Matthew 8:5-17

New American Standard Bible

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 (I)When Jesus came into Peter’s ^[m]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 ^[n]waited on Him. ¹⁶ Now when evening came, they brought to Him many ^(J)who were demon-possessed; and He cast out the spirits with a word, and ^(K)healed all who were ill. ¹⁷ This happened so that what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet would be fulfilled: “^(L)He Himself took our illnesses and ^[o]carried away our diseases.”
