1 Quando Jesus desceu do monte, acompanharam-no grandes multidões.

2 Aproximando-se um leproso, adorava-o, dizendo: Senhor, se quiseres, bem podes tornar-me limpo.

3 Jesus, estendendo a mão, tocou-o, dizendo: Quero; fica limpo. No mesmo instante ficou limpa a sua lepra.

4 Disse-lhe Jesus: Olha, não o digas a alguém, mas vai mostrar-te ao sacerdote e fazer a oferta que Moisés ordenou, para lhes servir de testemunho.

5 Tendo Jesus entrado em Cafarnaum, chegou-se a ele um centurião e rogou-lhe:

6 Senhor, o meu criado jaz em casa paralítico, padecendo horrivelmente.

7 Disse-lhe ele: Eu irei curá-lo.

8 Mas o centurião respondeu: Senhor, não sou digno de que entres em minha casa; porém dize somente uma palavra, e o meu criado há de sarar.

9 Pois também eu sou homem sujeito à autoridade, e tenho soldados às minhas ordens, e digo a um: Vai ali, e ele vai; a outro: Vem cá, e ele vem; e ao meu servo: Faze isto, e ele o faz.

10 Jesus, ouvindo isto, admirou-se e disse aos que o acompanhavam: Em verdade vos afirmo que nem mesmo em Israel achei tamanha fé.

11 Digo-vos que muitos virão do oriente e do ocidente, e hão de sentar-se com Abraão, Isaque e Jacó no reino dos céus;

12 mas os filhos do reino serão lançados nas trevas exteriores; ali haverá o choro e o ranger de dentes.

13 Disse Jesus ao centurião: Vai-te e como creste, assim te seja feito. Naquela mesma hora sarou o criado.

14 Tendo entrado Jesus na casa de Pedro, viu que a sogra deste estava de cama e com febre;

15 e tocando-lhe a mão, a febre a deixou. Ela se levantou, e o servia.

16 À tarde trouxeram-lhe muitos endemoninhados; ele com a sua palavra expeliu os espíritos, e curou todos os doentes;

17 para se cumprir o que foi dito pelo profeta Isaías: Ele mesmo tomou as nossas enfermidades e carregou com as nossas doenças.

18 Vendo Jesus uma multidão ao redor de si, mandou passar para a outra margem do lago.

19 Chegou um escriba e disse-lhe: Mestre, seguir-te-ei para onde quer que fores.

20 Respondeu-lhe Jesus: As raposas têm covis, e as aves do céu pousos; mas o Filho do homem não tem onde reclinar a cabeça.

21 Um outro discípulo disse-lhe: Senhor, deixa-me ir primeiro enterrar meu pai.

22 Porém Jesus respondeu-lhe: Segue-me, e deixa que os mortos enterrem os seus mortos.

23 Entrando ele na barca, seus discípulos acompanharam-no.

24 Eis que se levantou no mar tão grande tempestade, que as ondas cobriam a barca; mas Jesus dormia.

25 Os discípulos, aproximando-se, acordaram-no, dizendo: Salva-nos, Senhor, que perecemos.

26 Ele lhes disse: Por que temeis, homens de pouca fé? Então erguendo-se, repreendeu os ventos e o mar; e fez-se grande bonança.

27 Todos se maravilharam, dizendo: Que homem é este, que até os ventos e o mar lhe obedecem?

28 Tendo ele chegado à outra banda, à terra dos gadarenos, dois endemoninhados, em extremo furiosos, de modo que ninguém podia passar por aquele caminho, saindo dos túmulos, vieram-lhe ao encontro.

29 Eles gritaram: Que temos nós contigo, Filho de Deus? vieste aqui atormentar-nos antes do tempo?

30 Ora a alguma distância deles pastava uma grande manada de porcos.

31 Os demônios rogavam-lhe: Se nos expeles, envia-nos para a manada de porcos.

32 Disse-lhes Jesus: Ide. Tendo eles saído, passaram para os porcos; toda a manada precipitou-se pelo declive no mar, e ali se afogaram.

33 Os pastores fugiram, foram à cidade e contaram todas estas coisas, e o que tinha acontecido aos endemoninhados.

34 Então a cidade toda saiu ao encontro de Jesus; e ao verem-no, rogaram-lhe que se retirasse daqueles termos.

1 When he came down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him. 2 Behold, a leper came to him and worshiped him, saying, "Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean."

3 Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, "I want to. Be made clean." Immediately his leprosy was cleansed. 4 Jesus 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, 6 saying, "Lord, my servant lies in the house paralyzed, grievously tormented."

7 Jesus 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. 9 For 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 Jesus 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. 11 I 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, 12 but the children of the Kingdom will be thrown out into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth." 13 Jesus 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 Jesus came into Peter’s house, he saw his wife’s mother lying sick with a fever. 15 He touched her hand, and the fever left her. So she got up and served him. 16 When evening came, they brought to him many possessed with demons. He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick, 17 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying, "He took our infirmities and bore our diseases."

18 Now when Jesus saw great multitudes around him, he gave the order to depart to the other side.

19 A scribe came and said to him, "Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go."

20 Jesus 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 Jesus 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. 24 Behold, a violent storm came up on the sea, so much that the boat was covered with the waves; but he was asleep. 25 The 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, two people possessed by demons met him there, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that nobody could pass that way. 29 Behold, they cried out, saying, "What do we have to do with you, Jesus, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?" 30 Now there was a herd of many pigs feeding far away from them. 31 The 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. 33 Those who fed them fled and went away into the city and told everything, including what happened to those who were possessed with demons. 34 Behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus. When they saw him, they begged that he would depart from their borders.
