Matthew 8

Jesus Heals a Man

(Mark 1.40-45; Luke 5.12-16)

1As Jesus came down the mountain, he was followed by large crowds. 2Suddenly a man with leprosy#8.2 leprosy: In biblical times the word “leprosy” was used for many different kinds of skin diseases. came and knelt in front of Jesus. He said, “Lord, you have the power to make me well, if only you wanted to.”

3Jesus put his hand on the man and said, “I want to! Now you are well.” At once the man's leprosy disappeared. 4#Lv 14.1-32. Jesus told him, “Don't tell anyone about this, but go and show the priest that you are well. Then take a gift to the temple just as Moses commanded, and everyone will know that you have been healed.”#8.4 everyone will know that you have been healed: People with leprosy had to be examined by a priest and told that they were well (that is “clean”) before they could once again live a normal life in the Jewish community. The gift that Moses commanded was the sacrifice of some lambs together with flour mixed with olive oil.

Jesus Heals an Army Officer's Servant

(Luke 7.1-10; John 4.43-54)

5When Jesus was going into the town of Capernaum, an army officer came up to him and said, 6“Lord, my servant is at home in such terrible pain that he can't even move.”

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

8But the officer said, “Lord, I'm not good enough for you to come into my house. Just give the order, and my servant will get well. 9#Ba 3.33-35. I have officers who give orders to me, and I have soldiers who take orders from me. I can say to one of them, ‘Go!’ and he goes. I can say to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes. I can say to my servant, ‘Do this!’ and he will do it.”

10When Jesus heard this, he was so surprised that he turned and said to the crowd following him, “I tell you in all of Israel I've never found anyone with this much faith! 11#Lk 13.29. Many people will come from everywhere to enjoy the feast in the kingdom of heaven with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. 12#Mt 22.13; 25.30; Lk 13.28. But the ones who should have been in the kingdom will be thrown out into the dark. They will cry and grit their teeth in pain.”

13Then Jesus said to the officer, “You may go home now. Your faith has made it happen.”

Right then his servant was healed.

Jesus Heals Many People

(Mark 1.29-34; Luke 4.38-41)

14Jesus went to the home of Peter, where he found that Peter's mother-in-law was sick in bed with fever. 15He took her by the hand, and the fever left her. Then she got up and served Jesus a meal.

16That evening many people with demons in them were brought to Jesus. And with only a word he forced out the evil spirits and healed everyone who was sick. 17#Is 53.5. So God's promise came true, just as the prophet Isaiah had said,

“He healed our diseases

and made us well.”

Some Who Wanted To Go with Jesus

(Luke 9.57-62)

18When Jesus saw the crowd,#8.18 saw the crowd: Some manuscripts have “large crowd.” Others have “large crowds.” he went across Lake Galilee. 19A teacher of the Law of Moses came up to him and said, “Teacher, I'll go anywhere with you!”

20Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens, and birds have nests. But the Son of Man doesn't have a place to call his own.”

21 # Tb 4.3,4. Another disciple said to Jesus, “Lord, let me wait till I bury my father.”

22Jesus answered, “Follow me, and let the dead bury their dead.”#8.22 let the dead bury their dead: For the Jewish people a proper burial of their dead was a very important duty. But Jesus teaches that following him is even more important.

A Storm

(Mark 4.35-41; Luke 8.22-25)

23After Jesus left in a boat with his disciples, 24a terrible storm suddenly struck the lake, and waves started splashing into their boat.

Jesus was sound asleep, 25so the disciples went over to him and woke him up. They said, “Lord, wake up! Save us before we drown!”

26But Jesus replied, “Why are you so afraid? You surely don't have much faith.” Then he got up and ordered the wind and the waves to calm down. And everything was calm.

27The men in the boat were amazed and said, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him.”

Two Men with Demons in Them

(Mark 5.1-20; Luke 8.26-39)

28After Jesus had crossed the lake, he came to shore near the town of Gadara#8.28 Gadara: Some manuscripts have “Gergesa.” Others have “Gerasa.” and started down the road. Two men with demons in them came to him from the tombs.#8.28 tombs: It was thought that demons and evil spirits lived in tombs and in caves that were used for burying the dead. They were so fierce that no one could travel that way. 29Suddenly they shouted, “Jesus, Son of God, what do you want with us? Have you come to punish us before our time?”

30Not far from there a large herd of pigs was feeding. 31So the demons begged Jesus, “If you force us out, please send us into those pigs!” 32Jesus told them to go, and they went out of the men and into the pigs. All at once the pigs rushed down the steep bank into the lake and drowned.

33The people taking care of the pigs ran to the town and told everything, especially what had happened to the two men. 34Everyone in town came out to meet Jesus. When they saw him, they begged him to leave their part of the country.

Mateo 8

Pinagaling ni Jesus ang Isang Ketongin

(Mc. 1:40-45; Lu. 5:12-16)

1Pagbaba ni Jesus mula sa bundok, sinundan siya ng napakaraming tao. 2Lumapit sa kanya ang isang taong may ketong,#8:2 KETONG: Sa panahong iyon, ito ay tumutukoy sa iba't ibang uri ng sakit sa balat. lumuhod sa harapan niya, at sinabi, “Panginoon, kung nais po ninyo, ako'y inyong mapapagaling at magagawang malinis.” 3Hinawakan siya ni Jesus at sinabi, “Oo, nais ko. Maging malinis ka.” Gumaling at luminis nga agad ang ketongin. 4Pagkatapos,#Lev. 14:1-32. sinabi sa kanya ni Jesus, “Huwag mong sasabihin ito kaninuman. Sa halip, pumunta ka at magpasuri sa pari. Pagkatapos, mag-alay ka ng handog na iniuutos ni Moises bilang patunay sa mga tao na ikaw nga'y magaling at malinis na.”

Ang Pagpapagaling sa Katulong ng Kapitang Romano

(Lu. 7:1-10)

5Pagpasok ni Jesus sa Capernaum, lumapit sa kanya ang isang opisyal ng hukbong Romano at nakiusap, 6“Ginoo, ang aking katulong ay naparalisado. Siya po'y nakaratay sa bahay at lubhang nahihirapan.” 7Sinabi ni Jesus, “Pupuntahan ko siya at pagagalingin.” 8Ngunit sumagot sa kanya ang opisyal, “Ginoo, hindi po ako karapat-dapat na puntahan pa ninyo sa aking bahay. Sabihin lamang po ninyo at gagaling na ang aking katulong. 9Ako'y#Bar. 3:33-35. nasa ilalim ng mga nakakataas na pinuno at may nasasakupan ding mga kawal. Kapag inutusan ko ang isa, ‘Pumunta ka roon!’ siya'y pumupunta; at ang isa naman, ‘Halika!’ siya'y lumalapit. Kapag sinabi ko sa aking alipin, ‘Gawin mo ito!’ ginagawa nga niya iyon.” 10Namangha si Jesus nang marinig ito at sinabi niya sa mga taong sumusunod sa kanya, “Tandaan ninyo: hindi pa ako nakakita ng ganito kalaking pananampalataya sa buong Israel. 11Tandaan#Lu. 13:29. ninyo: marami ang darating buhat sa silangan at sa kanluran at dudulog sa hapag na kasalo nina Abraham, Isaac at Jacob sa kaharian ng langit. 12Ngunit#Mt. 22:13; 25:30; Lu. 13:28. ang mga taong dapat sana'y kasama sa kaharian ay itatapon sa kadiliman; mananangis sila doon at magngangalit ang kanilang mga ngipin.” 13At sinabi ni Jesus sa opisyal, “Umuwi ka na; mangyayari ang hinihiling mo ayon sa iyong pananampalataya.” Sa oras ding iyon ay gumaling ang katulong ng kapitan.

Maraming Pinagaling si Jesus

(Mc. 1:29-34; Lu. 4:38-41)

14Pumunta si Jesus sa bahay ni Pedro at nakita niya roon ang biyenan nito na nakaratay at nilalagnat. 15Hinawakan ni Jesus ang kamay ng babae at nawala ang lagnat nito. Bumangon ang babae at naglingkod kay Jesus.

16Nang gabing iyon, dinala kay Jesus ang maraming sinasapian ng mga demonyo. Sa isang salita lamang ay pinalayas niya ang masasamang espiritu at pinagaling ang lahat ng may karamdaman. 17Sa#Isa. 53:4. gayon, natupad ang sinabi ni Propeta Isaias,

“Inalis niya ang ating mga kahinaan,

pinagaling ang ating mga karamdaman.”

Ang Paglilingkod kay Jesus

(Lu. 9:57-62)

18Nang makita ni Jesus ang mga tao#8:18 ang mga tao: Sa ibang manuskrito'y ang napakaraming tao. sa kanyang paligid, iniutos niya sa mga alagad na maghandang tumawid sa kabilang ibayo. 19Lumapit sa kanya ang isang tagapagturo ng Kautusan at sinabi, “Guro, sasama po ako sa inyo saanman kayo pupunta.” 20Ngunit sumagot si Jesus, “May mga lungga ang mga asong-gubat at may mga pugad ang mga ibon, ngunit wala man lamang matulugan o mapagpahingahan ang Anak ng Tao.” 21Isa#Tob. 4:3-4. naman sa mga alagad#8:21 sa mga alagad: Sa ibang manuskrito'y sa kanyang mga alagad. ay nagsabi sa kanya, “Panginoon, maaari po bang umuwi muna ako upang ipalibing ko ang aking ama?” 22Ngunit sinabi sa kanya ni Jesus, “Sumunod ka sa akin at ipaubaya mo sa mga patay ang paglilibing ng kanilang mga patay.”

Pinatigil ni Jesus ang Bagyo sa Lawa

(Mc. 4:35-41; Lu. 8:22-25)

23Sumakay si Jesus sa bangka, kasama ng kanyang mga alagad. 24Habang sila'y naglalayag sa lawa, si Jesus ay natutulog. Biglang bumugso ang isang malakas na unos at halos matabunan ng mga alon ang bangka. 25Kaya nilapitan ng mga alagad si Jesus at ginising. “Panginoon, iligtas ninyo kami! Mamamatay kami!” sabi nila. 26Ngunit sinabi niya sa kanila, “Bakit kayo natatakot? Napakaliit naman ng inyong pananampalataya!” Bumangon siya, pinatigil ang hangin at ang mga alon, at bumuti ang panahon. 27Namangha silang lahat at sinabi, “Ano kayang uri ng tao ito? Maging ang hangin at ang lawa ay sumusunod sa kanya!”

Mga Gadarenong Pinalaya sa Pang-aalipin ng mga Demonyo

(Mc. 5:1-20; Lu. 8:26-39)

28Nang dumating si Jesus sa kabilang ibayo, sa lupain ng mga Gadareno,#8:28 Gadareno: Sa ibang manuskrito'y Geraseno, at sa iba pa'y Gergeseno. sinalubong siya ng dalawang lalaking sinasapian ng mga demonyo. Sila ay nakatira sa libingan. Napakababangis nila kaya't walang sinuman ang dumaraan doon. 29Biglang nagsisigaw ang dalawang lalaki, “Ano ang pakialam mo sa amin, Anak ng Diyos? Naparito ka ba upang pahirapan kami kahit hindi pa panahon?” 30Sa di-kalayuan ay may malaking kawan ng mga baboy na nagsisikain. 31Nakiusap sa kanya ang mga demonyo, “Kung palalayasin mo kami, papasukin mo kami sa mga baboy na iyon.” 32Sinabi ni Jesus, “Sige, lumayas kayo.” Lumabas nga sila sa dalawang lalaki at pumasok sa mga baboy. Ang buong kawan ay biglang tumakbo papunta sa bangin, nahulog sa lawa at nalunod.

33Nagtakbuhan papuntang bayan ang mga tagapag-alaga ng mga baboy. Pagdating doon, ipinamalita nila ang buong pangyayari, pati ang naganap sa mga lalaking sinapian ng mga demonyo. 34Kaya't lumabas ang buong bayan upang salubungin si Jesus. Pagkakita sa kanya, ipinakiusap nilang lisanin niya ang kanilang lupain.
