Mateo 8
La Biblia de las Américas
Curación de un leproso
8 Y cuando bajó del monte, grandes multitudes le seguían. 2 (A)Y he aquí, se le acercó un leproso y se postró ante Él[a](B), diciendo: Señor, si quieres, puedes limpiarme. 3 Y extendiendo Jesús la mano, lo tocó, diciendo: Quiero; sé limpio. Y al instante quedó limpio de su lepra[b](C). 4 Entonces Jesús le dijo*: Mira, no se lo digas a nadie(D), sino ve(E), muéstrate al sacerdote(F) y presenta la ofrenda que ordenó Moisés, para que les sirva de testimonio a ellos.
Jesús sana al criado del centurión
5 (G)Y cuando entró Jesús[c] en Capernaúm se le acercó un centurión suplicándole, 6 y diciendo: Señor, mi criado[d] está postrado en casa, paralítico(H), sufriendo mucho[e]. 7 Y Jesús le dijo*: Yo iré y lo sanaré. 8 Pero el centurión respondió y dijo: Señor, no soy digno de que entres bajo mi techo; mas solamente di la palabra[f] y mi criado[g] quedará sano. 9 Porque yo también soy hombre bajo autoridad(I), con[h] soldados a mis órdenes[i]; y digo a este: «Ve», y va; y al otro: «Ven», y viene; y a mi siervo: «Haz esto», y lo hace. 10 Al oírlo Jesús, se maravilló y dijo a los que le seguían: En verdad os digo que en Israel[j] no he hallado en nadie una fe tan grande. 11 Y os digo que vendrán muchos del oriente y del occidente(J), y se sentarán[k] a la mesa con Abraham, Isaac y Jacob en el reino de los cielos. 12 Pero los hijos del reino(K) serán arrojados a las tinieblas de afuera(L); allí será el llanto y el crujir de dientes(M). 13 Entonces Jesús dijo al centurión: Vete; así como has creído(N), te sea hecho. Y el criado[l] fue sanado en esa misma hora.
Jesús sana a la suegra de Pedro y a muchos otros
14 (O)Al llegar Jesús a casa de Pedro, vio a la suegra de este[m] que yacía en cama[n] con fiebre. 15 Le tocó la mano, y la fiebre la dejó; y ella se levantó y le servía. 16 Y al atardecer, le trajeron muchos endemoniados(P); y expulsó a los espíritus con su palabra, y sanó a todos los que estaban enfermos(Q), 17 para que se cumpliera lo que fue dicho por medio del profeta Isaías cuando dijo: El mismo tomo nuestras flaquezas y llevo[o] nuestras enfermedades(R).
Lo que demanda el discipulado
18 Viendo Jesús una multitud a su alrededor, dio orden(S) de pasar al otro lado. 19 (T)Y un escriba se le acercó y le dijo: Maestro, te seguiré adondequiera que vayas. 20 Y Jesús le dijo*: Las zorras tienen madrigueras y las aves del cielo nidos, pero el Hijo del Hombre(U) no tiene dónde recostar la cabeza. 21 Otro de los discípulos le dijo: Señor, permíteme que vaya primero y entierre a mi padre. 22 Pero Jesús le dijo*: Sígueme, y deja que los muertos entierren a sus muertos(V).
Jesús calma la tempestad
23 (W)Cuando entró Jesús[p] en la barca, sus discípulos le siguieron. 24 Y de pronto[q] se desató una gran tormenta[r] en el mar, de modo que las olas cubrían la barca; pero Jesús[s] estaba dormido. 25 Y llegándose a Él, le despertaron, diciendo: ¡Señor, sálvanos(X), que perecemos! 26 Y Él les dijo*: ¿Por qué estáis amedrentados, hombres de poca fe(Y)? Entonces se levantó, reprendió a los vientos y al mar, y sobrevino una gran calma. 27 Y los hombres se maravillaron, diciendo: ¿Quién es este, que aun los vientos y el mar le obedecen?
Los endemoniados gadarenos
28 (Z)Cuando llegó al otro lado, a la tierra de los gadarenos, le salieron al encuentro dos endemoniados(AA) que salían de los sepulcros, violentos en extremo, de manera que nadie podía pasar por aquel camino. 29 Y[t] gritaron, diciendo: ¿Qué tenemos que ver contigo[u], Hijo de Dios(AB)? ¿Has venido aquí para atormentarnos antes del tiempo[v]? 30 A cierta distancia de ellos había una piara de muchos cerdos paciendo; 31 y los demonios le rogaban, diciendo: Si vas a echarnos fuera, mándanos a la piara de cerdos. 32 Entonces Él les dijo: ¡Id! Y ellos salieron y entraron en los cerdos; y he aquí que la piara entera se precipitó por un despeñadero al mar, y perecieron en las aguas. 33 Los que cuidaban la piara huyeron; y fueron a la ciudad y lo contaron todo, incluso[w] lo de los endemoniados(AC). 34 Y[x] toda la ciudad salió al encuentro de Jesús; y cuando le vieron, le rogaron que se fuera de su comarca(AD).

English Standard Version
Jesus Cleanses a Leper
8 When he came down from the mountain, (A)great crowds followed him. 2 (B)And behold, a leper[a] came to him and (C)knelt before him, saying, “Lord, if you will, you can make me clean.” 3 And Jesus[b] stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I will; be clean.” And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. 4 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
5 (H)When he had entered Capernaum, a centurion came forward to him, appealing to him, 6 “Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, suffering terribly.” 7 And he said to him, “I will come and heal him.” 8 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. 9 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.

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)
