Matthew 8

BLB(i) 1 And He having come down from the mountain, great crowds followed Him. 2 And behold a leper having come, was worshipping Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You are able to cleanse me.” 3 And having stretched out the hand, He touched him saying, “I am willing; be you cleansed!” And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. 4 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, for a testimony to them.” 5 And He having entered into Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, imploring Him, 6 and saying, “Lord, my servant is lying in the house paralyzed, grievously tormented.” 7 And He says to him, “I having come, will heal him.” 8 But the centurion answering, said, “Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof; but just say the word, and my servant will be healed. 9 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 servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.” 10 And Jesus having heard, marveled and said to those following, “Truly I say to you, no one in Israel with faith so great have I found. 11 And I say to you that many will come from east and west, and will recline with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of the heavens. 12 But the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into the outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of the teeth.” 13 And Jesus said to the centurion, “Go! As you have believed, be it to you.” And his servant was healed in that very hour. 14 And Jesus having come to the house of Peter, He saw his mother-in-law lying sick and fevering. 15 And He touched her hand and the fever left her; and she arose and was ministering unto them. 16 And evening having come, they brought to Him many being possessed with demons, and He cast out the spirits with a word and He healed all those being sick, 17 so that it might be fulfilled that having been spoken through the prophet Isaiah, saying, “He Himself took our infirmities, and bore our diseases.” 18 And Jesus, having seen a great crowd around Him, gave orders to depart to the other side. 19 And one scribe, having approached Him, said “Teacher, I will follow You wherever that You should go.” 20 And Jesus says to him, “Foxes have holes, and the birds of the air nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere He might lay the head.” 21 And another of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, allow me first to go and to bury my father.” 22 But Jesus said to him, “Follow Me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead.” 23 And He having entered into the boat, His disciples followed Him. 24 And behold, a great storm arose in the sea so that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but He Himself was sleeping. 25 And having approached, they awoke Him, saying, “Lord, save us, we are perishing!” 26 And He says to them, “O you of little faith, Why are you afraid?” Then having arisen, He rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. 27 And the men marveled, saying, “What kind 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 Gadarenes, two being possessed by demons met Him, coming forth out of the tombs, extremely violent, so that no one was able to pass by that way. 29 And behold, they cried out saying, “What to us and to you Son of God? Have You come here to torment us before the time?” 30 Now there was far off from them a herd of many pigs feeding. 31 And the demons were begging Him, saying, “If You cast us out, send us away into the herd of pigs.” 32 And He said to them, “Go!” And having gone out, they went away into the pigs, and behold, all the herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea and perished in the waters. 33 And those feeding them fled, and having gone away into the city, they related everything, including the matter of those being possessed by demons. 34 And behold, all the city went out to meet Jesus. And having seen Him, they begged Him that He would depart from their region.
