Matthew 8:1-12 ▼

1 And, when He came down from the mountain, great multitudes followed Him.

2 And, behold, a leper, coming near, was worshiping Him, saying, "Lord, if Thou art willing, Thou art able to cleanse me."

3 And, stretching forth His hand, He touched him, saying, "I am willing. Be cleansed." And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

4 And Jesus saith to him, "See that you tell no one: but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.

5 And, when He entered into Capernaum, there came to Him a centurion, beseeching Him.

6 and saying, "Lord, my boy has been prostrated in my house, a paralytic, fearfully afflicted."

7 And He saith to him, "Having gone, I will heal him."

8 And the centurion, answering, said, "Lord, I am not worthy that Thou shouldest enter under my roof, but only speak in a word, and my boy 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 goes; and to another, 'Come,' and he comes; and to my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it ."

10 And Jesus, hearing it , wondered, and said to those following Him , "Verily I say to you, with no one in Israel did I find such faith.

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

12 but the sons of the Kingdom shall be cast out into the outer darkness; there will be the weeping, and the gnashing of teeth."
