Matthew 8:1-22 ▼

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.

14 And Jesus having come into the house of Peter, saw his mother-in-law prostrated and burning with fever.

15 And He touched her hand, and the fever left her; and she arose, and began to minister unto them.

16 And it being evening, they brought to Him many demonized people: and He cast out the demons by His word, and healed all the sick;

17 in order that the word spoken by Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, saying, He took our infirmities, and carried our sicknesses.

18 And Jesus seeing the multitudes about Him, gave command to go away to the other side.

19 And one scribe having come, said to Him, Teacher, I will follow thee whithersoever thou mayest go.

20 And Jesus says to him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of heaven nests; but the Son of man has not where He may recline His head.

21 And another of His disciples said to Him, Lord, permit me first to go away and bury my father.

22 And Jesus says to him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.
