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)

Matthieu 8
Louis Segond
8 Lorsque Jésus fut descendu de la montagne, une grande foule le suivit.
2 Et voici, un lépreux s'étant approché se prosterna devant lui, et dit: Seigneur, si tu le veux, tu peux me rendre pur.
3 Jésus étendit la main, le toucha, et dit: Je le veux, sois pur. Aussitôt il fut purifié de sa lèpre.
4 Puis Jésus lui dit: Garde-toi d'en parler à personne; mais va te montrer au sacrificateur, et présente l'offrande que Moïse a prescrite, afin que cela leur serve de témoignage.
5 Comme Jésus entrait dans Capernaüm, un centenier l'aborda,
6 le priant et disant: Seigneur, mon serviteur est couché à la maison, atteint de paralysie et souffrant beaucoup.
7 Jésus lui dit: J'irai, et je le guérirai.
8 Le centenier répondit: Seigneur, je ne suis pas digne que tu entres sous mon toit; mais dis seulement un mot, et mon serviteur sera guéri.
9 Car, moi qui suis soumis à des supérieurs, j'ai des soldats sous mes ordres; et je dis à l'un: Va! et il va; à l'autre: Viens! et il vient; et à mon serviteur: Fais cela! et il le fait.
10 Après l'avoir entendu, Jésus fut dans l'étonnement, et il dit à ceux qui le suivaient: Je vous le dis en vérité, même en Israël je n'ai pas trouvé une aussi grande foi.
11 Or, je vous déclare que plusieurs viendront de l'orient et de l'occident, et seront à table avec Abraham, Isaac et Jacob, dans le royaume des cieux.
12 Mais les fils du royaume seront jetés dans les ténèbres du dehors, où il y aura des pleurs et des grincements de dents.
13 Puis Jésus dit au centenier: Va, qu'il te soit fait selon ta foi. Et à l'heure même le serviteur fut guéri.
14 Jésus se rendit ensuite à la maison de Pierre, dont il vit la belle-mère couchée et ayant la fièvre.
15 Il toucha sa main, et la fièvre la quitta; puis elle se leva, et le servit.
16 Le soir, on amena auprès de Jésus plusieurs démoniaques. Il chassa les esprits par sa parole, et il guérit tous les malades,
17 afin que s'accomplît ce qui avait été annoncé par Ésaïe, le prophète: Il a pris nos infirmités, et il s'est chargé de nos maladies.
18 Jésus, voyant une grande foule autour de lui, donna l'ordre de passer à l'autre bord.
19 Un scribe s'approcha, et lui dit: Maître, je te suivrai partout où tu iras.
20 Jésus lui répondit: Les renards ont des tanières, et les oiseaux du ciel ont des nids; mais le Fils de l'homme n'a pas où reposer sa tête.
21 Un autre, d'entre les disciples, lui dit: Seigneur, permets-moi d'aller d'abord ensevelir mon père.
22 Mais Jésus lui répondit: Suis-moi, et laisse les morts ensevelir leurs morts.
23 Il monta dans la barque, et ses disciples le suivirent.
24 Et voici, il s'éleva sur la mer une si grande tempête que la barque était couverte par les flots. Et lui, il dormait.
25 Les disciples s'étant approchés le réveillèrent, et dirent: Seigneur, sauve-nous, nous périssons!
26 Il leur dit: Pourquoi avez-vous peur, gens de peu de foi? Alors il se leva, menaça les vents et la mer, et il y eut un grand calme.
27 Ces hommes furent saisis d'étonnement: Quel est celui-ci, disaient-ils, à qui obéissent même les vents et la mer?
28 Lorsqu'il fut à l'autre bord, dans le pays des Gadaréniens, deux démoniaques, sortant des sépulcres, vinrent au-devant de lui. Ils étaient si furieux que personne n'osait passer par là.
29 Et voici, ils s'écrièrent: Qu'y a-t-il entre nous et toi, Fils de Dieu? Es-tu venu ici pour nous tourmenter avant le temps?
30 Il y avait loin d'eux un grand troupeau de pourceaux qui paissaient.
31 Les démons priaient Jésus, disant: Si tu nous chasses, envoie-nous dans ce troupeau de pourceaux.
32 Il leur dit: Allez! Ils sortirent, et entrèrent dans les pourceaux. Et voici, tout le troupeau se précipita des pentes escarpées dans la mer, et ils périrent dans les eaux.
33 Ceux qui les faisaient paître s'enfuirent, et allèrent dans la ville raconter tout ce qui s'était passé et ce qui était arrivé aux démoniaques.
34 Alors toute la ville sortit à la rencontre de Jésus; et, dès qu'ils le virent, ils le supplièrent de quitter leur territoire.
Matthew 8
Revised Geneva Translation
8 Now when He had come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed Him.
2 And behold, a leper came and worshipped Him, saying, “Master, if You will, You can make me clean.”
3 And Jesus, putting forth His hand, touched him, saying, “I will. Be clean.” And immediately, his leprosy was cleansed.
4 Then 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, for a witness to them.”
5 When Jesus had entered into Capernaum, there came to Him a centurion, begging Him,
6 and said, “Master, my servant lies at home, sick of the palsy and grievously pained.”
7 And Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.”
8 But the centurion answered, saying, “Master, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But speak only the word, and my servant shall be healed.
9 “For I also am a man under authority 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 marveled, and said to those who followed Him, “Truly, I say to you, I have not found so great faith, even in Israel.
11 “But, I say to 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 “And the children of the Kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
13 Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go your way. And as you have believed, so be it done to you.” And his servant was healed that same hour.
14 And when Jesus came to Peter’s house, He saw his wife’s mother laid down, and sick of a fever.
15 And He touched her hand. And the fever left her. So, she arose and ministered to them.
16 When evening had come, they brought to Him many who were possessed with demons. And He cast out the spirits with His word, and healed all who were sick,
17 so that which was spoken by Isaiah the Prophet might be fulfilled, which says, “He took our infirmities, and bore our sicknesses.”
18 And when Jesus saw great multitudes of people around Him, He commanded them to go over the water.
19 Then, a certain scribe came and said to Him, “Master, I will follow You wherever You go.”
20 But Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to rest His head.”
21 And another of His disciples said to Him, “Master, let me first go and bury my father.”
22 But Jesus said to him, “Follow Me. And let the dead bury the dead.”
23 And when He had entered into the ship, His disciples followed Him.
24 And behold, there arose a storm in the sea, so that the ship was covered with waves. But He was asleep.
25 Then His disciples came and woke Him, saying, “Master, save us! We are perishing!”
26 And He said to them, “Why are you fearful? O you of little faith.” Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea. And so, there was a great calm.
27 And the men marveled, saying, “What kind of man is this, that both the winds and the sea obey Him?”
28 And when He had come to the other side, into the country of the Gergesenes, two possessed with demons met Him there, who came very fiercely out of the graves, so that no one could go near there.
29 And behold, they cried out, saying, “Jesus, the Son of God! What have we to do with You!? Have you come here to torment us before the time!?”
30 Now, there was a great herd of swine, feeding far away from them.
31 And the demons begged Him, saying, “If You cast us out, let us to go into the herd of swine!”
32 And He said to them, “Go!” So, they went out and departed into the herd of swine. And behold, the whole herd of swine ran headlong into the sea and died in the water.
33 Then the herdsmen fled. And when they had come into the city, they told all things, and what had become of those who were possessed with the demons.
34 And behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus. And when they saw Him, they begged Him to depart from that region.
