Matthew 8:1-9

New King James Version

Jesus Cleanses a Leper^(A)

8 When He had come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed Him. ^2 (B)And behold, a leper came and ^(C)worshiped Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”

³ Then Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately his leprosy ^(D)was cleansed.

⁴ And Jesus said to him, ^(E)“See that you tell no one; but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that ^(F)Moses ^(G)commanded, as a testimony to them.”

Jesus Heals a Centurion’s Servant^(H)

^5 (I)Now when Jesus had entered Capernaum, a ^(J)centurion came to Him, pleading with Him, ⁶ saying, “Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, dreadfully tormented.”

⁷ And Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.”

⁸ The centurion answered and said, “Lord, ^(K)I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only ^(L)speak a word, and my servant will be healed. ⁹ For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. 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.”
