Mattityahu 8
8
1And when Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach came down from the mountain, many multitudes followed him.
2And an ish metzorah (a leper) there was who approached him and fell down before Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, saying, Adoneinu, if you choose, you can make me tahor (clean).
3And, having stretched out his hand, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach touched him, saying, I am willing. Be made tahor. And immediately he was.
4And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to him, See that you tell no one, but go and show yourself to the kohen and offer the korban about which Moshe gave mitzvah as an edut to them.
5Now when Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach entered into K'far-Nachum, a centurion approached him, begging him
6and saying, Adoneinu, my servant has been bedridden in the house, paralyzed, in terrible tza'ar.
7And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to him, I am coming. I will bring him refuah (healing).
8The centurion answered, Adoneinu, I am not worthy that you might come under my roof, but only say the dvar, and my servant will receive the refuah (healing).
9For I also am a man under marut (authority), having soldiers subordinate to myself, 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.
10And having heard this, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was amazed and said to those who followed him, Omein, I say to you, in no one in Yisroel have I found such great emunah.
11And I say to you, that many from the mizrach (east) and the maarav (west) will come and will sit bimesibba (reclining at tish) with Avraham and Yitzchak and Ya'akov in the Malchut HaShomayim.
12But the Bnei HaMalchut will be thrown out into the outer choshech (darkness), where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.
13And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to the centurion, Go! According to your bitachon (trust), your emunah (faith), let it be for you. And his servant was given refuah (healing) punkt (exactly) at that hour.
14When Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach entered the bais (house) of Kefa, he saw the chamot (mother-in-law, shviger) bedridden and fever stricken.
15Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach touched her hand, and the fever left her. She then began functioning as his mesharetet (servant, lady minister), serving Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.
16And when erev (evening) had come, they brought to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach many possessed by shedim (evil spirits, demons), and he cast out the shedim with a dvar, and all the cholim (sick persons) he healed.
17Thus was fulfilled what was spoken by Yeshayah the Navi, saying, ACHEN CHOLAYEINU HU NASA UMACHOVEINU SVALAM#8:17 Isa 53:4 (Surely he took up our sicknesses and he carried away#8:17 T.N. like the Yom Kippur sa'ir l'Azazel scapegoat kapporah our sorrows).
18And when he saw the crowd around him, he gave orders to go over to the other side.
19A sofer (scribe, torah teacher) approached Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach and said, Rebbe, I will follow you wherever you go.
20And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to him, Foxes have holes and the OPH HASHOMAYIM#8:20 Job 35:11 (birds of heaven) have nests, but the Bar Enosh#8:20 Moshiach, Dan 7:13-14 does not have a place where he may lay his head.
21And another of Moshiachʼs talmidim said to him, Adoneinu, allow me first to go and bury my father.
22But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to him, Follow me, and permit the mesim (spiritually dead ones without hitkhadshut, spiritually unregenerate ones) to bury their own mesim (deceased ones, niftarim).
23And when he embarked into the sirah, Moshiachʼs talmidim followed him.
24And hinei! a great storm came up on the lake, so that the sirah (boat) was about to be covered by the waves. But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was sleeping.
25And Moshiachʼs talmidim approached and woke him, saying, Adoneinu, hoshieinu! We are perishing!
26And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to them, Why are you fearful, you ones of little emunah? Then, arising, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach rebuked the winds and the sea. And there was a great calm.
27And the men were astonished, saying, What sort of man is this!? That even the winds and the sea obey him!
28And when Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach came to the other side of the lake, in the land of the people of Gadara, he was met by two men possessed by shedim (demons); these men were coming out of the kevarim (tombs) of the burial caves and were so dangerous no one could pass by on that road.
29And they screamed, saying, Mah lanu valach, Ben HaElohim? (What to us and to you, Ben HaElohim?)#8:29 i.e., What business do you have with us, Ben HaElohim Have you come here to torture us before the time?#8:29 of the Yom HaDin, the Day of Judgment
30Now there was feeding far away from them a large herd of chazirim (swine).
31And the shedim begged him, saying, If you cast us out, send us into the herd of chazirim.
32And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, Go away! So the shedim, coming out, went away into the chazirim. And, hinei, all the herd of chazirim rushed down the bank into the lake, and they perished in the water.
33And the herdsmen of the chazirim fled, and, having gone away into the town, they told the whole story of what had happened to the men possessed by shedim.
34And hinei! The whole town came out to meet Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach. And seeing him, they begged him to depart from their area.

Matthew 8
8
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.
18And Jesus, seeing great crowds around him, commanded to depart to the other side. 19And a scribe came up and said to him, Teacher, I will follow thee whithersoever thou mayest go. 20And Jesus says to him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven roosting-places; but the Son of man has not where he may lay his head. 21But another of his disciples said to him, Lord, suffer me first to go away and bury my father. 22But Jesus said to him, Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead.
23And he went on board ship and his disciples followed him; 24and behold, the water became very agitated on the sea, so that the ship was covered by the waves; but he slept. 25And the disciples came and awoke him, saying, Lord save: we perish. 26And he says to them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then, having arisen, he rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. 27But the men were astonished, saying, What sort of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him?
28And there met him, when he came to the other side, to the country of the Gergesenes, two possessed by demons, coming out of the tombs, exceeding dangerous, so that no one was able to pass by that way. 29And behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Son of God? hast thou come here before the time to torment us? 30Now there was, a great way off from them, a herd of many swine feeding; 31and the demons besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, send us away into the herd of swine. 32And he said to them, Go. And they, going out, departed into the herd of swine; and lo, the whole herd of swine rushed down the steep slope into the sea, and died in the waters. 33But they that fed them fled, and went away into the city and related everything, and what had happened as to those possessed by demons. 34And behold, the whole city went out to meet Jesus; and when they saw him, they begged him to go away out of their coasts.
