[1] When he came down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him. [2]
Behold, a leper came to him and worshipped him, saying, "Lord, if you want
to, you can make me clean." [3] Jesus stretched out his hand, and touched
him, saying, "I want to. Be made clean." Immediately his leprosy was
cleansed. [4] 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] 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." [7] Jesus said to him, "I will come and
heal him." [8] 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. [9]
For I am also a man under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell
this one, `Go,` and he goes; and to another, `Come,` and he comes; and to
my servant, `Do this,` and he does it." [10] When Jesus heard it, he
marveled, and said to those who followed, "Most assuredly I tell you, I
haven`t found so great a faith, not even in Israel. [11] 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, [12] but the sons of the
kingdom will be thrown out into the outer darkness. There will be weeping
and the gnashing of teeth." [13] Jesus said to the centurion, "Go your way.
Let it be done for you as you as you have believed." His servant was healed
in that hour. [14] When Jesus came into Peter`s house, he saw his wife`s
mother lying sick of a fever. [15] He touched her hand, and the fever left
her. She got up and served him. [16] 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; [17] that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through
Isaiah the prophet, saying: "He took our infirmities, and bore our
diseases." [18] Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave the
order to depart to the other side. [19] A scribe came, and said to him,
"Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go." [20] Jesus said to him, "The
foxes have holes, and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man
has nowhere to lay his head." [21] Another of his disciples said to him,
"Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father." [22] But Jesus said to
him, "Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead." [23] When he
got into a boat, his disciples followed him. [24] Behold, a great tempest
arose in the sea, so much that the boat was covered with the waves, but he
was asleep. [25] They came to him, and woke him up, saying, "Save us, Lord!
We are dying!" [26] He said to them, "Why are you fearful, oh you of little
faith?" Then he got up, rebuked the wind and the sea, and there was a great
calm. [27] The men marveled, saying, "What kind of man is this, that even
the wind and the sea obey him?" [28] When he came to the other side, into
the country of the Gergesenes, two people possessed with demons met him
there, coming forth out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that no man
could pass by that way. [29] Behold, they cried out, saying, "What do we
have to do with you, Jesus, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us
before the time?" [30] Now there was a herd of many pigs feeding far away
from them. [31] The demons begged him, saying, "If you cast us out, permit
us to go away into the herd of pigs." [32] He said to them, "Go!" They
came out, and went into the herd of pigs: and behold, the whole herd of
pigs rushed down the cliff into the sea, and died in the water. [33] Those
who fed them fled, and went away into the city, and told everything, and
what happened to those who were possessed with demons. [34] Behold, all the
city came out to meet Jesus. When they saw him, they begged that he would
depart from their borders.
