Matthew 8:1-20 ▼

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."

13 And Jesus said to the centurion, "Go your way; as you believed, be it done to you." And the boy was healed in that hour.

14 And Jesus, coming into the house of Peter, saw his mother-in-law prostrate, and sick with fever;

15 and He touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she arose, and was ministering to Him.

16 And, when it was evening, they brought to Him many demoniacs; and He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick,

17 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying, "Himself took our infirmities, and bore our sicknesses."

18 And Jesus, seeing a multitude about Him, gave orders to depart to the other side.

19 And a scribe, coming near, said to Him, "Teacher, I will follow Thee wheresoever Thou mayst go."

20 And Jesus saith to him, "The foxes have dens; and the birds of the heaven have lodging-places; but the Son of Man hath not where to lay His head."
