Jesús sana a un enfermo de la piel(A)
8 Cuando Jesús bajó de la montaña, lo siguieron grandes multitudes. 2 Un hombre que tenía una enfermedad en su piel se acercó, se arrodilló delante de él y suplicó:
—Señor, si quieres, puedes limpiarme.
3 Jesús extendió la mano y tocó al hombre.
—Sí, quiero —dijo—. ¡Queda limpio!
Y al instante quedó sano[a] de la enfermedad en la piel.
4 —Mira, no se lo digas a nadie —dijo Jesús—; solo ve, preséntate al sacerdote y lleva la ofrenda que ordenó Moisés, para que les sirva de testimonio.
La fe del centurión(B)
5 Al entrar Jesús en Capernaúm, se acercó a él un centurión pidiendo ayuda:
6 —Señor, mi siervo está postrado en casa con parálisis y sufre terriblemente.
7 —Iré a sanarlo —respondió Jesús.
8 El centurión contestó:
—Señor, no merezco que entres bajo mi techo. Pero basta con que digas una sola palabra y mi siervo quedará sano. 9 Porque yo mismo soy un hombre sujeto a órdenes superiores y, además, tengo soldados bajo mi autoridad. Le digo a uno “ve” y va; y al otro, “ven” y viene. Le digo a mi siervo “haz esto” y lo hace.
10 Al oír esto, Jesús se asombró y dijo a quienes lo seguían:
—Les aseguro que no he encontrado en Israel a nadie que tenga tanta fe. 11 Les digo que muchos vendrán del oriente y del occidente, y participarán en el banquete con Abraham, Isaac y Jacob en el reino de los cielos. 12 Pero a los súbditos del reino se les echará afuera, a la oscuridad, donde habrá llanto y crujir de dientes.
13 Luego Jesús dijo al centurión:
—¡Ve! Que todo suceda tal como has creído.
Y en esa misma hora aquel siervo quedó sano.
Jesús sana a muchos enfermos(C)
14 Cuando Jesús entró en casa de Pedro, vio a la suegra de este en cama con fiebre. 15 Él le tocó la mano y la fiebre se le quitó; luego ella se levantó y comenzó a servirle.
16 Al atardecer, le llevaron muchos endemoniados; con una sola palabra expulsó a los espíritus y sanó a todos los enfermos. 17 Esto sucedió para que se cumpliera lo dicho por el profeta Isaías:
«Él cargó con nuestras enfermedades
y soportó nuestros dolores».[b]
Lo que cuesta seguir a Jesús(D)
18 Cuando Jesús vio a la multitud que lo rodeaba, dio la orden de pasar al otro lado del lago. 19 Se acercó un maestro de la Ley y le dijo:
—Maestro, te seguiré adondequiera que vayas.
20 —Las zorras tienen madrigueras y las aves tienen nidos —respondió Jesús—, pero el Hijo del hombre no tiene dónde recostar la cabeza.
21 Otro discípulo pidió:
—Señor, primero déjame ir a enterrar a mi padre.
22 —Sígueme —contestó Jesús— y deja que los muertos entierren a sus muertos.
Jesús calma la tormenta(E)
23 Luego subió a la barca y sus discípulos lo siguieron. 24 De repente, se levantó en el lago una tormenta tan fuerte que las olas inundaban la barca. Pero Jesús estaba dormido. 25 Los discípulos fueron a despertarlo.
—¡Señor —gritaron—, sálvanos, que nos vamos a ahogar!
26 —Hombres de poca fe —contestó—, ¿por qué tienen tanto miedo?
Entonces se levantó, reprendió a los vientos y a las olas, y todo quedó completamente tranquilo.
27 Los discípulos no salían de su asombro y decían: «¿Qué clase de hombre es este que hasta los vientos y el mar le obedecen?».
Liberación de dos endemoniados(F)
28 Cuando Jesús llegó al otro lado, a la región de los gadarenos,[c] dos endemoniados salieron a su encuentro de entre los sepulcros. Eran tan violentos que nadie se atrevía a pasar por aquel camino. 29 De pronto, gritaron a Jesús:
—¿Por qué te entrometes, Hijo de Dios? ¿Has venido aquí a atormentarnos antes del tiempo señalado?
30 A cierta distancia de ellos estaba alimentándose una manada de muchos cerdos. 31 Los demonios rogaron a Jesús:
—Si nos expulsas, mándanos a la manada de cerdos.
32 —Vayan —les dijo.
Así que salieron de los hombres y entraron en los cerdos; entonces toda la manada se precipitó al lago por el despeñadero y murió en el agua. 33 Los que cuidaban los cerdos salieron huyendo al pueblo y avisaron de todo, incluso de lo que había sucedido a los endemoniados. 34 Entonces todos los del pueblo fueron al encuentro de Jesús. Y cuando lo vieron, le suplicaron que se alejara de esa región.

Jesús sana a un leproso(A)
8 Cuando Jesús bajó del monte, mucha gente lo siguió. 2 En esto se le acercó un hombre enfermo de lepra, el cual se puso de rodillas delante de él y le dijo:
—Señor, si quieres, puedes limpiarme de mi enfermedad.
3 Jesús lo tocó con la mano, y dijo:
—Quiero. ¡Queda limpio!
Al momento, el leproso quedó limpio de su enfermedad. 4 Jesús añadió:
—Mira, no se lo digas a nadie; solamente ve y preséntate al sacerdote, y lleva la ofrenda que ordenó Moisés, para que conste ante los sacerdotes.
Jesús sana al criado de un capitán romano(B)
5 Al entrar Jesús en Cafarnaúm, un capitán romano se le acercó para hacerle un ruego. 6 Le dijo:
—Señor, mi criado está en casa enfermo, paralizado y sufriendo terribles dolores.
7 Jesús le respondió:
—Iré a sanarlo.
8 El capitán contestó:
—Señor, yo no merezco que entres en mi casa; solamente da la orden, y mi criado quedará sano. 9 Porque yo mismo estoy bajo órdenes superiores, y a la vez tengo soldados bajo mi mando. Cuando le digo a uno de ellos que vaya, va; cuando le digo a otro que venga, viene; y cuando mando a mi criado que haga algo, lo hace.
10 Jesús se quedó admirado al oír esto, y dijo a los que le seguían:
—Les aseguro que no he encontrado a nadie en Israel con tanta fe como este hombre. 11 Y les digo que muchos vendrán de oriente y de occidente, y se sentarán a comer con Abraham, Isaac y Jacob en el reino de los cielos, 12 pero los que deberían estar en el reino, serán echados a la oscuridad de afuera. Entonces vendrán el llanto y la desesperación.
13 Luego Jesús dijo al capitán:
—Vete a tu casa, y que se haga tal como has creído.
En ese mismo momento el criado quedó sano.
Jesús sana a la suegra de Pedro(C)
14 Jesús fue a casa de Pedro, donde encontró a la suegra de éste en cama y con fiebre. 15 Jesús tocó entonces la mano de ella, y la fiebre se le quitó, así que ella se levantó y comenzó a atenderlo.
Jesús sana a muchos enfermos(D)
16 Al anochecer llevaron a Jesús muchas personas endemoniadas; y con una orden expulsó a los espíritus malos, y también sanó a todos los enfermos. 17 Esto sucedió para que se cumpliera lo que anunció el profeta Isaías, cuando dijo: «Él tomó nuestras debilidades y cargó con nuestras enfermedades.»
Para seguir a Jesús(E)
18 Jesús, al verse rodeado por la multitud, dio orden de pasar al otro lado del lago. 19 Entonces se le acercó un maestro de la ley, y le dijo:
—Maestro, deseo seguirte a dondequiera que vayas.
20 Jesús le contestó:
—Las zorras tienen cuevas y las aves tienen nidos, pero el Hijo del hombre no tiene donde recostar la cabeza.
21 Otro, que era uno de sus discípulos, le dijo:
—Señor, déjame ir primero a enterrar a mi padre.
22 Jesús le contestó:
—Sígueme, y deja que los muertos entierren a sus muertos.
Jesús calma la tormenta(F)
23 Jesús subió a la barca, y sus discípulos lo acompañaron. 24 En esto se desató sobre el lago una tormenta tan fuerte que las olas cubrían la barca. Pero Jesús se había dormido. 25 Entonces sus discípulos fueron a despertarlo, diciéndole:
—¡Señor, sálvanos! ¡Nos estamos hundiendo!
26 Él les contestó:
—¿Por qué tanto miedo? ¡Qué poca fe tienen ustedes!
Dicho esto, se levantó y dio una orden al viento y al mar, y todo quedó completamente tranquilo. 27 Ellos, admirados, se preguntaban:
—¿Pues quién será éste, que hasta los vientos y el mar lo obedecen?
Los endemoniados de Gadara(G)
28 Cuando Jesús llegó al otro lado del lago, a la tierra de Gadara, dos endemoniados salieron de entre las tumbas y se acercaron a él. Eran tan feroces que nadie podía pasar por aquel camino; 29 y se pusieron a gritar:
—¡No te metas con nosotros, Hijo de Dios! ¿Viniste acá para atormentarnos antes de tiempo?
30 A cierta distancia de allí había muchos cerdos comiendo, 31 y los demonios le rogaron a Jesús:
—Si nos expulsas, déjanos entrar en esos cerdos.
32 Jesús les dijo:
—Vayan.
Los demonios salieron de los hombres y entraron en los cerdos; y al momento todos los cerdos echaron a correr pendiente abajo hasta el lago, y allí se ahogaron.
33 Los que cuidaban de los cerdos salieron huyendo, y al llegar al pueblo comenzaron a contar lo sucedido, todo lo que había pasado con los endemoniados. 34 Entonces todos los del pueblo salieron a donde estaba Jesús, y al verlo le rogaron que se fuera de aquellos lugares.

Jesus Heals a Sick Man(A)
8 When Jesus came down from the ·hill [mountainside], ·great crowds [many people] followed him. 2 Then a ·man with a skin disease [T leper; C the term does not refer to modern leprosy (Hansen’s disease), but to various skin disorders; see Lev. 14] came to Jesus. The man ·bowed down [knelt] before him and said, “Lord, you can ·heal me [L make me clean; C such skin disorders rendered the victim ceremonially unclean] if you ·will [choose; are willing].”
3 Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man and said, “I ·will [do choose; am willing]. Be ·healed [L cleansed]!” And immediately the man was ·healed [L cleansed] from his disease. 4 Then Jesus said to him, “Don’t tell anyone about this. But go and show yourself to the priest and offer the ·gift [offering; sacrifice] Moses commanded for people who are made well [Lev. 14:1–32]. This will ·show the people [be a public testimony to; be evidence for] what I have done.”
Jesus Heals a Soldier’s Servant(B)
5 When Jesus entered the city of Capernaum, an ·army officer [L centurion] came to him, ·begging [pleading] for help. 6 The officer said, “Lord, my servant is at home in bed. He ·can’t move his body [is paralyzed] and ·is in much pain [suffering terribly].”
7 Jesus said to the officer, “·I will go and heal him. [or Shall I go and heal him?]”
8 The officer answered, “Lord [or Sir], I ·am not worthy [do not deserve] for you to come into my house. You only need to ·command it [L say the word], and my servant will be healed. 9 [L For] I, too, am a man ·under the authority of others [L under authority], and I have soldiers under my command. I tell one soldier, ‘Go,’ and he goes. I tell another soldier, ‘Come,’ and he comes. I say to my ·servant [slave], ‘Do this,’ and my ·servant [slave] does it.”
10 When Jesus heard this, he was amazed. He said to those who were following him, “I tell you the truth, ·this is the greatest faith I have found [L I haven’t found such faith], ·even in Israel [or in all Israel]. 11 Many people will come from the east and from the west and will ·sit and eat [L recline; C the posture for a banquet or dinner party] with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven [C the messianic banquet, a metaphor for God’s restoration of creation; Is. 25:6–8]. 12 But ·those people who should be in [the heirs of; or the subjects of; L the sons of] the kingdom will be thrown ·outside into the darkness [into the outer darkness], where ·people will cry and grind their teeth with pain [L there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth; C metaphors for agony and torment].”
13 Then Jesus said to the ·officer [L centurion], “Go home. ·Your servant will be healed just as you believed he would [L Let it be done for you just as you have believed].” And his servant was healed that ·same hour [exact time].
Jesus Heals Many People(C)
14 When Jesus went to Peter’s house, he saw that Peter’s mother-in-law was ·sick in bed [lying down] with a fever. 15 Jesus touched her hand, and the fever left her. Then she stood up and began ·to serve [waiting on] Jesus.
16 That evening people brought to Jesus many who ·had demons [were demon-possessed]. Jesus ·spoke and the demons left them [L drove/cast out the demons with a word/command], and he healed all the sick. 17 He did these things to ·bring about [fulfill] what Isaiah the prophet had said:
“He took our ·suffering [sicknesses; weaknesses]
and ·carried [bore; removed] our diseases [Is. 53:4].”
People Want to Follow Jesus(D)
18 When Jesus saw the crowd around him, he ·told [instructed; ordered] his ·followers [disciples] to ·go [cross] to the other side of the lake. 19 Then a ·teacher of the law [scribe] came to Jesus and said, “·Teacher [Master], I will follow you any place you go.”
20 Jesus said to him, “The foxes have ·holes [dens] to live in, and the birds [L of the sky] have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to ·rest [lay] his head.”
21 Another man, one of Jesus’ ·followers [disciples], said to him, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”
22 But Jesus told him, “Follow me, and let the people who are dead [C spiritually] bury their own dead.”
Jesus Calms a Storm(E)
23 Jesus got into a boat, and his ·followers [disciples] ·went with [L followed] him. 24 [Suddenly; L And look/T behold] A ·great [fierce] storm arose on the ·lake [sea] so that waves ·covered [swept over] the boat, but Jesus was sleeping. 25 His ·followers [disciples] went to him and woke him, saying, “Lord, save us! We ·will drown [L are lost/perishing]!”
26 Jesus answered, “Why are you ·afraid [cowardly]? ·You don’t have enough faith [or How little faith you have!; T You of little faith].” Then Jesus got up and ·gave a command to [reprimanded; rebuked] the wind and the waves, and it became completely calm [C paralleling God’s subduing of the waters representing chaos in the OT; Ps. 65:7; 89:9; 107:29].
27 The men were amazed and said, “What kind of man is this? Even the wind and the ·waves [L sea] obey him!”
Jesus Heals Two Men with Demons(F)
28 When Jesus arrived at the other side of the lake in the ·area [region; territory] of the Gadarene[a] people [C from Gadara, an area southeast of Lake Galilee; the exact location is uncertain], two ·men who had demons in them [demon-possessed men; demoniacs] came out of the ·burial caves [tombs] and met him. These men were so ·dangerous [violent; fierce] that people could not ·use the road by those caves [L pass that way]. 29 They shouted, “·What do you want with us [or Leave us alone; What business do we have with each other?; L What to me and to you?], Son of God? Did you come here to ·torture [torment] us before the ·right time [or appointed time; L time; C the day of judgment]?”
30 ·Near that place there [In the distance] was a large herd of pigs feeding. 31 The demons begged Jesus, “If you ·make us leave these men [L drive/cast us out], please send us into that herd of pigs [C ritually unclean animals].”
32 Jesus said to them, “Go!” So the demons ·left [came out of] the men and went into the pigs. Then [L look; T behold] the whole herd rushed down the ·hill [steep bank; precipice] into the ·lake [sea] and ·were drowned [L died in the waters]. 33 The herdsmen ·ran away [fled] and went into town, where they told about all of this and what had happened to the ·men who had demons [demon-possessed men; demoniacs]. 34 Then [L look; T behold] the whole town went out to ·see [meet] Jesus. When they saw him, they begged him to leave their ·area [region; territory].

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)
