Matthew 8
1 And when He came down from the mountain, great multitudes followed Him,
As he went down from the mountain, great crowds followed him.
2 and behold, a leper having come, was prostrating to Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You are able to cleanse me”;
And behold! a leper came and knelt before him, saying, "Lord if you choose, you can make me clean."
3 and having stretched forth the hand, Jesus touched him, saying, “I will, be cleansed,” and immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him "I do choose," he said, "become clean," and immediately he was cleansed of his leprosy.
4 And Jesus says to him, “See, you may tell no one, but go, show yourself to the priest, and bring the gift that Moses commanded for a testimony to them.”

saying, "Lord, my slave at home is lying ill with paralysis, in terrible agony."
7 and Jesus says to him, “I, having come, will heal him.”
"I will come and heal him," said Jesus.
8 And the centurion answering said, “Lord, I am not worthy that You may enter under my roof, but only say a word, and my servant will be healed;
"Lord, "said the captain in reply, "I am not worthy to have you under my roof, but speak the word only, and my slave will be cured,
9 for I also am a man under authority, having under myself soldiers, and I say to this one, Go, and he goes, and to another, Be coming, and he comes, and to my servant, Do this, and he does [it].”
"For I myself also am a man under authority, and I have soldiers under me. To one man I say ‘Go,’ and he goes; to another,’Come,’ and he comes; and to my slave, ‘Do this,’ and he does it."
10 And Jesus having heard, wondered, and said to those following, “Truly I say to you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith;
As Jesus listened to this reply he was astonished, and said to those who followed him. "In solemn truth I tell you that I have found faith like this in any Israelite.
11 and I say to you that many from east and west will come and recline with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of the heavens,
"I tell you that many will come from the east and from the west, and sit down with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.
12 but the sons of the kingdom will be cast forth into the outer darkness—there will be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.”
"but the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into the outer darkness; there will be the wailing and the gnashing of teeth."
13 And Jesus said to the centurion, “Go, and as you believed let it be to you”; and his young man was healed in that hour.
Then Jesus said to the captain. "Go! As you have believed, so be it unto you." And his slave was healed in that very hour.

20 and Jesus says to him, “The foxes have holes, and the birds of the sky places of rest, but the Son of Man has nowhere He may lay the head.”
"Foxes have their holes," answered Jesus, "and wild birds their roosting-places, but the Son of man has not where to lay his head."
21 And another of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, permit me first to depart and to bury my father”;
Another of his disciples said to him, "Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father,"

23 And when He entered into the boat His disciples followed Him,
Then he went in board a fishing-boat, his disciples accompanying him;
24 and behold, a great storm arose in the sea, so that the boat was being covered by the waves, but He was sleeping,
and behold, a sudden storm arose on the sea, so that the boat began to be buried by the waves.
25 and His disciples having come to Him, awoke Him, saying, “Lord, save us! We are perishing!”
But he was asleep. And they came and woke him, saying. "Lord save us! We are drowning!"
26 And He says to them, “Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?” Then having risen, He rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm;
"Why are you afraid?" he said, "you men of little faith!" Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there came a great calm.

But the men were amazed, saying, "What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him?"
28 And 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,

"You Son of God," they shouted, "what have you to do with us? Are you come to torment us before the time?"
30 And there was a herd of many pigs feeding far off from them,
Now there was, at some distance from them, a herd of many swine feeding;
31 and the demons were calling on Him, saying, “If You cast us forth, permit us to go away into the herd of the pigs”;
and the demons began entreating him. "If you are driving us out," they said, "send us into the herd of swine."
32 and He says to them, “Go.” And having come forth, they went into the herd of the pigs, and behold, the whole herd of the pigs rushed down the steep, into the sea, and died in the waters,
He answered, "Go!" So they came out of the men, and went into the swine, and behold! the entire herd rushed headlong down from the cliff into the sea, and perished in the water.
33 and those feeding fled, and having gone into the city, they declared all, and the matter of the demoniacs.
The swineherds fled. They went away into the city and told all about it, and what had befallen the demoniacs.
34 And behold, all the city came forth to meet Jesus, and having seen Him, they called on [Him] that He might depart from their borders.
At once all the citizens came out to meet Jesus; and when they had seen him, they begged him to move away from their country.
