Matthew 8
1 When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.
So when He came down from the mountain large crowds followed Him.
2 And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
And then, a leper came and worshiped Him saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”
3 And Jesus put forth [his] hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
So reaching out His hand Jesus touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed!” And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
4 And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
And Jesus says to him: “See that you tell no one; but go, show yourself to the priest and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a proof to them.”
5 And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him,
As He entered Capernaum a centurion came to Him, pleading with Him
6 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.
and saying, “Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, being terribly tormented.”
7 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.
And Jesus says to him, “I will go and heal him.”
8 The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.
But in answer the centurion said: “Lord, I am not worthy that you should come under my roof; but only speak a word and my servant will be healed.
9 For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this [man], Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth [it].
For I also am a man under authority, having 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.”
10 When Jesus heard [it], he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
Upon hearing him Jesus marveled, and said to those who were following: “Assuredly I say to you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith!
11 And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.
And I say to you that many will come from east and west and sit down with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of the heavens;
12 But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
but the sons of the kingdom will be thrown out into the darkness farthest away. There, there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
13 And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, [so] be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour.
Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go; and let it be done for you just as you believed.” And his servant was healed in that very hour.
14 And when Jesus was come into Peter’s house, he saw his wife’s mother laid, and sick of a fever.
Now when Jesus had come into Peter's house, He saw his mother-in-law laid up and burning with fever.
15 And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them.
So He touched her hand and the fever left her; and she got up and began to serve Him.
16 When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with [his] word, and healed all that were sick:
And when evening came they brought to Him many who were demonized. And He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick,
17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare [our] sicknesses.
so that what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet should be fulfilled, namely: “He Himself took our infirmities and bore our diseases.”
18 Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandment to depart unto the other side.
Seeing large crowds around Him Jesus gave an order to depart for the opposite shore.
19 And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.
Then a certain scribe approaching said to Him, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you may go.”
20 And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air [have] nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay [his] head.
So Jesus says to him, “The foxes have dens and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of the Man does not have where He may lay His head.”
21 And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
Then a different one of the disciples said to Him, “Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father.”
22 But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.
But Jesus said to him, “Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead.”
23 And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him.
Now when He got into the boat, His disciples followed Him.
24 And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.
And then—a great tempest arose on the sea, so that the boat was covered by the waves. But He was sleeping.
25 And his disciples came to [him], and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish.
So the disciples came and awakened Him saying, “Lord, save us! We are perishing!”
26 And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.
And He says to them, “Why are you cowardly, you little-faiths?” Then rising He rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.
27 But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!
So the men marveled, saying, “What sort of being is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?”
28 And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.
Upon His coming to the other side, to the region of the Gergesenes, two demonized men met Him, coming out from the tombs, very dangerous, so that no one could pass that way.
29 And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?
And then—they cried out saying: “What do you have to do with us, Jesus, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?”
30 And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding.
Now a good way off from them there was a herd of many pigs feeding.
31 So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.
So the demons kept imploring Him saying, “Since you are going to cast us out, permit us to go into the herd of pigs.”
32 And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.
So He said to them, “Go!” And coming out they went off into the herd of pigs. And then—the whole herd of pigs rushed down the steep bank into the sea and died in the water!
33 And they that kept them fled, and went their ways into the city, and told every thing, and what was befallen to the possessed of the devils.
So the swineherds ran away, and going into the town they told everything, including about the demonized men.
34 And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought [him] that he would depart out of their coasts.
And then, the whole town went out to meet with Jesus; and upon seeing Him they begged Him to depart from their borders.
