1 A nd when he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.

When Jesus came down from the mountain, great throngs followed Him.

2 A nd behold, there came to him a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

And behold, a leper came up to Him and, prostrating himself, worshiped Him, saying, Lord, if You are willing, You are able to cleanse me by curing me.

3 A nd he stretched forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou made clean. And straightway his leprosy was cleansed.

And He reached out His hand and touched him, saying, I am willing; be cleansed by being cured. And instantly his leprosy was cured and cleansed.

4 A nd Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go, show thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

And Jesus said to him, See that you tell nothing about this to anyone; but go, show yourself to the priest and present the offering that Moses commanded, for a testimony and as an evidence to the people.

5 A nd when he was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him,

As Jesus went into Capernaum, a centurion came up to Him, begging Him,

6 a nd saying, Lord, my servant lieth in the house sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.

And saying, Lord, my servant boy is lying at the house paralyzed and distressed with intense pains.

7 A nd he saith unto him, I will come and heal him.

And Jesus said to him, I will come and restore him.

8 A nd the centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof; but only say the word, and my servant shall be healed.

But the centurion replied to Him, Lord, I am not worthy or fit to have You come under my roof; but only speak the word, and my servant boy will be cured.

9 F or I also am a man 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.

For I also am a man subject to authority, with soldiers subject to me. And I say to one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my slave, Do this, and he does it.

10 A nd 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.

When Jesus heard him, He marveled and said to those who followed Him '> who adhered steadfastly to Him, conforming to His example in living and, if need be, in dying also], I tell you truly, I have not found so much faith as this with anyone, even in Israel.

11 A nd I say unto you, that many shall come from the east and the west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven:

I tell you, many will come from east and west, and will sit at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven,

12 b ut the sons of the kingdom shall be cast forth into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

While the sons and heirs of the kingdom will be driven out into the darkness outside, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.

13 A nd Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And the servant was healed in that hour.

Then to the centurion Jesus said, Go; it shall be done for you as you have believed. And the servant boy was restored to health at that very moment.

14 A nd when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother lying sick of a fever.

And when Jesus went into Peter’s house, He saw his mother-in-law lying ill with a fever.

15 A nd he touched her hand, and the fever left her; and she arose, and ministered unto him.

He touched her hand and the fever left her; and she got up and began waiting on Him.

16 A nd when even was come, they brought unto him many possessed with demons: and he cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all that were sick:

When evening came, they brought to Him many who were under the power of demons, and He drove out the spirits with a word and restored to health all who were sick.

17 t hat it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying: Himself took our infirmities, and bare our diseases.

And thus He fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah, He Himself took '> in order to carry away] our weaknesses and infirmities and bore away our diseases.

18 N ow when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandments to depart unto the other side.

Now Jesus, when He saw the great throngs around Him, gave orders to cross to the other side.

19 A nd there came a scribe, and said unto him, Teacher, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.

And a scribe came up and said to Him, Master, I will accompany You wherever You go.

20 A nd Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.

And Jesus replied to him, Foxes have holes and the birds of the air have lodging places, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.

21 A nd another of the disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.

Another of the disciples said to Him, Lord, let me first go and bury '> care for till death] my father.

22 B ut Jesus saith unto him, Follow me; and leave the dead to bury their own dead.

But Jesus said to him, Follow Me, and leave the dead '> in sin] to bury their own dead.

23 A nd when he was entered into a boat, his disciples followed him.

And after He got into the boat, His disciples followed Him.

24 A nd behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the boat was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.

And suddenly, behold, there arose a violent storm on the sea, so that the boat was being covered up by the waves; but He was sleeping.

25 A nd they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Save, Lord; we perish.

And they went and awakened Him, saying, Lord, rescue and preserve us! We are perishing!

26 A nd 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.

And He said to them, Why are you timid and afraid, O you of little faith? Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great and wonderful calm ( a perfect peaceableness).

27 A nd the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him?

And the men were stunned with bewildered wonder and marveled, saying, What kind of Man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him!

28 A nd when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gadarenes, there met him two possessed with demons, coming forth out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man could pass by that way.

And when He arrived at the other side in the country of the Gadarenes, two men under the control of demons went to meet Him, coming out of the tombs, so fierce and savage that no one was able to pass that way.

29 A nd behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?

And behold, they shrieked and screamed, What have You to do with us, Jesus, Son of God? Have You come to torment us before the appointed time?

30 N ow there was afar off from them a herd of many swine feeding.

Now at some distance from there a drove of many hogs was grazing.

31 A nd the demons besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, send us away into the herd of swine.

And the demons begged Him, If You drive us out, send us into the drove of hogs.

32 A nd he said unto them, Go. And they came out, and went into the swine: and behold, the whole herd rushed down the steep into the sea, and perished in the waters.

And He said to them, Begone! So they came out and went into the hogs, and behold, the whole drove rushed down the steep bank into the sea and died in the water.

33 A nd they that fed them fled, and went away into the city, and told everything, and what was befallen to them that were possessed with demons.

The herdsmen fled and went into the town and reported everything, including what had happened to the men under the power of demons.

34 A nd behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart from their borders.

And behold, the whole town went out to meet Jesus; and as soon as they saw Him, they begged Him to depart from their locality.
