Matthew 8:1–19
8 When He had come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed Him. 2 aAnd behold, a leper came and bworshiped Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”
3 Then Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately his leprosy cwas cleansed.
4 And Jesus said to him, d“See that you tell no one; but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that eMoses fcommanded, as a testimony to them.”
The Centurion’s Servant is Healed
5 gNow when Jesus had entered Capernaum, a hcenturion came to Him, pleading with Him, 6 saying, “Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, dreadfully tormented.”
7 And Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.”
8 The centurion answered and said, “Lord, iI am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only jspeak a word, and my servant will be healed. 9 For I also am 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 When Jesus heard it, He marveled, and said to those who followed, “Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel! 11 And I say to you that kmany will come from east and west, and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. 12 But lthe sons of the kingdom mwill be cast out into outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” 13 Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go your way; and as you have believed, so let it be done for you.” And his servant was healed that same hour.
Peter’s Mother-in-Law is Healed
14 nNow when Jesus had come into Peter’s house, He saw ohis wife’s mother lying sick with a fever. 15 So He touched her hand, and the fever left her. And she arose and served 1them.
16 pWhen evening had come, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed. 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:
q“He Himself took our infirmities
And bore our sicknesses.”
18 And when Jesus saw great multitudes about Him, He gave a command to depart to the other side. 19 rThen a certain scribe came and said to Him, “Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go.”
