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

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 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 Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately 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 thy way, shew 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 Jesus 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 at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.

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

And Jesus 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.

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 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 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 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.

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 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 children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and 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; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame 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 laid, and 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 them.

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.

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 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 by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.

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 commandment 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 a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, 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 air 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 his 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 said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.

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

And when he was entered into a ship, 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 ship 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 his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: 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

But 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 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 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, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?

30 A long way from there many pigs were eating.

And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding.

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

So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go 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 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 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 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 E very person in the city came to meet Jesus. When they saw Jesus, they asked Him to leave their country.

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.
