A Man Cleansed
8 When he came down from the mountain, large crowds(A) followed him. 2 Right away(B) a man with leprosy[a] came up and knelt before him,(C) saying, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.”
3 Reaching out his hand, Jesus touched him, saying, “I am willing; be made clean.” Immediately his leprosy was cleansed. 4 Then Jesus told him, “See that you don’t tell anyone;(D) but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”(E)
A Centurion’s Faith
5 When he entered Capernaum,(F) a centurion came to him, pleading with him, 6 “Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, in terrible agony.”
7 He said to him, “Am I to come and heal him?”[b]
8 “Lord,” the centurion replied, “I am not worthy to have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.(G) 9 For I too am a man under authority, having soldiers under my command.[c] 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.”
10 Hearing this, Jesus was amazed and said to those following him, “Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with so great a faith. 11 I tell you that many will come from east and west to share the banquet[d] with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.(H) 12 But the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”(I) 13 Then Jesus told the centurion, “Go. As you have believed,(J) let it be done for you.” And his servant was healed that very moment.[e]
Healings at Capernaum
14 Jesus went into Peter’s house(K) and saw his mother-in-law lying in bed with a fever. 15 So he touched her hand, and the fever left her. Then she got up and began to serve him. 16 When evening came, they brought to him many who were demon-possessed. He drove out the spirits(L) with a word and healed all who were sick,(M) 17 so that what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled:
The Cost of Following Jesus
18 When Jesus saw a large crowd[g](O) around him, he gave the order to go to the other side of the sea. 19 A scribe approached him and said,(P) “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.”
20 Jesus told him, “Foxes have dens, and birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man(Q) has no place to lay his head.”
21 “Lord,” another of his disciples said, “first let me go bury my father.”
22 But Jesus told him, “Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead.”
Wind and Waves Obey Jesus
23 As he got into the boat,(R) his disciples(S) followed him. 24 Suddenly, a violent storm arose on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves—but Jesus kept sleeping. 25 So the disciples came and woke him up, saying, “Lord, save us! We’re going to die!”
26 He said to them, “Why are you afraid, you of little faith?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the sea,(T) and there was a great calm.
27 The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the sea obey(U) him!”
Demons Driven Out by Jesus
28 When he had come to the other side,(V) to the region of the Gadarenes,[h] two demon-possessed men met him as they came out of the tombs. They were so violent that no one could pass that way. 29 Suddenly they shouted, “What do you have to do with us,[i] Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?” (W)
30 A long way off from them, a large herd of pigs was feeding. 31 “If you drive us out,” the demons begged him, “send us into the herd of pigs.”
32 “Go!” he told them. So when they had come out, they entered the pigs, and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea and perished in the water. 33 Then the men who tended them fled. They went into the city and reported everything, especially what had happened to those who were demon-possessed. 34 At that, the whole town went out to meet Jesus. When they saw him, they begged him to leave their region.(X)

痲瘋病痊癒
8 耶穌下山的時候，有許多人跟著。 2 有一個患痲瘋病的人跑來跪在祂跟前，說：「主啊，如果你肯，一定能使我潔淨。」
3 耶穌伸手摸他，說：「我肯，你潔淨了吧！」那人的痲瘋病就立刻潔淨了。
4 耶穌對他說：「不要把這事告訴別人，要去讓祭司查看你的身體，並且照摩西的規定獻祭，向眾人證明你已經潔淨了。」
百夫長的信心
5 耶穌到了迦百農，一個百夫長前來向祂求助，說： 6 「主啊，我的僕人癱瘓，躺在家裡，非常痛苦。」
7 耶穌說：「我這就去醫治他。」
8 百夫長說：「主啊，我不配讓你親自來我家。你只要說一句話，我僕人就會痊癒。 9 因為我有上司，也有部下。我命令我的部下去，他就去；要他來，他就來。我吩咐僕人做什麼事，他一定照辦。」
10 耶穌聽了，感到驚奇，便對跟隨祂的人說：「我實在告訴你們，我在以色列從未見過信心這麼大的人。 11 我告訴你們，將來有許多從東從西來的人會在天國與亞伯拉罕、以撒和雅各一同歡宴。 12 但那些本應承受天國的人反會被趕出去，在黑暗裡哀哭切齒。」
13 耶穌對百夫長說：「你回去吧！就照你所信的給你成就。」就在那時候，他的僕人便痊癒了。
治病趕鬼
14 耶穌來到彼得家，看見彼得的岳母正在發燒，躺在床上。 15 耶穌一摸她的手，燒就退了。她便起來服侍耶穌。
16 當天晚上，有人帶著許多被鬼附身的人來見耶穌。耶穌一句話就把鬼趕出去了，並醫好了所有的病人。 17 這是要應驗以賽亞先知的話：「祂擔當了我們的軟弱，背負了我們的疾病。」
跟從耶穌的代價
18 耶穌看到人群圍著祂，就吩咐門徒渡到湖對岸。 19 這時，有一位律法教師上前對耶穌說：「老師，無論你往哪裡去，我都要跟從你。」
20 耶穌說：「狐狸有洞，飛鳥有窩，人子卻沒有安枕之處。」
21 另一個門徒對耶穌說：「主啊，請讓我先回去安葬我的父親。」 22 耶穌對他說：「跟從我，讓死人去埋葬他們的死人吧！」
平靜風浪
23 耶穌上了船，門徒也跟著祂上了船。 24 忽然，湖面上狂風大作，波濤洶湧，船快要被巨浪吞沒，耶穌卻在睡覺。
25 門徒連忙叫醒耶穌，說：「主啊，救命！我們快淹死了！」
26 耶穌答道：「你們的信心太小了，為什麼害怕呢？」於是祂起來斥責風和浪，風浪就完全平靜了。
27 門徒很驚奇，說：「祂究竟是什麼人？連風浪都聽祂的！」
治好兩個被鬼附身的人
28 耶穌到了對岸加大拉[a]人的地方，有兩個被鬼附身的人從墳地裡出來見祂。他們非常凶惡，沒有人敢從那裡經過。 29 他們喊著說：「上帝的兒子啊！我們和你有什麼關係？時候還沒有到，你就來叫我們受苦嗎？」
30 當時，有一大群豬在附近吃食。 31 鬼就哀求耶穌：「如果你要趕我們出去，就讓我們進入豬群吧！」
32 耶穌說：「去吧！」
於是，鬼從那二人身上出來，進入豬群，整群豬就一路奔下陡坡，衝進湖裡淹死了。 33 放豬的人逃進城，把事情的經過以及被鬼附身者的遭遇告訴了城裡的人。 34 於是，全城的人都出來見耶穌，見到後，便請求祂離開那地方。

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)
