Matthew 8:1–17

¹And when he had come down from the mountain, great crowds followed him. ²And behold, a leper came up to him and did him homage, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou art able to cleanse me. ³And he stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, I will; be cleansed. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. ⁴And Jesus says to him, See thou tell no man, but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift which Moses ordained, for a testimony to them.

⁵And when he had entered into Capernaum, a centurion came to him, beseeching him, ⁶and saying, Lord, my servant lies paralytic in the house, suffering grievously. ⁷And Jesus says to him, I will come and heal him. ⁸And the centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not fit that thou shouldest enter under my roof; but only speak a word, and my servant shall be healed. ⁹For I also am a man under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say to this one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my bondman, Do this, and he does it. ¹⁰And when Jesus heard it, he wondered, and said to those who followed, Verily I say unto you, Not even in Israel have I found so great faith. ¹¹But I say unto you, that many shall come from the rising and setting sun, and shall lie down at table with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of the heavens; ¹²but the sons of the kingdom shall be cast out into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. ¹³And Jesus said to the centurion, Go, and as thou hast believed, be it to thee. And his servant was healed in that hour.

¹⁴And when Jesus had come to Peter’s house, he saw his mother-in-law laid down and in a fever; ¹⁵and he touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she arose and served him. ¹⁶And when the evening was come, they brought to him many possessed by demons, and he cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all that were ill; ¹⁷so that that should be fulfilled which was spoken through Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities and bore our diseases.
