马太福音 8
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
麻风病痊愈
8 耶稣下山的时候,有许多人跟着。 2 有一个患麻风病的人跑来跪在祂跟前,说:“主啊,如果你肯,一定能使我洁净。”
3 耶稣伸手摸他,说:“我肯,你洁净了吧!”那人的麻风病就立刻洁净了。
4 耶稣对他说:“不要把这事告诉别人,要去让祭司察看你的身体,并且照摩西的规定献祭,向众人证明你已经洁净了。”
百夫长的信心
5 耶稣到了迦百农,一个百夫长前来向祂求助,说: 6 “主啊,我的仆人瘫痪,躺在家里,非常痛苦。”
7 耶稣说:“我这就去医治他。”
8 百夫长说:“主啊,我不配让你亲自来我家。你只要说一句话,我仆人就会痊愈。 9 因为我有上司,也有部下。我命令我的部下去,他就去;要他来,他就来。我吩咐仆人做什么事,他一定照办。”
10 耶稣听了,感到惊奇,便对跟随祂的人说:“我实在告诉你们,我在以色列从未见过信心这么大的人。 11 我告诉你们,将来有许多从东从西来的人会在天国与亚伯拉罕、以撒和雅各一同欢宴。 12 但那些本应承受天国的人反会被赶出去,在黑暗里哀哭切齿。”
13 耶稣对百夫长说:“你回去吧!就照你所信的给你成就。”就在那时候,他的仆人便痊愈了。
治病赶鬼
14 耶稣来到彼得家,看见彼得的岳母正在发烧,躺在床上。 15 耶稣一摸她的手,烧就退了。她便起来服侍耶稣。
16 当天晚上,有人带着许多被鬼附身的人来见耶稣。耶稣一句话就把鬼赶出去了,并医好了所有的病人。 17 这是要应验以赛亚先知的话:“祂担当了我们的软弱,背负了我们的疾病。”
跟从耶稣的代价
18 耶稣看到人群围着祂,就吩咐门徒渡到湖对岸。 19 这时,有一位律法教师上前对耶稣说:“老师,无论你往哪里去,我都要跟从你。”
20 耶稣说:“狐狸有洞,飞鸟有窝,人子却没有安枕之处。”
21 另一个门徒对耶稣说:“主啊,请让我先回去安葬我的父亲。” 22 耶稣对他说:“跟从我,让死人去埋葬他们的死人吧!”
平静风浪
23 耶稣上了船,门徒也跟着祂上了船。 24 忽然,湖面上狂风大作,波涛汹涌,船快要被巨浪吞没,耶稣却在睡觉。
25 门徒连忙叫醒耶稣,说:“主啊,救命!我们快淹死了!”
26 耶稣答道:“你们的信心太小了,为什么害怕呢?”于是祂起来斥责风和浪,风浪就完全平静了。
27 门徒很惊奇,说:“祂究竟是什么人?连风浪都听祂的!”
治好两个被鬼附身的人
28 耶稣到了对岸加大拉[a]人的地方,有两个被鬼附身的人从坟地里出来见祂。他们非常凶恶,没有人敢从那里经过。 29 他们喊着说:“上帝的儿子啊!我们和你有什么关系?时候还没有到,你就来叫我们受苦吗?”
30 当时,有一大群猪在附近吃食。 31 鬼就哀求耶稣:“如果你要赶我们出去,就让我们进入猪群吧!”
32 耶稣说:“去吧!”
于是,鬼从那二人身上出来,进入猪群,整群猪就一路奔下陡坡,冲进湖里淹死了。 33 放猪的人逃进城,把事情的经过以及被鬼附身者的遭遇告诉了城里的人。 34 于是,全城的人都出来见耶稣,见到后,便请求祂离开那地方。

Mattheüs 8
Het Boek
Jezus geneest vele mensen
8 Jezus ging de berg af en vele mensen liepen met Hem mee. 2 Er kwam een melaatse man naar Jezus toe. Die viel voor Hem op de knieën, keek naar Hem op en zei: ‘Here, als U het wilt, kunt U mij genezen.’ 3 Jezus raakte de man aan. ‘Ik wil het,’ zei Hij. ‘Word weer gezond.’ Hij had het nog maar net gezegd of de melaatsheid was verdwenen. 4 Daarop zei Hij tegen de man: ‘Praat er met niemand over. Ga meteen naar de priester om u te laten onderzoeken. Neem ook het offer mee dat volgens de wet van Mozes moet worden gebracht voor de genezing van melaatsheid. Dan zal iedereen weten dat u genezen bent.’
5 Toen Jezus in Kafarnaüm kwam, liep een officier van het Romeinse leger op Hem toe. 6 Hij vertelde dat zijn knecht verlamd in bed lag en verging van de pijn. Hij vroeg of Jezus er iets aan wilde doen. 7 ‘Ja,’ zei Jezus, ‘zal Ik meegaan om hem te genezen?’ 8 ‘Nee, nee,’ antwoordde de officier. ‘U hoeft niet bij mij thuis te komen. Daar ben ik niet goed genoeg voor. U kunt gewoon hier blijven. Als U zegt dat mijn knecht beter moet worden, wórdt hij beter. 9 Want ik moet doen wat mijn commandant mij opdraagt, en mijn soldaten moeten doen wat ik zeg. Als ik tegen een soldaat zeg: “Ga,” dan gaat hij. Als ik tegen een ander zeg: “Kom,” dan komt hij. En als ik tegen mijn knecht zeg: “Doe dit eens,” dan doet hij het. Zo is het ook met U. Als U zegt dat de ziekte uit mijn knecht moet verdwijnen, gebeurt dat!’ 10 Jezus was verbaasd en zei tegen de mensen om Hem heen: ‘Nergens in Israël heb Ik iemand ontmoet die zoveel geloof heeft! 11 Ik zeg u dat uit alle delen van de wereld een stroom van mensen het Koninkrijk van de hemelen zal binnengaan. Zij zullen met Abraham, Isaak en Jakob aan tafel zitten. 12 Maar veel van wie recht dachten te hebben op het Koninkrijk zullen in de diepste duisternis worden gegooid. Daar zullen zij jammeren van wroeging en verdriet.’ 13 Jezus zei tegen de Romeinse officier: ‘Ga naar huis. Het gebeurt zoals u gelooft.’ Op datzelfde moment werd de knecht genezen.
14 Jezus kwam in het huis van Petrus en zag dat Petrusʼ schoonmoeder met koorts in bed lag. 15 Hij raakte haar hand aan en de koorts verdween. De vrouw stond op en ging voor Hem zorgen.
16 ʼs Avonds werden verscheidene mensen bij Jezus gebracht die boze geesten hadden. Hij hoefde maar één woord te spreken en de boze geesten gingen uit de mensen weg. Ieder die ziek was, werd genezen. 17 Daarmee werd werkelijkheid wat de profeet Jesaja had gezegd: ‘Hij heeft onze kwalen op zich genomen en onze ziekten gedragen.’
18 Jezus zag dat er steeds meer mensen om Hem heen kwamen staan. Hij zei tegen zijn leerlingen dat zij het meer moesten oversteken. 19 Op dat moment kwam er een bijbelgeleerde naar Hem toe en zei: ‘Meester, ik zal U volgen waar u maar heengaat.’ 20 Jezus antwoordde: ‘Vossen hebben holen en vogels nesten, maar Ik, de Mensenzoon, heb geen plaats om mijn hoofd neer te leggen.’ 21 Iemand anders, een van zijn leerlingen, vroeg: ‘Here, vindt U het goed dat ik pas weer met U meega nadat ik mijn vader heb begraven?’ 22 ‘Nee,’ antwoordde Jezus. ‘Ga met Mij mee. Laat de mensen die geestelijk dood zijn, hun eigen doden maar begraven.’
23 Hij stapte in de boot en ging met zijn leerlingen naar de overkant van het meer. 24 Terwijl zij overvoeren, stak er plotseling een hevige storm op. De golven waren zo hoog dat ze over de boot sloegen. Jezus lag te slapen. 25 De leerlingen gingen naar Hem toe en maakten Hem wakker. ‘Here,’ schreeuwden ze. ‘Red ons! Wij vergaan!’ 26 Jezus zei: ‘Waarom zijn jullie zo bang? Hebben jullie zo weinig vertrouwen?’ Hij ging staan en zei tegen de wind en de golven dat zij moesten ophouden, en het werd doodstil. 27 De leerlingen wisten niet wat ze zagen. ‘Wie is Hij toch?’ vroegen zij zich af. ‘Zelfs de wind en de golven doen wat Hij zegt!’
28 Toen Jezus aan de andere kant van het meer kwam, in de streek van de Gadarenen, kwamen er twee mannen op Hem af, die beheerst werden door boze geesten. De mannen woonden in graven die in de rotsen waren uitgehouwen, en waren zo gevaarlijk dat niemand bij hen in de buurt durfde te komen. 29 ‘Wat wilt U van ons, Zoon van God?’ schreeuwden zij. ‘Komt U ons nu al kwellen!’ 30 Een eind verderop liep een grote kudde varkens eten te zoeken. 31 ‘Als U ons wegjaagt, stuur ons dan in die varkens,’ smeekten de boze geesten. 32 ‘Goed,’ zei Jezus. ‘Ga!’ De geesten verlieten de twee mannen en gingen in de varkens. Alle varkens stormden de steile helling af en verdronken in het meer. 33 De varkenshoeders vluchtten naar een nabijgelegen stad en vertelden wat er allemaal was gebeurd. Het verhaal over de twee bezetenen bracht grote opschudding teweeg. 34 De hele stad liep uit, naar Jezus toe. Toen zij bij Hem kwamen, vroegen zij Hem dringend weg te gaan.
Matthew 8
The Message
He Carried Our Diseases
8 1-2 Jesus came down the mountain with the cheers of the crowd still ringing in his ears. Then a leper appeared and dropped to his knees before Jesus, praying, “Master, if you want to, you can heal my body.”
3-4 Jesus reached out and touched him, saying, “I want to. Be clean.” Then and there, all signs of the leprosy were gone. Jesus said, “Don’t talk about this all over town. Just quietly present your healed body to the priest, along with the appropriate expressions of thanks to God. Your cleansed and grateful life, not your words, will bear witness to what I have done.”
5-6 As Jesus entered the village of Capernaum, a Roman captain came up in a panic and said, “Master, my servant is sick. He can’t walk. He’s in terrible pain.”
7 Jesus said, “I’ll come and heal him.”
8-9 “Oh, no,” said the captain. “I don’t want to put you to all that trouble. Just give the order and my servant will be fine. I’m a man who takes orders and gives orders. I tell one soldier, ‘Go,’ and he goes; to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; to my slave, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
10-12 Taken aback, Jesus said, “I’ve yet to come across this kind of simple trust in Israel, the very people who are supposed to know all about God and how he works. This man is the vanguard of many outsiders who will soon be coming from all directions—streaming in from the east, pouring in from the west, sitting down at God’s kingdom banquet alongside Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Then those who grew up ‘in the faith’ but had no faith will find themselves out in the cold, outsiders to grace and wondering what happened.”
13 Then Jesus turned to the captain and said, “Go. What you believed could happen has happened.” At that moment his servant became well.
14-15 By this time they were in front of Peter’s house. On entering, Jesus found Peter’s mother-in-law sick in bed, burning up with fever. He touched her hand and the fever was gone. No sooner was she up on her feet than she was fixing dinner for him.
16-17 That evening a lot of demon-afflicted people were brought to him. He relieved the inwardly tormented. He cured the bodily ill. He fulfilled Isaiah’s well-known revelation:
He took our illnesses,
He carried our diseases.
Your Business Is Life, Not Death
18-19 When Jesus saw that a curious crowd was growing by the minute, he told his disciples to get him out of there to the other side of the lake. As they left, a religion scholar asked if he could go along. “I’ll go with you, wherever,” he said.
20 Jesus was curt: “Are you ready to rough it? We’re not staying in the best inns, you know.”
21 Another follower said, “Master, excuse me for a couple of days, please. I have my father’s funeral to take care of.”
22 Jesus refused. “First things first. Your business is life, not death. Follow me. Pursue life.”
* * *
23-25 Then he got in the boat, his disciples with him. The next thing they knew, they were in a severe storm. Waves were crashing into the boat—and he was sound asleep! They roused him, pleading, “Master, save us! We’re going down!”
26 Jesus reprimanded them. “Why are you such cowards, such faint-hearts?” Then he stood up and told the wind to be silent, the sea to quiet down: “Silence!” The sea became smooth as glass.
27 The men rubbed their eyes, astonished. “What’s going on here? Wind and sea stand up and take notice at his command!”
The Madmen and the Pigs
28-31 They landed in the country of the Gadarenes and were met by two madmen, victims of demons, coming out of the cemetery. The men had terrorized the region for so long that no one considered it safe to walk down that stretch of road anymore. Seeing Jesus, the madmen screamed out, “What business do you have giving us a hard time? You’re the Son of God! You weren’t supposed to show up here yet!” Off in the distance a herd of pigs was grazing and rooting. The evil spirits begged Jesus, “If you kick us out of these men, let us live in the pigs.”
32-34 Jesus said, “Go ahead, but get out of here!” Crazed, the pigs stampeded over a cliff into the sea and drowned. Scared to death, the swineherds bolted. They told everyone back in town what had happened to the madmen and the pigs. Those who heard about it were angry about the drowned pigs. A mob formed and demanded that Jesus get out and not come back.
Matthew 8
New International Version
Jesus Heals a Man With Leprosy(A)
8 When Jesus came down from the mountainside, large crowds followed him. 2 A man with leprosy[a](B) came and knelt before him(C) 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.(D) But go, show yourself to the priest(E) and offer the gift Moses commanded,(F) as a testimony to them.”
The Faith of the Centurion(G)
5 When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking for help. 6 “Lord,” he said, “my servant lies at home paralyzed,(H) 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.(I) 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.(J) 11 I say to you that many will come from the east and the west,(K) and will take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.(L) 12 But the subjects of the kingdom(M) will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”(N)
13 Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go! Let it be done just as you believed it would.”(O) And his servant was healed at that moment.
Jesus Heals Many(P)
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.(Q) 17 This was to fulfill(R) what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:
The Cost of Following Jesus(T)
18 When Jesus saw the crowd around him, he gave orders to cross to the other side of the lake.(U) 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(V) 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,(W) and let the dead bury their own dead.”
Jesus Calms the Storm(X)(Y)
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,(Z) why are you so afraid?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.(AA)
27 The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!”
Jesus Restores Two Demon-Possessed Men(AB)
28 When he arrived at the other side in the region of the Gadarenes,[c] two demon-possessed(AC) 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,(AD) Son of God?” they shouted. “Have you come here to torture us before the appointed time?”(AE)
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.(AF)
