Matthew 8
1 And when he came down from the mountain, large crowds followed him.
NOW when he descended from the mount, great multitudes followed him.
2 And look, a leper came to him and worshiped him, saying, "Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean."
And lo! a leper came and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst 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.
And stretching out his hand, Jesus touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And instantly the leprosy was cleansed.
4 And Jesus said to him, "See that you tell nobody, but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them."

5 And when he came into Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking him,

6 and saying, "Lord, my servant lies in the house paralyzed, grievously tormented."
and saying, My servant is lying in the house paralytic, terribly tormented with pain.
7 And he said to him, "I will come and heal him."
And Jesus said unto him, I will come and heal him.
8 And the centurion answered, "Lord, I'm not worthy for you to come under my roof. Just say the word, and my servant will be healed.
And the centurion said, I am not a fit person, that thou shouldest come under my roof: but only speak a word, and my servant be cured.
9 For I am also a man under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, 'Go,' and he goes; and tell another, 'Come,' and he comes; and tell my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it."
For I also am a man under authority, having under my command soldiers and I say to this soldier, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
10 And when Jesus heard it, he was amazed, and said to those who followed, "Truly I tell you, I have not found so great a faith with anyone in Israel.
And Jesus hearing him, marvelled, and said to those who were following, Verily I say unto you, not even in Israel have I found so great faith.
11 And I tell you that many will come from the east and the west, and will sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven,
And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and from the west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.
12 but the children of the kingdom will be thrown out into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and grinding of teeth."
But the children of the kingdom shall be cast into the outer darkness: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
13 And Jesus said to the centurion, "Go your way. Let it be done for you as you have believed." And the servant was healed in that hour.
And Jesus said to the centurion, Go; and as thou hast believed, be it to thee. And his servant was cured at that very hour.
14 And when Jesus came into Peter's house, he saw his mother-in-law lying sick with a fever.

And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and waited upon them.
16 And when evening came, they brought to him many possessed with demons. He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick;
And when evening was come, they brought him many possessed by devils: and he cast out the spirits by a word, and all who had illnesses he cured:
17 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying, "He took our infirmities, and bore our diseases."

And Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their own dead.
23 And when he got into a boat, his disciples followed him.
And going on board a vessel, his disciples followed him.
24 And look, a violent storm came up on the sea, so much that the boat was covered with the waves, but he was asleep.
And, behold, there was a great tempest in the sea, so that the vessel was hid by the waves; but he was asleep.
25 They came to him, and woke him up, saying, "Save us, Lord. We are dying."
And his disciples coming, awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we are perishing!
26 And he said to them, "Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?" Then he got up, rebuked the wind and the sea, and there was a great calm.
And he said unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then arising, he issued his mandate to the winds, and to the sea; and there was a great calm.
27 And the men were amazed, saying, "What kind of person is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?"
And the men marvelled, saying, What a wondrous man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!
28 And when he came to the other side, into the country of the Gadarenes, two people possessed by demons met him there, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that nobody could pass that way.

29 And look, they shouted, saying, "What do we have to do with you, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?"
And lo! they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither before the time to torment us?
30 Now there was a herd of many pigs feeding far away from them.
And at a considerable distance, there was a great herd of swine feeding.
31 And the demons begged him, saying, "If you cast us out, permit us to go away into the herd of pigs."
Then the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, permit us to go into the herd of swine.
32 And he said to them, "Go." And they came out, and went into the pigs, and look, the whole herd rushed down the cliff into the sea, and died in the water.
And he said to them, Go. Then they going forth out of him, entered into the herd of swine: and lo! the whole herd of the swine rushed down a precipice into the sea, and perished in the waters.
33 And those who fed them fled, and went away into the city, and told everything, including what happened to those who were possessed with demons.
But they who fed them fled, and going away into the city, reported all things, and what had happened to the demoniacs.
34 And look, all the city came out to meet Jesus. And when they saw him, they pleaded with him to leave their region.
And, behold, all the city came out to meet him: and when they saw him, they besought him to depart from their territories.
