And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.\n \n4\u00a0And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.\n \n5\u00a0And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him,\n \n6\u00a0And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.\n \n7\u00a0And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.\n \n8\u00a0The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.\n \n9\u00a0For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.\n \n10\u00a0When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.\n \n11\u00a0And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.\n \n12\u00a0But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.\n \n13\u00a0And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour.\n \n14\u00a0And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever.\n \n15\u00a0And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them.\n \n16\u00a0When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick:\n \n17\u00a0That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.\n \n18\u00a0Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandment to depart unto the other side.\n \n19\u00a0And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.\n \n20\u00a0And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.\n \n21\u00a0And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.\n \n22\u00a0But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.\n \n23\u00a0And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him.\n \n24\u00a0And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.\n \n25\u00a0And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish.\n \n26\u00a0And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.\n \n27\u00a0But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!\n \n28\u00a0And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.\n \n29\u00a0And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?\n \n30\u00a0And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding.\n \n31\u00a0So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.\n \n32\u00a0And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.\n \n33\u00a0And they that kept them fled, and went their ways into the city, and told every thing, and what was befallen to the possessed of the devils.\n \n34\u00a0And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart out of their coasts.","title":"King James Version: Matthew: Matthew Chapter 8","type":"page"}
