English Standard Version

1When He had come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed Him.

1When he came down from the mountain, great crowds followed him.

2And behold, a leper came and worshiped Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”

2And behold, a leper came to him and knelt before him, saying, “Lord, if you will, you can make me clean.”

3Then Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

3And Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I will; be clean.” And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

4And Jesus said to him, “See that you tell no one; but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”

4And Jesus said to him, “See that you say nothing to anyone, but go, show yourself to the priest and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a proof to them.”

5Now when Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, pleading with Him,

5When he had entered Capernaum, a centurion came forward to him, appealing to him,

6saying, “Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, dreadfully tormented.”

6“Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, suffering terribly.”

7And Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.”

7And he said to him, “I will come and heal him.”

8The centurion answered and said, “Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed.

8But the centurion replied, “Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof, but only say the word, and my servant will be healed.

9For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”

9For I too am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. And I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes, and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes, and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”

10When Jesus heard it, He marveled, and said to those who followed, “Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!

10When Jesus heard this, he marveled and said to those who followed him, “Truly, I tell you, with no one in Israel have I found such faith.

11And I say to you that many will come from east and west, and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.

11I tell you, many will come from east and west and recline at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven,

12But the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

12while the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

13Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go your way; and as you have believed, so let it be done for you.” And his servant was healed that same hour.

13And to the centurion Jesus said, “Go; let it be done for you as you have believed.” And the servant was healed at that very moment.

14Now when Jesus had come into Peter’s house, He saw his wife’s mother lying sick with a fever.

14And when Jesus entered Peter’s house, he saw his mother-in-law lying sick with a fever.

15So He touched her hand, and the fever left her. And she arose and served them.

15He touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she rose and began to serve him.

16When evening had come, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed. And He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick,

16That evening they brought to him many who were oppressed by demons, and he cast out the spirits with a word and healed all who were sick.

17that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying: “ He Himself took our infirmities And bore our sicknesses.”

17This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah: “He took our illnesses and bore our diseases.”

18And when Jesus saw great multitudes about Him, He gave a command to depart to the other side.

18Now when Jesus saw a crowd around him, he gave orders to go over to the other side.

19Then a certain scribe came and said to Him, “Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go.”

19And a scribe came up and said to him, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.”

20And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.”

20And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.”

21Then another of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.”

21Another of the disciples said to him, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.”

22But Jesus said to him, “Follow Me, and let the dead bury their own dead.”

22And Jesus said to him, “Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead.”

23Now when He got into a boat, His disciples followed Him.

23And when he got into the boat, his disciples followed him.

24And suddenly a great tempest arose on the sea, so that the boat was covered with the waves. But He was asleep.

24And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but he was asleep.

25Then His disciples came to Him and awoke Him, saying, “Lord, save us! We are perishing!”

25And they went and woke him, saying, “Save us, Lord; we are perishing.”

26But He said to them, “Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?” Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.

26And he said to them, “Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?” Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.

27So the men marveled, saying, “Who can this be, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?”

27And the men marveled, saying, “What sort of man is this, that even winds and sea obey him?”

28When He had come to the other side, to the country of the Gergesenes, there met Him two demon-possessed men, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that no one could pass that way.

28And when he came to the other side, to the country of the Gadarenes, two demon-possessed men met him, coming out of the tombs, so fierce that no one could pass that way.

29And suddenly they cried out, saying, “What have we to do with You, Jesus, You Son of God? Have You come here to torment us before the time?”

29And behold, they cried out, “What have you to do with us, O Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?”

30Now a good way off from them there was a herd of many swine feeding.

30Now a herd of many pigs was feeding at some distance from them.

31So the demons begged Him, saying, “If You cast us out, permit us to go away into the herd of swine.”

31And the demons begged him, saying, “If you cast us out, send us away into the herd of pigs.”

32And He said to them, “Go.” So when they had come out, they went into the herd of swine. And suddenly the whole herd of swine ran violently down the steep place into the sea, and perished in the water.

32And he said to them, “Go.” So they came out and went into the pigs, and behold, the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned in the waters.

33Then those who kept them fled; and they went away into the city and told everything, including what had happened to the demon-possessed men.

33The herdsmen fled, and going into the city they told everything, especially what had happened to the demon-possessed men.

34And behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus. And when they saw Him, they begged Him to depart from their region.

34And behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus, and when they saw him, they begged him to leave their region.
