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 Cleanses a Leper
(Mark 1.40-45; Luke 5.12-16)
1When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him. 2And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. 3And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. 4#Lev 14.1-32. And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, show thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
A Centurion's Servant Healed
(Luke 7.1-10)
5And when Jesus was entered into Caper´na-um, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him, 6and saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented. 7And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him. 8The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed. 9For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. 10When Jesus heard it, he marveled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. 11#Luke 13.29. And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven: 12#Matt 22.13; 25.30; Luke 13.28. but the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 13And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour.
Jesus Heals Peter's Mother-in-Law
(Mark 1.29-34; Luke 4.38-41)
14And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever. 15And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them. 16When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: 17#Isa 53.4. that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.
The Would-be Followers of Jesus
(Luke 9.57-62)
18Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandment to depart unto the other side. 19And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. 20And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where 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.
Jesus Calms a Storm
(Mark 4.35-41; Luke 8.22-25)
23And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him. 24And, behold, there arose a great tempest 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 saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. 27But the men marveled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!
The Gergesene Demoniacs
(Mark 5.1-20; Luke 8.26-39)
28And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Ger´gesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, 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 hither to torment us before the time? 30And there was a good way off from them a herd of many swine feeding. 31So the devils 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 they that kept them fled, and went their ways into the city, and told every thing, and what was befallen to the possessed of the devils. 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 coasts.
