2 Suddenly a leper came and knelt before Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”
And behold, a leper who came, worshiped him, saying, Lord, if thou will, thou can cleanse me.
3 Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!” And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
And having reached out his hand, Jesus touched him, saying, I will, be thou cleansed. And straightaway his leprosy was cleansed.
4 Then Jesus instructed him, “See that you don’t tell anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the gift prescribed by Moses, as a testimony to them.”
And Jesus says to him, See thou speak to no man, but go, show thyself to the priest, and bring the gift that Moses commanded for a testimony to them.

and saying, Lord, my boy has been laid down in the house, paralyzed, extremely tormented.
7 “I will go and heal him,” Jesus replied.
And Jesus says to him, after coming I will heal him.
8 The centurion answered, “Lord, I am not worthy to have You come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.
And having answered, the centurion said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou should come under my roof, but only speak the word, and my boy will be healed.
9 For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell one to go, and he goes; and another to come, and he comes. I tell my servant to do something, and he does it.”
For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under myself. And I say to this man, Go, and he goes, and to another, Come, and he comes, and to my bondman, Do this, and he does it.
10 When Jesus heard this, He marveled and said to those following Him, “Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith.
And when Jesus heard it, he marveled, and said to those who followed, Truly I say to you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith.

12 But the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
but the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into the outer darkness. There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
13 Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go! As you have believed, so will it be done for you.” And his servant was healed at that very hour.
And Jesus said to the centurion, Go thou. And as thou have believed, be it done to thee. And his boy was healed in that hour.

But Jesus said to him, Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead.
23 When He got into the boat, His disciples followed Him.

25 The disciples went and woke Him, saying, “Lord, save us! We are perishing!”

26 “You of little faith,” Jesus replied, “why are you so afraid?” Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and it was perfectly calm.
And he says to them, Why are ye cowardly, O ye of little faith? Then after rising, he rebuked the winds and the sea, and there became a great calm.
27 The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the sea obey Him!”
But the men marveled, saying, What kind of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him?

29 “What do You want with us, Son of God?” they shouted. “Have You come here to torture us before the appointed time?”

30 In the distance a large herd of pigs was feeding.
Now there was afar off from them a herd of many swine feeding.
31 So the demons begged Jesus, “If You drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs.”
And the demons besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, allow us to go away into the herd of swine.
32 “Go!” He told them. So they came out and went into the pigs, and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea and died in the waters.
And he said to them, Go. And having come out, they went into the herd of swine. And behold, the whole herd of the swine stampeded down the slope into the sea, and perished in the waters.
33 Those tending the pigs ran off into the town and reported all this, including the account of the demon-possessed men.
And those who tended them fled, and having gone into the city, they told everything, also the things of the men being demon possessed.
34 Then the whole town went out to meet Jesus. And when they saw Him, they begged Him to leave their region.
And behold, the whole city came out to a meeting with Jesus. And having seen him, they besought him that he would depart from their regions.
