潔淨痲瘋病人

耶穌從山上下來,有一大群人跟隨他。 這時候,忽然有一個痲瘋病人前來拜他,說:「主啊,如果你願意,你就能潔淨我。」

耶穌伸出手來摸他,說:「我願意,你潔淨了吧!」那人的痲瘋病立刻就被潔淨了。 耶穌對他說:「你要注意,不可告訴任何人,只要去把自己給祭司看,並且獻上摩西所吩咐的祭物,好對他們做見證。」

百夫長的信心

耶穌進了迦百農,有個百夫長前來懇求他, 說:「主啊,我的僕人癱瘓了,躺在家裡,受劇烈的折磨。」

耶穌對他說:「我去使他痊癒。」

百夫長回答說:「主啊,我實在不配請你進我家。其實只要你說一句話,我的僕人就會痊癒的。 事實上,我也在人的權下,也有士兵在我之下。我對這個說『去』,他就去;對那個說『來』,他就來;對我的奴僕說『做這事』,他就去做。」

10 耶穌聽了,十分感慨,對跟隨他的人說:「我確實地告訴你們:在以色列我沒有見過有這麼大信心[a]的人。 11 我告訴你們:將有許多人從東從西而來,在天國裡與亞伯拉罕以撒雅各一同坐席。 12 但那些『天國的兒女』,卻將被丟在外面的黑暗裡。在那裡將有哀哭和切齒。」 13 於是耶穌對那百夫長說:「回去吧,照著你所信的,給你成全吧!」他的僕人就在那一刻痊癒了。

在迦百農治病

14 耶穌來到彼得家,看見彼得的岳母正發燒躺著。 15 耶穌一摸她的手,燒就退了。於是她就起來服事耶穌。 16 到了傍晚,人們把許多有鬼魔附身的人帶到耶穌那裡。耶穌話語一出就把那些邪靈都趕了出去,並且使所有患病的人痊癒了。 17 這樣,那藉著先知以賽亞所說的話就應驗了:

「他親自代替了我們的軟弱,
擔當了我們的疾病。」[b]

跟隨耶穌

18 耶穌看見一群人[c]圍著他,就吩咐渡到對岸去。 19 有一個經文士前來對他說:「老師,無論你到哪裡去,我都要跟從你。」

20 耶穌對他說:「狐狸有洞,天空的飛鳥有窩,人子卻沒有枕頭的地方。」

21 耶穌的另一個門徒對他說:「主啊,請准許我先去埋葬我的父親。」

22 但是耶穌對他說:「你跟從我,讓死人去埋葬他們的死人吧。」

平靜風浪

23 耶穌上了船,他的門徒們跟著他。 24 這時候,忽然湖[d]上起了大風暴,以致波浪蓋過了船,耶穌卻睡著了。 25 門徒們上前來叫醒他,說:「主啊,救救我們,我們沒命了!」

26 耶穌對他們說:「為什麼膽怯呢?你們這些小信的人哪!」耶穌就起來,斥責風和浪[e],湖面就變得一片平靜。

27 他們都感到驚奇,說:「這個人究竟是什麼人?連風和浪[f]也聽從他!」

在格拉森驅趕鬼魔

28 耶穌來到對岸格達拉[g]人的地方,兩個有鬼魔附身的人,從墓地迎著他出來。他們非常凶猛,以致沒有人能從那條路經過。 29 忽然,他們喊叫說:「神的兒子[h]啊,我們與你有什麼關係?時候來到之前,你就來這裡折磨我們嗎?」

30 當時,離他們很遠的地方,有一大群豬正在吃食。 31 那些鬼魔就央求耶穌,說:「如果你要把我們趕出去,就叫我們進入這群豬裡面去吧。」

32 耶穌對它們說:「去吧!」它們就出來,進入豬[i]裡面去了。忽然,那整群豬[j]從山崖衝到湖裡,在水裡淹死[k]了。 33 那些放豬的人就逃跑,進城去傳報了這一切事,包括鬼魔附身之人的事。 34 看哪,全城的人都出來看耶穌,見了耶穌以後,就央求他離開他們的地區。

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)

Pinagaling ni Jesus ang Lalaking May Malubhang Sakit sa Balat(A)

Nang bumaba na si Jesus mula sa bundok, sinundan siya ng napakaraming tao. Lumapit sa kanya ang isang lalaking may malubhang sakit sa balat[a] at lumuhod sa harap niya, at sinabi, “Panginoon, kung gusto nʼyo po, mapapagaling nʼyo ako upang maituring akong malinis.” Hinawakan siya ni Jesus at sinabi, “Gusto ko. Luminis ka!” Agad na gumaling ang kanyang sakit at luminis siya. At sinabi sa kanya ni Jesus, “Huwag mo itong sasabihin kaninuman. Sa halip, pumunta ka sa pari at magpasuri. Pagkatapos, maghandog ka ayon sa iniutos ni Moises bilang patunay na malinis ka na.”

Pinagaling ni Jesus ang Utusan ng Kapitan(B)

Nang dumating si Jesus sa bayan ng Capernaum, pumunta sa kanya ang isang kapitan ng hukbong Romano at nakiusap: “Panginoon, may sakit po ang aking utusan. Nakaratay siya sa bahay at nasa matinding paghihirap.” Sinabi ni Jesus, “Pupuntahan ko siya at pagagalingin.” Pero sumagot ang kapitan, “Panginoon, hindi po ako karapat-dapat na puntahan nʼyo ang tahanan ko. Sabihin nʼyo na lang na gumaling siya, at gagaling na ang aking utusan. Alam ko ito dahil nasa ilalim ako ng nakakataas na opisyal, at may nasasakupan din akong mga sundalo. Kapag sinabi ko sa isa, ‘Pumunta ka roon,’ pumupunta siya. Kapag sinabi kong, ‘Halika,’ lumalapit siya. At kung ano pa ang iniuutos ko sa aking alipin, sinusunod niya.” 10 Namangha si Jesus nang marinig niya ito. At sinabi niya sa mga taong sumusunod sa kanya, “Sinasabi ko sa inyo ang totoo, hindi pa ako nakakita ng isang tao sa Israel na may ganitong pananampalataya. 11 Sinasabi ko rin sa inyo na maraming hindi Judio mula sa ibaʼt ibang dako ang kakaing kasama nina Abraham, Isaac, at Jacob sa handaan ng paghahari ng Dios. 12 Ngunit maraming Judio, na paghaharian sana ng Dios, ang itatapon sa matinding kadiliman sa labas. At doon ay iiyak sila, at magngangalit ang kanilang mga ngipin.”[b] 13 At sinabi ni Jesus sa kapitan, “Umuwi ka na. Mangyayari ang hinihiling mo ayon sa iyong pananampalataya.” At nang oras ding iyon ay gumaling ang utusan ng kapitan.

Maraming Pinagaling si Jesus(C)

14 Pumunta si Jesus sa bahay ni Pedro. Pagdating niya roon, nakita niya ang biyenang babae ni Pedro na nakahiga at nilalagnat. 15 Hinawakan ni Jesus ang kamay ng babae at nawala ang lagnat nito. Bumangon siya at pinagsilbihan si Jesus.

16 Nang magtakip-silim na, maraming sinasaniban ng masasamang espiritu ang dinala ng mga tao kay Jesus. Sa isang salita lang, pinalayas niya ang masasamang espiritu at pinagaling ang mga may sakit. 17 Ginawa niya ang mga ito upang matupad ang sinabi ni Propeta Isaias,

    “Kinuha niya ang ating mga sakit
    at inalis ang ating mga karamdaman.”[c]

Ang Pagsunod kay Jesus(D)

18 Nang makita ni Jesus ang napakaraming tao sa kanyang paligid, inutusan niya ang mga tagasunod niya na tumawid sa kabila ng lawa. 19 May tagapagturo ng Kautusan na lumapit sa kanya at sinabi, “Guro, susunod po ako sa inyo kahit saan.” 20 Pero sinagot siya ni Jesus, “May mga lungga ang mga asong-gubat, at may mga pugad ang mga ibon. Ngunit ako na Anak ng Tao ay walang sariling tahanan na mapagpahingahan.” 21 Isa pa sa mga tagasunod niya ang nagsabi, “Panginoon, pauwiin po muna ninyo ako para maipalibing ko ang aking ama.”[d] 22 Pero sinabi ni Jesus sa kanya, “Sumunod ka sa akin at ipaubaya mo sa mga patay ang paglilibing ng kanilang patay.”

Pinatigil ni Jesus ang Malakas na Hangin at Alon(E)

23 Sumakay sa bangka si Jesus, at sumama ang mga tagasunod niya. 24 At habang naglalayag sila, biglang lumakas ang hangin at halos matabunan na ng malalaking alon ang kanilang bangka. Natutulog noon si Jesus. 25 Kaya nilapitan siya ng mga tagasunod niya at ginising, “Panginoon, iligtas nʼyo po kami! Malulunod na tayo!” 26 Sumagot si Jesus, “Bakit kayo natatakot? Kay liit ng inyong pananampalataya.” Bumangon si Jesus at pinatigil ang hangin at ang mga alon, at biglang kumalma ang tubig. 27 Namangha ang mga tagasunod niya at sinabi, “Anong klaseng tao ito? Kahit ang hangin at mga alon ay napapasunod niya!”

Pinagaling ni Jesus ang Dalawang Lalaking Sinasaniban ng Masasamang Espiritu(F)

28 Nang dumating siya sa kabila ng lawa, sa lupain ng mga Gadareno,[e] sinalubong siya ng dalawang lalaking galing sa mga kwebang libingan. Ang mga lalaking itoʼy sinasaniban ng masasamang espiritu. Napakababangis nila, kaya walang nakakadaan doon. 29 Sumigaw sila kay Jesus, “Ano ang pakialam mo sa amin, ikaw na anak ng Dios? Pumunta ka ba rito para pahirapan kami nang wala pa sa takdang panahon?” 30 Sa di-kalayuan ay may malaking kawan ng baboy na nanginginain. 31 Nakiusap ang masasamang espiritu sa kanya, “Kung palalayasin mo kami, payagan mo na lang kaming pumasok sa mga baboy na iyon.” 32 Sinabi ni Jesus, “Sige, umalis kayo!” Kaya lumabas ang masasamang espiritu sa dalawang lalaki at pumasok sa mga baboy. Nagtakbuhan ang buong kawan ng baboy pababa ng burol, nagtuloy-tuloy sa lawa at nalunod.

33 Tumakbo ang mga tagapag-alaga ng mga baboy papunta sa bayan at ipinamalita ang nangyari sa mga baboy at sa dalawang lalaking sinaniban ng masasamang espiritu. 34 Kaya lumabas ang lahat ng tao sa bayan at pinuntahan si Jesus, at nakiusap sila na umalis siya sa lugar nila.

  5. 8:28 Gadareno: Sa ibang tekstong Griego, Geraseno o, Gergeseno.

When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.

And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him,

And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.

And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.

The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.

For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.

10 When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.

11 And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.

12 But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

13 And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour.

14 And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever.

15 And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them.

16 When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick:

17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.

18 Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandment to depart unto the other side.

19 And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.

20 And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.

21 And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.

22 But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.

23 And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him.

24 And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.

25 And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish.

26 And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.

27 But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!

28 And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.

29 And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?

30 And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding.

31 So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.

32 And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.

33 And they that kept them fled, and went their ways into the city, and told every thing, and what was befallen to the possessed of the devils.

34 And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart out of their coasts.
