| 1 And when he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes
followed him. 2 And behold, there came to him a leper and worshipped him,
saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. 3 And he stretched
forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou made clean. And
straightway his leprosy was cleansed. 4 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 And when he was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion,
beseeching him, 6 and saying, Lord, my servant lieth in the house sick of
the palsy, grievously tormented. 7 And he saith unto him, I will come and
heal him. 8 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 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 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 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 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 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 And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother
lying sick of a fever. 15 And he touched her hand, and the fever left her;
and she arose, and ministered unto him. 16 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 that it might be fulfilled which
was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying: Himself took our infirmities,
and bare our diseases.
18 Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandments to
depart unto the other side. 19 And there came a scribe, and said unto him,
Teacher, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. 20 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 And another
of the disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my
father. 22 But Jesus saith unto him, Follow me; and leave the dead to bury
their own dead.
23 And when he was entered into a boat, his disciples followed him.
24 And behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the
boat was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. 25 And they came to
him, and awoke him, saying, Save, Lord; 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 And 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 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 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 Now there was
afar off from them a herd of many swine feeding. 31 And the demons
besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, send us away into the herd of
swine. 32 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 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 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.
