Matthew 8:1-13 ▼

1 And many multitudes followed Him, coming down from the mountain.

2 And behold, a leper, having come, continued to worship Him, saying; Lord, if you may be willing, you are able to cleanse me.

3 And Jesus, reaching forth His hand, touched him, saying, I am willing; be thou cleansed. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

4 And Jesus says to him, See that you may tell no one; but go, show thyself to the priest, and offer the gift which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

5 And He having come into Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, entreating Him,

6 and saying; Lord, my servant lies in the house paralyzed, terribly tormented.

7 And Jesus says to him, Having come I will heal him.

8 And the centurion responding said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou mayest come in under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant will be healed.

9 For I am also 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.

10 And Jesus hearing, was astonished, and said to those following, Truly I say unto you, I did not find so great faith in Israel.

11 And I say unto you, that many will come from the east and from the west, and sit up with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of the heavens:

12 but the sons of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: and there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

13 And Jesus said to the centurion, Go; and let it be done unto thee as thou hast believed. And his servant was healed at that hour.
