Matthew 8
1 And when he had come down from the mountain, great numbers of people came after him.
And when he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him:
2 And a leper came and gave him worship, saying, Lord, if it is your pleasure, you have power to make me clean.
And behold a leper came and adored him, saying: Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
3 And he put his hand on him, saying, It is my pleasure; be clean. And straight away he was made clean.
And Jesus stretching forth his hand, touched him, saying: I will, be thou made clean. And forthwith his leprosy was cleansed.
4 And Jesus said to him, See that you say nothing about this to anyone; but go and let the priest see you and make the offering which was ordered by Moses, for a witness to them.
And Jesus saith to him: See thou tell no man: but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift which Moses commanded for a testimony unto them.
5 And when Jesus was come into Capernaum, a certain captain came to him with a request,
And when he had entered into Capharnaum, there came to him a centurion, beseeching him,
6 Saying, Lord, my servant is ill in bed at the house, with no power in his body, and in great pain.
And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, and is grieviously tormented.
7 And he said to him, I will come and make him well.
And Jesus saith to him: I will come and heal him.
8 And the captain in answer said, Lord, I am not good enough for you to come under my roof; but only say the word, and my servant will be made well.
And the centurion making answer, said: Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldst enter under my roof: but only say the word, and my servant shall be healed.
9 Because I myself am a man under authority, having under me fighting men; 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.
For I also am a man subject to authority, having under me soldiers; 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.
10 And when these words came to the ears of Jesus he was surprised, and said to those who came after him, Truly I say to you, I have not seen such great faith, no, not in Israel.
And Jesus hearing this, marvelled; and said to them that followed him: Amen I say to you, I have not found so great faith in Israel.
11 And I say to you that numbers will come from the east and the west, and will take their seats with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven:
And 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:
12 But the sons of the kingdom will be put out into the dark, and there will be weeping and cries of pain.
But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into the exterior darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
13 And Jesus said to the captain, Go in peace; as your faith is, so let it be done to you. And the servant was made well in that hour.
And Jesus said to the centurion: Go, and as thou hast believed, so be it done to thee. And the servant was healed at the same hour.
14 And when Jesus had come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother in bed, very ill.
And when Jesus was come into Peter’s house, he saw his wife’s mother lying, and sick of a fever:
15 And he put his hand on hers and the disease went from her, and she got up and took care of his needs.
And he touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she arose and ministered to them.
16 And in the evening, they took to him a number of people who had evil spirits; and he sent the spirits out of them with a word, and made well all who were ill;
And when evening was come, they brought to him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word: and all that were sick he healed:
17 So that the word of Isaiah the prophet might come true: He himself took our pains and our diseases.
That it might be fulfilled, which was spoken by the prophet Isaias, saying: He took our infirmities, and bore our diseases.
18 Now when Jesus saw a great mass of people about him, he gave an order to go to the other side.
And Jesus seeing great multitudes about him, gave orders to pass over the water.
19 And there came a scribe and said to him, Master, I will come after you wherever you go.
And a certain scribe came and said to him: Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou shalt go.
20 And Jesus said to him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of heaven have a resting-place; but the Son of man has nowhere to put his head.
And Jesus saith to him: The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air nests: but the son of man hath not where to lay his head.
21 And another of the disciples said to him, Lord, let me first go and give the last honours to my father.
And another of his disciples said to him: Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
22 But Jesus said to him, Come after me; and let the dead take care of their dead.
But Jesus said to him: Follow me, and let the dead bury their dead.
23 And when he had got into a boat, his disciples went after him.
And when he entered into the boat, his disciples followed him:
24 And there came up a great storm in the sea, so that the boat was covered with the waves: but he was sleeping.
And behold a great tempest arose in the sea, so that the boat was covered with waves, but he was asleep.
25 And they came to him, and, awaking him, said, Help, Lord; destruction is near.
And they came to him, and awaked him, saying: Lord, save us, we perish.
26 And he said to them, Why are you full of fear, O you of little faith? Then he got up and gave orders to the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.
And Jesus saith to them: Why are you fearful, O ye of little faith? Then rising up he commanded the winds, and the sea, and there came a great calm.
27 And the men were full of wonder, saying, What sort of man is this, that even the winds and the sea do his orders?
But the men wondered, saying: What manner of man is this, for the winds and the sea obey him?
28 And when he had come to the other side, to the country of the Gadarenes, there came out to him from the place of the dead, two who had evil spirits, so violent that no man was able to go that way.
And when he was come on the other side of the water, into the country of the Gerasens, there met him two that were possessed with devils, coming out of the sepulchres, exceeding fierce, so that none could pass by that way.
29 And they gave a loud cry, saying, What have we to do with you, you Son of God? Have you come here to give us punishment before the time?
And behold they cried out, saying: What have we to do with thee, Jesus Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?
30 Now there was, some distance away, a great herd of pigs taking their food.
And there was, not far from them, an herd of many swine feeding.
31 And the evil spirits made strong prayers to him, saying, If you send us out, let us go into the herd of pigs.
And the devils besought him, saying: If thou cast us out hence, send us into the herd of swine.
32 And he said to them, Go. And they came out, and went into the pigs; and the herd went rushing down a sharp slope into the sea and came to their end in the water.
And he said to them: Go. But they going out went into the swine, and behold the whole herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea: and they perished in the waters.
33 And their keepers went in flight to the town and gave an account of everything, and of the men who had the evil spirits.
And they that kept them fled: and coming into the city, told every thing, and concerning them that had been possessed by the devils.
34 And all the town came out to Jesus; and seeing him they made request that he would go away from their part of the country.
And behold the whole city went out to meet Jesus, and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart from their coasts.
