Matthew

8 And when he came down from the mountain there followed him large multitudes.

2 And lo! a leper coming near began to bow down to him saying,—Lord! if thou be willing thou canst cleanse me.

3 And stretching forth the hand he touched him, saying,—I am willing, be cleansed! And straightway cleansed was his leprosy.

4 And Jesus saith unto him, Mind! tell no one,—but withdraw, thyself shew to the priest and offer the gift which Moses directed for a witness unto them.

5 And when he entered into Capernaum there came near unto him a centurion beseeching him,

6 and saying, Lord! my servant is laid prostrate in the house, a paralytic fearfully tortured.

7 He saith unto him, I will come and cure him.

8 But the centurion answering said, Lord! I am of no consideration, that under my roof thou shouldest enter,—but only say with a word and healed shall be my servant.

9 For I also am a man [set] under authority, having under myself soldiers,—and I say to this one, Go! and he goeth, and to another, Come! and he cometh, and to my servant Do this! and he doeth it.

10 Now Jesus hearing marvelled, and said to them that followed,—Verily I say unto you, With no one in Israel such faith as this have I found.

11 But I say unto you, Many from east and west will have come, And shall recline with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, in the kingdom of the heavens;

12 Whereas the sons of the kingdom shall be cast forth into the darkness outside,—There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

13 And Jesus said unto the centurion, Withdraw! and as thou hast believed be it done for thee. And healed was the servant in that hour.

14 And Jesus coming into the house of Peter saw his mother-in-law laid prostrate and in a fever,

15 and he touched her hand, and the fever left her,—and she arose, and began ministering unto him.

16 But when evening came, they brought unto him many demonized,—and he cast out the spirits with a word, and all who were sick he cured:

17 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,—Himself our weaknesses took, and diseases bare.

18 Now Jesus seeing a multitude about him gave orders to depart unto the other side.

19 And a certain scribe coming near said unto him,—Teacher; I will follow thee, whithersoever thou goest.

20 And Jesus saith unto him: The foxes have dens, And the birds of the heavens nests,—But the Son of Man hath not where his head he may recline.

21 And another of the disciples saith unto him,—Lord! suffer me first to depart and bury my father.

22 But Jesus saith unto him,—Be following me, And leave the dead to bury their own dead.

23 And when he entered into a boat his disciples followed him.

24 And lo! a great squall arose in the sea, so that the boat was being covered by the waves,—but he was sleeping.

25 And coming near they aroused him saying, Master! save, we perish!

26 And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, little of faith? Then aroused he rebuked the winds and the sea,—and it became a great calm.

27 But the men marvelled saying, Whence is this one,—that both the winds and the sea unto him give ear?

28 And when he came unto the other side, into the country of the Gadarenes there met him two men demonized, out of the tombs coming forth,—fierce exceedingly, so that no one could pass that way;

29 and lo! they cried aloud, saying, What have we in common with thee, O Son of God? Hast thou come hither before the right time to torment us?

30 Now there was far from them a herd of many swine, feeding;

31 and the demons began to beseech him, saying, If thou dost cast us out Send us away into the herd of swine.

32 And he said unto them, Withdraw! So they going out departed into the swine,—and lo! all the herd rushed down the cliff into the sea, and died in the waters.

33 And they who were feeding them fled,—and departing into the city reported all things, and what concerned them who had been demonized.

34 And lo! all the city came out to meet Jesus,—and seeing him they besought that he would pass on from their bounds.
