Matthew 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.

Matthew 8
8
1 When he came down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him. 2Behold, a leper came to him and worshiped him, saying, “Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean.”
3Yeshua stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I want to. Be made clean.” Immediately his leprosy was cleansed. 4Yeshua said to him, “See that you tell nobody; but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”
5 When he came into Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking him for help, 6saying, “Lord, my servant lies in the house paralyzed, grievously tormented.”
7Yeshua said to him, “I will come and heal him.”
8 The centurion answered, “Lord, I’m not worthy for you to come under my roof. Just say the word, and my servant will be healed. 9For I am also a man under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and tell another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and tell my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
10 When Yeshua heard it, he marveled and said to those who followed, “Most certainly I tell you, I haven’t found so great a faith, not even in Israel. 11I tell you that many will come from the east and the west, and will sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the Kingdom of Heaven, 12but the children of the Kingdom will be thrown out into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” 13Yeshua said to the centurion, “Go your way. Let it be done for you as you have believed.” His servant was healed in that hour.
14 When Yeshua came into Peter’s house, he saw his wife’s mother lying sick with a fever. 15He touched her hand, and the fever left her. So she got up and served him.#8:15 TR reads “them” instead of “him” 16When evening came, they brought to him many possessed with demons. He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick, 17that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying, “He took our infirmities and bore our diseases.”#Isaiah 53:4
18 Now when Yeshua saw great multitudes around him, he gave the order to depart to the other side.
19 A scribe came and said to him, “Rabbi, I will follow you wherever you go.”
20Yeshua said to him, “The foxes have holes and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.”
21 Another of his disciples said to him, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.”
22 But Yeshua said to him, “Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead.”
23 When he got into a boat, his disciples followed him. 24Behold, a violent storm came up on the sea, so much that the boat was covered with the waves; but he was asleep. 25The disciples came to him and woke him up, saying, “Save us, Lord! We are dying!”
26 He said to them, “Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?” Then he got up, rebuked the wind and the sea, and there was a great calm.
27 The men marveled, saying, “What kind of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”
28 When he came to the other side, into the country of the Gergesenes,#8:28 NU reads “Gadarenes” two people possessed by demons met him there, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that nobody could pass that way. 29Behold, they cried out, saying, “What do we have to do with you, Yeshua, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?” 30Now there was a herd of many pigs feeding far away from them. 31The demons begged him, saying, “If you cast us out, permit us to go away into the herd of pigs.”
32 He said to them, “Go!”
They came out and went into the herd of pigs; and behold, the whole herd of pigs rushed down the cliff into the sea and died in the water. 33Those who fed them fled and went away into the city and told everything, including what happened to those who were possessed with demons. 34Behold, all the city came out to meet Yeshua. When they saw him, they begged that he would depart from their borders.
