A Man Cleansed
8 When he came down from the mountain, large crowds(A) followed him. 2 Straight away(B) a man with leprosy[a] came up and knelt before him,(C) saying, ‘Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.’
3 Reaching out his hand, Jesus touched him, saying, ‘I am willing; be made clean.’ Immediately his leprosy was cleansed. 4 Then Jesus told him, ‘See that you don’t tell anyone;(D) but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.’(E)
A Centurion’s Faith
5 When he entered Capernaum,(F) a centurion came to him, pleading with him, 6 ‘Lord, my servant is lying at home paralysed, in terrible agony.’
7 He said to him, ‘Am I to come and heal him? ’[b]
8 ‘Lord,’ the centurion replied, ‘I am not worthy to have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.(G) 9 For I too am a man under authority, having soldiers under my command.[c] 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 Hearing this, Jesus was amazed and said to those following him, ‘Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with so great a faith. 11 I tell you that many will come from the east and the west to share the banquet[d] with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.(H) 12 But the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’(I) 13 Then Jesus told the centurion, ‘Go. As you have believed,(J) let it be done for you.’ And his servant was healed at that very moment.[e]
Healings at Capernaum
14 Jesus went into Peter’s house(K) and saw his mother-in-law lying in bed with a fever. 15 So he touched her hand, and the fever left her. Then she got up and began to serve him. 16 When evening came, they brought to him many who were demon-possessed. He drove out the spirits(L) with a word and healed all who were ill,(M) 17 so that what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled:
The Cost of Following Jesus
18 When Jesus saw a large crowd[g](O) around him, he gave the order to go to the other side of the sea. 19 A scribe approached him and said,(P) ‘Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.’
20 Jesus told him, ‘Foxes have dens, and birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man(Q) has no place to lay his head.’
21 ‘Lord,’ another of his disciples said, ‘first let me go and bury my father.’
22 But Jesus told him, ‘Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead.’
Wind and Waves Obey Jesus
23 As he got into the boat,(R) his disciples(S) followed him. 24 Suddenly, a violent storm arose on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves – but Jesus kept sleeping. 25 So the disciples came and woke him up, saying, ‘Lord, save us! We’re going to die! ’
26 He said to them, ‘Why are you afraid, you of little faith? ’ Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the sea,(T) and there was a great calm.
27 The men were amazed and asked, ‘What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the sea obey(U) him! ’
Demons Driven Out by Jesus
28 When he had come to the other side,(V) to the region of the Gadarenes,[h] two demon-possessed men met him as they came out of the tombs. They were so violent that no one could pass that way. 29 Suddenly they shouted, ‘What do you have to do with us,[i] Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time? ’(W)
30 A long way off from them, a large herd of pigs was feeding. 31 ‘If you drive us out,’ the demons begged him, ‘send us into the herd of pigs.’
32 ‘Go! ’ he told them. So when they had come out, they entered the pigs, and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea and perished in the water. 33 Then the men who tended them fled. They went into the city and reported everything, especially what had happened to those who were demon-possessed. 34 At that, the whole town went out to meet Jesus. When they saw him, they begged him to leave their region.(X)

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)

Jesus Heals a Sick Man
8 When Jesus came down from the hill, great crowds followed him. 2 Then a man sick with a harmful skin disease came to Jesus. The man bowed down before him and said, “Lord, you have the power to heal me if you want.”
3 Jesus touched the man and said, “I want to heal you. Be healed!” And immediately the man was healed from his skin disease. 4 Then Jesus said to him, “Don’t tell anyone about what happened. But go and show yourself to the priest.[a] And offer the gift that Moses commanded[b] for people who are made well. This will show people that you are healed.”
Jesus Heals a Soldier’s Servant
5 Jesus went to the city of Capernaum. When he entered the city, an army officer came to Jesus and begged for help. 6 The officer said, “Lord, my servant is at home in bed. He can’t move his body and is in much pain.”
7 Jesus said to the officer, “I will go and heal him.”
8 The officer answered, “Lord, I am not good enough for you to come into my house. All you need to do is command that my servant be healed, and he will be healed. 9 I myself am a man under the authority of other men. And I have soldiers under my command. I tell one soldier, ‘Go,’ and he goes. I tell another soldier, ‘Come,’ and he comes. I say to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and my servant obeys me.
10 When Jesus heard this, he was amazed. He said to those who were with him, “I tell you the truth. This man has more faith than any other person I have found, even in Israel. 11 Many people will come from the east and from the west. They will sit and eat with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. 12 And those people who should have the kingdom will be thrown outside into the darkness. In that place people will cry and grind their teeth with pain.”
13 Then Jesus said to the officer, “Go home. Your servant will be healed just as you believed he would.” And at that same time his servant was healed.
Jesus Heals Many People
14 Jesus went to Peter’s house. There Jesus saw that Peter’s mother-in-law was in bed with a high fever. 15 Jesus touched her hand, and the fever left her. Then she stood up and began to serve Jesus.
16 That evening people brought to Jesus many who had demons. Jesus spoke and the demons left them. Jesus healed all the sick. 17 He did these things to make come true what Isaiah the prophet said:
“He took our suffering on him.
And he felt our pain for us.” Isaiah 53:4
People Want to Follow Jesus
18 When Jesus saw the crowd around him, he told his followers to go to the other side of the lake. 19 Then a teacher of the law came to Jesus and said, “Teacher, I will follow you any place you go.”
20 Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes to live in. The birds have nests to live in. But the Son of Man has no place where he can rest his head.”
21 Another man, one of Jesus’ followers, said to Jesus, “Lord, let me go and bury my father first.”
22 But Jesus said to him, “Follow me, and let the people who are dead bury their own dead.”
Jesus Stops a Storm
23 Jesus got into a boat, and his followers went with him. 24 A very bad storm arose on the lake. The waves covered the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. 25 The followers went to Jesus and woke him. They said, “Lord, save us! We will drown!”
26 Jesus answered, “Why are you afraid? You don’t have enough faith.” Then Jesus got up and gave a command to the wind and the sea. The wind stopped, and the sea became very calm.
27 The men were amazed. They said, “What kind of man is this? Even the wind and the sea obey him!”
Jesus Heals Two Men with Demons
28 Jesus arrived at the other side of the lake in the country of the Gadarene[c] people. There, two men came to Jesus. They had demons in them. These men lived in the burial caves. They were so dangerous that people could not use the road by those caves. 29 The two men came to Jesus and shouted, “What do you want with us, Son of God? Did you come here to punish us before the right time?”
30 Near that place there was a large herd of pigs feeding. 31 The demons begged Jesus, “If you make us leave these men, please send us into that herd of pigs.”
32 Jesus said to them, “Go!” So the demons left the men and went into the pigs. Then the whole herd of pigs ran down the hill into the lake and were drowned. 33 The men who were caring for the pigs ran away and went into town. They told about all of this and what had happened to the men who had demons. 34 Then the whole town went out to see Jesus. When they saw him, they begged him to leave their area.

Jesus Cleanses a Leper(A)
8 When He had come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed Him. 2 (B)And behold, a leper came and (C)worshiped Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”
3 Then Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately his leprosy (D)was cleansed.

Jesus Heals a Centurion’s Servant(H)
5 (I)Now when Jesus had entered Capernaum, a (J)centurion came to Him, pleading with Him, 6 saying, “Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, dreadfully tormented.”
7 And Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.”
8 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. 9 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.

Mateus 8
Portuguese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
Jesus cura um homem com lepra
(Mc 1.40-45; Lc 5.12-16)
8 Quando Jesus desceu do monte, uma grande multidão o seguiu. 2 Um homem com lepra se aproximou de Jesus e se ajoelhou diante dele. Então lhe disse:
—Eu sei que o senhor pode me curar se quiser.
3 Jesus estendeu a sua mão, tocou nele e lhe disse:
—Eu quero; fique curado!
E, no mesmo instante, a lepra desapareceu. 4 Então Jesus lhe disse:
—Olhe, não diga nada disto a ninguém, mas apresente-se ao sacerdote.[a] Depois ofereça o sacrifício que a lei de Moisés manda que seja oferecido pela sua cura. Faça isso para provar que está curado.
Jesus cura o servo de um oficial romano
(Lc 7.1-10; Jo 4.43-54)
5 Quando Jesus entrou em Cafarnaum, um oficial romano se aproximou dele e lhe implorou:
6 —Senhor, o meu servo está em casa, de cama, sem poder se mexer e sofrendo dores horríveis.
7 Jesus lhe disse:
—Eu vou lá curá-lo.
8 O oficial romano, então, lhe disse:
—Eu não sou digno de que o senhor entre na minha casa. Dê apenas uma ordem e o meu servo ficará curado. 9 Digo isto, pois também tenho superiores que me dão ordens e soldados a quem eu dou ordens. Eu digo a um: “Vá”, e ele vai; e a outro: “Venha”, e ele vem. Da mesma forma digo ao meu servo: “Faça isto”, e ele faz.
10 Quando Jesus ouviu isto, ficou admirado e disse aos que o acompanhavam:
—Digo a vocês que nem mesmo entre o povo de Israel achei alguém com tanta fé! 11 E eu lhes digo ainda mais: Muitas pessoas virão do leste e do oeste, e tomarão seus lugares à mesa no reino de Deus juntamente com Abraão, com Isaque e com Jacó. 12 E aquelas pessoas a quem esses lugares pertenciam anteriormente serão lançadas fora para a escuridão, onde irão chorar e ranger os dentes.
13 Depois Jesus disse ao oficial:
—Vá para casa. Seja feito conforme a sua fé.
E nesse mesmo momento o seu servo foi curado.
Jesus cura a sogra de Pedro
(Mc 1.29-31; Lc 4.38-39)
14 Jesus seguiu depois para a casa de Pedro e lá encontrou a sogra deste de cama e com muita febre. 15 Jesus tocou na mão dela e a febre a deixou. Ela, então, se levantou e começou a servi-lo.
Jesus cura muitas pessoas
(Mc 1.32-34; Lc 4.40-41)
16 Naquela tarde, muitas pessoas que estavam possuídas por demônios foram levadas a Jesus que, com sua ordem, os expulsou. Jesus também curou todos os doentes. 17 Essas coisas aconteceram para que as palavras que Deus tinha dito por meio do profeta Isaías se cumprissem:
“Ele levou as nossas doenças
e carregou as nossas enfermidades”.(A)
Como seguir a Jesus
(Lc 9.57-62)
18 Quando Jesus viu a multidão à sua volta, mandou seus discípulos irem para o outro lado do lago. 19 Um mestre da lei se aproximou dele e lhe disse:
—Mestre, eu o seguirei aonde quer que o senhor vá.
20 Mas Jesus lhe respondeu:
—As raposas têm tocas e as aves do céu têm ninhos, mas o Filho do Homem não tem onde descansar.
21 Um outro discípulo de Jesus lhe disse:
—Senhor, deixe-me primeiro ir enterrar meu pai.
22 Mas Jesus lhe disse:
—Siga-me e deixe que os mortos enterrem os seus próprios mortos.
Jesus acalma a tempestade
(Mc 4.35-41; Lc 8.22-25)
23 Jesus entrou num barco e os seus discípulos o acompanharam. 24 De repente, uma grande tempestade agitou o lago e as suas ondas eram tão grandes que cobriam o barco. Entretanto, Jesus dormia. 25 Mas os discípulos foram acordá-lo e lhe disseram:
—Salve-nos, Senhor, pois estamos prestes a morrer!
26 Jesus, porém, lhes disse:
—Por que vocês estão com tanto medo, homens de pouca fé?
E, levantando-se, repreendeu o vento e o lago e tudo ficou calmo.
27 Os discípulos ficaram muito espantados e diziam entre si:
—Que tipo de homem é este que até o vento e as águas lhe obedecem?
Jesus cura dois homens possuídos por demônios
(Mc 5.1-20; Lc 8.26-39)
28 Quando Jesus chegou ao país dos gadarenos[b], do outro lado do lago, dois homens que estavam possuídos por demônios foram ao seu encontro. Eles tinham saído dos túmulos e estavam tão furiosos que ninguém podia passar por aquele caminho. 29 Os dois homens se aproximaram de Jesus e gritaram:
—O que o senhor quer conosco, Filho de Deus? Veio para nos castigar antes do tempo?
30 Não muito longe dali havia uma grande manada de porcos comendo. 31 Os demônios pediram a Jesus:
—Se vai nos obrigar a sair destes homens, então permita-nos entrar naqueles porcos.
32 Jesus lhes disse:
—Podem ir!
E os demônios, saindo dos homens, entraram nos porcos. Então, todos os porcos se atiraram morro abaixo, para dentro do lago, onde se afogaram.
33 Os homens que tomavam conta dos porcos fugiram dali e foram para a vila. Ali contaram tudo isso, incluindo o que tinha acontecido com os homens que estavam possuídos pelos demônios. 34 Então, toda a vila foi ao encontro de Jesus e, quando o viram, lhe imploraram que fosse embora da terra deles.
