Matthew 8

1Nowe when he was come downe from the mountaine, great multitudes followed him. 2And loe, there came a Leper and worshipped him, saying, Master, if thou wilt, thou canst make me cleane. 3And Iesus putting foorth his hand, touched him, saying, I will, be thou cleane: and immediatly his leprosie was clensed. 4Then Iesus saide vnto him, See thou tell no man, but goe, and shewe thy selfe vnto the Priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a witnesse to them. 5When Iesus was entred into Capernaum, there came vnto him a Centurion, beseeching him, 6And saide, Master, my seruant lieth sicke at home of the palsie, and is grieuously pained. 7And Iesus saide vnto him, I will come and heale him. 8But the Centurion answered, saying, Master, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come vnder my roofe: but speake the worde onely, and my seruant shall be healed. 9For I am a man also vnder the authoritie of an other, and haue souldiers vnder me: and I say to one, Goe, and he goeth: and to another, Come, and he commeth: and to my seruant, Doe this, and he doeth it. 10When Iesus heard that, he marueiled, and said to them that folowed him, Verely, I say vnto you, I haue not found so great faith, euen in Israel. 11But I say vnto you, that many shall come from the East and West, and shall sit downe with Abraham, and Isaac, and Iacob, in the kingdome of heauen. 12And the children of the kingdome shall be cast out into vtter darkenes: there shalbe weeping and gnashing of teeth. 13Then Iesus saide vnto the Centurion, Goe thy way, and as thou hast beleeued, so be it vnto thee, And his seruant was healed the same houre. 14And when Iesus came to Peters house, he sawe his wiues mother layed downe, and sicke of a feuer. 15And he touched her hande, and the feuer left her: so she arose, and ministred vnto them. 16When the Euen was come, they brought vnto him many that were possessed with deuils: and he cast out the spirits with his worde, and healed all that were sicke, 17That it might be fulfilled, which was spoken by Esaias the Prophet, saying, He tooke our infirmities, and bare our sickenesses. 18And when Iesus sawe great multitudes of people about him, he commanded them to goe ouer the water. 19Then came there a certaine Scribe, and said vnto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoeuer thou goest. 20But Iesus saide vnto him, The foxes haue holes, and the birdes of the heauen haue nestes, but the Sonne of man hath not whereon to rest his head. 21And another of his disciples saide vnto him, Master, suffer me first to goe, and burie my father. 22But Iesus said vnto him, Followe me, and let the dead burie their dead. 23And when he was entred into ye ship, his disciples followed him. 24And beholde, there arose a great tempest in the sea, so that the ship was couered with waues: but he was a sleepe. 25Then his disciples came, and awoke him, saying, Master, saue vs: we perish. 26And he said vnto them, Why are ye fearefull, O ye of litle faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea: and so there was a great calme. 27And the men marueiled, saying, What man is this, that both the windes and the sea obey him! 28And when he was come to the other side into ye countrey of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with deuils, which came out of the graues very fierce, so that no man might goe by that way. 29And beholde, they cryed out, saying, Iesus the sonne of God, what haue we to do with thee? Art thou come hither to tormet vs before ye time? 30Nowe there was, afarre off from them, a great heard of swine feeding. 31And the deuils besought him, saying, If thou cast vs out, suffer vs to goe into the heard of swine. 32And he said vnto them, Go. So they went out and departed into the heard of swine: and beholde, the whole heard of swine ranne headlong into the sea, and died in the water. 33Then the heardmen fled: and when they were come into the citie, they tolde all things, and what was become of them that were possessed with the deuils. 34And beholde, all ye citie came out to meete Iesus: and when they sawe him, they besought him to depart out of their coastes.

Jesus Cleanses a Leper; The Centurion’s Faith
1When Jesus came down from the mountain, large crowds #See note 4:19.followed Him. 2And a leper came up to Him and bowed down before Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You are able to make me clean (well).” 3Jesus reached out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately his leprosy was cleansed. 4And Jesus said to him, “See that you tell no one [about this]; but go, show yourself to the priest [for inspection] and present the offering that Moses commanded, as a testimony (evidence) to them [of your healing].”
5As Jesus went into Capernaum, a #A Roman military officer commanding a hundred men.centurion came up to Him, begging Him [for help], 6and saying, “Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, with intense and terrible, tormenting pain.” 7Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.” 8But the centurion replied to Him, “Lord, I am not worthy to have You come under my roof, but only say the word, and my servant will be healed. 9For I also am a man subject to authority [of a higher rank], with soldiers subject to me; and I say to one, ‘Go!’ and he goes, and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes, and to my slave, ‘Do this!’ and he does it.” 10When Jesus heard this, He was amazed and said to those who were following Him, “I tell you truthfully, I have not found such great faith [as this] with anyone in Israel. 11I say to you that many [Gentiles] will come from east and west, and will sit down [to feast at the table, and enjoy God’s promises] with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven [because they accepted Me as Savior], 12while the sons and heirs of the kingdom [the descendants of Abraham who will not recognize Me as Messiah] will be thrown out into the outer darkness; in that place [which is farthest removed from the kingdom] there will be weeping [in sorrow and pain] and grinding of teeth [in distress and anger].” 13Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go; it will be done for you as you have believed.” And the servant was restored to health at that very hour.
Peter’s Mother-in-law and Many Others Healed
14When Jesus went into Peter’s house [in Capernaum], He saw Peter’s mother-in-law lying sick in bed with a fever. 15He touched her hand and the fever left her; and she got up and served Him. 16When evening came, they brought to Him many who were under the power of demons; and He cast out the evil spirits with a word, and restored to health all who were sick [exhibiting His authority as Messiah], 17so that He fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah: “He Himself took our infirmities [upon Himself] and carried away our diseases.”
Discipleship Tested
18Now when Jesus saw a crowd around Him, He gave orders to cast off for the other side of the Sea of Galilee. 19Then [on His way to board the boat] a scribe [who was a respected and authoritative interpreter of the Law] came and said to Him, “Master, I will accompany You [as Your student] wherever You go.” 20Jesus replied to him, “Foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the #Jesus uses this title to identify Himself as Messiah. It appears over eighty times in the Gospels.Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.” 21Another of the #Disciple does not always refer to a true believer, but may also be used to refer to someone who is merely a student or learner.disciples said to Him, “Lord, let me first go and #Possibly an idiom meaning something like, “after my father dies and after I observe the traditional mourning period and after I receive my inheritance, then I will do such and such.” This was probably nothing more than a petty excuse to avoid making a commitment to Jesus and had nothing to do with the condition of the man’s father (who was probably fine).bury my father (collect my inheritance).” 22But Jesus said to him, “Follow Me [believing in Me as Master and Teacher], and allow the [spiritually] dead to bury their own dead.”
23When He got into the boat, His disciples followed Him. 24And suddenly a violent storm arose on the sea, so that the boat was being covered by the waves; but Jesus was sleeping. 25And the disciples went and woke Him, saying, “Lord, save us, we are going to die!” 26He said to them, “Why are you afraid, you men of little faith?” Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was [at once] a great and wonderful calm [a perfect peacefulness]. 27The men wondered in amazement, saying, “What kind of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?”
Jesus Casts Out Demons
28When He arrived at the other side in the country of the Gadarenes, two demon-possessed men coming out of the tombs met Him. They were so extremely fierce and violent that no one could pass by that way. 29And they screamed out, “#Lit What to us and to you, originally a Hebrew idiom which does not translate well into English. The idiom is meant to bluntly inform the other person that the speaker is not aware of any obligation between them, and does not wish to deal with the other person (cf 2 Sam 16:10). It can also express the speaker’s protest that he has not harmed the other individual, and therefore should not suffer harm at the hands of that person (cf 1 Kin 17:18).What business do we have [in common] with each other, Son of God? Have You come to torment us before the appointed time [of judgment]?” 30Some distance from them a large herd of pigs was grazing. 31The demons began begging Him, “If You drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs.” 32And He said to them, “Go!” So they came out [of the men] and went into the pigs, and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea and died in the water. 33The herdsmen ran away, and went to the city and reported everything, including what had happened to the men under the power of demons. 34And the whole city came out to meet Jesus; and as soon as they saw Him, they begged Him to leave their region.
