Jesus Cleanses a Leper

Now when [a]Jesus came down from the [b]mountain, [c]large crowds followed Him. And behold, (A)a leper came to Him and [d](B)was bowing down before Him, and said, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.” And Jesus stretched out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” And immediately his (C)leprosy was cleansed. And Jesus *said to him, (D)See that you tell no one; but (E)go, (F)show yourself to the priest and present the [e]offering that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”

The Centurion’s Faith

And (G)when [f]Jesus entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, pleading with Him, and saying, “[g]Lord, my [h]servant is [i]lying (H)paralyzed at home, fearfully tormented.” And Jesus *said to him, “I will come and heal him.” But the centurion said, “[j]Lord, I am not good enough for You to come under my roof, but just [k]say the word, and my [l]servant will be healed. For I also am a man under (I)authority, with soldiers under me; and I say to this man, ‘Go!’ and he goes, and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes, and to my slave, ‘Do this!’ and he does it.” 10 Now when Jesus heard this, He marveled and said to those who were following, “Truly I say to you, I have not found such great faith [m]with anyone in Israel. 11 And I say to you that many (J)will come from east and west, and [n]recline at the table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven; 12 but (K)the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into (L)the outer darkness; in that place (M)there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” 13 And Jesus said to the centurion, “Go; [o]it shall be done for you (N)as you have believed.” And the [p]servant was healed that very [q]moment.

Peter’s Mother-in-Law and Many Others Healed

14 (O)When Jesus came into Peter’s [r]home, He saw his mother-in-law lying sick in bed with a fever. 15 And He touched her hand, and the fever left her; and she got up and began [s]waiting on Him. 16 Now when evening came, they brought to Him many (P)who were demon-possessed; and He cast out the spirits with a word, and (Q)healed all who were ill 17 in order to fulfill what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying, “(R)He Himself took our infirmities and [t]carried away our diseases.”

The Cost of Following Jesus

18 Now when Jesus saw a crowd around Him, (S)He gave orders to depart to the other side of the sea. 19 (T)Then a scribe came and said to Him, “Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go.” 20 And Jesus *said to him, “The foxes have holes and the birds of the [u]air have [v]nests, but (U)the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.” 21 And another of the disciples said to Him, “Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father.” 22 But Jesus *said to him, (V)Follow Me, and allow the dead to bury their own dead.”

Jesus Calms a Storm

23 (W)And when He got into the boat, His disciples followed Him. 24 And behold, there arose [w]a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being covered with the waves; but Jesus Himself was sleeping. 25 And they came to Him and got Him up, saying, “(X)Save us, Lord; we are perishing!” 26 And He *said to them, “Why are you so cowardly, (Y)you men of little faith?” Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and [x]it became perfectly calm. 27 And the men marveled, and said, “What kind of a man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?”

Jesus Saves Men from Demons

28 (Z)And when He came to the other side, into the region of the Gadarenes, two men who were (AA)demon-possessed met Him as they were coming out of the tombs. They were so extremely violent that no one could pass by that way. 29 And behold, they cried out, saying, “[y](AB)What do we have to do with You, Son of God? Have You come here to torment us before the [z]time?” 30 Now there was a herd of many swine feeding at a distance from them. 31 And the demons began to plead with Him, saying, “If You are going to cast us out, send us into the herd of swine.” 32 And He said to them, “Go!” And coming out, they went into the swine; and behold, the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea and perished in the waters. 33 Now the herdsmen ran away, and went to the city and reported everything, [aa]including what had happened to the (AC)demoniacs. 34 And behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus; and when they saw Him, (AD)they pleaded with Him to leave their region.

洁净长大麻风的

耶稣下了山,有许多人跟着他。 有一个长大麻风的来拜他,说:“主若肯,必能叫我洁净了。” 耶稣伸手摸他,说:“我肯,你洁净了吧!”他的大麻风立刻就洁净了。 耶稣对他说:“你切不可告诉人,要去把身体给祭司察看,献上摩西所吩咐的礼物,对众人做证据。”

治百夫长的仆人

耶稣进了迦百农,有一个百夫长进前来,求他说: “主啊,我的仆人害瘫痪病,躺在家里甚是疼苦。” 耶稣说:“我去医治他。” 百夫长回答说:“主啊,你到我舍下我不敢当,只要你说一句话,我的仆人就必好了。 因为我在人的权下,也有兵在我以下,对这个说‘去!’他就去,对那个说‘来!’他就来,对我的仆人说‘你做这事!’他就去做。” 10 耶稣听见就稀奇,对跟从的人说:“我实在告诉你们:这么大的信心,就是在以色列中我也没有遇见过! 11 我又告诉你们:从东从西,将有许多人来,在天国里与亚伯拉罕以撒雅各一同坐席; 12 唯有本国的子民,竟被赶到外边黑暗里去,在那里必要哀哭切齿了。” 13 耶稣对百夫长说:“你回去吧!照你的信心给你成全了。”那时,他的仆人就好了。

医彼得岳母

14 耶稣到了彼得家里,见彼得的岳母害热病躺着。 15 耶稣把她的手一摸,热就退了。她就起来,服侍耶稣。 16 到了晚上,有人带着许多被鬼附的来到耶稣跟前,他只用一句话就把鬼都赶出去,并且治好了一切有病的人。 17 这是要应验先知以赛亚的话说:“他代替我们的软弱,担当我们的疾病。”

18 耶稣见许多人围着他,就吩咐渡到那边去。 19 有一个文士来对他说:“夫子,你无论往哪里去,我要跟从你。” 20 耶稣说:“狐狸有洞,天空的飞鸟有窝,人子却没有枕头的地方。” 21 又有一个门徒对耶稣说:“主啊,容我先回去埋葬我的父亲。” 22 耶稣说:“任凭死人埋葬他们的死人,你跟从我吧!”

平静风和海

23 耶稣上了船,门徒跟着他。 24 海里忽然起了暴风,甚至船被波浪掩盖,耶稣却睡着了。 25 门徒来叫醒了他,说:“主啊,救我们,我们丧命啦!” 26 耶稣说:“你们这小信的人哪!为什么胆怯呢?”于是起来,斥责风和海,风和海就大大地平静了。 27 众人稀奇,说:“这是怎样的人?连风和海也听从他了!”

28 耶稣既渡到那边去,来到加大拉人的地方,就有两个被鬼附的人从坟茔里出来迎着他,极其凶猛,甚至没有人能从那条路上经过。 29 他们喊着说:“神的儿子,我们与你有什么相干?时候还没有到,你就上这里来叫我们受苦吗?”

鬼入猪群

30 离他们很远,有一大群猪吃食。 31 鬼就央求耶稣,说:“若把我们赶出去,就打发我们进入猪群吧。” 32 耶稣说:“去吧!”鬼就出来,进入猪群。全群忽然闯下山崖,投在海里淹死了。 33 放猪的就逃跑进城,将这一切事和被鬼附的人所遭遇的都告诉人。 34 合城的人都出来迎见耶稣,既见了,就央求他离开他们的境界。

Jesus Heals a Man With Leprosy(A)

When Jesus came down from the mountainside, large crowds followed him. A man with leprosy[a](B) came and knelt before him(C) and said, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.”

Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” Immediately he was cleansed of his leprosy. 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)

When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking for help. “Lord,” he said, “my servant lies at home paralyzed,(H) suffering terribly.”

Jesus said to him, “Shall I come and heal him?”

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) 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:

“He took up our infirmities
    and bore our diseases.”[b](S)

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)
