Matthew 8
1 When he was come
down from the
mountain, great multitudes followed him. 2 And, behold, there
came a
leper and
worshipped him, saying,
Lord, if thou
wilt, thou
canst make me clean.
3 And Jesus put
forth his
hand, and
touched him, saying, I
will; be thou
clean.
And immediately his leprosy was
cleansed.
4 And Jesus saith unto
him, See thou
tell no
man; but go thy
way,
shew thyself to the
priest, and offer the
gift that Moses commanded,
for a
testimony unto
them. 5 And when Jesus was
entered into Capernaum, there
came unto
him a
centurion, beseeching him, 6 And saying,
Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the
palsy, grievously tormented.
7 And Jesus saith unto
him, I will
come and
heal him. 8 The
centurion answered and said,
Lord, I
am not worthy that thou shouldest
come under my roof: but speak the
word only, and my servant shall be
healed.
9 For I am a
man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I
say to
this man,
Go,
and he
goeth;
and to
another, Come,
and he
cometh;
and to
my servant, Do this, and he
doeth it.
10 When Jesus heard it, he
marvelled,
and said to them that
followed,
Verily I
say unto
you, I
have not found so
great faith, no,
not in Israel. 11 And I
say unto
you, That many shall
come from the
east and west, and shall sit
down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the
kingdom of
heaven. 12 But the
children of the
kingdom shall be cast
out into outer darkness: there shall
be weeping and gnashing of
teeth. 13 And Jesus said unto the
centurion, Go thy
way;
and as thou hast
believed, so be it
done unto
thee. And his servant was
healed in the
selfsame hour. 14 And when
Jesus was
come into Peter's house, he
saw his wife's
mother laid,
and sick of a
fever.
15 And he
touched her hand, and the
fever left her: and she
arose,
and ministered unto
them. 16 When the
even was
come, they
brought unto
him many that were possessed with
devils:
and he cast
out the
spirits with his
word, and healed all that
were sick: 17 That it
might be
fulfilled which was
spoken by Esaias the
prophet, saying,
Himself took our infirmities, and bare our
sicknesses. 18 Now when
Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave
commandment to
depart unto the other
side. 19 And a
certain scribe came, and
said unto
him, Master, I will
follow thee whithersoever thou goest.
20 And Jesus saith unto
him, The
foxes have holes, and the
birds of the
air have
nests; but the
Son of
man hath not where to
lay his
head. 21 And another of
his disciples said unto
him, Lord, suffer me first to
go and bury my father. 22 But Jesus said unto
him, Follow me; and let the
dead bury their dead. 23 And when
he was
entered into a
ship, his disciples followed him. 24 And, behold, there
arose a
great tempest in the
sea, insomuch
that the
ship was
covered with the
waves: but he was
asleep.
25 And his disciples came to him, and
awoke him, saying,
Lord, save us: we
perish.
26 And he
saith unto
them, Why are
ye fearful, O ye of little
faith? Then he
arose, and
rebuked the
winds and the
sea; and there
was a
great calm. 27 But the
men marvelled,
saying, What manner of
man is this, that even the
winds and the
sea obey him! 28 And when
he was
come to the other
side in
to the
country of the
Gergesenes, there
met him two possessed with
devils,
coming out
of the
tombs, exceeding fierce, so
that no man might pass by that way. 29 And, behold, they cried
out,
saying,
What have
we to do
with thee, Jesus, thou
Son of
God? art thou
come hither to
torment us before the
time? 30 And there
was a good way
off from them an
herd of
many swine feeding.
31 So the
devils besought him, saying,
If thou
cast us out,
suffer us to go
away into the
herd of
swine. 32 And he
said unto
them, Go.
And when they were come
out, they
went into the
herd of
swine: and, behold, the
whole herd of
swine ran
violently down a steep
place into the
sea, and perished in the
waters. 33 And they that
kept them
fled,
and went their
ways into the
city, and
told every
thing, and what was befallen to the possessed of the
devils.
34 And, behold, the
whole city came
out to meet Jesus: and when they
saw him, they
besought him
that he would
depart out
of their coasts.
