1 And when He had come down from the mountain,
great multitudes followed Him. 2 And behold, a leper
came to Him, and bowed F1
down to Him, saying, "Lord, if You are willing, You can make me
clean." 3 And He stretched out His hand and
touched him, saying, "I am willing; be cleansed." And
immediately his leprosy was cleansed. 4 And Jesus
said to him, "See that you tell no one; but go, show yourself to
the priest, and present the offering F2
that Moses commanded, for a testimony to them."
5 And when He had entered Capernaum, a centurion
came to Him, entreating Him, 6 and saying,
"Lord, my servant F3
is lying F4
paralyzed at home, suffering F5
great pain." 7 And He said to him,
"I will
come and heal him." 8 But the centurion answered
and said, "Lord, I am not worthy for You to come under my roof, but
just say the word, and my servant F6
will be healed. 9 "For I, too, am a man under
authority, with soldiers under me; and I say to this one, 'Go!' and he
goes, and to another, 'Come!' and he comes, and to my slave, 'Do this!'
and he does it." 10 Now when Jesus heard this,
He marveled, and said to those who were following, "Truly I say to
you, I have not found such great faith with F7
anyone in Israel. 11 "And I say to you, that
many shall come from east and west, and recline F8
at the table with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of
heaven; 12 but the sons of the kingdom shall be cast
out into the outer darkness; in that place there shall be weeping and
gnashing of teeth." 13 And Jesus said to the
centurion, "Go your way; let it be done to you as you have
believed." And the servant F9
was healed that very hour.
14 And when Jesus had come to Peter's home,
F10
He saw his mother-in-law lying sick in bed with a fever. 15 And
He touched her hand, and the fever left her; and she arose, and waited F11
on Him. 16 And when evening had come, they brought to
Him many who were demon-possessed; and He cast out the spirits with a
word, and healed all who were ill 17 in order that
what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, saying,
"He Himself took our infirmities, and CARRIED F12
AWAY OUR DISEASES."
18 Now when Jesus saw a crowd around Him, He gave
orders to depart to the other side. 19 And a certain
scribe came and said to Him, "Teacher, I will follow You wherever
You go." 20 And Jesus said to him,
"The
foxes have holes, and the birds of the air F13
have nests; F14
but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head." 21 And
another of the disciples said to Him, "Lord, permit me first to go
and bury my father." 22 But Jesus said to him,
"Follow Me; and allow the dead to bury their own dead."
23 And when He got into the boat, His disciples
followed Him. 24 And behold, there arose a
F15
great storm in the sea, so that the boat was covered with the waves; but
He Himself was asleep. 25 And they came to Him, and
awoke Him, saying, "Save us, Lord; we are perishing!" 26 And
He said to them, "Why are you timid, you men of little faith?"
Then He arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and it F16
became perfectly calm. 27 And the men marveled,
saying, "What kind of a man is this, that even the winds and the
sea obey Him?"
28 And when He had come to the other side into the
country of the Gadarenes, two men who were demon-possessed met Him as
they were coming out of the tombs; they were so exceedingly violent that
no one could pass by that road. 29 And behold, they
cried out, saying, "What do we have to do with You, Son of God?
Have You come here to torment us before the F17
time?" 30 Now there was at a distance from them
a herd of many swine feeding. 31 And the demons began
to entreat Him, saying, "If You are going to cast us out, send us
into the herd of swine." 32 And He said to them,
"Begone!" And 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. 33 And the herdsmen ran away,
and went to the city, and reported everything, including F18
the incident of the demoniacs. 34 And behold, the
whole city came out to meet Jesus; and when they saw Him, they entreated
Him to depart from their region.
