Godbey - Matthew - 8

8:1  And many multitudes followed Him, coming down from the mountain.

8:2  And behold, a leper, having come, continued to worship Him, saying; Lord, if you may be willing, you are able to cleanse me.

8:3  And Jesus, reaching forth His hand, touched him, saying, I am willing; be thou cleansed. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

8:4  And Jesus says to him, See that you may tell no one; but go, show thyself to the priest, and offer the gift which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

8:5  And He having come into Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, entreating Him,

8:6  and saying; Lord, my servant lies in the house paralyzed, terribly tormented.

8:7  And Jesus says to him, Having come I will heal him.

8:8  And the centurion responding said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou mayest come in under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant will be healed.

8:9  For I am also a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my servant, Do this, and he does it.

8:10  And Jesus hearing, was astonished, and said to those following, Truly I say unto you, I did not find so great faith in Israel.

8:11  And I say unto you, that many will come from the east and from the west, and sit up with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of the heavens:

8:12  but the sons of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: and there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

8:13  And Jesus said to the centurion, Go; and let it be done unto thee as thou hast believed. And his servant was healed at that hour.

8:14  And Jesus having come into the house of Peter, saw his mother-in-law prostrated and burning with fever.

8:15  And He touched her hand, and the fever left her; and she arose, and began to minister unto them.

8:16  And it being evening, they brought to Him many demonized people: and He cast out the demons by His word, and healed all the sick;

8:17  in order that the word spoken by Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, saying, He took our infirmities, and carried our sicknesses.

8:18  And Jesus seeing the multitudes about Him, gave command to go away to the other side.

8:19  And one scribe having come, said to Him, Teacher, I will follow thee whithersoever thou mayest go.

8:20  And Jesus says to him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of heaven nests; but the Son of man has not where He may recline His head.

8:21  And another of His disciples said to Him, Lord, permit me first to go away and bury my father.

8:22  And Jesus says to him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.

8:23  And His disciples followed Him, having come into the ship.

8:24  And behold, there was a great storm on the sea, so that the ship was covered by the waves: and He was asleep.

8:25  And the disciples having come, awoke Him, saying, Lord, save us; we are perishing.

8:26  And He says to them, Why are you afraid, O ye of little faith? Then having arisen, He rebuked the wind and the sea; and there was a great calm.

8:27  And the men were astonished, saying, What sort of a man is this, because winds and the sea obey him?

8:28  Two demoniacs met Him, having come to the other side into the country of the Gadarenes, coming out from the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that no one was able to pass through that way.

8:29  And behold, they cried out, saying, What is there to us and thee, O Son of God? have you come hither to torment us before the time?

8:30  And a herd of many swine was feeding a great way from them.

8:31  And the demons continued to intreat him, saying, If you cast us out, permit us to depart into the herd of swine.

8:32  And He said to them, Go. And they having gone out, went away into the herd of swine; and the whole herd rushed down the precipice into the sea, and perished in the waters.

8:33  And the herders fled, and having gone away into the city, proclaimed all things, and those appertaining to the demonized.

8:34  And behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus; and seeing Him, intreated Him, that He should depart from their coasts.
