Weymouth New Testament in Modern Speech, Matthew

Bible. Matthew
008:004 and Jesus said to him, "Be careful to tell no one, but go
and show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift which Moses
appointed as evidence for them."
008:005 After His entry into Capernaum a Captain came to Him,
and entreated Him.
008:006 "Sir," he said, "my servant at home is lying ill with paralysis,
and is suffering great pain."
008:007 "I will come and cure him," said Jesus.
008:008 "Sir," replied the Captain, "I am not a fit person to receive
you under my roof: merely say the word, and my servant
will be cured.
008:009 For I myself am also under authority, and have soldiers under me.
To one I say `Go,' and he goes, to another `Come,' and he comes,
and to my slave `Do this or that,' and he does it."
008:010 Jesus listened to this reply, and was astonished, and said
to the people following Him, "I solemnly tell you that in no
Israelite have I found faith as great as this.
008:011 And I tell you that many will come from the east and from
the west and will recline at table with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob
in the Kingdom of the Heavens,
008:012 while the natural heirs of the Kingdom will be driven out
into the darkness outside: there will be the weeping aloud
and the gnashing of teeth."
008:013 And Jesus said to the Captain, "Go, and just as you have believed,
so be it for you." And the servant recovered precisely
at that time.
008:014 After this Jesus went to the house of Peter, whose mother-in-law
he found ill in bed with fever.
008:015 He touched her hand and the fever left her: and then she rose
and waited upon Him.
008:016 In the evening many demoniacs were brought to Him, and with
a word He expelled the demons; and He cured all the sick,
008:017 in order that this prediction of the Prophet Isaiah might
be fulfilled, "He took on Him our weaknesses, and bore
the burden of our diseases."
008:018 Seeing great crowds about Him Jesus had given directions
to cross to the other side of the Lake,
008:019 when a Scribe came and said to Him, "Teacher, I will follow
you wherever you go."
008:020 "Foxes have holes," replied Jesus, "and birds have nests;
but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head."
008:021 Another of the disciples said to Him, "Sir, allow me first to go
and bury my father."
008:022 "Follow me," said Jesus, "and leave the dead to bury
their own dead."
008:023 Then He went on board a fishing-boat, and His disciples followed Him.
008:024 But suddenly there arose a great storm on the Lake, so that
the waves threatened to engulf the boat; but He was asleep.
008:025 So they came and woke Him, crying, "Master, save us,
we are drowning!"
