Ora, quando egli fu sceso dal monte, grandi folle lo seguirono.

Ed ecco, un lebbroso venne e l'adorò, dicendo: «Signore, se vuoi, tu puoi mondarmi».

Gesú, distesa la mano, lo toccò dicendo: «Sí, io lo voglio, sii mondato». E in quell'istante egli fu guarito dalla sua lebbra.

Allora Gesú gli disse: «Guardati dal dirlo ad alcuno; ma va mostrati al sacerdote, e presenta l'offerta prescritta da Mosè, affinché questo serva loro di testimonianza».

Quando Gesú fu entrato in Capernaum, un centurione venne a lui pregandolo,

e dicendo: «Signore, il mio servo giace in casa paralizzato e soffre grandemente».

E Gesú gli disse: «Io verrò e lo guarirò».

Il centurione, rispondendo, disse: «Signore, io non son degno che tu entri sotto il mio tetto; ma di' soltanto una parola, e il mio servo sarà guarito.

Perché io sono un uomo sotto l'autorità di altri e ho sotto di me dei soldati; e se dico all'uno: "Va'" egli va; e se dico all'altro: "Vieni" egli viene; e se dico al mio servo: "Fa' questo" egli lo fa».

10 E Gesú, avendo udite queste cose, si meravigliò, e disse a coloro che lo seguivano: «In verità vi dico, che neppure in Israele ho trovata una cosí grande fede.

11 Or io vi dico, che molti verranno da levante e da ponente e sederanno a tavola con Abrahamo, con Isacco e con Giacobbe, nel regno dei cieli.

12 Ma i figli del regno saranno gettati nelle tenebre di fuori. Lí sarà il pianto e lo stridor di denti»,

13 E Gesú disse al centurione: «Va' e ti sia fatto come hai creduto!». E il suo servo fu guarito in quell'istante.

14 Poi Gesú, entrato nella casa di Pietro, vide che la suocera di lui era a letto con la febbre.

15 Ed egli le toccò la mano e la febbre la lasciò, ed ella si alzò e prese a servirli.

16 Ora, fattosi sera, gli furono presentati molti indemoniati; ed egli, con la parola, scacciò gli spiriti e guarí tutti i malati,

17 affinché si adempisse ciò che fu detto dal profeta Isaia, quando disse: «Egli ha preso le nostre infermità e ha portato le nostre malattie».

18 Ora Gesú, vedendo intorno a sé grandi folle, comandò che si passasse all'altra riva,

19 Allora uno scriba, accostatosi, gli disse: «Maestro, io ti seguirò dovunque tu andrai».

20 E Gesú gli disse: «Le volpi hanno delle tane, e gli uccelli del cielo dei nidi, ma il Figlio dell'uomo non ha neppure dove posare il capo».

21 Poi un altro dei suoi discepoli gli disse: «Signore, permettimi di andare prima a seppellire mio padre».

22 Ma Gesú gli disse: «Seguimi, e lascia che i morti seppelliscano i loro morti».

23 Ed essendo egli salito nella barca, i suoi discepoli lo seguirono.

24 Ed ecco sollevarsi in mare una tempesta cosí violenta, che la barca era coperta dalle onde. Or egli dormiva.

25 E i suoi discepoli, accostatisi, lo svegliarono dicendo: «Signore salvaci, noi periamo!».

26 Ma egli disse loro: «Perché avete paura, uomini di poca fede?». E, alzatosi, sgridò i venti e il mare, e si fece gran bonaccia.

27 Allora gli uomini si meravigliarono, e dicevano: «Chi è costui, al quale anche il mare e i venti ubbidiscono?».

28 E quando giunse all'altra riva, nella regione dei Ghergheseni, gli si fecero incontro due indemoniati, usciti dai sepolcri, tanto furiosi che nessuno poteva passare per quella via.

29 Ed ecco, essi si misero a gridare, dicendo: «Che vi è tra noi e te, o Gesú, Figlio di Dio? Sei tu venuto qui, per tormentarci prima del tempo?».

30 Non lontano da loro, vi era un grande branco di porci che pascolava.

31 E i demoni lo pregavano, dicendo: «Se tu ci scacci, permettici di andare in quel branco di porci».

32 Ed egli disse loro: «Andate!». Cosi essi, usciti, se ne andarono in quel branco di porci, ed ecco tutto quel branco di porci si precipitò dal dirupo nel mare, e morirono nelle acque.

33 Coloro che li custodivano fuggirono e, andati nella città, raccontarono tutte queste cose, incluso il fatto degli indemoniati.

34 Ed ecco tutta la città uscí incontro a Gesú; e, come lo videro, lo pregarono di allontanarsi dal loro territorio.

καταβαντος δε αυτου απο του ορους ηκολουθησαν αυτω οχλοι πολλοι

και ιδου λεπρος προσελθων προσεκυνει αυτω λεγων κυριε εαν θελης δυνασαι με καθαρισαι

και εκτεινας την χειρα ηψατο αυτου λεγων θελω καθαρισθητι και ευθεως εκαθαρισθη αυτου η λεπρα

εισελθοντος δε αυτου εις καφαρναουμ προσηλθεν αυτω εκατονταρχος παρακαλων αυτον

και λεγων κυριε ο παις μου βεβληται εν τη οικια παραλυτικος δεινως βασανιζομενος

λεγει αυτω εγω ελθων θεραπευσω αυτον

αποκριθεις δε ο εκατονταρχος εφη κυριε ουκ ειμι ικανος ινα μου υπο την στεγην εισελθης αλλα μονον ειπε λογω και ιαθησεται ο παις μου

και γαρ εγω ανθρωπος ειμι υπο εξουσιαν [τασσομενος] εχων υπ εμαυτον στρατιωτας και λεγω τουτω πορευθητι και πορευεται και αλλω ερχου και ερχεται και τω δουλω μου ποιησον τουτο και ποιει

10 ακουσας δε ο ιησους εθαυμασεν και ειπεν τοις ακολουθουσιν αμην λεγω υμιν παρ ουδενι τοσαυτην πιστιν εν τω ισραηλ ευρον

11 λεγω δε υμιν οτι πολλοι απο ανατολων και δυσμων ηξουσιν και ανακλιθησονται μετα αβρααμ και ισαακ και ιακωβ εν τη βασιλεια των ουρανων

13 και ειπεν ο ιησους τω εκατονταρχη υπαγε ως επιστευσας γενηθητω σοι και ιαθη ο παις εν τη ωρα εκεινη

14 και ελθων ο ιησους εις την οικιαν πετρου ειδεν την πενθεραν αυτου βεβλημενην και πυρεσσουσαν

15 και ηψατο της χειρος αυτης και αφηκεν αυτην ο πυρετος και ηγερθη και διηκονει αυτω

23 και εμβαντι αυτω εις πλοιον ηκολουθησαν αυτω οι μαθηται αυτου

24 και ιδου σεισμος μεγας εγενετο εν τη θαλασση ωστε το πλοιον καλυπτεσθαι υπο των κυματων αυτος δε εκαθευδεν

25 και προσελθοντες ηγειραν αυτον λεγοντες κυριε σωσον απολλυμεθα

26 και λεγει αυτοις τι δειλοι εστε ολιγοπιστοι τοτε εγερθεις επετιμησεν τοις ανεμοις και τη θαλασση και εγενετο γαληνη μεγαλη

27 οι δε ανθρωποι εθαυμασαν λεγοντες ποταπος εστιν ουτος οτι και οι ανεμοι και η θαλασσα αυτω υπακουουσιν

28 και ελθοντος αυτου εις το περαν εις την χωραν των γαδαρηνων υπηντησαν αυτω δυο δαιμονιζομενοι εκ των μνημειων εξερχομενοι χαλεποι λιαν ωστε μη ισχυειν τινα παρελθειν δια της οδου εκεινης

29 και ιδου εκραξαν λεγοντες τι ημιν και σοι υιε του θεου ηλθες ωδε προ καιρου βασανισαι ημας

30 ην δε μακραν απ αυτων αγελη χοιρων πολλων βοσκομενη

31 οι δε δαιμονες παρεκαλουν αυτον λεγοντες ει εκβαλλεις ημας αποστειλον ημας εις την αγελην των χοιρων

32 και ειπεν αυτοις υπαγετε οι δε εξελθοντες απηλθον εις τους χοιρους και ιδου ωρμησεν πασα η αγελη κατα του κρημνου εις την θαλασσαν και απεθανον εν τοις υδασιν

33 οι δε βοσκοντες εφυγον και απελθοντες εις την πολιν απηγγειλαν παντα και τα των δαιμονιζομενων

34 και ιδου πασα η πολις εξηλθεν εις υπαντησιν τω ιησου και ιδοντες αυτον παρεκαλεσαν οπως μεταβη απο των οριων αυτων

Jesus Cleanses a Leper(A)

When He had come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed Him. (B)And behold, a leper came and (C)worshiped Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”

Then Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately his leprosy (D)was cleansed.

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)

(I)Now when Jesus had entered Capernaum, a (J)centurion came to Him, pleading with Him, saying, “Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, dreadfully tormented.”

And Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.”

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. 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.
