1 When he came down from the mountain, great crowds
followed him. 2 And behold, a leper came and knelt before 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 clean." Immediately
his leprosy was cleansed. 4 And Jesus said to him, "See that you tell no
one; but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that
Moses commanded, as a testimony to them."
5 When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him,
asking for help, 6 and saying, "Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at
home, in terrible distress." 7 And Jesus said to him, "I will come and heal
him." 8 But the centurion answered him, "Lord, I am not worthy to have
you come under my roof. But only say the word, and my servant will be
healed. 9 For I also am a man under authority, with 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 him, he marveled, and said to those who followed him, "Truly, I say
to you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith. 11 I say to you that
many will come from east and west, and sit down with Abraham, Isaac,
and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. 12 But the sons of the kingdom will
be thrown out into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and
gnashing of teeth." 13 Then to the centurion Jesus said, "Go; be it done
for you as you have believed." And his servant was healed at that very
hour.
14 When Jesus come into Peter's house, he saw his mother-in-
law lying sick with a fever. 15 He touched her hand, and the fever left her,
and she rose and served him. 16 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 This was to fulfill what was
spoken by the prophet Isaiah:
"He took up our infirmities
and bore our diseases."
18 Now when Jesus saw great crowds around him, he gave
orders to go over to the other side. 19 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 Another of the disciples said to
him, "Lord, let me first go and bury my father." 22 But Jesus said to him,
"Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead."
23 And when he got into the boat, his disciples followed him. 24
And behold, a great storm arose on the sea, so that the boat was covered
with the waves. But he was asleep. 25 The disciples went and woke him,
saying, "Lord, save us! We are perishing!" 26 And he said to them, "Why
are you afraid, O you of little faith?" Then he rose and rebuked the winds
and the sea, and there was a great calm. 27 And the men marveled, saying,
"What sort of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him?"
