Matthew 8 — WMBBE
8Verse 1When he came down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.Verse 2Behold, a leper came to him and worshipped him, saying, “Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean.”Verse 3Yeshua stretched out his hand and touched him, saying,“I want to. Be made clean.”Immediately his leprosy was cleansed.Verse 4Yeshua 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.”Verse 5When he came into Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking him for help,Verse 6saying, “Lord, my servant lies in the house paralysed, grievously tormented.”Verse 7Yeshua said to him,“I will come and heal him.”Verse 8The centurion answered, “Lord, I’m not worthy for you to come under my roof. Just say the word, and my servant will be healed.Verse 9For 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.”Verse 10When Yeshua heard it, he marvelled and said to those who followed,“Most certainly I tell you, I haven’t found so great a faith, not even in Israel.Verse 11I 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,Verse 12but the children of the Kingdom will be thrown out into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”Verse 13Yeshua said to the centurion,“Go your way. Let it be done for you as you have believed.”His servant was healed in that hour.Verse 14When Yeshua came into Peter’s house, he saw his wife’s mother lying sick with a fever.Verse 15He touched her hand, and the fever left her. So she got up and served him.+Verse 16When evening came, they brought to him many possessed with demons. He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick,Verse 17that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying, “He took our infirmities and bore our diseases.”Verse 18Now when Yeshua saw great multitudes around him, he gave the order to depart to the other side.Verse 19A scribe came and said to him, “Rabbi, I will follow you wherever you go.”Verse 20Yeshua said to him,“The foxes have holes and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.”Verse 21Another of his disciples said to him, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.”Verse 22But Yeshua said to him,“Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead.”Verse 23When he got into a boat, his disciples followed him.Verse 24Behold, a violent storm came up on the sea, so much that the boat was covered with the waves; but he was asleep.Verse 25The disciples came to him and woke him up, saying, “Save us, Lord! We are dying!”Verse 26He said to them,“Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?”Then he got up, rebuked the wind and the sea, and there was a great calm.Verse 27The men marvelled, saying, “What kind of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”Verse 28When he came to the other side, into the country of the Gergesenes,+two people possessed by demons met him there, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that nobody could pass that way.Verse 29Behold, they cried out, saying, “What do we have to do with you, Yeshua, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?”Verse 30Now there was a herd of many pigs feeding far away from them.Verse 31The demons begged him, saying, “If you cast us out, permit us to go away into the herd of pigs.”Verse 32He said to them,“Go!”They came out and went into the herd of pigs; and behold, the whole herd of pigs rushed down the cliff into the sea and died in the water.Verse 33Those who fed them fled and went away into the city and told everything, including what happened to those who were possessed with demons.Verse 34Behold, all the city came out to meet Yeshua. When they saw him, they begged that he would depart from their borders.
