1 Ora, descendo ele do monte, grandes multidões o seguiram. 2 E eis que um leproso, tendo-se aproximado, adorou-o, dizendo: Senhor, se quiseres, podes purificar-me. 3 E Jesus, estendendo a mão, tocou-lhe, dizendo: Quero, fica limpo! E imediatamente ele ficou limpo da sua lepra. 4 Disse-lhe, então, Jesus: Olha, não o digas a ninguém, mas vai mostrar-te ao sacerdote e fazer a oferta que Moisés ordenou, para servir de testemunho ao povo.

5 Tendo Jesus entrado em Cafarnaum, apresentou-se-lhe um centurião, implorando: 6 Senhor, o meu criado jaz em casa, de cama, paralítico, sofrendo horrivelmente. 7 Jesus lhe disse: Eu irei curá-lo. 8 Mas o centurião respondeu: Senhor, não sou digno de que entres em minha casa; mas apenas manda com uma palavra, e o meu rapaz será curado. 9 Pois também eu sou homem sujeito à autoridade, tenho soldados às minhas ordens e digo a este: vai, e ele vai; e a outro: vem, e ele vem; e ao meu servo: faze isto, e ele o faz. 10 Ouvindo isto, admirou-se Jesus e disse aos que o seguiam: Em verdade vos afirmo que nem mesmo em Israel achei fé como esta. 11 Digo-vos que muitos virão do Oriente e do Ocidente e tomarão lugares à mesa com Abraão, Isaque e Jacó no reino dos céus. 12 Ao passo que os filhos do reino serão lançados para fora, nas trevas; ali haverá choro e ranger de dentes. 13 Então, disse Jesus ao centurião: Vai-te, e seja feito conforme a tua fé. E, naquela mesma hora, o servo foi curado.

14 Tendo Jesus chegado à casa de Pedro, viu a sogra deste acamada e ardendo em febre. 15 Mas Jesus tomou-a pela mão, e a febre a deixou. Ela se levantou e passou a servi-lo.

16 Chegada a tarde, trouxeram-lhe muitos endemoninhados; e ele meramente com a palavra expeliu os espíritos e curou todos os que estavam doentes; 17 para que se cumprisse o que fora dito por intermédio do profeta Isaías:

Ele mesmo tomou as nossas enfermidades e carregou com as nossas doenças.

18 Vendo Jesus muita gente ao seu redor, ordenou que passassem para a outra margem. 19 Então, aproximando-se dele um escriba, disse-lhe: Mestre, seguir-te-ei para onde quer que fores. 20 Mas Jesus lhe respondeu: As raposas têm seus covis, e as aves do céu, ninhos; mas o Filho do Homem não tem onde reclinar a cabeça. 21 E outro dos discípulos lhe disse: Senhor, permite-me ir primeiro sepultar meu pai. 22 Replicou-lhe, porém, Jesus: Segue-me, e deixa aos mortos o sepultar os seus próprios mortos.

23 Então, entrando ele no barco, seus discípulos o seguiram. 24 E eis que sobreveio no mar uma grande tempestade, de sorte que o barco era varrido pelas ondas. Entretanto, Jesus dormia. 25 Mas os discípulos vieram acordá-lo, clamando: Senhor, salva-nos! Perecemos! 26 Perguntou-lhes, então, Jesus: Por que sois tímidos, homens de pequena fé? E, levantando-se, repreendeu os ventos e o mar; e fez-se grande bonança. 27 E maravilharam-se os homens, dizendo: Quem é este que até os ventos e o mar lhe obedecem?

28 Tendo ele chegado à outra margem, à terra dos gadarenos, vieram-lhe ao encontro dois endemoninhados, saindo dentre os sepulcros, e a tal ponto furiosos, que ninguém podia passar por aquele caminho. 29 E eis que gritaram: Que temos nós contigo, ó Filho de Deus! Vieste aqui atormentar-nos antes do tempo? 30 Ora, andava pastando, não longe deles, uma grande manada de porcos. 31 Então, os demônios lhe rogavam: Se nos expeles, manda-nos para a manada de porcos. 32 Pois ide, ordenou-lhes Jesus. E eles, saindo, passaram para os porcos; e eis que toda a manada se precipitou, despenhadeiro abaixo, para dentro do mar, e nas águas pereceram. 33 Fugiram os porqueiros e, chegando à cidade, contaram todas estas coisas e o que acontecera aos endemoninhados. 34 Então, a cidade toda saiu para encontrar-se com Jesus; e, vendo-o, lhe rogaram que se retirasse da terra deles.

1 And when he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him. 2 And behold, there came to him a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. 3 And he stretched forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou made clean. And straightway his leprosy was cleansed. 4 And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go, show thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

5 And when he was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him, 6 and saying, Lord, my servant lieth in the house sick of the palsy, grievously tormented. 7 And he saith unto him, I will come and heal him. 8 And the centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof; but only say the word, and my servant shall be healed. 9 For I also am a man under authority, having under myself soldiers: and I say to this one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. 10 And when Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. 11 And I say unto 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: 12 but the sons of the kingdom shall be cast forth into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. 13 And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And the servant was healed in that hour.

14 And when Jesus was come into Peter’s house, he saw his wife’s mother lying sick of a fever. 15 And he touched her hand, and the fever left her; and she arose, and ministered unto him. 16 And when even was come, they brought unto him many possessed with demons: and he cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all that were sick: 17 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our diseases.

18 Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandment to depart unto the other side. 19 And there came a scribe, and said unto him, Teacher, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. 20 And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. 21 And another of the disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. 22 But Jesus saith unto him, Follow me; and leave the dead to bury their own dead.

23 And when he was entered into a boat, his disciples followed him. 24 And behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the boat was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. 25 And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Save, Lord; we perish. 26 And 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. 27 And the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him?

28 And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gadarenes, there met him two possessed with demons, coming forth out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man could pass by that way. 29 And behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time? 30 Now there was afar off from them a herd of many swine feeding. 31 And the demons besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, send us away into the herd of swine. 32 And he said unto 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. 33 And they that fed them fled, and went away into the city, and told everything, and what was befallen to them that were possessed with demons. 34 And behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart from their borders.

1 When Jesus came down from the mountainside, large crowds followed him.

2 A man with leprosy "came and knelt before him and said, "Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean."

3 Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. "I am willing," he said. "Be clean!" Immediately he was cleansed of his leprosy.

4 Then Jesus said to him, "See that you don't tell anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the gift Moses commanded, as a testimony to them."

5 When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking for help.

6 "Lord," he said, "my servant lies at home paralyzed, suffering terribly."

7 Jesus said to him, "Shall I come and heal him?"

8 The centurion replied, "Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

9 For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, 'Go,' and he goes; and that one, 'Come,' and he comes. I say to my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it."

10 When Jesus heard this, he was amazed and said to those following him, "Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith.

11 I say to you that many will come from the east and the west, and will take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.

12 But the subjects of the kingdom will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."

13 Then Jesus said to the centurion, "Go! Let it be done just as you believed it would." And his servant was healed at that moment.

14 When Jesus came into Peter's house, he saw Peter's mother-in-law lying in bed with a fever.

15 He touched her hand and the fever left her, and she got up and began to wait on him.

16 When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to him, and he drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick.

17 This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: "He took up our infirmities and bore our diseases." [^2]

18 When Jesus saw the crowd around him, he gave orders to cross to the other side of the lake.

19 Then a teacher of the law came to him and said, "Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go."

20 Jesus replied, "Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head."

21 Another disciple said to him, "Lord, first let me go and bury my father."

22 But Jesus told him, "Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead."

23 Then he got into the boat and his disciples followed him.

24 Suddenly a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping.

25 The disciples went and woke him, saying, "Lord, save us! We're going to drown!"

26 He replied, "You of little faith, why are you so afraid?" Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.

27 The men were amazed and asked, "What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!"

28 When he arrived at the other side in the region of the Gadarenes, "two demon-possessed men coming from the tombs met him. They were so violent that no one could pass that way.

29 "What do you want with us, Son of God?" they shouted. "Have you come here to torture us before the appointed time?"

30 Some distance from them a large herd of pigs was feeding.

31 The demons begged Jesus, "If you drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs."

32 He said to them, "Go!" So they came out and went into the pigs, and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and died in the water.

33 Those tending the pigs ran off, went into the town and reported all this, including what had happened to the demon-possessed men.

34 Then the whole town went out to meet Jesus. And when they saw him, they pleaded with him to leave their region.
