Matthäus 8
Schlachter 1951
Heilung eines Aussätzigen
8 Als er aber von dem Berg herabstieg, folgte ihm eine große Volksmenge nach. 2 Und siehe, ein Aussätziger kam, fiel vor ihm nieder und sprach: Herr, wenn du willst, kannst du mich reinigen. 3 Und Jesus streckte die Hand aus, rührte ihn an und sprach: Ich will; sei gereinigt! Und sogleich wurde er von seinem Aussatz rein. 4 Und Jesus spricht zu ihm: Sieh zu, daß du es niemand sagst; sondern gehe hin, zeige dich dem Priester und bringe das Opfer, das Mose befohlen hat, ihnen zum Zeugnis!
Heilung des Knechtes eines Hauptmanns
5 Als Jesus aber nach +Kapernaum kam, trat ein Hauptmann zu ihm, bat ihn 6 und sprach: Herr, mein Knecht liegt daheim gelähmt danieder und ist furchtbar geplagt! 7 Und Jesus spricht zu ihm: Ich will kommen und ihn heilen. 8 Der Hauptmann antwortete und sprach: Herr, ich bin nicht wert, daß du unter mein Dach kommst, sondern sprich nur ein Wort, so wird mein Knecht gesund werden. 9 Denn auch ich bin ein Mensch, der unter Vorgesetzten steht, und habe Kriegsknechte unter mir; und sage ich zu diesem: Geh hin! so geht er; und zu einem andern: Komm her! so kommt er; und zu meinem Knecht: Tu das! so tut er's.
10 Als Jesus das hörte, verwunderte er sich und sprach zu denen, die ihm nachfolgten: Wahrlich, ich sage euch, [einen] so großen Glauben habe ich in Israel[a] nicht gefunden! 11 Ich sage euch aber: Viele werden kommen von Morgen und Abend[b] und werden im Himmelreich mit Abraham, Isaak und Jakob zu Tisch sitzen ; 12 aber die Söhne des Reiches werden in die äußerste Finsternis[c] hinausgeworfen werden; dort wird Heulen und Zähneknirschen sein.
13 Und Jesus sprach zu dem Hauptmann: Geh hin, und dir geschehe, wie du geglaubt hast! Und sein Knecht wurde in derselben Stunde gesund .
Heilung der Schwiegermitter des Petrus und anderer Kranker
14 Und als Jesus in das Haus des Petrus kam, sah er, daß dessen Schwiegermutter daniederlag und das Fieber hatte. 15 Und er berührte ihre Hand, und das Fieber verließ sie, und sie stand auf und diente ihnen.
16 Als es aber Abend geworden war, brachten sie viele Besessene zu ihm, und er trieb die Geister aus durchs Wort und heilte alle Kranken; 17 damit erfüllt würde, was durch den Propheten Jesaja gesagt ist, der spricht: „Er hat unsere Gebrechen weggenommen und die Krankheiten getragen.“
Der Preis der Nachfolge Jesu
18 Als aber Jesus die große Volksmenge um sich sah, befahl er, ans jenseitige Ufer zu fahren. 19 Und ein Schriftgelehrter trat herzu und sprach zu ihm: Meister, ich will dir nachfolgen, wohin du auch gehst! 20 Und Jesus sprach zu ihm: Die Füchse haben Gruben, und die Vögel des Himmels haben Nester; aber des Menschen Sohn hat nicht, wo er sein Haupt hinlegen kann.
21 Ein anderer unter seinen Jüngern sprach zu ihm: Herr, erlaube mir, zuvor hinzugehen und meinen Vater zu begraben! 22 Jesus aber sprach zu ihm: Folge mir nach und laß die Toten ihre Toten begraben!
Jesus stillt den Sturm
23 Und er trat in das Schiff, und seine Jünger folgten ihm nach. 24 Und siehe, es erhob sich ein großer Sturm auf dem See, so daß das Schiff von den Wellen bedeckt wurde; er aber schlief. 25 Und seine Jünger traten zu ihm, weckten ihn auf und sprachen: Herr, rette uns, wir kommen um! 26 Da sprach er zu ihnen: Was seid ihr so furchtsam, ihr Kleingläubigen? Dann stand er auf und bedrohte die Winde und den See; und es entstand eine große Stille. 27 Die Menschen aber verwunderten sich und sprachen: Wer ist der, daß ihm auch die Winde und der See gehorsam sind?
Heilung von zwei Bessenen
28 Und als er ans jenseitige Ufer in die Landschaft der Gergesener kam, liefen ihm zwei Besessene entgegen, die kamen aus den Gräbern heraus und waren sehr gefährlich, so daß niemand auf jener Straße wandern konnte. 29 Und siehe, sie schrieen und sprachen: Was haben wir mit dir zu schaffen, Jesus, du Sohn Gottes? Bist du hierher gekommen, uns vor der Zeit zu quälen?
30 Es war aber fern von ihnen eine große Herde Schweine auf der Weide. 31 Und die Dämonen baten ihn und sprachen: Wenn du uns austreibst, so erlaube uns, in die Schweineherde zu fahren! 32 Und er sprach zu ihnen: Geht hin! Da fuhren sie aus und fuhren in die Schweineherde. Und siehe, die ganze Schweineherde stürzte sich den Abhang hinunter in den See, und sie kamen im Wasser um. 33 Die Hirten aber flohen, gingen in die Stadt und verkündigten alles, auch was mit den Besessenen vorgegangen war. 34 Und siehe, die ganze Stadt kam heraus, Jesus entgegen; und als sie ihn sahen, baten sie ihn, von ihren Grenzen zu weichen.

New King James Version
Jesus Cleanses a Leper(A)
8 When He had come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed Him. 2 (B)And behold, a leper came and (C)worshiped Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”
3 Then Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately his leprosy (D)was cleansed.
4 And Jesus said to him, (E)“See that you tell no one; but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that (F)Moses (G)commanded, as a testimony to them.”
Jesus Heals a Centurion’s Servant(H)
5 (I)Now when Jesus had entered Capernaum, a (J)centurion came to Him, pleading with Him, 6 saying, “Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, dreadfully tormented.”
7 And Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.”
8 The centurion answered and said, “Lord, (K)I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only (L)speak a word, and my servant will be healed. 9 For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And 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 When Jesus heard it, He marveled, and said to those who followed, “Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel! 11 And I say to you that (M)many will come from east and west, and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. 12 But (N)the sons of the kingdom (O)will be cast out into outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” 13 Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go your way; and as you have believed, so let it be done for you.” And his servant was healed that same hour.
Peter’s Mother-in-Law Healed(P)
14 (Q)Now when Jesus had come into Peter’s house, He saw (R)his wife’s mother lying sick with a fever. 15 So He touched her hand, and the fever left her. And she arose and served [a]them.
Many Healed in the Evening(S)
16 (T)When evening had come, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed. And He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick, 17 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying:
(U)“He Himself took our infirmities
And bore our sicknesses.”
The Cost of Discipleship(V)
18 And when Jesus saw great multitudes about Him, He gave a command to depart to the other side. 19 (W)Then a certain scribe came and said to Him, “Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go.”
20 And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.”
21 (X)Then another of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, (Y)let me first go and bury my father.”
22 But Jesus said to him, “Follow Me, and let the dead bury their own dead.”
Wind and Wave Obey Jesus(Z)
23 Now when He got into a boat, His disciples followed Him. 24 (AA)And suddenly a great tempest arose on the sea, so that the boat was covered with the waves. But He was asleep. 25 Then His disciples came to Him and awoke Him, saying, “Lord, save us! We are perishing!”
26 But He said to them, “Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?” Then (AB)He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. 27 So the men marveled, saying, [b]“Who can this be, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?”
Two Demon-Possessed Men Healed(AC)
28 (AD)When He had come to the other side, to the country of the [c]Gergesenes, there met Him two demon-possessed men, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that no one could pass that way. 29 And suddenly they cried out, saying, “What have we to do with You, Jesus, You Son of God? Have You come here to torment us before the time?”
30 Now a good way off from them there was a herd of many swine feeding. 31 So the demons begged Him, saying, “If You cast us out, [d]permit us to go away into the herd of swine.”
32 And He said to them, “Go.” So when they had come out, they went into the herd of swine. And suddenly the whole herd of swine ran violently down the steep place into the sea, and perished in the water.
33 Then those who kept them fled; and they went away into the city and told everything, including what had happened to the demon-possessed men. 34 And behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus. And when they saw Him, (AE)they begged Him to depart from their region.

New International Version
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)
