Matthew 8

1And when he had come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him. 2And behold, there came to him a leper and bowed down before him, saying, Lord, if you will, you can make me clean. 3And he stretched forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be made clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. 4And Yeshua says to him, See that you tell no man; but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony to them. 5And when he had entered into Capernaum, there came to him a centurion, beseeching him, 6and saying, Lord, my servant lies in the house paralyzed, terribly tormented. 7And he says to him, I will come and heal him. 8And the centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that you should come under my roof; but only say the word, and my servant shall be healed. 9For I also am a man under authority, having under myself soldiers: 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 when Yeshua heard it, he marvelled, and said to those who followed, Truly I say to you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. 11And I say to you, that many shall come from the east and the west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven: 12but the sons of the kingdom shall be cast forth into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. 13And Yeshua said to the centurion, Go your way; as you have believed, so be it done to you. And the servant was healed in that hour. 14And when Yeshua had come into Peter’s house, he saw his wife’s mother lying sick with a fever. 15And he touched her hand, and the fever left her; and she arose, and ministered to him. 16And when evening had come, they brought to him many possessed with demons: and 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, Himself took our infirmities, and bore our diseases. 18Now when Yeshua saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandment to depart to the other side. 19And there came a scribe, and said to him, Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go. 20And Yeshua says to him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven have nests; but the Son of man has nowhere to lay his head. 21And another of the disciples said to him, Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father. 22But Yeshua says to him, Follow me; and leave the dead to bury their own dead. 23And when he had entered into a boat, his disciples followed him. 24And behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, so that the boat was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. 25And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Save, Lord; we perish. 26And he says to them, Why are you fearful, O you of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. 27And the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him? 28And when he had come to the other side into the country of the Gadarenes, there met him two possessed with demons, coming forth out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that no man could pass by that way. 29And behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with you, you Son of God? have you come here to torment us before the time? 30Now there was far off from them a herd of many swine feeding. 31And the demons begged him, saying, If you cast us out, send us away into the herd of swine. 32And he said to them, Go. And they came out, and went into the swine: and behold, the whole herd rushed down the steep into the sea, and perished in the waters. 33And those who fed them fled, and went away into the city, and told everything, and what had happened to those who were possessed with demons. 34And behold, all the city came out to meet Yeshua: and when they saw him, they begged him that he would depart from their borders.
