Matthew 8
8
CHAPTER 8
1But when Jesus was come down from the hill, much people pursued him [or many companies followed him].
2And lo! a leprous man came, and worshipped him, and said, Lord, if thou wilt, thou mayest make me clean.
3And Jesus held forth the hand, and touched him, and said, I will, be thou made clean. And anon the leprosy of him was cleansed.
4And Jesus said to him, See, say thou to no man; but go, show thee to the priests, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, in witnessing to them.
5And when he had entered into Capernaum, the centurion nighed to him, and prayed him,
6and said, Lord, my child lieth in the house sick on [or in] the palsy, and is evil tormented.
7And Jesus said to him, I shall come, and shall heal him.
8And the centurion answered, and said to him, Lord, I am not worthy, that thou enter under my roof; but only say thou by word, and my child shall be healed.
9For why I am a man ordained under power, and have knights under me; and I say to this, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
10And Jesus heard these things, and wondered, and said to men that pursued him, Truly I say to you, I found not so great faith in Israel.
11And I say to you, that many shall come from the east and the west, and shall rest with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heavens;
12but the sons of the realm shall be cast out into outer-more [or uttermost] darknesses; there shall be weeping, and grinding of teeth.
13And Jesus said to the centurion, Go, and as thou hast believed, be it done to thee. And the child was healed from that hour.
14And when Jesus was come into the house of Simon Peter, he saw his wife’s mother lying, and shaken [or shaking] with fevers.
15And he touched her hand, and the fever left her; and she rose, and served them.
16And when it was even, they brought to him many that had devils, and he casted out spirits by word, and healed all that were evil-at-ease [or having sickness];
17that it were fulfilled, that was said by Isaiah, the prophet, saying, He took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.
18And Jesus saw much people about him, and bade [or commanded] his disciples [to] go over the water.
19And a scribe nighed, and said to him, Master, I shall pursue thee, whither ever thou shalt go.
20And Jesus said to him, Foxes have dens [or burrows], and birds of the air have nests, but man’s Son hath not wherein to rest his head [or where he shall rest his head].
21Another of his disciples said to him, Lord, suffer me to go first, and bury my father.
22But Jesus said to him, Pursue thou me, and let the dead men bury their dead men.
23And when he was gone up into a little ship, his disciples pursued him.
24And lo! a great stirring was made in the sea, so that the ship was covered with waves; but he slept.
25And his disciples came to him, and raised him, and said, Lord, save us; we perish.
26And Jesus said to them, What be ye of little faith aghast [or afeared]? Then he rose [up], and commanded to the winds and the sea, and a great peaceableness was made.
27And men wondered, and said, What manner man is this, for the winds and the sea obey to him?
28And when he was come over the water into the country of men of Gergesenes, two men met him, that had devils, and came out of graves, full mad, [or going out from burials, full fierce, or wicked], so that no man might go by that way.
29And lo! they cried, and said, What to us and to thee, Jesus, the Son of God? art thou come hither before the time to torment us?
30And not far from them was a flock of many swine [or a drove of many hogs] pasturing.
31And the devils prayed him, and said, If thou castest out us from hence, send us into the drove of swine [or hogs].
32And he said to them, Go ye. And they went out, and went into the swine [or the hogs]; and lo! in a great rush all the drove went headlong into the sea, and they were dead in the waters.
33And the herders fled away, and came into the city, and told all these things, and of them that had the fiends [or the devils].
34And lo! all the city went out to meet Jesus; and when they had seen him, they prayed [him], that he would pass from their coasts.

Jesus Heals a Sick Man
1When Jesus came down from the hill, great crowds followed him. 2Then a man with a skin disease came to Jesus. The man bowed down before him and said, “Lord, you can heal me if you will.”
3Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man and said, “I will. Be healed!” And immediately the man was healed from his disease. 4Then Jesus said to him, “Don’t tell anyone about this. But go and show yourself to the priest and offer the gift Moses commanded for people who are made well. This will show the people what I have done.”
Jesus Heals a Soldier’s Servant
5When Jesus entered the city of Capernaum, an army officer came to him, begging for help. 6The officer said, “Lord, my servant is at home in bed. He can’t move his body and is in much pain.”
7Jesus said to the officer, “I will go and heal him.”
8The officer answered, “Lord, I am not worthy for you to come into my house. You only need to command it, and my servant will be healed. 9I, too, am a man under the authority of others, and I have soldiers under my command. I tell one soldier, ‘Go,’ and he goes. I tell another soldier, ‘Come,’ and he comes. I say to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and my servant does it.
10When Jesus heard this, he was amazed. He said to those who were following him, “I tell you the truth, this is the greatest faith I have found, even in Israel. 11Many people will come from the east and from the west and will sit and eat with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. 12But those people who should be in the kingdom will be thrown outside into the darkness, where people will cry and grind their teeth with pain.”
13Then Jesus said to the officer, “Go home. Your servant will be healed just as you believed he would.” And his servant was healed that same hour.
Jesus Heals Many People
14When Jesus went to Peter’s house, he saw that Peter’s mother-in-law was sick in bed with a fever. 15Jesus touched her hand, and the fever left her. Then she stood up and began to serve Jesus.
16That evening people brought to Jesus many who had demons. Jesus spoke and the demons left them, and he healed all the sick. 17He did these things to bring about what Isaiah the prophet had said:
“He took our suffering on him
and carried our diseases.”#Isaiah 53:4
People Want to Follow Jesus
18When Jesus saw the crowd around him, he told his followers to go to the other side of the lake. 19Then a teacher of the law came to Jesus and said, “Teacher, I will follow you any place you go.”
20Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes to live in, and the birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to rest his head.”
21Another man, one of Jesus’ followers, said to him, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”
22But Jesus told him, “Follow me, and let the people who are dead bury their own dead.”
Jesus Calms a Storm
23Jesus got into a boat, and his followers went with him. 24A great storm arose on the lake so that waves covered the boat, but Jesus was sleeping. 25His followers went to him and woke him, saying, “Lord, save us! We will drown!”
26Jesus answered, “Why are you afraid? You don’t have enough faith.” Then Jesus got up and gave a command to the wind and the waves, and it became completely calm.
27The men were amazed and said, “What kind of man is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!”
Jesus Heals Two Men with Demons
28When Jesus arrived at the other side of the lake in the area of the Gadarene people, two men who had demons in them met him. These men lived in the burial caves and were so dangerous that people could not use the road by those caves. 29They shouted, “What do you want with us, Son of God? Did you come here to torture us before the right time?”
30Near that place there was a large herd of pigs feeding. 31The demons begged Jesus, “If you make us leave these men, please send us into that herd of pigs.”
32Jesus said to them, “Go!” So the demons left the men and went into the pigs. Then the whole herd rushed down the hill into the lake and were drowned. 33The herdsmen ran away and went into town, where they told about all of this and what had happened to the men who had demons. 34Then the whole town went out to see Jesus. When they saw him, they begged him to leave their area.
