Jesus Heals a Man With Leprosy(A)

When Jesus came down from the mountainside, large crowds followed him. A man with leprosy[a](B) came and knelt before him(C) and said, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.”

Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” Immediately he was cleansed of his leprosy. 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)

When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking for help. “Lord,” he said, “my servant lies at home paralyzed,(H) suffering terribly.”

Jesus said to him, “Shall I come and heal him?”

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) 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)

A, no ka heke iho ia i te maunga, he rahi te hui i aru i a ia.

Na ka haere tetahi repera, ka koropiko ki a ia, ka mea, E te Ariki, ki te pai koe, e taea ahau e koe te mea kia ma.

A ka totoro te ringa o Ihu, ka pa ki a ia, ka mea, E pai ana ahau; kia ma koe. A ma tonu iho tona repera.

Katahi ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, Kia mahara, kei korerotia ki te tangata; erangi haere, kia kite te tohunga i a koe, mauria atu hoki te whakahere i whakaritea e Mohi, hei mea whakaatu ki a ratou.

A, no ka tae a Ihu ki Kaperenauma, ka haere ki a ia tetahi keneturio, ka inoi ki a ia,

Ka mea, E te Ariki, ko taku pononga kei te whare e takoto ana, he pararutiki, e ngaua kinotia ana.

A ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, Ka haere ahau ki te whakaora i a ia.

Na ko te whakahokinga a te keneturio, ko te meatanga, E te Ariki, ehara ahau i te tikanga tangata e haere ake ai koe ki raro i toku tuanui; engari kia puaki kau tau kupu, a ka ora taku pononga.

He tangata hoki ahau e whakahaua ana, he hoia ano aku hei whakahaunga maku: ka mea ahau ki tenei, Haere, na ka haere ia; ki tetahi, Haere mai, a ka haere mai; ki taku pononga hoki, Meatia tenei, a ka meatia e ia.

10 A, no te rongonga o Ihu, ka miharo, ka mea ki te hunga e aru ana, He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Kahore ahau i kite noa i te whakapono hei rite mo tenei te nui i roto i a Iharaira.

11 Ko taku kupu ano tenei ki a koutou, He tokomaha e haere mai i te rawhiti, i te hauauru, a e noho tahi i a Aperahama, i a Ihaka, i a Hakopa, ki te rangatiratanga o te rangi:

12 Ko nga tamariki ia o te rangatiratanga ka maka ki te pouri i waho: ko te wahi tera o te tangi, o te tetea o nga niho.

13 Na ka mea a Ihu ki te keneturio, Haere, kia rite ki tou whakapono te meatanga ki a koe. A ora ake ana taua pononga i taua wa pu ano.

14 A, no ka tae a Ihu ki te whare o Pita, ka kite ia i tona hungawai wahine e takoto mate ana, he kirika.

15 Na ka pa ia ki tona ringaringa, a mutu ake tona kirika: a ara ake ana ia ki te taka mea ma ratou.

16 Na i te ahiahi he tokomaha te hunga e nohoia ana e nga rewera i mauria mai ki a ia: na ka peia e tana kupu nga wairua ki waho, a whakaorangia ake e ia te hunga mate katoa:

17 I rite ai ta Ihaia poropiti i korero ai, i mea ai, nana i tango o tatou ngoikore, i waha o tatou mate.

18 Na, i te kitenga o Ihu he rahi te hui e mui ana ki a ia, ka whakahau ia kia whakawhiti ki tawahi.

19 A ka haere tetahi karaipi, ka mea ki a ia, E te Kaiwhakaako, ka aru ahau i a koe ki nga wahi katoa e haere ai koe.

20 A ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, He rua o nga pokiha, he kowhanga o nga manu o te rangi; tena ko te Tama a te tangata, kahore ona wahi e takoto ai tona matenga.

21 A i mea tetahi atu o ana akonga ki a ia, E te Ariki tukua ahau kia matua haere ki te tanu i toku papa.

22 Na ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, Arumia ahau: a waiho ma nga tupapaku e tanu o ratou tupapaku.

23 A, no ka eke ia ki te kaipuke, ka aru ana akonga i a ia.

24 Na ka tutu te puehu o te moana, a ngaro iho te kaipuke i te ngaru; i te moe hoki ia.

25 A ka haere ana akonga, ka whakaara i a ia, ka mea, E te Ariki, whakaorangia tatou, ka ngaro tatou.

26 A ka mea ia ki a ratou, He aha ta koutou e wehi, e te hunga whakapono iti? Me i reira ka ara ia, a riria iho te hau me te moana; a takoto ana he marino nui.

27 A miharo noa nga tangata, ka mea, He tangata aha tenei, ina, rongo rawa te hau me te moana ki a ia!

28 A, no ka whiti ia ki tarawahi, ki te whenua o nga Kerekehini, ka tutaki ki a ia etahi tangata tokorua e nohoia ana e te rewera, e puta ana mai i roto i nga urupa, he hunga tutu rawa, te taea taua ara te haere e te tangata.

29 Na ka karanga ake raua, ka mea, He aha maua nau, e Ihu, e te Tama a te Atua? kua tae mai oti koe ki te whakamamae i a maua i te mea kahore ano i rite te taima?

30 Na tera tetahi kahui poaka i tawhiti atu i a ratou e kai ana, he tini.

31 A ka inoi nga rewera ki a ia, ka mea, Ki te pei koe i a matou, tukua matou kia haere ki roto ki te kahui poaka.

32 Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, Haere. Na, ko to ratou putanga ki waho, haere ana ki roto ki te kahui poaka; na ko te tino rerenga o te kahui poaka katoa ra te pari ki te moana, a mate iho ki roto ki te wai.

33 Na ka whati nga kaiwhangai, a haere ana ki te pa, korero ana i nga mea katoa, me te meatanga ki te hunga i nohoia e nga rewera.

34 Na puta katoa ana te pa ki waho, ki te whakatau i a Ihu; a ka kite i a ia, ka tohe kia haere atu ia i o ratou wahi.

Jesus Cleanses a Leper(A)

When He had come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed Him. (B)And behold, a leper came and (C)worshiped Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”

Then Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately his leprosy (D)was cleansed.

And Jesus said to him, (E)“See that you tell no one; but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that (F)Moses (G)commanded, as a testimony to them.”

Jesus Heals a Centurion’s Servant(H)

(I)Now when Jesus had entered Capernaum, a (J)centurion came to Him, pleading with Him, saying, “Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, dreadfully tormented.”

And Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.”

The centurion answered and said, “Lord, (K)I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only (L)speak a word, and my servant will be healed. For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. 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 When Jesus heard it, He marveled, and said to those who followed, “Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel! 11 And I say to you that (M)many will come from east and west, and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. 12 But (N)the sons of the kingdom (O)will be cast out into outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” 13 Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go your way; and as you have believed, so let it be done for you.” And his servant was healed that same hour.

Peter’s Mother-in-Law Healed(P)

14 (Q)Now when Jesus had come into Peter’s house, He saw (R)his wife’s mother lying sick with a fever. 15 So He touched her hand, and the fever left her. And she arose and served [a]them.

Many Healed in the Evening(S)

16 (T)When evening had come, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed. And He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick, 17 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying:

(U)He Himself took our infirmities
And bore our sicknesses.”

The Cost of Discipleship(V)

18 And when Jesus saw great multitudes about Him, He gave a command to depart to the other side. 19 (W)Then a certain scribe came and said to Him, “Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go.”

20 And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.”

21 (X)Then another of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, (Y)let me first go and bury my father.”

22 But Jesus said to him, “Follow Me, and let the dead bury their own dead.”

Wind and Wave Obey Jesus(Z)

23 Now when He got into a boat, His disciples followed Him. 24 (AA)And suddenly a great tempest arose on the sea, so that the boat was covered with the waves. But He was asleep. 25 Then His disciples came to Him and awoke Him, saying, “Lord, save us! We are perishing!”

26 But He said to them, “Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?” Then (AB)He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. 27 So the men marveled, saying, [b]“Who can this be, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?”

Two Demon-Possessed Men Healed(AC)

28 (AD)When He had come to the other side, to the country of the [c]Gergesenes, there met Him two demon-possessed men, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that no one could pass that way. 29 And suddenly they cried out, saying, “What have we to do with You, Jesus, You Son of God? Have You come here to torment us before the time?”

30 Now a good way off from them there was a herd of many swine feeding. 31 So the demons begged Him, saying, “If You cast us out, [d]permit us to go away into the herd of swine.”

32 And He said to them, “Go.” So when they had come out, they went into the herd of swine. And suddenly the whole herd of swine ran violently down the steep place into the sea, and perished in the water.

33 Then those who kept them fled; and they went away into the city and told everything, including what had happened to the demon-possessed men. 34 And behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus. And when they saw Him, (AE)they begged Him to depart from their region.
