New American Standard Bible Jesus Cleanses a Leper; The Centurions Faith 1When Jesus came down from the mountain, large crowds followed Him. 2And a leper came to Him and bowed down before Him, and said, Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean. 3Jesus stretched out His hand and touched him, saying, I am willing; be cleansed. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. 4And Jesus said to him, See that you tell no one; but go, show yourself to the priest and present the offering that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them. 5And when Jesus entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, imploring Him, 6and saying, Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, fearfully tormented. 7Jesus said to him, I will come and heal him. 8But the centurion said, Lord, I am not worthy for You to come under my roof, but just say the word, and my servant will be healed. 9For I also am a man under authority, with soldiers under me; and I say to this one, Go! and he goes, and to another, Come! and he comes, and to my slave, Do this! and he does it. 10Now when Jesus heard this, He marveled and said to those who were following, Truly I say to you, I have not found such great faith with anyone in Israel. 11I say to you that many will come from east and west, and recline at the table with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven; 12but the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 13And Jesus said to the centurion, Go; it shall be done for you as you have believed. And the servant was healed that very moment.
23When He got into the boat, His disciples followed Him. 24And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being covered with the waves; but Jesus Himself was asleep. 25And they came to Him and woke Him, saying, Save us, Lord; we are perishing! 26He said to them, Why are you afraid, you men of little faith? Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and it became perfectly calm. 27The men were amazed, and said, What kind of a man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?
