馬 太 福 音 8
Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
耶稣治愈麻风病人
8 耶稣下山时，身后跟着一大群人。 2 一个麻风病人来见耶稣，跪在他面前说∶“先生，如果您愿意，您就能治好我的麻疯病！” 3 耶稣伸出手摸着他说∶“我愿意，痊愈吧！”立刻，麻疯病人就痊愈了。 4 耶稣对他说∶“不要把这事告诉任何人，但是，你要到祭司那里去让他查看，还要献上礼物，即摩西命令被治愈人所献的礼物，向每个人表明你已痊愈了。” [a]
耶稣治愈军官的仆人
5 耶稣到迦百农去了，当他进城时，一个罗马军官来见他，请求他的帮助。 6 罗马军官说∶“主啊，我的仆人病重卧床不起。他瘫痪了，非常痛苦。” 7 耶稣对他说∶“我这就去给他治病。”
8 罗马军官说∶“主啊，我不配请您进我家。您只要吩咐一声，我的仆人就会得到治愈的。 9 我知道您做得到，因为我上有长官，下有士兵。如果我叫一个士兵∶‘走开！’他就乖乖地走开；如果我命令另一个∶‘过来！’他就会乖乖地过来。要是我对仆人说∶‘你去干这个’，他就得去干。”
10 耶稣听到这些话，非常惊讶，对他身边的人说∶“说实话，甚至在以色列 [b]，我还没有见到过比他更有信仰的人。 11 我告诉你们，还有很多这样的人会从东方和西方到这里来，他们会在天国的宴席上，与亚伯拉罕，以撒和雅各 [c]一起进餐。 12 而那些本来是天国的继承人，却反而要被驱逐到外边的黑暗里去，他们将在那里咬牙切齿地痛哭。”
13 耶稣对罗马军官说∶“你回家吧，你将如愿以偿。”与此同时，军官的仆人立刻被治愈了。
耶稣治愈许多病人
14 当耶稣来到彼得家里时，看到彼得的岳母发高烧，躺在床上。 15 耶稣一碰她的手，烧就退了，于是她便起来开始招待耶稣。
16 那天晚上，人们带着许多被鬼附体的人来见耶稣，耶稣只用一句话就赶走了所有的鬼。他还治好了所有的病人。 17 这就应验了先知以赛亚的预言：
“他解除了我们的疾病，
他承担了我们的病患。” (A)
跟随耶稣
18 耶稣看见身边围着许多人，就吩咐他们到湖对岸去。 19 一位律法师走过来，对耶稣说∶“老师，无论您走到哪里，我都跟随着您。” 20 耶稣对他说∶“狐狸有穴，飞鸟有巢，可 是人子连枕头的地方都没有。” [d] 21 有一个门徒对耶稣说∶“主，我会跟随你， 但是，请先让我回去埋葬我的父亲。” 22 但是，耶稣对他说∶“跟我走，让死人去埋葬他们自己的死人吧。”
门徒目睹耶稣的力量
23 耶稣登上一条船，门徒们与他同行。 24 船离开岸后，湖面上狂风大作，波浪淹没了甲板。这时耶稣却在睡觉 25 门徒们过去把他叫醒， 说∶“主，救救我们吧！我们就要被淹死了。”
26 耶稣对他们说∶“你们为什么害怕呢？你们的信仰不够强。”于是，耶稣站起身来喝斥狂风和湖水，风便停了，湖面也变得非常平静。
27 人们惊叹不已，说∶“他是什么人？连风和水浪都服从他。”
耶稣从两人身上驱鬼
28 耶稣到达湖对岸加大拉 [e]人居住的地区。他遇见两个从墓穴里出来的人，他们被鬼附体，非常凶恶，没人能从他们坟边的那条路上经过。 29 他们对耶稣喊叫∶“您要怎样处置我们呢，上帝之子？在约定的时刻到来之前，你就要惩罚我们吗？”
30 这时，远处有一大群猪在吃食。 31 鬼乞求耶稣说∶“如果你要把我们从这两个人身上赶走，就把我们派到猪群里去吧。”
32 耶稣对他们说∶“你们去吧。”鬼就离开那两个人，钻到猪身上去了。于是，整个猪群狂奔下山崖，掉进湖里淹死了。 33 放猪的人跑到了城里，把所发生的事情一五一十地告诉给人们，特别是关于被鬼附体的那些人遇到的事情。 34 人们倾城而出来见耶稣。他们见到耶稣后，就央求他离开此地。

Matthew 8
King James Version
8 When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.
2 And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
3 And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
4 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.
5 And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him,
6 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.
7 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.
8 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.
9 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.
Matthew 8
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.
