pass when he crossed over the sea and passed by the region beyond the sea into the realm of Gaderi [those who come from pilgrimage or fight], there met him two demon-possessed men coming out of the tombs, raging, so that no man could pass by that way.
29They cried out to him saying: ‘What is between you and us, Yeshua [God is Salvation] Son of Elohim (The Many Powered) [The Living Word of God]?. Have you come before the time to grieve us and to destroy us? Yeshua [God is Salvation] said to them: “Come out from there, evil host”
30There, near them, were herds of many swine, feeding.
31So the demons entreated him: ‘Since we have to go out from here, grant us authority to go into these swine.
32He said to them: “Go”. The demons went out from the men and entered the swine, and all the herd went in sudden haste, slipped off into the sea and died in the water.
33Those who were feeding [the swine] feared, fled, and told everything in the city. So the whole city was frightened.
34They went out to meet Yeshua [God is Salvation]. They saw [the swine] and entreated him not to come across their border.
