Matthew 8
Christian Standard Bible
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)

Maori Bible
8 A, no ka heke iho ia i te maunga, he rahi te hui i aru i a ia.
2 Na ka haere tetahi repera, ka koropiko ki a ia, ka mea, E te Ariki, ki te pai koe, e taea ahau e koe te mea kia ma.
3 A ka totoro te ringa o Ihu, ka pa ki a ia, ka mea, E pai ana ahau; kia ma koe. A ma tonu iho tona repera.
4 Katahi ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, Kia mahara, kei korerotia ki te tangata; erangi haere, kia kite te tohunga i a koe, mauria atu hoki te whakahere i whakaritea e Mohi, hei mea whakaatu ki a ratou.
5 A, no ka tae a Ihu ki Kaperenauma, ka haere ki a ia tetahi keneturio, ka inoi ki a ia,
6 Ka mea, E te Ariki, ko taku pononga kei te whare e takoto ana, he pararutiki, e ngaua kinotia ana.
7 A ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, Ka haere ahau ki te whakaora i a ia.
8 Na ko te whakahokinga a te keneturio, ko te meatanga, E te Ariki, ehara ahau i te tikanga tangata e haere ake ai koe ki raro i toku tuanui; engari kia puaki kau tau kupu, a ka ora taku pononga.
9 He tangata hoki ahau e whakahaua ana, he hoia ano aku hei whakahaunga maku: ka mea ahau ki tenei, Haere, na ka haere ia; ki tetahi, Haere mai, a ka haere mai; ki taku pononga hoki, Meatia tenei, a ka meatia e ia.
10 A, no te rongonga o Ihu, ka miharo, ka mea ki te hunga e aru ana, He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Kahore ahau i kite noa i te whakapono hei rite mo tenei te nui i roto i a Iharaira.
11 Ko taku kupu ano tenei ki a koutou, He tokomaha e haere mai i te rawhiti, i te hauauru, a e noho tahi i a Aperahama, i a Ihaka, i a Hakopa, ki te rangatiratanga o te rangi:
12 Ko nga tamariki ia o te rangatiratanga ka maka ki te pouri i waho: ko te wahi tera o te tangi, o te tetea o nga niho.
13 Na ka mea a Ihu ki te keneturio, Haere, kia rite ki tou whakapono te meatanga ki a koe. A ora ake ana taua pononga i taua wa pu ano.
14 A, no ka tae a Ihu ki te whare o Pita, ka kite ia i tona hungawai wahine e takoto mate ana, he kirika.
15 Na ka pa ia ki tona ringaringa, a mutu ake tona kirika: a ara ake ana ia ki te taka mea ma ratou.
16 Na i te ahiahi he tokomaha te hunga e nohoia ana e nga rewera i mauria mai ki a ia: na ka peia e tana kupu nga wairua ki waho, a whakaorangia ake e ia te hunga mate katoa:
17 I rite ai ta Ihaia poropiti i korero ai, i mea ai, nana i tango o tatou ngoikore, i waha o tatou mate.
18 Na, i te kitenga o Ihu he rahi te hui e mui ana ki a ia, ka whakahau ia kia whakawhiti ki tawahi.
19 A ka haere tetahi karaipi, ka mea ki a ia, E te Kaiwhakaako, ka aru ahau i a koe ki nga wahi katoa e haere ai koe.
20 A ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, He rua o nga pokiha, he kowhanga o nga manu o te rangi; tena ko te Tama a te tangata, kahore ona wahi e takoto ai tona matenga.
21 A i mea tetahi atu o ana akonga ki a ia, E te Ariki tukua ahau kia matua haere ki te tanu i toku papa.
22 Na ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, Arumia ahau: a waiho ma nga tupapaku e tanu o ratou tupapaku.
23 A, no ka eke ia ki te kaipuke, ka aru ana akonga i a ia.
24 Na ka tutu te puehu o te moana, a ngaro iho te kaipuke i te ngaru; i te moe hoki ia.
25 A ka haere ana akonga, ka whakaara i a ia, ka mea, E te Ariki, whakaorangia tatou, ka ngaro tatou.
26 A ka mea ia ki a ratou, He aha ta koutou e wehi, e te hunga whakapono iti? Me i reira ka ara ia, a riria iho te hau me te moana; a takoto ana he marino nui.
27 A miharo noa nga tangata, ka mea, He tangata aha tenei, ina, rongo rawa te hau me te moana ki a ia!
28 A, no ka whiti ia ki tarawahi, ki te whenua o nga Kerekehini, ka tutaki ki a ia etahi tangata tokorua e nohoia ana e te rewera, e puta ana mai i roto i nga urupa, he hunga tutu rawa, te taea taua ara te haere e te tangata.
29 Na ka karanga ake raua, ka mea, He aha maua nau, e Ihu, e te Tama a te Atua? kua tae mai oti koe ki te whakamamae i a maua i te mea kahore ano i rite te taima?
30 Na tera tetahi kahui poaka i tawhiti atu i a ratou e kai ana, he tini.
31 A ka inoi nga rewera ki a ia, ka mea, Ki te pei koe i a matou, tukua matou kia haere ki roto ki te kahui poaka.
32 Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, Haere. Na, ko to ratou putanga ki waho, haere ana ki roto ki te kahui poaka; na ko te tino rerenga o te kahui poaka katoa ra te pari ki te moana, a mate iho ki roto ki te wai.
33 Na ka whati nga kaiwhangai, a haere ana ki te pa, korero ana i nga mea katoa, me te meatanga ki te hunga i nohoia e nga rewera.
34 Na puta katoa ana te pa ki waho, ki te whakatau i a Ihu; a ka kite i a ia, ka tohe kia haere atu ia i o ratou wahi.
