Matthew 8 — WBMS
8Verse 1But when Jesus was come down from the hill, much people pursued him [or many companies followed him].Verse 2And lo! a leprous man came, and worshipped him, and said, Lord, if thou wilt, thou mayest make me clean.Verse 3And Jesus held forth the hand, and touched him, and said, I will, be thou made clean. And anon the leprosy of him was cleansed.Verse 4And Jesus said to him, See, say thou to no man; but go, show thee to the priests, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, in witnessing to them.Verse 5And when he had entered into Capernaum, the centurion nighed to him, and prayed him,Verse 6and said, Lord, my child lieth in the house sick on [or in] the palsy, and is evil tormented.Verse 7And Jesus said to him, I shall come, and shall heal him.Verse 8And the centurion answered, and said to him, Lord, I am not worthy, that thou enter under my roof; but only say thou by word, and my child shall be healed.Verse 9For why I am a man ordained under power, and have knights under me; and I say to this, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.Verse 10And Jesus heard these things, and wondered, and said to men that pursued him, Truly I say to you, I found not so great faith in Israel.Verse 11And I say to you, that many shall come from the east and the west, and shall rest with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heavens;Verse 12but the sons of the realm shall be cast out into outer-more [or uttermost] darknesses; there shall be weeping, and grinding of teeth.Verse 13And Jesus said to the centurion, Go, and as thou hast believed, be it done to thee. And the child was healed from that hour.Verse 14And when Jesus was come into the house of Simon Peter, he saw his wife’s mother lying, and shaken [or shaking] with fevers.Verse 15And he touched her hand, and the fever left her; and she rose, and served them.Verse 16And when it was even, they brought to him many that had devils, and he casted out spirits by word, and healed all that were evil-at-ease [or having sickness];Verse 17that it were fulfilled, that was said by Isaiah, the prophet, saying, He took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.Verse 18And Jesus saw much people about him, and bade [or commanded]his disciples[to] go over the water.Verse 19And a scribe nighed, and said to him, Master, I shall pursue thee, whither ever thou shalt go.Verse 20And Jesus said to him, Foxes have dens [or burrows], and birds of the air have nests, but man’s Son hath not wherein to rest his head [or where he shall rest his head].Verse 21Another of his disciples said to him, Lord, suffer me to go first, and bury my father.Verse 22But Jesus said to him, Pursue thou me, and let the dead men bury their dead men.Verse 23And when he was gone up into a little ship, his disciples pursued him.Verse 24And lo! a great stirring was made in the sea, so that the ship was covered with waves; but he slept.Verse 25And his disciples came to him, and raised him, and said, Lord, save us; we perish.Verse 26And Jesus said to them, What be ye of little faith aghast [or afeared]? Then he rose [up], and commanded to the winds and the sea, and a great peaceableness was made.Verse 27And men wondered, and said, What manner man is this, for the winds and the sea obey to him?Verse 28And when he was come over the water into the country of men of Gergesenes, two men met him, that had devils, and came out of graves, full mad, [or going out from burials, full fierce, or wicked], so that no man might go by that way.Verse 29And lo! they cried, and said, What to us and to thee, Jesus, the Son of God? art thou come hither before the time to torment us?Verse 30And not far from them was a flock of many swine [or a drove of many hogs] pasturing.Verse 31And the devils prayed him, and said, If thou castest out us from hence, send us into the drove of swine [or hogs].Verse 32And he said to them, Go ye. And they went out, and went into the swine [or the hogs]; and lo! in a great rush all the drove went headlong into the sea, and they were dead in the waters.Verse 33And the herders fled away, and came into the city, and told all these things, and of them that had the fiends [or the devils].Verse 34And lo! all the city went out to meet Jesus; and when they had seen him, they prayed [him], that he would pass from their coasts.
