¹¹ I say to you that many ^(A)will come from east and west, and ^[a]recline at the table with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven; ¹² but ^(B)the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into ^(C)the outer darkness; in that place ^(D)there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” ¹³ And Jesus said to the centurion, “Go; ^[b]it shall be done for you ^(E)as you have believed.” And the ^[c]servant was healed that very ^[d]moment.

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

^14 (F)When Jesus came into Peter’s ^[e]home, He saw his mother-in-law lying sick in bed with a fever. ¹⁵ He touched her hand, and the fever left her; and she got up and ^[f]waited on Him. ¹⁶ When evening came, they brought to Him many ^(G)who were demon-possessed; and He cast out the spirits with a word, and ^(H)healed all who were ill. ¹⁷ This was to fulfill what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet: “^(I)He Himself took our infirmities and ^[g]carried away our diseases.”

Discipleship Tested

¹⁸ Now when Jesus saw a crowd around Him, ^(J)He gave orders to depart to the other side of the sea. ^19 (K)Then a scribe came and said to Him, “Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go.” ²⁰ Jesus *said to him, “The foxes have holes and the birds of the ^[h]air have ^[i]nests, but ^(L)the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.” ²¹ Another of the disciples said to Him, “Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father.” ²² But Jesus *said to him, “^(M)Follow Me, and allow the dead to bury their own dead.”

^23 (N)When He got into the boat, His disciples followed Him. ²⁴ And behold, there arose ^[j]a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being covered with the waves; but Jesus Himself was asleep. ²⁵ And they came to Him and woke Him, saying, “^(O)Save us, Lord; we are perishing!” ²⁶ He *said to them, “Why are you ^[k]afraid, ^(P)you men of little faith?” Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and ^[l]it became perfectly calm. ²⁷ The men were amazed, and said, “What kind of a man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?”

Jesus Casts Out Demons

^28 (Q)When He came to the other side into the country of the Gadarenes, two men who were ^(R)demon-possessed met 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, “^[m](S)What business do we have with each other, Son of God? Have You come here to torment us before ^[n]the time?” ³⁰ Now there was a herd of many swine feeding at a distance from them. ³¹ The demons began to entreat Him, saying, “If You are going to cast us out, send us into the herd of swine.” ³² And He said to them, “Go!” And they came out and went into the swine, and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea and perished in the waters. ³³ The herdsmen ran away, and went to the city and reported everything, ^[o]including what had happened to the ^(T)demoniacs. ³⁴ And behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus; and when they saw Him, ^(U)they implored Him to leave their region.

⁴⁶ Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly and said, “It was necessary that the word of God be spoken to you ^(A)first; since you repudiate it and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, ^(B)we are turning to the Gentiles.

⁶ But when they resisted and blasphemed, he ^(A)shook out his garments and said to them, “Your ^(B)blood be on your own heads! I am clean. From now on I will go ^(C)to the Gentiles.”

²⁸ Therefore let it be known to you that ^(A)this salvation of God has been sent ^(B)to the Gentiles; they will also listen.”
