Matthew 8

NEW JERUSALEM	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 After he had come down from the mountain large crowds fol owed him.	1 When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.
2 Suddenly a man with a virulent skin-disease came up and bowed low in front of him, saying, 'Lord, ifyou are wil ing, you can cleanse me.'	2 And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
3 Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him saying, 'I am willing. Be cleansed.' And his skin-diseasewas cleansed at once.	3 And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
4 Then Jesus said to him, 'Mind you tell no one, but go and show yourself to the priest and make theoffering prescribed by Moses, as evidence to them.'	4 And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
5 When he went into Capernaum a centurion came up and pleaded with him.	5 And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him,
6 'Sir,' he said, 'my servant is lying at home paralysed and in great pain.'	6 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.
7 Jesus said to him, 'I wil come myself and cure him.'	7 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.
8 The centurion replied, 'Sir, I am not worthy to have you under my roof; just give the word and myservant will be cured.	8 The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.
9 For I am under authority myself and have soldiers under me; and I say to one man, "Go," and he goes;to another, "Come here," and he comes; to my servant, "Do this," and he does it.'	9 For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
10 When Jesus heard this he was astonished and said to those following him, 'In truth I tell you, in no onein Israel have I found faith as great as this.	10 When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
11 And I tel you that many will come from east and west and sit down with Abraham and Isaac and Jacobat the feast in the kingdom of Heaven;	11 And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.
12 but the children of the kingdom wil be thrown out into the darkness outside, where there wil beweeping and grinding of teeth.'	12 But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
13 And to the centurion Jesus said, 'Go back, then; let this be done for you, as your faith demands.' Andthe servant was cured at that moment.	13 And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour.
14 And going into Peter's house Jesus found Peter's mother-in-law in bed and feverish.	14 And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever.
15 He touched her hand and the fever left her, and she got up and began to serve him.	15 And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them.
16 That evening they brought him many who were possessed by devils. He drove out the spirits with acommand and cured al who were sick.	16 When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick:
17 This was to fulfil what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah: He himself bore our sicknesses away andcarried our diseases.	17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.
18 When Jesus saw the crowd al about him he gave orders to leave for the other side.	18 Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandment to depart unto the other side.
19 One of the scribes then came up and said to him, 'Master, I wil fol ow you wherever you go.'	19 And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.
20 Jesus said, 'Foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of man has nowhere tolay his head.'	20 And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
21 Another man, one of the disciples, said to him, 'Lord, let me go and bury my father first.'	21 And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
22 But Jesus said, 'Fol ow me, and leave the dead to bury their dead.'	22 But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.
23 Then he got into the boat fol owed by his disciples.	23 And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him.
24 Suddenly a storm broke over the lake, so violent that the boat was being swamped by the waves. Buthe was asleep.	24 And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.
25 So they went to him and woke him saying, 'Save us, Lord, we are lost!'	25 And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish.
26 And he said to them, 'Why are you so frightened, you who have so little faith?' And then he stood upand rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.	26 And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.
27 They were astounded and said, 'Whatever kind of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obeyhim?'	27 But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!
28 When he reached the territory of the Gadarenes on the other side, two demoniacs came towards himout of the tombs -- they were so dangerously violent that nobody could use that path.	28 And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.
29 Suddenly they shouted, 'What do you want with us, Son of God? Have you come here to torture usbefore the time?'	29 And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?
30 Now some distance away there was a large herd of pigs feeding,	30 And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding.
31 and the devils pleaded with Jesus, 'If you drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs.'	31 So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.
32 And he said to them, 'Go then,' and they came out and made for the pigs; and at that the whole herdcharged down the cliff into the lake and perished in the water.	32 And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.
33 The herdsmen ran off and made for the city, where they told the whole story, including what hadhappened to the demoniacs.	33 And they that kept them fled, and went their ways into the city, and told every thing, and what was befallen to the possessed of the devils.
34 Suddenly the whole city set out to meet Jesus; and as soon as they saw him they implored him toleave their neighbourhood.	34 And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart out of their coasts.
