¶ Apre sa, Jezi desann soti sou ti mòn lan, yon gwo foul moun t'ap mache dèyè li.

Lè sa a, yon nonm ki te gen lalèp pwoche bò kote l', li tonbe ajenou devan Jezi, li di l' konsa: Mèt, si ou vle, ou kapab geri mwen.

Jezi lonje men l', li manyen nonm lan, li di l': Wi, mwen vle. Se pou ou geri. Menm lè a, lalèp la kite li.

Apre sa, Jezi di l': Piga ou di pesonn sa. Men, ale fè prèt yo wè ki jan ou ye. Apre sa, wa ofri sa Moyiz te bay lòd ofri a. Konsa, wa bay tout moun prèv ou geri.

¶ Antan Jezi t'ap antre lavil Kapènawòm, yon kaptenn lame women an vin bò kote li. Li mande l' yon sèvis. Li di l' konsa:

Mèt, domestik mwen an kouche lakay, li paralize nèt, l'ap soufri anpil.

Jezi di l' konsa: Mwen pral geri l' pou ou.

Men kaptenn lan reponn li: Mèt, mwen pa merite pou ou antre lakay mwen. Men, annik bay yon lòd ase, domestik mwen an va geri.

Mwen menm k'ap pale avè ou la a, mwen sou zòd chèf, mwen gen sòlda sou zòd mwen tou. Lè m' di yonn ale, li ale. Lè m' di yon lòt vini, li vini. Lè m' di domestik mwen an fè sa, li fè li.

10 Lè Jezi tande pawòl sa yo, li sezi. Li di moun ki t'ap mache dèyè li yo: Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: mwen poko janm jwenn yon moun nan pèp Izrayèl la ki gen konfyans nan Bondye tankou nonm sa a.

11 Mwen p'ap kache di nou sa: anpil moun va soti nan peyi solèy leve ak nan peyi solèy kouche, y'a vin chita sou tab ansanm ak Abraram, ak Izarak, ak Jakòb nan Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la.

12 Men, moun ki pou ta antre nan Peyi Wa a, y'ap voye yo jete deyò nan fènwa. Se la va gen rèl, se la moun va manje dan yo.

13 Apre sa, Jezi di kaptenn lan: Ale lakay ou. Tout bagay ap pase pou ou jan ou kwè l' la. Menm lè a, domestik la te geri.

14 ¶ Apre sa, Jezi ale lakay Pyè. Li jwenn bèlmè Pyè a kouche ak lafyèv.

15 Jezi manyen men madanm lan, lamenm lafyèv la kite li. Madanm lan leve, li resevwa li.

16 Lè solèy fin kouche, yo mennen anpil moun ki te gen move lespri sou yo bay Jezi. Li annik pale ak move lespri yo, li chase yo. Li te geri tout moun malad yo tou.

17 Se konsa pawòl pwofèt Ezayi te di a rive vre: Li pran enfimite nou yo sou li. Li pote maladi nou yo sou do li.

18 ¶ Jezi wè li te nan mitan yon gwo foul moun. Li bay lòd pou yo janbe lòt bò lanmè a.

19 Men, yon dirèktè lalwa pwoche bò kote l', li di l' konsa: Mèt, m'ap swiv ou tout kote ou prale.

20 Jezi reponn li: Chat mawon gen twou yo. Zwezo k'ap vole nan syèl la gen nich yo. Men, Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a pa gen kote pou l' poze tèt li.

21 Yon lòt nan disip yo di li: Mèt, pèmèt mwen al antere papa m' anvan.

22 Men Jezi di li: Swiv mwen. Kite moun mouri antere moun mouri yo.

23 ¶ Jezi moute nan kannòt la, disip li yo pati avèk li.

24 Antan yo sou lanmè a, yo rete konsa yon gwo van vin leve. Lanm lanmè yo t'ap kouvri kannòt la. Jezi menm t'ap dòmi lè sa a.

25 Disip yo pwoche bò kote li. Yo souke l', yo fè l' leve. Yo di l' konsa: Mèt, sove nou non. Se mouri n'ap mouri.

26 Jezi di yo: Poukisa nou pè konsa? Ala moun manke konfyans! Apre sa, Jezi leve kanpe, li pale byen fò ak van an ansanm ak dlo a. Lamenm yon gwo kalmi fèt.

27 Mesye yo te sezi anpil. Yo di konsa: Ki kalite moun sa a menm, pou jouk van ak dlo lanmè obeyi li?

28 ¶ Lè Jezi rive lòt bò lanmè a, nan peyi Gadarenyen yo, de moun soti nan mitan tonm mò yo, yo vin devan li. Mesye sa yo te gen move lespri sou yo. Yo te sitèlman move pesonn pa t' kapab pase nan chemen sa a.

29 Yo tou de pran rele ansanm: Ey, Pitit Bondye a. Kisa nou gen avè ou? Eske ou vin isit la pou fè n' soufri anvan lè nou?

30 Toupre kote yo te ye a, te gen yon bann kochon ki t'ap chache manje pou yo manje.

31 Move lespri yo mande Jezi: Tanpri, si ou vle chase nou, voye nou sou bann kochon sa yo.

32 Jezi di yo: Ale non. Move lespri yo soti sou de mesye yo, yo antre nan kochon yo. Menm lè a, tout bann kochon yo pran degrengole desann falèz la, y al neye tèt yo nan lanmè.

33 Moun ki t'ap gade kochon yo pran kouri. Y ale lavil la, yo rakonte tou sa ki te pase ansanm ak sa ki te rive de mesye yo ki te gen move lespri sou yo.

34 Lè sa a, tout moun lavil la soti vin jwenn Jezi. Lè yo wè l', yo mande li: Tanpri souple, ale fè wout ou.

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)
