Jesus Cleanses a Leper

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

The Centurion’s Faith

And (G)when [f]Jesus entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, pleading with Him, and saying, “[g]Lord, my [h]servant is [i]lying (H)paralyzed at home, fearfully tormented.” And Jesus *said to him, “I will come and heal him.” But the centurion said, “[j]Lord, I am not good enough for You to come under my roof, but just [k]say the word, and my [l]servant will be healed. For I also am a man under (I)authority, with soldiers under me; and I say to this man, ‘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 marveled and said to those who were following, “Truly I say to you, I have not found such great faith [m]with anyone in Israel. 11 And I say to you that many (J)will come from east and west, and [n]recline at the table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven; 12 but (K)the sons of the kingdom will be cast 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; [o]it shall be done for you (N)as you have believed.” And the [p]servant was healed that very [q]moment.

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

14 (O)When Jesus came into Peter’s [r]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 began [s]waiting 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 in order to fulfill what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying, “(R)He Himself took our infirmities and [t]carried away our diseases.”

The Cost of Following Jesus

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 [u]air have [v]nests, but (U)the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.” 21 And another of the disciples said to Him, “Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father.” 22 But Jesus *said to him, (V)Follow Me, and allow the dead to bury their own dead.”

Jesus Calms a Storm

23 (W)And when He got into the boat, His disciples followed Him. 24 And behold, there arose [w]a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being covered with the waves; but Jesus Himself was sleeping. 25 And they came to Him and got Him up, saying, “(X)Save us, Lord; we are perishing!” 26 And He *said to them, “Why are you so cowardly, (Y)you men of little faith?” Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and [x]it became perfectly calm. 27 And the men marveled, and said, “What kind of a man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?”

Jesus Saves Men from Demons

28 (Z)And when He came to the other side, into the region of the Gadarenes, two men who were (AA)demon-possessed met Him as they were coming out of the tombs. They were so extremely violent that no one could pass by that way. 29 And behold, they cried out, saying, “[y](AB)What do we have to do with You, Son of God? Have You come here to torment us before the [z]time?” 30 Now there was a herd of many swine feeding at a distance from them. 31 And the demons began to plead with Him, saying, “If You are going to cast us out, send us into the herd of swine.” 32 And He said to them, “Go!” And coming out, they went into the swine; and behold, the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea and perished in the waters. 33 Now the herdsmen ran away, and went to the city and reported everything, [aa]including what had happened to the (AC)demoniacs. 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.

And when Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach came down from the mountain, many multitudes followed him.

And an ish metzorah (a leper) there was who approached him and fell down before Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, saying, Adoneinu, if you choose, you can make me tahor (clean).

And, having stretched out his hand, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach touched him, saying, I am willing. Be made tahor.

And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to him, See that you tell no one, but go and show yourself to the kohen and offer the korban about which Moshe gave mitzvah as an edut to them.

Now when Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach entered into Kfar-Nachum, a centurion approached him, begging him

and saying, Adoneinu, my servant has been bedridden in the house, paralyzed, in terrible tza’ar.

And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to him, I am coming. I will bring him refuah (healing).

The centurion answered, Adoneinu, I am not worthy that you might come under my roof, but only say the dvar, and my servant will receive the refuah (healing).

For I also am a man under marut (authority), having soldiers subordinate to myself, 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 And having heard this, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was amazed and said to those who followed him, Omein, I say to you, in no one in Yisroel have I found such great emunah.

11 And I say to you, that many from the mizrach (east) and the maarav (west) will come and will sit bimesibba (reclining at tish) with Avraham and Yitzchak and Yaakov in the Malchut HaShomayim.

12 But the Bnei HaMalchut will be thrown out into the outer choshech (darkness), where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.

13 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to the centurion, Go! According to your bitachon (trust), your emunah (faith), let it be for you. And his servant was given refuah (healing) punkt (exactly) at that hour.

14 When Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach entered the bais (house) of Kefa, he saw the chamot (mother-in-law, shviger) bedridden and fever stricken.

15 Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach touched her hand, and the fever left her. She then began functioning as his mesharetet (servant, lady minister), serving Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.

16 And when erev (evening) had come, they brought to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach many possessed by shedim (evil spirits, demons), and he cast out the shedim with a dvar, and all the cholim (sick persons) he healed.

17 Thus was fulfilled what was spoken by Yeshayah the Navi, saying, ACHEN CHOLAYEINU HU NASA UMACHOVEINU SVALAM (Surely he took up our sicknesses and he carried away [T.N. like the Yom Kippur sa’ir l’Azazel scapegoat kapporah] our sorrows, YESHAYAH 53:4).

18 And when he saw the crowd around him, he gave orders to go over to the other side.

19 A sofer (scribe, Torah teacher) approached Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach and said, Rebbe, I will follow you wherever you go.

20 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to him, Foxes have holes and the OPH HASHOMAYIM (birds of heaven, IYOV 35:11) have nests, but the Ben HaAdam [Moshiach, DANIEL 7:13-14] does not have a place where he may lay his head.

21 And another of Moshiach’s talmidim said to him, Adoneinu, allow me first to go and bury my father.

22 But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to him, Follow me, and permit the mesim (spiritually dead ones without hitkhadshut, spiritually unregenerate ones) to bury their own mesim (deceased ones, niftarim).

23 And when he embarked into the sirah, Moshiach’s talmidim followed him.

24 And hinei! a great storm came up on the lake, so that the sirah (boat) was about to be covered by the waves. But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was sleeping.

25 And Moshiach’s talmidim approached and woke him, saying, Adoneinu, hoshieinu! We are perishing!

26 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to them, Why are you fearful, you ones of little emunah? Then, arising, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach rebuked the winds and the sea. And there was a great calm.

27 And the men were astonished, saying, What sort of man is this!? That even the winds and the sea obey him!

28 And when Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach came to the other side of the lake, in the land of the people of Gadara, he was met by two men possessed by shedim (demons); these men were coming out of the kevarim (tombs) of the burial caves and were so dangerous no one could pass by on that road.

29 And they screamed, saying, Mah lanu valach, Ben HaElohim? (What to us and to you, Ben HaElohim? T.N. i.e., What business do you have with us, Ben HaElohim) Have you come here to torture us before the time [of the Yom HaDin, the Day of Judgment]?

30 Now there was feeding far away from them a large herd of chazirim (swine).

31 And the shedim begged him, saying, If you cast us out, send us into the herd of chazirim.

32 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, Go away! So the shedim, coming out, went away into the chazirim. And, hinei, all the herd of chazirim rushed down the bank into the lake, and they perished in the water.

33 And the herdsmen of the chazirim fled, and, having gone away into the town, they told the whole story of what had happened to the men possessed by shedim.

34 And hinei! The whole town came out to meet Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach. And seeing him, they begged him to depart from their area.

O leproso purificado(A)

E, descendo ele do monte, seguiu-o uma grande multidão. E eis que veio um leproso e o adorou, dizendo: Senhor, se quiseres, podes tornar-me limpo. E Jesus, estendendo a mão, tocou-o, dizendo: Quero; sê limpo. E logo ficou purificado da lepra. Disse-lhe, então, Jesus: Olha, não o digas a alguém, mas vai, mostra-te ao sacerdote e apresenta a oferta que Moisés determinou, para lhes servir de testemunho.

O centurião de Cafarnaum(B)

E, entrando Jesus em Cafarnaum, chegou junto dele um centurião, rogando-lhe e dizendo: Senhor, o meu criado jaz em casa paralítico e violentamente atormentado. E Jesus lhe disse: Eu irei e lhe darei saúde. E o centurião, respondendo, disse: Senhor, não sou digno de que entres debaixo do meu telhado, mas dize somente uma palavra, e o meu criado sarará, pois também eu sou homem sob autoridade e tenho soldados às minhas ordens; e digo a este: vai, e ele vai; e a outro: vem, e ele vem; e ao meu criado: faze isto, e ele o faz. 10 E maravilhou-se Jesus, ouvindo isso, e disse aos que o seguiam: Em verdade vos digo que nem mesmo em Israel encontrei tanta fé. 11 Mas eu vos digo que muitos virão do Oriente e do Ocidente e assentar-se-ão à mesa com Abraão, e Isaque, e Jacó, no Reino dos céus; 12 E os filhos do Reino serão lançados nas trevas exteriores; ali, haverá pranto e ranger de dentes. 13 Então, disse Jesus ao centurião: Vai, e como creste te seja feito. E, naquela mesma hora, o seu criado sarou.

A sogra de Pedro(C)

14 E Jesus, entrando na casa de Pedro, viu a sogra deste jazendo com febre. 15 E tocou-lhe na mão, e a febre a deixou; e levantou-se e serviu-os.

16 E, chegada a tarde, trouxeram-lhe muitos endemoninhados, e ele, com a sua palavra, expulsou deles os espíritos e curou todos os que estavam enfermos, 17 para que se cumprisse o que fora dito pelo profeta Isaías, que diz: Ele tomou sobre si as nossas enfermidades e levou as nossas doenças.

Como devemos seguir a Jesus(D)

18 E Jesus, vendo em torno de si uma grande multidão, ordenou que passassem para a outra margem. 19 E, aproximando-se dele um escriba, disse: Mestre, aonde quer que fores, eu te seguirei. 20 E disse Jesus: As raposas têm covis, e as aves do céu têm ninhos, mas o Filho do Homem não tem onde reclinar a cabeça. 21 E outro de seus discípulos lhe disse: Senhor, permite-me que, primeiramente, vá sepultar meu pai. 22 Jesus, porém, disse-lhe: Segue-me e deixa aos mortos sepultar os seus mortos.

Jesus apazigua a tempestade(E)

23 E, entrando ele no barco, seus discípulos o seguiram. 24 E eis que, no mar, se levantou uma tempestade tão grande, que o barco era coberto pelas ondas; ele, porém, estava dormindo. 25 E os seus discípulos, aproximando-se, o despertaram, dizendo: Senhor, salva-nos, que perecemos. 26 E ele disse-lhes: Por que temeis, homens de pequena fé? Então, levantando-se, repreendeu os ventos e o mar, e seguiu-se uma grande bonança. 27 E aqueles homens se maravilharam, dizendo: Que homem é este, que até os ventos e o mar lhe obedecem?

Os endemoninhados gadarenos(F)

28 E, tendo chegado à outra margem, à província dos gadarenos, saíram-lhe ao encontro dois endemoninhados, vindos dos sepulcros; tão ferozes eram, que ninguém podia passar por aquele caminho. 29 E eis que clamaram, dizendo: Que temos nós contigo, Jesus, Filho de Deus? Vieste aqui atormentar-nos antes do tempo? 30 E andava pastando distante deles uma manada de muitos porcos. 31 E os demônios rogaram-lhe, dizendo: Se nos expulsas, permite-nos que entremos naquela manada de porcos. 32 E ele lhes disse: Ide. E, saindo eles, se introduziram na manada dos porcos; e eis que toda aquela manada de porcos se precipitou no mar por um despenhadeiro, e morreram nas águas. 33 Os porqueiros fugiram e, chegando à cidade, divulgaram tudo o que acontecera aos endemoninhados. 34 E eis que toda aquela cidade saiu ao encontro de Jesus, e, vendo-o, rogaram-lhe que se retirasse do seu território.
