Matthew 8

8When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him. ^2aAnd, behold, there came a leper and ^bworshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. ³And Jesus put forth his hand, and ^bbtouched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. ⁴And Jesus saith unto him, ^cSee thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that ^dMoses commanded, ^ddfor a testimony unto them.

^5eAnd when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him, ⁶And saying, Lord, my servant ⁿlieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented. ⁷And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him. ⁸The centurion answered and said, Lord, ^fI am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but ^ffspeak the word only, and my servant shall be healed. ⁹For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. ¹⁰When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, ^gI have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. ¹¹And I say unto you, That ^hmany shall come from the east and west, and ^hhshall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. ¹²But ⁱthe children of the kingdom ^jshall be cast out into outer darkness: ^kthere shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. ¹³And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour.

^14lAnd when Jesus was come into Peter’s house, he saw ^mhis wife’s mother ⁿlaid, and sick of a fever. ¹⁵And he ^bbtouched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them. ¹⁶When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were ^opossessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: ¹⁷That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, ^pHimself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.

¹⁸Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, ^qhe gave commandment to depart unto the other side. ¹⁹And ^ra certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. ²⁰And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. ²¹And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, ^ssuffer me first to go and bury my father. ²²But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.

^23tAnd when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him. ²⁴And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. ²⁵And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish. ²⁶And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, ^uO ye of little faith? Then ^vhe arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. ²⁷But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!

²⁸And when he was come to the other side into the country of the ^wGergesenes, there met him ^xtwo ^ypossessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way. ²⁹And, behold, they cried out, saying, ^zWhat have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou ^zzSon of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time? ³⁰And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding. ³¹So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine. ³²And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters. ³³And they that kept them fled, and went their ways into the city, and told every thing, and what was befallen to the ^ypossessed of the devils. ³⁴And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, ^athey besought him that he would depart out of their coasts.
