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:
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)

Jesus Cleanses a Leper(A)
8 When He had come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed Him. 2 (B)And behold, a leper came and (C)worshiped Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”
3 Then Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately his leprosy (D)was cleansed.
4 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)
5 (I)Now when Jesus had entered Capernaum, a (J)centurion came to Him, pleading with Him, 6 saying, “Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, dreadfully tormented.”
7 And Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.”
8 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. 9 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.

8 And when Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach came down from the mountain, many multitudes followed him.
2 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).
3 And, having stretched out his hand, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach touched him, saying, I am willing. Be made tahor.
4 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.
5 Now when Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach entered into Kfar-Nachum, a centurion approached him, begging him
6 and saying, Adoneinu, my servant has been bedridden in the house, paralyzed, in terrible tza’ar.
7 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to him, I am coming. I will bring him refuah (healing).
8 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).
9 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.

Jezus geneest een man met een besmettelijke huidziekte
8 Toen Jezus de berg weer was afgedaald, volgden grote groepen mensen Hem. 2 Er kwam een man naar Jezus toe die een besmettelijke huidziekte had.[a] Hij liet zich voor Jezus op zijn knieën vallen en zei: "Heer, als U het wil, kunt U mij gezond maken." 3 Jezus stak zijn hand uit, raakte hem aan[b] en zei: "Ik wil het. Wees weer gezond!" Onmiddellijk werd zijn huid gezond. 4 Jezus zei tegen hem: "Denk erom dat je dit aan niemand vertelt. Ga naar de priester en laat hem zien dat je weer gezond bent. Breng dan het offer dat Mozes heeft bevolen.[c] Dat zal voor de mensen het bewijs zijn dat je genezen bent."
Jezus geneest de knecht van een Romeinse legerhoofdman
5 Daarna kwam Jezus in Kapernaüm. Daar kwam een Romeinse hoofdman naar Hem toe. 6 Hij zei tegen Jezus: "Heer, mijn knecht ligt ziek thuis. Hij is verlamd en heeft erge pijn." 7 Jezus zei tegen hem: "Ik zal komen en hem genezen." 8 Maar de hoofdman antwoordde: "Heer, ik ben het niet waard dat U in mijn huis komt. Maar U hoeft maar één woord te zeggen. Dan zal mijn knecht gezond worden. 9 Want ik moet zelf ook gehoorzamen aan de mensen die boven mij staan en mij bevelen geven. En ik heb zelf soldaten aan wie ik bevelen geef. Als ik tegen de één zeg: 'Ga!' dan gaat hij. En als ik tegen een ander zeg: 'Kom!' dan komt hij. En als ik tegen mijn slaaf zeg: 'Doe dit!' dan doet hij het."
10 Toen Jezus dit hoorde, was Hij verbaasd. Hij zei tegen de mensen die met Hem meeliepen: "Luister goed! Ik zeg jullie dat Ik in heel Israël bij niemand zo'n groot geloof heb gevonden! 11 Ik zeg jullie dat er veel mensen vanuit de hele wereld in het Koninkrijk van God zullen komen. Daar zullen ze met Abraham en Izaäk en Jakob aan tafel zitten. 12 Maar de kinderen van het Koninkrijk[d] zullen worden weggestuurd naar de verste duisternis. Daar zullen ze huilen en met hun tanden knarsen van spijt." 13 En Jezus zei tegen de hoofdman: "Ga naar huis. Wat je gelooft, zal gebeuren." En de knecht genas, precies op dat moment.
Genezingen in het huis van Petrus
14 Jezus kwam in het huis van Petrus. Daar zag Hij dat de moeder van Petrus' vrouw met koorts in bed lag. 15 Hij raakte haar hand aan en de koorts verdween. Ze stond op en bediende Jezus. 16 Toen het avond werd, brachten de mensen heel veel mensen naar Hem toe in wie duivelse geesten zaten. Hij gaf de duivelse geesten het bevel uit hen weg te gaan, en ze gehoorzaamden. Hij maakte iedereen die ziek was weer gezond. 17 Zo gebeurde wat de profeet Jesaja vroeger al had gezegd: 'Hij heeft onze kwalen op Zich genomen en onze ziekten heeft Hij weggedragen.'
18 Jezus zag dat er inmiddels wel heel veel mensen gekomen waren. Daarom zei Hij tegen zijn leerlingen dat ze met Hem naar de overkant van het meer moesten varen. 19 Toen kwam er een wetgeleerde naar Hem toe. Hij zei: "Meester, ik zal U volgen, waar U ook heen gaat." 20 Jezus zei tegen hem: "De vossen hebben holen en de vogels hebben nesten. Maar de Mensenzoon heeft geen plek om te slapen."
21 Eén van zijn leerlingen zei tegen Hem: "Heer, ik wil U ook wel volgen. Maar mag ik wachten tot ik mijn vader heb begraven?" 22 Maar Jezus zei tegen hem: "Volg Mij! Laten de doden hun doden maar begraven."
De storm op het meer
23 Toen stapte Jezus met zijn leerlingen in de boot. 24 Het begon hevig te stormen, zodat de golven in de boot sloegen. Maar Jezus lag te slapen. 25 De leerlingen maakten Hem wakker en riepen: "Heer, red ons! We zinken!" 26 Hij zei tegen hen: "Waarom zijn jullie bang? Wat is jullie geloof toch klein!" Hij stond op en sprak streng tegen de wind en het meer. En het water en de wind werden helemaal rustig. 27 De mannen waren stomverbaasd en zeiden: "Wat is Hij toch voor iemand? Zelfs de wind en het water gehoorzamen Hem!"
Jezus jaagt duivelse geesten uit twee mannen
28 Jezus kwam aan de overkant van het meer. Dat was de streek van de Gadarénen. Er kwamen twee mensen naar Hem toe die in de macht waren van duivelse geesten. Ze woonden op de begraafplaats. Ze waren erg gevaarlijk en niemand durfde langs de begraafplaats te gaan. 29 Ze schreeuwden tegen Jezus: "Wat moet U van ons, Zoon van God? Bent U gekomen om ons pijn te doen vóórdat het de afgesproken tijd is?"
30 Daar in de buurt werd een grote kudde varkens gehoed. 31 De duivelse geesten smeekten Jezus: "Als U ons eruit jaagt, mogen we dan in die varkens gaan?" 32 Jezus zei tegen hen: "Ga!" Toen vertrokken ze uit de mannen en gingen in de varkens. En de hele kudde sloeg op hol. De varkens stortten van de steile berghelling af, het meer in. Alle dieren verdronken. 33 De herders van de varkens vluchtten weg. Toen ze in de stad kwamen, vertelden ze wat er met de varkens en met de twee mannen was gebeurd. 34 Toen kwamen alle bewoners van de stad naar Jezus toe. Ze vroegen Hem om uit hun gebied te vertrekken.
