Matthew 8 [Context] [Commentary] [Map] 
|
| 1. |
When he came down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him. |
| 2. |
Behold, a leper came to him and worshiped him, saying, "Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean." |
| 3. |
Jesus stretched out his hand, and touched him, saying, "I want to. Be made clean." Immediately his leprosy was cleansed. |
| 4. |
Jesus said to him, "See that you tell nobody, but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them." |
| 5. |
When he came into Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking him, |
| 6. |
and saying, "Lord, my servant lies in the house paralyzed, grievously tormented." |
| 7. |
Jesus said to him, "I will come and heal him." |
| 8. |
The centurion answered, "Lord, I'm not worthy for you to come under my roof. Just say the word, and my servant will be healed. |
| 9. |
For I am also a man under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, 'Go,' and he goes; and tell another, 'Come,' and he comes; and tell my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it." |
| 10. |
When Jesus heard it, he marveled, and said to those who followed, "Most certainly I tell you, I haven't found so great a faith, not even in Israel. |
| 11. |
I tell you that many will come from the east and the west, and will sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the Kingdom of Heaven, |
| 12. |
but the children of the Kingdom will be thrown out into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth." |
| 13. |
Jesus said to the centurion, "Go your way. Let it be done for you as you have believed." His servant was healed in that hour. |
| 14. |
When Jesus came into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother lying sick with a fever. |
| 15. |
He touched her hand, and the fever left her. She got up and served him. |
| 16. |
When evening came, they brought to him many possessed with demons. He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick; |
| 17. |
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying: "He took our infirmities, and bore our diseases." |
