Jesus Heals a Man with Leprosy
Large crowds followed Jesus as he came down the mountainside.
Large crowds followed Jesus as he came down the mountainside.
Jesus Cleanses a Leper; The Centurion’s Faith
When Jesus came down from the mountain, large crowds followed Him.
When Jesus came down from the mountain, large crowds followed Him.
Suddenly, a man with leprosy approached him and knelt before him. “Lord,” the man said, “if you are willing, you can heal me and make me clean.”
And a leper came to Him and bowed down before Him, and said, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”
Jesus reached out and touched him. “I am willing,” he said. “Be healed!” And instantly the leprosy disappeared.
Jesus stretched out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
And Jesus said to him, “See that you tell no one; but go, show yourself to the priest and present the offering that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”
And when Jesus entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, imploring Him,
and saying, “Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, fearfully tormented.”
But the officer said, “Lord, I am not worthy to have you come into my home. Just say the word from where you are, and my servant will be healed.
But the centurion said, “Lord, I am not worthy for You to come under my roof, but just say the word, and my servant will be healed.
I know this because I am under the authority of my superior officers, and I have authority over my soldiers. I only need to say, ‘Go,’ and they go, or ‘Come,’ and they come. And if I say to my slaves, ‘Do this,’ they do it.”
“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 slave, ‘Do this!’ and he does it.”
When Jesus heard this, he was amazed. Turning to those who were following him, he said, “I tell you the truth, I haven’t seen faith like this in all Israel!
Now when Jesus heard this, He marveled and said to those who were following, “Truly I say to you, I have not found such great faith with anyone in Israel.
And I tell you this, that many Gentiles will come from all over the world — from east and west — and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob at the feast in the Kingdom of Heaven.
“I say to you that many will come from east and west, and recline at the table with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven;
But many Israelites — those for whom the Kingdom was prepared — will be thrown into outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
but the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
Then Jesus said to the Roman officer, “Go back home. Because you believed, it has happened.” And the young servant was healed that same hour.
And Jesus said to the centurion, “Go; it shall be done for you as you have believed.” And the servant was healed that very moment.
Jesus Heals Many People
When Jesus arrived at Peter’s house, Peter’s mother-in-law was sick in bed with a high fever.
Peter’s Mother-in-law and Many Others Healed
When Jesus came into Peter’s home, He saw his mother-in-law lying sick in bed with a fever.
But when Jesus touched her hand, the fever left her. Then she got up and prepared a meal for him.
He touched her hand, and the fever left her; and she got up and waited on Him.
That evening many demon-possessed people were brought to Jesus. He cast out the evil spirits with a simple command, and he healed all the sick.
When evening came, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed; and He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were ill.
This was to fulfill what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet: “HE HIMSELF TOOK OUR INFIRMITIES AND CARRIED AWAY OUR DISEASES.”
The Cost of Following Jesus
When Jesus saw the crowd around him, he instructed his disciples to cross to the other side of the lake.
Discipleship Tested
Now when Jesus saw a crowd around Him, He gave orders to depart to the other side of the sea.
Then one of the teachers of religious law said to him, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.”
Then a scribe came and said to Him, “Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go.”
Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.”
Another of his disciples said, “Lord, first let me return home and bury my father.”
Another of the disciples said to Him, “Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father.”
But Jesus said to him, “Follow Me, and allow the dead to bury their own dead.”
Jesus Calms the Storm
Then Jesus got into the boat and started across the lake with his disciples.
When He got into the boat, His disciples followed Him.
Suddenly, a fierce storm struck the lake, with waves breaking into the boat. But Jesus was sleeping.
And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being covered with the waves; but Jesus Himself was asleep.
The disciples went and woke him up, shouting, “Lord, save us! We’re going to drown!”
And they came to Him and woke Him, saying, “Save us, Lord; we are perishing!”
Jesus responded, “Why are you afraid? You have so little faith!” Then he got up and rebuked the wind and waves, and suddenly there was a great calm.
He said to them, “Why are you afraid, you men of little faith?” Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and it became perfectly calm.
The disciples were amazed. “Who is this man?” they asked. “Even the winds and waves obey him!”
The men were amazed, and said, “What kind of a man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?”
Jesus Casts Out Demons
When He came to the other side into the country of the Gadarenes, two men who were demon-possessed met Him as they were coming out of the tombs. They were so extremely violent that no one could pass by that way.
They began screaming at him, “Why are you interfering with us, Son of God? Have you come here to torture us before God’s appointed time?”
And they cried out, saying, “What business do we have with each other, Son of God? Have You come here to torment us before the time?”
There happened to be a large herd of pigs feeding in the distance.
Now there was a herd of many swine feeding at a distance from them.
So the demons begged, “If you cast us out, send us into that herd of pigs.”
The demons began to entreat Him, saying, “If You are going to cast us out, send us into the herd of swine.”
“All right, go!” Jesus commanded them. So the demons came out of the men and entered the pigs, and the whole herd plunged down the steep hillside into the lake and drowned in the water.
And He said to them, “Go!” And they came out and went into the swine, and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea and perished in the waters.
The herdsmen fled to the nearby town, telling everyone what happened to the demon-possessed men.
The herdsmen ran away, and went to the city and reported everything, including what had happened to the demoniacs.
