Matthew 8
Amplified Bible

Jesus Cleanses a Leper; The Centurion’s Faith

8 When Jesus came down from the mountain, large crowds [a]followed Him. 2 And a leper came up to Him and bowed down before Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You are able to make me clean (well).”(A) 3 Jesus reached out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately his leprosy was cleansed. 4 And Jesus said to him, “See that you tell no one [about this]; but go, show yourself to the priest [for inspection] and present the offering that Moses commanded, as a testimony (evidence) to them [of your healing].”(B)

5 As Jesus went into Capernaum, a [b]centurion came up to Him, begging Him [for help],(C) 6 and saying, “Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, with intense and terrible, tormenting pain.” 7 Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.” 8 But the centurion replied to Him, “Lord, I am not worthy to have You come under my roof, but only say the word, and my servant will be healed. 9 For I also am a man subject to authority [of a higher rank], with soldiers subject to me; and I say to one, ‘Go!’ and he goes, and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes, and to my slave, ‘Do this!’ and he does it.” 10 When Jesus heard this, He was amazed and said to those who were following Him, “I tell you truthfully, I have not found such great faith [as this] with anyone in Israel. 11 I say to you that many [Gentiles] will come from east and west, and will sit down [to feast at the table, and enjoy God’s promises] with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven [because they accepted Me as Savior], 12 while the sons and heirs of the kingdom [the descendants of Abraham who will not recognize Me as Messiah] will be thrown out into the outer darkness; in that place [which is farthest removed from the kingdom] there will be weeping [in sorrow and pain] and grinding of teeth [in distress and anger].”(D) 13 Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go; it will be done for you as you have believed.” And the servant was restored to health at that very hour.

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

14 When Jesus went into Peter’s house [in Capernaum], He saw Peter’s mother-in-law lying sick in bed with a fever.(E) 15 He touched her hand and the fever left her; and she got up and served Him. 16 When evening came, they brought to Him many who were under the power of demons; and He cast out the evil spirits with a word, and restored to health all who were sick [exhibiting His authority as Messiah], 17 so that He fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah: “He Himself took our infirmities [upon Himself] and carried away our diseases.”(F)

Discipleship Tested

18 Now when Jesus saw a crowd around Him, He gave orders to cast off for the other side of the Sea of Galilee. 19 Then [on His way to board the boat] a scribe [who was a respected and authoritative interpreter of the Law] came and said to Him, “Master, I will accompany You [as Your student] wherever You go.”(G) 20 Jesus replied to him, “Foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the [c]Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.”(H) 21 Another of the [d]disciples said to Him, “Lord, let me first go and [e]bury my father (collect my inheritance).”(I) 22 But Jesus said to him, “Follow Me [believing in Me as Master and Teacher], and allow the [spiritually] dead to bury their own dead.”

23 When He got into the boat, His disciples followed Him.(J) 24 And suddenly a violent storm arose on the sea, so that the boat was being covered by the waves; but Jesus was sleeping. 25 And the disciples went and woke Him, saying, “Lord, save us, we are going to die!” 26 He said to them, “Why are you afraid, you men of little faith?” Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was [at once] a great and wonderful calm [a perfect peacefulness]. 27 The men wondered in amazement, saying, “What kind of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?”

Jesus Casts Out Demons

28 When He arrived at the other side in the country of the Gadarenes, two demon-possessed men coming out of the tombs met Him. They were so extremely fierce and violent that no one could pass by that way.(K) 29 And they screamed out, “[f]What business do we have [in common] with each other, Son of God? Have You come to torment us before the appointed time [of judgment]?”(L) 30 Some distance from them a large herd of pigs was grazing. 31 The demons began begging Him, “If You drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs.” 32 And He said to them, “Go!” So they came out [of the men] and went into the pigs, and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea and died in the water. 33 The herdsmen ran away, and went to the city and reported everything, including what had happened to the men under the power of demons. 34 And the whole city came out to meet Jesus; and as soon as they saw Him, they begged Him to leave their region.

Footnotes

  1. Matthew 8:1 See note 4:19.
  2. Matthew 8:5 A Roman military officer commanding a hundred men.
  3. Matthew 8:20 Jesus uses this title to identify Himself as Messiah. It appears over eighty times in the Gospels.
  4. Matthew 8:21 Disciple does not always refer to a true believer, but may also be used to refer to someone who is merely a student or learner.
  5. Matthew 8:21 Possibly an idiom meaning something like, “after my father dies and after I observe the traditional mourning period and after I receive my inheritance, then I will do such and such.” This was probably nothing more than a petty excuse to avoid making a commitment to Jesus and had nothing to do with the condition of the man’s father (who was probably fine).
  6. Matthew 8:29 Lit What to us and to you, originally a Hebrew idiom which does not translate well into English. The idiom is meant to bluntly inform the other person that the speaker is not aware of any obligation between them, and does not wish to deal with the other person (cf 2 Sam 16:10). It can also express the speaker’s protest that he has not harmed the other individual, and therefore should not suffer harm at the hands of that person (cf 1 Kin 17:18).

La Biblia de las Américas

Curación de un leproso

8 Y cuando bajó del monte, grandes multitudes le seguían. 2 (A)Y he aquí, se le acercó un leproso y se postró ante Él[a](B), diciendo: Señor, si quieres, puedes limpiarme. 3 Y extendiendo Jesús la mano, lo tocó, diciendo: Quiero; sé limpio. Y al instante quedó limpio de su lepra[b](C). 4 Entonces Jesús le dijo*: Mira, no se lo digas a nadie(D), sino ve(E), muéstrate al sacerdote(F) y presenta la ofrenda que ordenó Moisés, para que les sirva de testimonio a ellos.

Jesús sana al criado del centurión

5 (G)Y cuando entró Jesús[c] en Capernaúm se le acercó un centurión suplicándole, 6 y diciendo: Señor, mi criado[d] está postrado en casa, paralítico(H), sufriendo mucho[e]. 7 Y Jesús le dijo*: Yo iré y lo sanaré. 8 Pero el centurión respondió y dijo: Señor, no soy digno de que entres bajo mi techo; mas solamente di la palabra[f] y mi criado[g] quedará sano. 9 Porque yo también soy hombre bajo autoridad(I), con[h] soldados a mis órdenes[i]; y digo a este: «Ve», y va; y al otro: «Ven», y viene; y a mi siervo: «Haz esto», y lo hace. 10 Al oírlo Jesús, se maravilló y dijo a los que le seguían: En verdad os digo que en Israel[j] no he hallado en nadie una fe tan grande. 11 Y os digo que vendrán muchos del oriente y del occidente(J), y se sentarán[k] a la mesa con Abraham, Isaac y Jacob en el reino de los cielos. 12 Pero los hijos del reino(K) serán arrojados a las tinieblas de afuera(L); allí será el llanto y el crujir de dientes(M). 13 Entonces Jesús dijo al centurión: Vete; así como has creído(N), te sea hecho. Y el criado[l] fue sanado en esa misma hora.

Jesús sana a la suegra de Pedro y a muchos otros

14 (O)Al llegar Jesús a casa de Pedro, vio a la suegra de este[m] que yacía en cama[n] con fiebre. 15 Le tocó la mano, y la fiebre la dejó; y ella se levantó y le servía. 16 Y al atardecer, le trajeron muchos endemoniados(P); y expulsó a los espíritus con su palabra, y sanó a todos los que estaban enfermos(Q), 17 para que se cumpliera lo que fue dicho por medio del profeta Isaías cuando dijo: El mismo tomo nuestras flaquezas y llevo[o] nuestras enfermedades(R).

Lo que demanda el discipulado

18 Viendo Jesús una multitud a su alrededor, dio orden(S) de pasar al otro lado. 19 (T)Y un escriba se le acercó y le dijo: Maestro, te seguiré adondequiera que vayas. 20 Y Jesús le dijo*: Las zorras tienen madrigueras y las aves del cielo nidos, pero el Hijo del Hombre(U) no tiene dónde recostar la cabeza. 21 Otro de los discípulos le dijo: Señor, permíteme que vaya primero y entierre a mi padre. 22 Pero Jesús le dijo*: Sígueme, y deja que los muertos entierren a sus muertos(V).

Jesús calma la tempestad

23 (W)Cuando entró Jesús[p] en la barca, sus discípulos le siguieron. 24 Y de pronto[q] se desató una gran tormenta[r] en el mar, de modo que las olas cubrían la barca; pero Jesús[s] estaba dormido. 25 Y llegándose a Él, le despertaron, diciendo: ¡Señor, sálvanos(X), que perecemos! 26 Y Él les dijo*: ¿Por qué estáis amedrentados, hombres de poca fe(Y)? Entonces se levantó, reprendió a los vientos y al mar, y sobrevino una gran calma. 27 Y los hombres se maravillaron, diciendo: ¿Quién es este, que aun los vientos y el mar le obedecen?

Los endemoniados gadarenos

28 (Z)Cuando llegó al otro lado, a la tierra de los gadarenos, le salieron al encuentro dos endemoniados(AA) que salían de los sepulcros, violentos en extremo, de manera que nadie podía pasar por aquel camino. 29 Y[t] gritaron, diciendo: ¿Qué tenemos que ver contigo[u], Hijo de Dios(AB)? ¿Has venido aquí para atormentarnos antes del tiempo[v]? 30 A cierta distancia de ellos había una piara de muchos cerdos paciendo; 31 y los demonios le rogaban, diciendo: Si vas a echarnos fuera, mándanos a la piara de cerdos. 32 Entonces Él les dijo: ¡Id! Y ellos salieron y entraron en los cerdos; y he aquí que la piara entera se precipitó por un despeñadero al mar, y perecieron en las aguas. 33 Los que cuidaban la piara huyeron; y fueron a la ciudad y lo contaron todo, incluso[w] lo de los endemoniados(AC). 34 Y[x] toda la ciudad salió al encuentro de Jesús; y cuando le vieron, le rogaron que se fuera de su comarca(AD).
