Chúa Chữa Lành Người Phung

(Mác 1:40-45; Lu 5:12-16)

Khi Ngài từ trên núi xuống, một đoàn dân rất đông đi theo Ngài. Này, một người phung đến quỳ trước mặt Ngài và nói, “Lạy Chúa, nếu Ngài muốn, Ngài có thể chữa cho con được sạch.”

Ngài đưa tay, chạm vào người phung, và nói, “Ta muốn; hãy sạch đi.” Ngay lập tức bệnh phung biến mất.

Ðức Chúa Jesus bảo người ấy, “Ngươi khoan nói cho ai biết, nhưng hãy đi trình diện với các tư tế và dâng của lễ như Môi-se đã truyền, để làm chứng cho họ.”

Chúa Chữa Lành cho Ðầy Tớ của Một Ðại Ðội Trưởng La-mã

(Lu 7:1-10)

Khi Ngài vào Thành Ca-bê-na-um, một viên đại đội trưởng[a] đến gặp Ngài và nài xin, “Lạy Chúa, đầy tớ của tôi bị bịnh bại, đang nằm liệt ở nhà, thật đau khổ vô cùng.”

Ðức Chúa Jesus nói với ông, “Ta sẽ đến chữa lành cho người ấy.”

Viên đại đội trưởng thưa, “Lạy Chúa, tôi chẳng xứng đáng để rước Ngài vào nhà tôi, nhưng tôi chỉ ước ao được Ngài phán cho một lời thì đầy tớ tôi chắc chắn sẽ được lành. Vì tôi đang ở dưới quyền người khác, và tôi cũng có các binh sĩ ở dưới quyền tôi. Tôi bảo người này, ‘Ði,’ thì người ấy đi; tôi bảo người kia, ‘Ðến,’ thì người ấy đến; hoặc tôi bảo đầy tớ của tôi, ‘Hãy làm việc này,’ thì người ấy làm việc đó.”

10 Nghe vậy Ðức Chúa Jesus khen và nói với những người đi theo Ngài, “Quả thật, Ta nói với các ngươi, ngay cả trong dân I-sơ-ra-ên Ta cũng chưa thấy ai có đức tin lớn như người này. 11 Ta nói với các ngươi, từ phương đông và phương tây, nhiều người sẽ đến và ngồi dự tiệc với Áp-ra-ham, I-sác, và Gia-cốp trong vương quốc thiên đàng. 12 Nhưng những kẻ mang danh là con dân trong vương quốc sẽ bị quăng ra chỗ tối tăm, nơi có khóc lóc và nghiến răng.”

13 Kế đó Ðức Chúa Jesus nói với viên đại đội trưởng, “Ngươi hãy về đi. Ngươi tin như thế nào, ngươi sẽ được như vậy.” Ngay giờ đó người đầy tớ ấy được chữa lành.

Chúa Chữa Lành cho Nhạc Mẫu của Phi-rơ

(Mác 1:29-34; Lu 4:38-41)

14 Khi Ðức Chúa Jesus đến nhà của Phi-rơ, Ngài thấy nhạc mẫu của ông bị sốt nằm mê man trên giường. 15 Ngài chạm vào tay bà, cơn sốt liền lìa khỏi bà. Bà đứng dậy và phục vụ Ngài.

16 Chiều tối đến, người ta đem đến Ngài nhiều người bị quỷ ám. Ngài dùng lời nói đuổi quỷ ra và chữa lành mọi người bịnh. 17 Thế là lời đấng Tiên Tri Ê-sai đã nói được ứng nghiệm,

“Ngài đã mang lấy tật nguyền của chúng ta và đã gánh lấy bệnh tật của chúng ta.”Ê-sai 53:4

Muốn Theo Chúa

(Lu 9:57-60)

18 Khi Ðức Chúa Jesus thấy đoàn dân đông vây quanh Ngài, Ngài truyền lịnh đi qua bờ bên kia. 19 Bấy giờ một thầy dạy giáo luật đến gần và nói với Ngài, “Thưa Thầy, Thầy đi đâu tôi sẽ đi theo đó.”

20 Ðức Chúa Jesus nói với ông, “Con cáo có hang, chim trời có tổ, nhưng Con Người không có chỗ gối đầu.”

21 Một người khác trong các môn đồ thưa với Ngài, “Lạy Chúa, xin cho con về nhà chôn cất cha con đã.”

22 Nhưng Ðức Chúa Jesus bảo người ấy, “Ngươi hãy theo Ta, và hãy để kẻ chết chôn người chết của họ.”

Chúa Dẹp Yên Bão Tố

(Mác 4:35-41; Lu 8:22-25)

23 Sau khi Ngài xuống thuyền, các môn đồ Ngài cũng xuống theo. 24 Này, biển nổi cơn bão tố dữ dội, sóng lớn dường như muốn phủ lấy chiếc thuyền, nhưng Ngài đang ngủ. 25 Các môn đồ Ngài đến gần, đánh thức Ngài dậy, và nói rằng, “Lạy Chúa, xin Ngài cứu cho. Chúng ta sắp chết rồi.”

26 Ngài nói với họ, “Sao các ngươi sợ hãi thế, hỡi những kẻ yếu đức tin?” Rồi Ngài đứng dậy quở gió và biển; gió và biển liền yên lặng như tờ.

27 Những người đó kinh ngạc và nói, “Người này là ai mà cả gió và biển đều vâng lịnh như thế?”

Hai Người Bị Quỷ Ám

(Mác 5:1-20; Lu 8:26-39)

28 Khi Ngài đến bờ bên kia và vào địa phận của dân miền Ga-đa-rê-nê, hai người bị quỷ ám từ trong nghĩa địa đi ra đón Ngài. Họ rất hung dữ đến nỗi không ai dám đi qua đường đó. 29 Này, họ gào to rằng, “Hỡi Con Ðức Chúa Trời, chúng tôi nào có gây sự gì với Ngài chăng? Ngài đến đây để hình phạt chúng tôi trước kỳ sao?”

30 Lúc ấy ở đàng xa, có một bầy heo rất đông đang ăn. 31 Các quỷ cầu xin Ngài, “Nếu Ngài đuổi chúng tôi, xin cho chúng tôi nhập vào bầy heo đó.”

32 Ngài phán với chúng, “Ði ra!” Chúng ra khỏi hai người ấy và nhập vào bầy heo. Kìa, cả bầy heo từ sườn núi sồng sộc lao mình xuống biển và chết chìm hết thảy.

33 Những người chăn heo bỏ chạy, vào thành, kể lại mọi sự, và kể luôn những gì đã xảy đến cho hai người bị quỷ ám. 34 Thế là cả thành đi ra gặp Ðức Chúa Jesus; khi gặp Ngài, họ nài xin Ngài rời khỏi địa phận của họ.

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)

Jesus Cleanses a Leper

When he came down from the mountain, (A)great crowds followed him. (B)And behold, a leper[a] came to him and (C)knelt before him, saying, “Lord, if you will, you can make me clean.” And Jesus[b] stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I will; be clean.” And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. And Jesus said to him, (D)“See that you say nothing to anyone, but go, (E)show yourself to the priest and (F)offer the gift that Moses commanded, (G)for a proof to them.”

The Faith of a Centurion

(H)When he had entered Capernaum, a centurion came forward to him, appealing to him, “Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, suffering terribly.” And he said to him, “I will come and heal him.” But the centurion replied, “Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof, but (I)only say the word, and my servant will be healed. For I too am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. And I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes, and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes, and to my servant,[c] ‘Do this,’ and he does it.” 10 When Jesus heard this, (J)he marveled and said to those who followed him, “Truly, I tell you, with (K)no one in Israel[d] have I found such faith. 11 I tell you, (L)many will come from east and west and recline at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven, 12 (M)while the sons of the kingdom (N)will be thrown into the outer darkness. In that place (O)there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” 13 And to the centurion Jesus said, “Go; let it be done for you (P)as you have believed.” (Q)And the servant was healed at that very moment.

Jesus Heals Many

14 (R)And when Jesus entered Peter's house, he saw (S)his mother-in-law lying sick with a fever. 15 He (T)touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she rose and began to serve him. 16 That evening they brought to him many who were (U)oppressed by demons, and he cast out the spirits (V)with a word and healed all who were sick. 17 (W)This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah: (X)“He took our illnesses and bore our diseases.”

The Cost of Following Jesus

18 Now (Y)when Jesus saw a crowd around him, (Z)he gave orders to go over to the other side. 19 (AA)And a scribe came up 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 Another of the disciples said to him, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.” 22 And Jesus said to him, “Follow me, and leave (AB)the dead to bury their own dead.”

Jesus Calms a Storm

23 (AC)And when he got into the boat, his disciples followed him. 24 And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but (AD)he was asleep. 25 And they went and woke him, saying, (AE)“Save us, Lord; we are perishing.” 26 And he said to them, “Why are you (AF)afraid, (AG)O you of little faith?” Then he rose and (AH)rebuked the winds and the sea, and (AI)there was a great calm. 27 And the men (AJ)marveled, saying, “What sort of man is this, that even (AK)winds and sea obey him?”

Jesus Heals Two Men with Demons

28 (AL)And when he came to the other side, to the country of the Gadarenes,[e] two (AM)demon-possessed[f] men met him, coming out of the tombs, so fierce that no one could pass that way. 29 And behold, they (AN)cried out, “What have you to do with us, (AO)O Son of God? Have you come here to torment us (AP)before the time?” 30 Now a herd of many pigs was feeding at some distance from them. 31 And the demons begged him, saying, “If you cast us out, send us away into the herd of pigs.” 32 And he said to them, “Go.” So they came out and went into the pigs, and behold, the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned in the waters. 33 The herdsmen fled, and going into the city they told everything, especially what had happened to the (AQ)demon-possessed men. 34 And behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus, and when they saw him, (AR)they begged him to leave their region.

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.
