Matthew 8
1¶ When he was come down from the mountain, many people followed him.
2And, behold, a leper came and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou art willing, thou art able to cleanse me.
3And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
4Then Jesus said unto him, See thou tell no one; but go, show thyself to the priest and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
5¶ And when Jesus was entering into Capernaum, a centurion came unto him, beseeching him,
6and saying, Lord, my servant lies at home paralyzed, grievously tormented.
7And Jesus said unto him, I will come and heal him.
8The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou should come under my roof; but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.
9For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me; and I say to this man, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my slave, Do this, and he does it.
10When Jesus heard it, he marvelled and said to those that followed, Verily I say unto you that not even in Israel have I found such faith.
11But I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west and shall sit down at the table with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of the heavens.
12But the sons of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
13Then Jesus said unto the centurion, Go, and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in that same hour.
14¶ And when Jesus was come into Peter’s house, he saw his wife’s mother lying in bed and with fever.
15And he touched her hand, and the fever left her; and she arose and ministered unto them.
16When evening was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils, and he cast out the spirits with the word and healed all that were sick
17that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying, He took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses.
18¶ Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he commanded that they depart unto the other side.
19And a certain scribe came and said unto him, Master, I will follow thee wherever thou goest.
20And Jesus said unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven have nests, but the Son of man has nowhere to lay his head.
21And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
22But Jesus said unto him, Follow me, and let the dead bury their dead.
23¶ And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him.
24And, behold, there arose a great moving 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 said unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then, awake, he 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!
28¶ And when he was come to the other side, into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with demons, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.
29And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? Art thou come here to torment us before the time?
30And there was a good way off from them a herd of many swine feeding.
31So the demons 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 those that fed them fled and went into the city and told everything and what was befallen to the ones possessed of the demons.
34And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus; and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart out of their borders.

The Leper’s Prayer
(Leviticus 14:1–32; Mark 1:40–45; Luke 5:12–16)
1When Jesus came down from the mountain, large crowds followed Him. 2Suddenly a leper #8:2 A leper was one afflicted with a skin disease. See Leviticus 13. came and knelt before Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”
3Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!” And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
4Then Jesus instructed him, “See that you don’t tell anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the gift prescribed by Moses, as a testimony to them.”#8:4 See Leviticus 14:1–32.
The Faith of the Centurion
(Luke 7:1–10; John 4:43–54)
5When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came and pleaded with Him, 6“Lord, my servant #8:6 Or child; also in verse 13 lies at home, paralyzed and in terrible agony.”
7“I will go and heal him,” Jesus replied.
8The centurion answered, “Lord, I am not worthy to have You come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed. 9For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell one to go, and he goes; and another to come, and he comes. I tell my servant to do something, and he does it.”
10When Jesus heard this, He marveled and said to those following Him, “Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith. 11I say to you that many will come from the east and the west to share the banquet with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. 12But the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
13Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go! As you have believed, so will it be done for you.” And his servant was healed at that very hour.
Jesus Heals at Peter’s House
(Mark 1:29–34; Luke 4:38–41)
14When Jesus arrived at Peter’s house, He saw Peter’s mother-in-law sick in bed with a fever. 15So He touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she got up and began to serve them.
16When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to Jesus, and He drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick. 17This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:
“He took on our infirmities
and carried our diseases.”#8:17 Isaiah 53:4
The Cost of Discipleship
(Luke 9:57–62; Luke 14:25–33; John 6:59–66)
18When Jesus saw a large crowd around Him, He gave orders to cross to the other side of the sea.#8:18 That is, the Sea of Galilee; Greek to the other side 19And one of the scribes came to Him and said, “Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go.”
20Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head.”
21Another of His disciples requested, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”
22But Jesus told him, “Follow Me, and let the dead bury their own dead.”
Jesus Calms the Storm
(Psalms 107:1–43; Mark 4:35–41; Luke 8:22–25)
23When He got into the boat, His disciples followed Him. 24Suddenly a violent storm came up on the sea, so that the boat was engulfed by the waves; but Jesus was sleeping. 25The disciples went and woke Him, saying, “Lord, save us! We are perishing!”
26“You of little faith,” Jesus replied, “why are you so afraid?” Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and it was perfectly calm.
27The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the sea obey Him!”
The Demons and the Pigs
(Mark 5:1–20; Luke 8:26–39)
28When Jesus arrived on the other side in the region of the Gadarenes,#8:28 BYZ, TR, and GOC Gergesenes; other manuscripts Gerasenes He was met by two demon-possessed men coming from the tombs. They were so violent that no one could pass that way.
29“What do You want with us, Son of God?” they shouted. “Have You come here to torture us before the appointed time?”
30In the distance a large herd of pigs was feeding. 31So the demons begged Jesus, “If You drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs.”
32“Go!” He told them. So they came out and went into the pigs, and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea and died in the waters.
33Those tending the pigs ran off into the town and reported all this, including the account of the demon-possessed men. 34Then the whole town went out to meet Jesus. And when they saw Him, they begged Him to leave their region.
