1 J esus came down from the mountain. Many people followed Him.

And when he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.

2 A man with a bad skin disease came and got down before Him and worshiped Him. He said, “Lord, if You will, You can heal me!”

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

3 T hen Jesus put His hand on him and said, “I will. You are healed!” At once the man was healed.

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

4 J esus said to him, “Go now, but tell no one. Let the religious leader see you. Give the gift in worship that Moses told you to give. This will show them you have been healed.” Healing of the Captain’s Servant

And 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.

5 J esus came to the city of Capernaum. A captain of the army came to Him. He asked for help,

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

6 s aying, “Lord, my servant is sick in bed. He is not able to move his body. He is in much pain.”

and saying, Lord, my servant lieth in the house sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.

7 J esus said to the captain, “I will come and heal him.”

And he saith unto him, I will come and heal him.

8 T he captain said, “Lord, I am not good enough for You to come to my house. Only speak the word, and my servant will be healed.

And 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.

9 I am a man who works for someone else and I have men working under me. I say to this man, ‘Go!’ and he goes. I say to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes. I say to my servant, ‘Do this!’ and he does it.”

For 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.

10 W hen Jesus heard this, He was surprised and wondered about it. He said to those who followed Him, “For sure, I tell you, I have not found so much faith in the Jewish nation.

And 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 I say to you, many people will come from the east and from the west. They will sit down with Abraham and with Isaac and with Jacob in the holy nation of heaven.

And 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:

12 B ut those who should have belonged to the holy nation of heaven will be thrown out into outer darkness, where there will be crying and grinding of teeth.”

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

13 J esus said to the captain, “Go your way. It is done for you even as you had faith to believe.” The servant was healed at that time. Peter’s Mother-In-Law Healed

And 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.

14 J esus came to Peter’s house. He saw Peter’s wife’s mother in bed. She was very sick.

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

15 H e touched her hand and the sickness left her. She got up and cared for Jesus. Many People Are Healed

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

16 T hat evening they brought to Jesus many people who had demons in them. The demons were put out when Jesus spoke to them. All the sick people were healed.

And 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:

17 I t happened as the early preacher Isaiah said it would happen. He said, “He took on Himself our sickness and carried away our diseases.” Testing Some Followers

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

18 J esus saw many people and told them to go to the other side of the lake.

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

19 A teacher of the Law came to Jesus. He said, “Lord, I will follow You wherever You go.”

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

20 J esus said to him, “Foxes have holes. Birds have nests. But the Son of Man has no place to lay His head.”

And 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.

21 A nother of His followers said to Him, “Lord, let me go first and bury my father.”

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

22 J esus said to him, “Follow Me. Let the people who are dead bury their own dead.” The Wind and Waves Obey Jesus

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

23 J esus got into a boat. His followers followed Him.

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

24 A t once a bad storm came over the lake. The waves were covering the boat. Jesus was sleeping.

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

25 H is followers went to Him and called, “Help us, Lord, or we will die!”

And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Save, Lord; we perish.

26 H e said to them, “Why are you afraid? You have so little faith!” Then He stood up. He spoke sharp words to the wind and the waves. Then the wind stopped blowing.

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 T hen men were surprised and wondered about it. They said, “What kind of a man is He? Even the winds and the waves obey Him.” Demons Ask Jesus to Let Them Live in Pigs

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

28 J esus came to the other side of the lake into the country of the Gadarenes. Two men came to Him from among the graves. They had demons in them and were very wild men. They were so bad that no one would go near them.

And 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.

29 T hey called out, saying, “What do You want of us, You Son of God? Have You come here to make us suffer before it is our time to suffer?”

And 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?

30 A long way from there many pigs were eating.

Now there was afar off from them a herd of many swine feeding.

31 T he demons begged Jesus, saying, “If You put us out, send us into the pigs.”

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

32 J esus said to the demons, “Go!” They came out of the men and went into the pigs. At once the pigs ran down the mountain side. They fell into the water and died.

And 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.

33 T he men who cared for the pigs ran fast into the city and told everything. They told what happened to the men who had the demons.

And 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.

34 E very person in the city came to meet Jesus. When they saw Jesus, they asked Him to leave their country.

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