Matthew 8
King James Version

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

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

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

4 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.

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

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

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

8 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.

9 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.

New American Standard Bible

Jesus Cleanses a Man with Leprosy

8 When [a]Jesus came down from the mountain, [b]large crowds followed Him. 2 And (A)a man with [c]leprosy came to Him and [d](B)bowed down before Him, and said, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.” 3 [e]Jesus reached out with His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” And immediately his (C)leprosy was cleansed. 4 And Jesus *said to him, “(D)See that you tell no one; but (E)go, (F)show yourself to the priest and present the [f]offering that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”

The Centurion’s Faith

5 And (G)when [g]Jesus entered Capernaum, a [h]centurion came to Him, begging Him, 6 and saying, “[i]Lord, my [j]servant is lying (H)paralyzed at home, terribly tormented.” 7 Jesus *said to him, “I will come and heal him.” 8 But the centurion replied, “[k]Lord, I am not worthy for You to come under my roof, but just [l]say the word, and my [m]servant will be healed. 9 For I also am a man under (I)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 [n]with anyone in Israel. 11 And I say to you that many (J)will come from east and west, and [o]recline at the table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven; 12 but (K)the sons of the kingdom will be thrown out into (L)the outer darkness; in that place (M)there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” 13 And Jesus said to the centurion, “Go; [p]it shall be done for you (N)as you have believed.” And the [q]servant was healed at that very [r]moment.

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

14 (O)When Jesus came into Peter’s [s]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 [t]waited on Him. 16 Now when evening came, they brought to Him many (P)who were demon-possessed; and He cast out the spirits with a word, and (Q)healed all who were ill. 17 This happened so that what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet would be fulfilled: “(R)He Himself took our illnesses and [u]carried away our diseases.”

Discipleship Tested

18 Now when Jesus saw a crowd around Him, (S)He gave orders to depart to the other side of the sea. 19 (T)Then 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 sky have nests, but (U)the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.” 21 And another of the disciples said to Him, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.” 22 But Jesus *said to him, “(V)Follow Me, and let the dead bury their own dead.”

Jesus Calms the Storm

23 (W)When He got into the boat, His disciples followed Him. 24 And behold, a [v]violent storm developed on the sea, so that the boat was being covered by the waves; but Jesus Himself was asleep. 25 And they came to Him and woke Him, saying, “(X)Save us, Lord; we are perishing!” 26 He *said to them, “Why are you [w]afraid, (Y)you men of little faith?” Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and [x]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 Sends Demons into Pigs

28 (Z)And when He came to the other side into the country of the Gadarenes, two (AA)demon-possessed men confronted 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, “[y](AB)What business do You have with us, Son of God? Have You come here to torment us before [z]the time?” 30 Now there was a herd of many pigs feeding at a distance from them. 31 And the demons begged Him, saying, “If You are going to cast us out, send us into the herd of pigs.” 32 And He said to them, “Go!” And they came out and went into the pigs; and behold, the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea and [aa]drowned in the waters. 33 And the herdsmen ran away, and went to the city and reported everything, [ab]including what had happened to the (AC)demon-possessed men. 34 And behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus; and when they saw Him, (AD)they pleaded with Him to leave their region.

Guarigione di un lebbroso

8 (A)Quando egli scese dal monte, una gran folla lo seguì. 2 Ed ecco un lebbroso, avvicinatosi[a], gli si prostrò davanti, dicendo: «Signore, se vuoi, tu puoi purificarmi». 3 Gesù[b], tesa la mano, lo toccò dicendo: «Lo voglio, sii purificato». E in quell’istante egli fu purificato dalla lebbra. 4 Gesù gli disse: «Guarda di non dirlo a nessuno, ma va’, mostrati al sacerdote e fa’ l’offerta che Mosè ha prescritto, e ciò serva loro di testimonianza».

Guarigione del servo di un centurione

5 (B)Quando Gesù fu entrato[c] in Capernaum, un centurione[d] venne da lui, pregandolo e dicendo: 6 «Signore, il mio servo giace in casa paralitico e soffre moltissimo». 7 Gesù[e] gli disse: «Io verrò e lo guarirò». 8 Ma il centurione rispose: «Signore, io non sono degno che tu entri sotto il mio tetto, ma di’ soltanto una parola e il mio servo sarà guarito. 9 Perché anch’io sono un uomo sottoposto ad altri e ho sotto di me dei soldati; e dico a uno: “Va’”, ed egli va; e a un altro: “Vieni”, ed egli viene; e al mio servo: “Fa’ questo”, ed egli lo fa». 10 Gesù, udito questo, ne restò meravigliato, e disse a quelli che lo seguivano: «Io vi dico in verità che in nessuno, in Israele[f], ho trovato una fede così grande! 11 E io vi dico che molti verranno da Oriente e da Occidente e si metteranno a tavola con Abraamo, Isacco e Giacobbe nel regno dei cieli, 12 ma i figli del regno saranno gettati nelle tenebre di fuori. Là ci sarà pianto e stridor di denti». 13 Gesù disse al centurione: «Va’ [e] ti sia fatto come hai creduto». E il {suo} servitore fu guarito in quella stessa ora.

Guarigione della suocera di Pietro

14 (C)Poi Gesù, entrato nella casa di Pietro, vide che la suocera di lui era a letto con la febbre; 15 ed egli le toccò la mano e la febbre la lasciò. Ella si alzò e si mise a servirlo[g].

16 Poi, venuta la sera, gli presentarono molti indemoniati; ed egli scacciò gli spiriti con la parola e guarì tutti i malati, 17 affinché si adempisse quel che fu detto per bocca del profeta Isaia: «Egli ha preso le nostre infermità e ha portato le nostre malattie»[h].

Come seguire Gesù

18 (D)Gesù, vedendo una [gran] folla intorno a sé, comandò che si passasse all’altra riva. 19 Allora uno scriba, avvicinatosi, gli disse: «Maestro, io ti seguirò dovunque tu andrai». 20 Gesù gli disse: «Le volpi hanno delle tane e gli uccelli del cielo hanno dei nidi, ma il Figlio dell’uomo non ha dove posare il capo». 21 Un altro dei {suoi} discepoli gli disse: «Signore, permettimi di andare prima a seppellire mio padre». 22 Ma Gesù gli disse: «Seguimi, e lascia che i morti seppelliscano i loro morti».

Gesù calma la tempesta

23 (E)Gesù salì sulla barca e i suoi discepoli lo seguirono. 24 Ed ecco si sollevò in mare una gran burrasca, tanto che la barca era coperta dalle onde; ma egli dormiva. 25 E [i suoi discepoli], avvicinatisi, lo svegliarono dicendo: «Signore, salvaci, siamo perduti!» 26 Ed egli disse loro: «Perché avete paura, o gente di poca fede?» Allora, alzatosi, sgridò i venti e il mare, e si fece gran bonaccia. 27 E quegli uomini si meravigliarono e dicevano: «Che uomo è mai questo, che anche i venti e il mare gli ubbidiscono?»

Guarigione di due indemoniati

28 (F)Quando fu giunto all’altra riva, nel paese dei Gadareni[i], gli vennero incontro due indemoniati, usciti dai sepolcri, così furiosi che nessuno poteva passare per quella via. 29 Ed ecco si misero a gridare: «Che c’è fra noi e te, [Gesù], Figlio di Dio? Sei venuto qua prima del tempo a tormentarci?» 30 Lontano da loro c’era un grande branco di porci al pascolo. 31 E i demòni lo pregavano dicendo: «Se tu ci scacci, mandaci[j] in quel branco di porci». 32 Egli disse loro: «Andate». Ed essi, usciti, se ne andarono nei porci[k]; e tutto il branco [di porci] si gettò a precipizio giù nel mare e morirono nell’acqua. 33 Quelli che li custodivano fuggirono e, andati nella città, raccontarono ogni cosa e il fatto degli indemoniati. 34 Tutta la città uscì incontro a Gesù e, come lo videro, lo pregarono che si allontanasse dal loro territorio.

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:

“He took up our infirmities
    and bore our diseases.”[b](S)

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)
