Jesus Cleanses a Leper

When he came down from the mountain, (A)great crowds followed him. (B)And behold, a leper[a] came to him and (C)knelt before him, saying, “Lord, if you will, you can make me clean.” And Jesus[b] stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I will; be clean.” And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. And Jesus said to him, (D)“See that you say nothing to anyone, but go, (E)show yourself to the priest and (F)offer the gift that Moses commanded, (G)for a proof to them.”

The Faith of a Centurion

(H)When he had entered Capernaum, a centurion came forward to him, appealing to him, “Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, suffering terribly.” And he said to him, “I will come and heal him.” But the centurion replied, “Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof, but (I)only say the word, and my servant will be healed. For I too am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. And I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes, and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes, and to my servant,[c] ‘Do this,’ and he does it.” 10 When Jesus heard this, (J)he marveled and said to those who followed him, “Truly, I tell you, with (K)no one in Israel[d] have I found such faith. 11 I tell you, (L)many will come from east and west and recline at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven, 12 (M)while the sons of the kingdom (N)will be thrown into the outer darkness. In that place (O)there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” 13 And to the centurion Jesus said, “Go; let it be done for you (P)as you have believed.” (Q)And the servant was healed at that very moment.

Jesus Heals Many

14 (R)And when Jesus entered Peter's house, he saw (S)his mother-in-law lying sick with a fever. 15 He (T)touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she rose and began to serve him. 16 That evening they brought to him many who were (U)oppressed by demons, and he cast out the spirits (V)with a word and healed all who were sick. 17 (W)This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah: (X)“He took our illnesses and bore our diseases.”

The Cost of Following Jesus

18 Now (Y)when Jesus saw a crowd around him, (Z)he gave orders to go over to the other side. 19 (AA)And a scribe came up 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 Another of the disciples said to him, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.” 22 And Jesus said to him, “Follow me, and leave (AB)the dead to bury their own dead.”

Jesus Calms a Storm

23 (AC)And when he got into the boat, his disciples followed him. 24 And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but (AD)he was asleep. 25 And they went and woke him, saying, (AE)“Save us, Lord; we are perishing.” 26 And he said to them, “Why are you (AF)afraid, (AG)O you of little faith?” Then he rose and (AH)rebuked the winds and the sea, and (AI)there was a great calm. 27 And the men (AJ)marveled, saying, “What sort of man is this, that even (AK)winds and sea obey him?”

Jesus Heals Two Men with Demons

28 (AL)And when he came to the other side, to the country of the Gadarenes,[e] two (AM)demon-possessed[f] men met him, coming out of the tombs, so fierce that no one could pass that way. 29 And behold, they (AN)cried out, “What have you to do with us, (AO)O Son of God? Have you come here to torment us (AP)before the time?” 30 Now a herd of many pigs was feeding at some distance from them. 31 And the demons begged him, saying, “If you cast us out, send us away into the herd of pigs.” 32 And he said to them, “Go.” So they came out and went into the pigs, and behold, the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned in the waters. 33 The herdsmen fled, and going into the city they told everything, especially what had happened to the (AQ)demon-possessed men. 34 And behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus, and when they saw him, (AR)they begged him to leave their region.

At nang siya'y bumaba mula sa bundok, ay sinundan siya ng lubhang maraming tao.

At narito, lumapit sa kaniya ang isang ketongin, at siya'y sinamba, na nagsasabi, Panginoon, kung ibig mo, ay maaaring malinis mo ako.

At iniunat niya ang kaniyang kamay, at siya'y hinipo, na nagsasabi, Ibig ko; luminis ka. At pagdaka'y nalinis ang kaniyang ketong.

At sinabi sa kaniya ni Jesus, Ingatan mong huwag sabihin kanino man; kundi humayo ka, pakita ka sa saserdote, at ihandog mo ang alay na ipinagutos ni Moises, na bilang patotoo sa kanila.

At pagpasok niya sa Capernaum, ay lumapit sa kaniya ang isang senturion, na sa kaniya'y namanhik,

At nagsasabi, Panginoon, ang aking alila ay nararatay sa bahay, lumpo, at lubhang nahihirapan.

At sinabi niya sa kaniya, Paroroon ako, at siya'y aking pagagalingin.

At sumagot ang senturion at sinabi, Panginoon, hindi ako karapat-dapat na ikaw ay pumasok sa ilalim ng aking bubungan; datapuwa't sabihin mo lamang ang salita, at gagaling ang aking alila.

Sapagka't ako rin naman ay taong nasa ilalim ng kapamahalaan, na may nasasakupan akong mga kawal: at sinasabi ko rito, Yumaon ka, at siya'y yumayaon; at sa isa, Halika, at siya'y lumalapit; at sa aking alipin, Gawin mo ito, at kaniyang ginagawa.

10 At nang marinig ito ni Jesus, ay nagtaka siya, at sinabi sa nagsisisunod, Katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo, na kahit sa Israel man, ay hindi ako nakasumpong ng ganito kalaking pananampalataya.

11 At sinabi ko sa inyo, na marami ang magsisipanggaling sa silanganan at sa kalunuran, at magsisiupong kasama ni Abraham, at ni Isaac, at ni Jacob, sa kaharian ng langit:

12 Datapuwa't ang mga anak ng kaharian ay pawang itatapon sa kadiliman sa labas: diyan na nga ang pagtangis at pagngangalit ng mga ngipin.

13 At sinabi ni Jesus sa senturion, Humayo ka ng iyong lakad; at ayon sa iyong pagsampalataya, ay gayon ang sa iyo'y mangyari. At gumaling ang kaniyang alila sa oras ding yaon.

14 At nang pumasok si Jesus sa bahay ni Pedro, ay nakita niya ang biyanang babae nito na nararatay dahil sa lagnat.

15 At hinipo ang kaniyang kamay, at inibsan siya ng lagnat; at siya'y nagbangon, at naglingkod sa kaniya.

16 At nang kinahapunan, ay dinala nila sa kaniya ang maraming inaalihan ng demonio: at pinalayas niya sa isang salita ang masasamang espiritu at pinagaling ang lahat ng mga may sakit:

17 Upang matupad ang sinabi sa pamamagitan ng propeta Isaias, na nagsasabi, Siya rin ang kumuha ng ating mga sakit, at nagdala ng ating mga karamdaman.

18 Nang makita nga ni Jesus ang lubhang maraming tao sa palibot niya, ay ipinagutos niyang tumawid sa kabilang ibayo.

19 At lumapit ang isang eskriba, at sa kaniya'y nagsabi, Guro, susunod ako sa iyo saan ka man pumaroon.

20 At sinabi sa kaniya ni Jesus, May mga lungga ang mga zorra, at may mga pugad ang mga ibon sa langit; datapuwa't ang Anak ng tao ay walang kahiligan ang kaniyang ulo.

21 At ang isa naman sa kaniyang mga alagad ay nagsabi sa kaniya, Panginoon, tulutan mo muna akong makauwi at mailibing ko ang aking ama.

22 Datapuwa't sinabi sa kaniya ni Jesus, Sumunod ka sa akin; at pabayaan mong ilibing ng mga patay ang kanilang sariling mga patay.

23 At pagkalulan niya sa isang daong, ay sinundan siya ng kaniyang mga alagad.

24 At narito, bumangon ang isang malakas na bagyo sa dagat, na ano pa't inaapawan ang daong ng mga alon: datapuwa't siya'y natutulog.

25 At nagsilapit sila sa kaniya, at siya'y ginising, na sinasabi, Panginoon, iligtas mo kami; kami'y mangamamatay.

26 At sinabi niya sa kanila, Bakit kayo'y nangatatakot, Oh kayong kakaunti ang pananampalataya? Nang magkagayo'y nagbangon siya, at sinaway ang mga hangin at ang dagat; at humusay na totoo ang panahon.

27 At ang mga tao ay nangagtaka, na sinasabi, Anong tao ito, na maging ang mga hangin at ang mga dagat ay nagsisitalima sa kaniya?

28 At nang siya'y makarating sa kabilang ibayo sa lupain ng mga Gadareno, ay sinalubong siya ng dalawang inaalihan ng mga demonio na nagsisilabas sa mga libingan, na totoong mababangis, na ano pa't sinoma'y walang makapagdaan sa daang yaon.

29 At narito, sila'y nagsisigaw, na nangagsasabi, Anong aming ipakikialam sa iyo, ikaw na Anak ng Dios? naparito ka baga upang kami'y iyong pahirapan bago dumating ang kapanahunan?

30 Sa malayo sa kanila ay may isang kawan ng maraming baboy na nagsisipanginain.

31 At namanhik sa kaniya ang mga demonio, na nangagsasabi, Kung kami'y palalayasin mo, ay paparoonin mo kami sa kawan ng mga baboy.

32 At sinabi niya sa kanila, Magsiparoon kayo. At sila'y nagsilabas, at nagsipasok sa mga baboy: at narito, ang buong kawan ng mga baboy ay nangapadaluhong sa bangin hanggang sa dagat, at nangamatay sa tubig.

33 At nagsitakas ang mga tagapagalaga ng mga yaon, at nagsitungo sa bayan, at sinabi ang lahat ng mga nangyari, at ang kinahinatnan ng mga inalihan ng mga demonio.

34 At narito, lumabas ang buong bayan upang sumalubong kay Jesus: at pagkakita nila sa kaniya, ay pinamanhikan siyang umalis sa kanilang mga hangganan.

When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.

And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him,

And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.

And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.

The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.

For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.

10 When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.

11 And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.

12 But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

13 And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour.

14 And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever.

15 And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them.

16 When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick:

17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.

18 Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandment to depart unto the other side.

19 And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.

20 And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.

21 And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.

22 But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.

23 And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him.

24 And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.

25 And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish.

26 And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.

27 But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!

28 And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.

29 And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?

30 And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding.

31 So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.

32 And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.

33 And they that kept them fled, and went their ways into the city, and told every thing, and what was befallen to the possessed of the devils.

34 And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart out of their coasts.

Christ cleanses the leper, heals the centurion’s servant, heals many other diseases, helps Peter’s mother-in-law, stills the sea and the wind, and drives the devils out of the possessed man into the swine.

When Jesus came down from the mountain, crowds of people followed him. And lo, a leper came and worshipped him, saying, Master, if you are willing, you can make me clean. And Jesus put forth his hand and touched him, saying, I will; be clean! And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. And Jesus said to him, See that you tell no one, but go and show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, in witness to them.

When Jesus had entered into Capernaum, there came to him a certain centurion, who besought him, saying, Master, my servant lies sick at home, paralyzed, and is grievously pained. And Jesus said to him, I will come and heal him. The centurion answered and said, Sir, I am not worthy that you should come under my roof. But speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed. For I also myself am a man subject to the authority of another, and have soldiers under me. And I say to 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 that, he marvelled, and said to the people who followed him, Truly I say to you, I have not found such great faith, no, not in Israel. 11 I say therefore to you that many will come from the east and west, and will rest with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven, 12 but the children of the kingdom shall 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 believe, so be it unto you. And his servant was healed that very same hour.

14 And then Jesus went to Peter’s house, and saw his wife’s mother lying sick of a fever, 15 and touched her hand, and the fever left her. And she arose and ministered to them.

16 When the evening was come, people brought to him many who were possessed with devils. And he cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick, 17 to fulfil that which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying, He took on him our infirmities, and bore our sicknesses.

18 When Jesus saw crowds of people around him, he directed to go over the water. 19 And a scribe came and said to him, Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go. 20 And Jesus said to him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of man has nowhere to rest his head. 21 Another, who was one of his disciples, said to him, Master, first allow me to go and bury my father. 22 But Jesus said to him, Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead.

23 And he entered into a boat, and his disciples followed him. 24 And behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the vessel was swamped with waves. And he was asleep. 25 And his disciples came to him and awoke him, saying, Master, save us! We perish! 26 And he said to them, Why are you fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there followed a great calm. 27 And the men marvelled and said, What man is this, that both winds and sea obey him?

28 When Jesus had come to the other side, into the country of the Gergesenes, two men possessed by devils met him, coming out from among the graves. They were out of measure fierce, so that no one could pass by that way. 29 And behold, they cried out, saying, O Jesus, Son of God, what have we to do with you? Have you come here to torment us before the time be come?

30 And a good way off from them there was a great herd of swine feeding. 31 Then the devils besought him, saying, If you cast us out, let us go our way into the herd of swine. 32 And he said to them, Go your ways. Then they went out and dispersed into the herd of swine. And behold, the whole herd of swine was carried with violence headlong into the sea, and perished in the water.

33 Then the herdsmen fled, and went their ways into the town and told everything, and what had happened to the men possessed by the devils. 34 And all the town came out and met Jesus. And when they saw him, they besought him to depart from their shores.
