² And ^(A)a man with ^[a]leprosy came to Him and ^[b](B)bowed down before Him, and said, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.” ^3 [c]Jesus reached out with His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” And immediately his ^(C)leprosy was cleansed. ⁴ And Jesus *said to him, “^(D)See that you tell no one; but ^(E)go, ^(F)show yourself to the priest and present the ^[d]offering that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”

The Centurion’s Faith

⁵ And ^(A)when ^[a]Jesus entered Capernaum, a ^[b]centurion came to Him, begging Him, ⁶ and saying, “^[c]Lord, my ^[d]servant is lying ^(B)paralyzed at home, terribly tormented.” ⁷ Jesus *said to him, “I will come and heal him.” ⁸ But the centurion replied, “^[e]Lord, I am not worthy for You to come under my roof, but just ^[f]say the word, and my ^[g]servant will be healed. ⁹ For I also am a man under ^(C)authority, with soldiers under me; and I say to this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes, and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes, and to my slave, ‘Do this!’ and he does it.” ¹⁰ Now when Jesus heard this, He was amazed and said to those who were following, “Truly I say to you, I have not found such great faith ^[h]with anyone in Israel. ¹¹ And I say to you that many ^(D)will come from east and west, and ^[i]recline at the table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven; ¹² but ^(E)the sons of the kingdom will be thrown out into ^(F)the outer darkness; in that place ^(G)there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” ¹³ And Jesus said to the centurion, “Go; ^[j]it shall be done for you ^(H)as you have believed.” And the ^[k]servant was healed at that very ^[l]moment.

Peter’s Mother-in-law and Many Others Healed

^14 (A)When Jesus came into Peter’s ^[a]home, He saw his mother-in-law lying sick in bed with a fever. ¹⁵ And He touched her hand, and the fever left her; and she got up and ^[b]waited on Him.

Jesus Sends Demons into Pigs

^28 (A)And when He came to the other side into the country of the Gadarenes, two ^(B)demon-possessed men confronted Him as they were coming out of the tombs. They were so extremely violent that no one could pass by that way. ²⁹ And they cried out, saying, “^[a](C)What business do You have with us, Son of God? Have You come here to torment us before ^[b]the time?” ³⁰ Now there was a herd of many pigs feeding at a distance from them. ³¹ And the demons begged Him, saying, “If You are going to cast us out, send us into the herd of pigs.” ³² And He said to them, “Go!” And they came out and went into the pigs; and behold, the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea and ^[c]drowned in the waters. ³³ And the herdsmen ran away, and went to the city and reported everything, ^[d]including what had happened to the ^(D)demon-possessed men. ³⁴ And behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus; and when they saw Him, ^(E)they pleaded with Him to leave their region.

^2 (A)And they brought to Him a ^(B)paralyzed man lying on a stretcher. And seeing their faith, Jesus said to the man who was paralyzed, “^(C)Take courage, ^[a]son; ^(D)your sins are forgiven.” ³ And some of the scribes said ^[b]to themselves, “This man is ^(E)blaspheming!” ⁴ And Jesus, ^(F)perceiving their thoughts, said, “Why are you thinking evil in your hearts? ⁵ For which is easier, to say, ‘^(G)Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’? ⁶ But so that you may know that ^(H)the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—then He *said to the ^(I)paralyzed man, “Get up, pick up your stretcher and go home.” ⁷ And he got up and ^[c]went home.

²⁰ And behold, a woman who had been suffering from a hemorrhage for twelve years came up behind Him, and touched ^(A)the ^[a]border of His ^[b]cloak; ²¹ for she was ^[c]saying ^[d]to herself, “If I only ^(B)touch His cloak, I will ^[e]get well.” ²² But Jesus, turning and seeing her, said, “Daughter, ^(C)take courage; ^(D)your faith has ^[f]made you well.” And ^[g]at once the woman was ^[h]made well.

²⁷ As Jesus went on from there, two men who were blind followed Him, crying out, “Have mercy on us, ^(A)Son of David!” ²⁸ And after He entered the house, the men who were blind came up to Him, and Jesus *said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They *said to Him, “Yes, Lord.” ²⁹ Then He touched their eyes, saying, “^[a]It shall be done for you ^(B)according to your faith.” ³⁰ And their eyes were opened. And Jesus ^(C)sternly warned them, saying, “See that no one knows about this!” ³¹ But they went out and ^(D)spread the news about Him throughout that land.

¹⁰ And a man was there whose hand was withered. And they questioned ^[a]Jesus, asking, “^(A)Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”—so that they might bring charges against Him. ¹¹ But He said to them, “^(B)What man ^[b]is there among you who ^[c]has a sheep, and if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will he not take hold of it and lift it out? ^12 (C)How much more valuable then is a person than a sheep! So then, it is lawful to do ^[d]good on the Sabbath.” ¹³ Then He *said to the man, “Stretch out your hand!” ^(D)He stretched it out, and it was restored to ^[e]normal, like the other.

The Faith of a Canaanite Woman

^21 (A)Jesus went away from there, and withdrew into the region of ^(B)Tyre and ^(C)Sidon. ²² And a Canaanite woman from that region came out and began to cry out, saying, “Have mercy on me, Lord, ^(D)Son of David; my daughter is severely ^(E)demon-possessed.” ²³ But He did not answer her with even a word. And His disciples came up and urged Him, saying, “Send her away, because she keeps shouting ^[a]at us!” ²⁴ But He answered and said, “I was sent only to ^(F)the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” ²⁵ But she came and ^(G)began ^[b]to bow down before Him, saying, “Lord, help me!” ²⁶ Yet He answered and said, “It is not ^[c]good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.” ²⁷ And she said, “Yes, Lord; but please help, for even the dogs feed on the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table.” ²⁸ Then Jesus said to her, “O woman, ^(H)your faith is great; it shall be done for you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed ^[d]at once.
