Matthew 8
8
1And when he came down from the mount, great multitudes did follow him,
2and lo, a leper having come, was bowing to him, saying, ‘Sir, if thou art willing, thou art able to cleanse me;’
3and having stretched forth the hand, Jesus touched him, saying, ‘I will, be thou cleansed,’ and immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
4And Jesus saith to him, ‘See, thou mayest tell no one, but go, thyself shew to the priest, and bring the gift that Moses commanded for a testimony to them.’
5And Jesus having entered into Capernaum, there came to him a centurion calling upon him,
6and saying, ‘Sir, my young man hath been laid in the house a paralytic, fearfully afflicted,’
7and Jesus saith to him, ‘I, having come, will heal him.’
8And the centurion answering said, ‘Sir, I am not worthy that thou mayest enter under my roof, but only say a word, and my servant shall be healed;
9for I also am a man under authority, having under myself soldiers, and I say to this one, Go, and he goeth, and to another, Be coming, and he cometh, and to my servant, Do this, and he doth [it].’
10And Jesus having heard, did wonder, and said to those following, ‘Verily I say to you, not even in Israel so great faith have I found;
11and I say to you, that many from east and west shall come and recline (at meat) with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the reign of the heavens,
12but the sons of the reign shall be cast forth to the outer darkness — there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.’
13And Jesus said to the centurion, ‘Go, and as thou didst believe let it be to thee;’ and his young man was healed in that hour.
14And Jesus having come into the house of Peter, saw his mother-in-law laid, and fevered,
15and he touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she arose, and was ministering to them.
16And evening having come, they brought to him many demoniacs, and he did cast out the spirits with a word, and did heal all who were ill,
17that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying, ‘Himself took our infirmities, and the sicknesses he did bear.’
18And Jesus having seen great multitudes about him, did command to depart to the other side;
19and a certain scribe having come, said to him, ‘Teacher, I will follow thee wherever thou mayest go;’
20and Jesus saith to him, ‘The foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven places of rest, but the Son of Man hath not where he may lay the head.’
21And another of his disciples said to him, ‘Sir, permit me first to depart and to bury my father;’
22and Jesus said to him, ‘Follow me, and suffer the dead to bury their own dead.’
23And when he entered into the boat his disciples did follow him,
24and lo, a great tempest arose in the sea, so that the boat was being covered by the waves, but he was sleeping,
25and his disciples having come to him, awoke him, saying, ‘Sir, save us; we are perishing.’
26And he saith to them, ‘Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith?’ Then having risen, he rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm;
27and the men wondered, saying, ‘What kind — is this, that even the wind and the sea do obey him?’
28And he having come to the other side, to the region of the Gergesenes, there met him two demoniacs, coming forth out of the tombs, very fierce, so that no one was able to pass over by that way,
29and lo, they cried out, saying, ‘What — to us and to thee, Jesus, Son of God? didst thou come hither, before the time, to afflict us?’
30And there was far off from them a herd of many swine feeding,
31and the demons were calling on him, saying, ‘If thou dost cast us forth, permit us to go away to the herd of the swine;’
32and he saith to them, ‘Go.’ And having come forth, they went to the herd of the swine, and lo, the whole herd of the swine rushed down the steep, to the sea, and died in the waters,
33and those feeding did flee, and, having gone to the city, they declared all, and the matter of the demoniacs.
34And lo, all the city came forth to meet Jesus, and having seen him, they called on [him] that he might depart from their borders.

1When he came down from the mountain, great crowds followed him; 2#Mk 1.40-44; Lk 5.12-14. #Mt 9.18; 15.25; 18.26; 20.20; Jn 9.38. and behold, a leper came to him and knelt before him, saying, “Lord, if you will, you can make me clean.” 3And he stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I will; be clean.” And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. 4#Mk 3.12; 5.43; 7.36; 8.30; 9.9; Lev 14.2. And Jesus said to him, “See that you say nothing to any one; but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a proof to the people.”#8.4 Greek to them

Lk 7.1-10; Jn 4.46-53. As he entered Caperna-um, a centurion came forward to him, beseeching him 6and saying, “Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, in terrible distress.” 7And he said to him, “I will come and heal him.” 8But the centurion answered him, “Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof; but only say the word, and my servant will be healed. 9For I am a man under authority, with soldiers under me; and I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes, and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes, and to my slave, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.” 10When Jesus heard him, he marveled, and said to those who followed him, “Truly, I say to you, not even#8.10 Other ancient authorities read with no one in Israel have I found such faith. 11#Lk 13.28-29; Is 49.12; 59.19; Mal 1.11; Ps 107.3. I tell you, many will come from east and west and sit at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven, 12#Mt 13.42,50; 22.13; 24.51; 25.30; Lk 13.28. while the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness; there men will weep and gnash their teeth.” 13And to the centurion Jesus said, “Go; be it done for you as you have believed.” And the servant was healed at that very moment.

Mk 1.29-34; Lk 4.38-41; Mt 4.23-24. And when Jesus entered Peter's house, he saw his mother-in-law lying sick with a fever; 15he touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she rose and served him. 16That evening they brought to him many who were possessed with demons; and he cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick. 17#Is 53.4. This was to fulfil what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah, “He took our infirmities and bore our diseases.”

Lk 9.57-60; Mk 4.35; Lk 8.22. Now when Jesus saw great crowds around him, he gave orders to go over to the other side. 19And a scribe came up and said to him, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.” 20And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man has nowhere to lay his head.” 21Another of the disciples said to him, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.” 22#Mt 9.9; Jn 1.43; 21.19. But Jesus said to him, “Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead.”

Mk 4.36-41; Lk 8.22-25. And when he got into the boat, his disciples followed him. 24And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but he was asleep. 25And they went and woke him, saying, “Save, Lord; we are perishing.” 26#Mt 6.30; 14.31; 16.8. And he said to them, “Why are you afraid, O men of little faith?” Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. 27And the men marveled, saying, “What sort of man is this, that even winds and sea obey him?”

Mk 5.1-17; Lk 8.26-37. And when he came to the other side, to the country of the Gadarenes,#8.28 Other ancient authorities read Gergesenes; some, Gerasenes two demoniacs met him, coming out of the tombs, so fierce that no one could pass that way. 29#Judg 11.12; 2 Sam 16.10; Mk 1.24; Jn 2.4. And behold, they cried out, “What have you to do with us, O Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?” 30Now a herd of many swine was feeding at some distance from them. 31And the demons begged him, “If you cast us out, send us away into the herd of swine.” 32And he said to them, “Go.” So they came out and went into the swine; and behold, the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea, and perished in the waters. 33The herdsmen fled, and going into the city they told everything, and what had happened to the demoniacs. 34And behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus; and when they saw him, they begged him to leave their neighborhood.
