Matthew 8:2–34

^2aAnd behold, a leper came and ^bworshiped Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”

³Then Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately his leprosy ^cwas cleansed.

⁴And 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

Luke 7:1–10

^5gNow when Jesus had entered Capernaum, a ^hcenturion came to Him, pleading with Him, ⁶saying, “Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, dreadfully tormented.”

⁷And Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.”

⁸The 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. ⁹For 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.”

¹⁰When 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! ¹¹And 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. ¹²But ^lthe sons of the kingdom ^mwill be cast out into outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” ¹³Then 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

Mark 1:29–34; Luke 4:38–41

¹⁴ⁿNow when Jesus had come into Peter’s house, He saw ^ohis wife’s mother lying sick with a fever. ¹⁵So He touched her hand, and the fever left her. And she arose and served ¹them.

^16pWhen 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, ¹⁷that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying:

^q“He Himself took our infirmities

And bore our sicknesses.”

Demands of Discipleship

Luke 9:57–62

¹⁸And when Jesus saw great multitudes about Him, He gave a command to depart to the other side. ^19rThen a certain scribe came and said to Him, “Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go.”

²⁰And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.”

^21sThen another of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, ^tlet me first go and bury my father.”

²²But Jesus said to him, “Follow Me, and let the dead bury their own dead.”

The Sea is Stilled

Mark 4:35–41; Luke 8:22–25

²³Now when He got into a boat, His disciples followed Him. ^24uAnd suddenly a great tempest arose on the sea, so that the boat was covered with the waves. But He was asleep. ²⁵Then His disciples came to Him and awoke Him, saying, “Lord, save us! We are perishing!”

²⁶But He said to them, “Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?” Then ^vHe arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. ²⁷So the men marveled, saying, ²“Who can this be, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?”

Demons are Cast into Swine

Mark 5:1–17; Luke 8:26–37

^28wWhen He had come to the other side, to the country of the ³Gergesenes, there met Him two demon-possessed men, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that no one could pass that way. ²⁹And suddenly they cried out, saying, “What have we to do with You, Jesus, You Son of God? Have You come here to torment us before the time?”

³⁰Now a good way off from them there was a herd of many swine feeding. ³¹So the demons begged Him, saying, “If You cast us out, ⁴permit us to go away into the herd of swine.”

³²And He said to them, “Go.” So when they had come out, they went into the herd of swine. And suddenly the whole herd of swine ran violently down the steep place into the sea, and perished in the water.

³³Then those who kept them fled; and they went away into the city and told everything, including what had happened to the demon-possessed men. ³⁴And behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus. And when they saw Him, ^xthey begged Him to depart from their region.
