Matthew 8
Holman Christian Standard Bible
A Man Cleansed
8 When He came down from the mountain, large crowds(A) followed Him. 2 Right away(B) a man with a serious skin disease came up and knelt before Him,(C) saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”
3 Reaching out His hand He touched him, saying, “I am willing; be made clean.” Immediately his disease was healed.[a] 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 prescribed, 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 paralyzed, in terrible agony!”
7 “I will come and heal him,” He told him.
8 “Lord,” the centurion replied, “I am not worthy to have You come under my roof. But only say the word, and my servant will be cured.(G) 9 For I too am a man under authority, having soldiers under my command.[b] 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 Hearing this, Jesus was amazed and said to those following Him, “I assure you: I have not found anyone in Israel with so great a faith! 11 I tell you that many will come from east and west, and recline at the table 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. In that place 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 cured that very moment.[c]
Healings at Capernaum
14 When Jesus went into Peter’s house,(K) He 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 sick,(M) 17 so that what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled:
Following Jesus
18 When Jesus saw large crowds[e](O) around Him, He gave the order to go to the other side of the sea.[f] 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 bury my father.”[g]
22 But Jesus told him, “Follow Me, and let the dead bury their own dead.”
Wind and Wave Obey the Master
23 As He got into the[h] 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 He was sleeping. 25 So the disciples came and woke Him up, saying, “Lord, save us! We’re going to die!”
26 But He said to them, “Why are you fearful, 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 the Master
28 When He had come to the other side,(V) to the region of the Gadarenes,[i] 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,[j][k] Son of God? Have You come here to torment us before the time?”(W)
30 Now 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 suddenly 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)

Endagaano Enkadde nʼEndagaano Empya
Yesu Awonya Omugenge
8 Awo Yesu bwe yava ku lusozi ekibiina kinene ne kimugoberera. 2 (A)Omusajja omugenge n’ajja gy’ali n’amuvuunamira ng’agamba nti, “Mukama wange, bw’obanga oyagala oyinza okunnongoosa.”
3 Yesu n’agolola omukono gwe n’amukwatako n’amugamba nti, “Njagala, longooka.” Amangwago omusajja n’awona ebigenge. 4 (B)Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Laba, tobaako muntu n’omu gw’obuulira, wabula genda weerage eri kabona otwaleyo n’ekirabo nga Musa bwe yalagira, kibeere obujulirwa gye bali.”
Okukkiriza kw’Omuserikale Omuruumi
5 Awo Yesu bwe yayingira mu Kaperunawumu, omuserikale Omuruumi, omukulu w’ekitongole ky’abaserikale ekikumi, n’ajja n’amwegayirira, 6 ng’agamba nti, “Mukama omulenzi wange mulwadde nnyo, amaze ebbanga ddene ng’akoozimbye ali ku kitanda era abonaabona nnyo.”
7 Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Nnajja ne mmuwonya.”
8 (C)Omukulu w’ekitongole n’agamba Yesu nti, “Mukama, sisaanira kukuyingiza mu nnyumba yange, yogera bwogezi ekigambo, omulenzi wange anaawona! 9 Kubanga nange waliwo abakulu abantwala, ate nga nange nnina be nfuga. Bwe ndagira omu nti, ‘Genda,’ agenda, n’omulala nti, ‘Jjangu,’ era ajja, n’omuddu wange nti, ‘Kola kino,’ akikola.”
10 (D)Yesu bwe yawulira ekyo ne yeewunya nnyo, n’agamba abaali bamugoberera nti, “Ddala ddala mbagamba nti, Sinnalabayo muntu alina kukkiriza nga kuno wadde mu lsirayiri! 11 (E)Mbagamba nti bangi baliva ebuvanjuba n’ebugwanjuba ne batuula wamu ne Ibulayimu ne Isaaka ne Yakobo mu bwakabaka obw’omu ggulu. 12 (F)Naye abaana b’obwakabaka, baligoberwa ebweru mu kizikiza ekikutte, eriba okukuba ebiwoobe n’okuluma obujiji.”
13 (G)Awo Yesu n’agamba omukulu w’ekitongole Omuruumi nti, “Ggenda. Nga bw’okkirizza kikukolerwe.” Omulenzi we n’awonerawo mu kiseera ekyo.
Yesu Awonya Nnyina wa muka Peetero
14 Awo Yesu bwe yayingira mu maka ga Peetero yasanga nnyina wa muka Peetero alwadde omusujja mungi, ng’agalamidde ku kitanda. 15 Yesu n’amukwata ku mukono omusujja ne gumuwonako, n’agolokoka n’amuweereza.
16 (H)Obudde bwe bwawungeera, ne bamuleetera abalwadde bangi abaaliko baddayimooni. N’ayogera bwogezi kigambo baddayimooni n’abagoba, era n’awonya n’abalala bonna abaali balwadde. 17 (I)Bwe kityo ekigambo ekyayogerebwa mu nnabbi Isaaya ne kituukirira bwe yagamba nti:
“Yatuwonya endwadde zaffe,
era n’atwala obunafu bwaffe.”
Okugoberera Yesu
18 (J)Awo Yesu bwe yalaba ng’ekibiina ekimwetoolodde kinene n’alagira bawunguke balage ku ludda olulala. 19 Omu ku bawandiisi b’amateeka n’amusemberera n’amugamba nti, “Omuyigiriza, nnaakugobereranga wonna w’onoogendanga!”
20 (K)Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Ebibe birina obunnya mwe bisula, n’ennyonyi ez’omu bbanga zirina ebisu, naye Omwana w’Omuntu talina kifo kya kuwumulizaamu mutwe gwe.”
21 Omuyigirizwa we omu n’amugamba nti, “Mukama wange, nzikiriza mmale okugenda okuziika kitange.” 22 (L)Naye Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Ngoberera! Leka abo abafu baziike abafu baabwe.”
23 Yesu n’ayingira mu lyato n’abayigirizwa be. 24 Awo omuyaga mungi ogw’amaanyi ne gujja ku nnyanja, amayengo amagulumivu ne gaba kumpi okubuutikira eryato. Naye yali yeebase. 25 Abayigirizwa be ne bajja gy’ali ne bamuzuukusa nga bagamba nti, “Mukama waffe, tulokole, tusaanawo!”
26 (M)Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Mmwe abalina okukkiriza okutono! Lwaki mutya bwe mutyo?” N’agolokoka n’aboggolera omuyaga. Omuyaga ne guggwaawo, ennyanja n’eteeka. 27 Naye abayigirizwa ne bawuniikirira nnyo! Ne beebuuza nti, “Muntu ki ono, omuyaga n’ennyanja gwe bigondera?” 28 (N)Awo bwe yatuuka emitala w’eri mu nsi y’Abagadaleni, abasajja babiri abaaliko baddayimooni ne bava mu malaalo ne bajja gy’ali. Baali bakambwe nnyo, nga tewali na muntu ayinza kuyita mu kkubo eryo. 29 (O)Ne bawowoggana nnyo nti, “Otwagaza ki, ggwe Omwana wa Katonda! Ojjidde ki okutubonyaabonya ng’ekiseera kyaffe tekinnaba kutuuka?”
30 Walako ne we baali waaliwo eggana ly’embizzi[a] nga zirya, 31 baddayimooni ne basaba Yesu nti, “Obanga ogenda kutogoba ku bantu bano, tusindike mu ggana ly’embizzi.”
32 Yesu n’agamba baddayimooni nti, “Kale, mugende.” Ne bava ku bantu, ne bayingira mu mbizzi, eggana lyonna ne lifubutuka ne liva ku bbangabanga ne lyeyiwa mu nnyanja embizzi zonna ne zisaanawo. 33 Naye abaali balunda embizzi ne badduka ne bagenda mu kibuga ne babuulira abantu byonna ebibaddewo, n’eby’abasajja abaaliko baddayimooni. 34 (P)Abantu b’omu kibuga bonna ne bafuluma okujja okusisinkana Yesu. Bwe baamulaba ne bamwegayirira abaviire mu kitundu kyabwe.

Matthew 8
New International Version
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)
