MKJV - Matthew - 8

8:1  When He had come down from the mountain, great crowds followed him.

8:2  And behold, a leper came and worshiped him, saying, Lord, if You will, You can make me clean.

8:3  And Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying, I will; be clean! And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

8:4  And Jesus said to him, See that you tell no one; but go, show yourself to the priest. And offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.

8:5  And when Jesus had entered into Capernaum, a centurion came to him, beseeching Him,

8:6  and saying, Lord, my son lies at home paralyzed and grievously tormented.

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

8:8  The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof; but only speak the word, and my boy will be healed.

8:9  For I am 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  When Jesus heard, He marvelled and said to those who followed, Truly I say to you, I have not found such great faith, no, not in Israel.

8:11  And I say to you that many shall come from the east and the west, and shall sit down with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of Heaven.

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

8:13  And Jesus said to the centurion, Go. And as you have believed, so let it be to you. And his boy was healed in that hour.

8:14  And when Jesus had come into Peter's house, He saw his wife's mother laid out and in a fever.

8:15  And He touched her hand, and the fever left her. And she arose and served them.

8:16  And evening coming on, they brought to Him many who had been possessed with demons. And He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick

8:17  so that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying, "He took on Himself our weaknesses and bore our sicknesses."

8:18  And seeing great crowds, Jesus gave orders to depart to the other side.

8:19  And a certain scribe came and said to him, Master, I will follow You wherever You go.

8:20  And Jesus said to him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of man has nowhere to lay His head.

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

8:22  But Jesus said to him, Follow Me, and let the dead bury their dead.

8:23  And He entering into a boat, His disciples followed Him.

8:24  And behold, a great tempest arose in the sea, so much so that the boat was covered with the waves. But He was asleep.

8:25  And His disciples came to Him and awakened Him, saying, Lord, save us! We perish!

8:26  And He said to them, Why are you afraid, little-faiths? Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.

8:27  But the men marveled, saying, What kind of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!

8:28  And when He had come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, two demon-possessed ones met Him, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that no one might pass by that way.

8:29  And behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with You, Jesus, Son of God? Have You come here to torment us before the time?

8:30  And there was a good way off from them a herd of many swine, feeding.

8:31  And the demons begged Him, saying, If You cast us out, allow us to go away into the herd of swine.

8:32  And He said to them, Go! And when they had 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.

8:33  And those who fed them fled. And going into the city, they told everything, and what had happened to the ones who had been possessed of demons.

8:34  And behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus. And when they saw Him, they begged that He would depart out of their borders.
