² Jehovah loveth the gates of Zion more than all the habitations of Jacob.

³ Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah.

⁴ I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon among them that know me; behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia: this [man] was born there.

⁵ And of Zion it shall be said, This one and that one was born in her; and the Most High himself shall establish her.

⁶ Jehovah will count, when he inscribeth the peoples, This [man] was born there. Selah.

⁷ As well the singers as the dancers [shall say], All my springs are in thee.

¹⁸ And I,—their works and their thoughts [are before me]. … [The time] cometh for the gathering of all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory.

¹⁹ And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that escape of them unto the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow; to Tubal and Javan, to the isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory: and they shall declare my glory among the nations.

²⁰ And they shall bring all your brethren out of all the nations as an oblation unto Jehovah, upon horses, and in chariots, and in covered waggons, and upon mules, and upon dromedaries, to my holy mountain, to Jerusalem, saith Jehovah, as the children of Israel bring an oblation in a clean vessel into the house of Jehovah.

²¹ And I will also take of them for priests [and] for Levites, saith Jehovah.

²² For as the new heavens and the new earth which I will make shall remain before me, saith Jehovah, so shall your seed and your name remain.

²³ And it shall come to pass from new moon to new moon, and from sabbath to sabbath, all flesh shall come to worship before me, saith Jehovah.

8 And when he had come down from the mountain, great crowds followed him.

² And behold, a leper came up to [him] and did him homage, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou art able to cleanse me.

³ And he stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, I will; be cleansed. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

⁴ And Jesus says to him, See thou tell no man, but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift which Moses ordained, for a testimony to them.

⁵ And when he had entered into Capernaum, a centurion came to him, beseeching him,

⁶ and saying, Lord, my servant lies paralytic in the house, suffering grievously.

⁷ And Jesus says to him, *I* will come and heal him.

⁸ And the centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not fit that thou shouldest enter under my roof; but only speak a word, and my servant shall be healed.

⁹ For *I* also am a man under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say to this [one], Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my bondman, Do this, and he does it.

¹⁰ And when Jesus heard it, he wondered, and said to those who followed, Verily I say unto you, Not even in Israel have I found so great faith.

¹¹ But I say unto you, that many shall come from [the] rising and setting [sun], and shall lie down at table with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of the heavens;

¹² but the sons of the kingdom shall be cast out into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

¹³ And Jesus said to the centurion, Go, and as thou hast believed, be it to thee. And his servant was healed in that hour.
