NOW when he descended from the mount, great multitudes followed him. ²And lo! a leper came and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. ³And stretching out his hand, Jesus touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And instantly the leprosy was cleansed. ⁴And Jesus said to him, See thou tell no man; but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift which Moses commanded for a testimony unto them.

⁵Then as Jesus was entering into Capernaum, there met him a centurion, intreating him, ⁶and saying, My servant is lying in the house paralytic, terribly tormented with pain. ⁷And Jesus said unto him, I will come and heal him. ⁸And the centurion said, I am not a fit person, that thou shouldest come under my roof: but only speak a word, and my servant be cured. ⁹For I also am a man under authority, having under my command soldiers and I say to this soldier, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. ¹⁰And Jesus hearing him, marvelled, and said to those who were following, Verily I say unto you, not even in Israel have I found so great faith. ¹¹And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and from the west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. ¹²But the children of the kingdom shall be cast into the outer darkness: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. ¹³And Jesus said to the centurion, Go; and as thou hast believed, be it to thee. And his servant was cured at that very hour.

¹⁴And when Jesus was come into the house of Peter, he saw his mother-in-law laid on a bed, and in a fever. ¹⁵And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and waited upon them.

¹⁶And when evening was come, they brought him many possessed by devils: and he cast out the spirits by a word, and all who had illnesses he cured: ¹⁷that it might be fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet, “Himself he took our infirmities, and bore our diseases.”

¹⁸Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave orders to pass to the other side. ¹⁹And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. ²⁰And Jesus said unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where he can lay his head. ²¹And another of his disciples said unto him, Permit me first to go and bury my father. ²²And Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their own dead.

²³And going on board a vessel, his disciples followed him. ²⁴And, behold, there was a great tempest in the sea, so that the vessel was hid by the waves; but he was asleep. ²⁵And his disciples coming, awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we are perishing! ²⁶And he said unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then arising, he issued his mandate to the winds, and to the sea; and there was a great calm. ²⁷And the men marvelled, saying, What a wondrous man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him! ²⁸And when he came to the other side, into the region of the Girgasenes, there met him two demoniacs, coming from the sepulchres; exceeding fierce, so that no person was able to pass by that road. ²⁹And lo! they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither before the time to torment us? ³⁰And at a considerable distance, there was a great herd of swine feeding. ³¹Then the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, permit us to go into the herd of swine. ³²And he said to them, Go. Then they going forth out of him, entered into the herd of swine: and lo! the whole herd of the swine rushed down a precipice into the sea, and perished in the waters. ³³But they who fed them fled, and going away into the city, reported all things, and what had happened to the demoniacs. ³⁴And, behold, all the city came out to meet him: and when they saw him, they besought him to depart from their territories.
