Chapter 8
Matt OrthJBC 8:1  And when Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach came down from the mountain, many multitudes followed him.
Matt OrthJBC 8:2  And--hinei--an ish metzorah (a leper) there was who approached him and fell down before Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, saying, "Adoneinu, if you choose, you can make me tahor (clean)."
Matt OrthJBC 8:3  And, having stretched out his hand, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach touched him, saying, "I am willing. Be made tahor."
Matt OrthJBC 8:4  And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to him, "See that you tell no one, but go and show yourself to the kohen and offer the korban about which Moshe gave mitzva as an edut (testimony) to them."
Matt OrthJBC 8:5  Now when Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach entered into K'far-Nachum, a centurion approached him, begging him
Matt OrthJBC 8:6  and saying, "Adoneinu, my servant has been bedridden in the house, paralyzed, in terrible tza'ar (pain and suffering)."
Matt OrthJBC 8:7  And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to him, "I am coming. I will give him refu'ah (healing)."
Matt OrthJBC 8:8  The centurion answered, "Adoneinu, * I am not worthy that you might come under my roof, but only say the dvar, and my servant will receive the refu'ah (healing).
Matt OrthJBC 8:9  For I also am a man under marut (authority), having soldiers subordinate to myself, 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."
Matt OrthJBC 8:10  And having heard this, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was amazed and said to those who followed him, "Omein, I say to you, in no one in Yisroel have I found such great emunah.
Matt OrthJBC 8:11  And I say to you, that many from the mizrach (east) and the ma'arav (west) will come and will sit bimesibba (reclining) at tish with Avraham and Yitzchak and Ya'akov in the Malchut HaShomayim.
Matt OrthJBC 8:12  But the Bnei HaMalchut will be thrown out into the outer choshech (darkness), where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth."
Matt OrthJBC 8:13  And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to the centurion, "Go! According to your bittachon (trust), your emunah (faith), let it be for you." And his servant was given refu'ah (healing) punkt (exactly) at that hour.
Matt OrthJBC 8:14  When Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach entered the bais (house) of Kefa, he saw the chamot (mother-in-law, shviger) bedridden and fever-stricken.
Matt OrthJBC 8:15  Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach touched her hand, and the fever left her. She then began functioning as his mesharetet (servant, minister), serving Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.
Matt OrthJBC 8:16  And when erev (evening) had come, they brought to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach many possessed by shedim (evil spirits, demons), and he cast out the shedim with a dvar, and all the cholim Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach healed.
Matt OrthJBC 8:17  Thus was fulfilled what was spoken by Yeshayah the Navi, saying, ACHEN CHOLAYEINU HU NASAH UMACHOVEINU S'VALAM ("Surely he took up our sicknesses and he carried away our sorrows," YESHAYAH 53:4).
Matt OrthJBC 8:18  And when Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach saw the crowd around him, he gave orders to go over to the other side. IN THE OLAM HAZEH, THE REBBE, MELECH HAMOSHIACH OF YISROEL REQUIRES TOTAL ALLEGIANCE, WITHOUT WHICH ONE CANNOT BE MEKABEL MOSHIACH
Matt OrthJBC 8:19  A sofer (scribe/Torah-teacher) approached Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach and said, "Rebbe, I will follow you wherever you go."
Matt OrthJBC 8:20  And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to him, "Foxes have holes and the OF HASHOMAYIM (birds of heaven, IYOV 35:11) have nests, but the Ben HaAdam [Moshiach, Daniel 7:13-14] does not have a place where he may lay his head."
Matt OrthJBC 8:21  And another of Moshiach's talmidim said to him, "Adoneinu, allow me first to go and bury my father."
Matt OrthJBC 8:22  But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to him, "Follow me, and permit the mesim (dead ones, spiritually unregenerate ones) to bury their own mesim (dead ones)." REBBE, MELECH HAMOSHIACH THE BAAL MOFET (MIRACLE WORKER)
Matt OrthJBC 8:23  And when he embarked into the sirah (boat), Moshiach's talmidim followed him.
Matt OrthJBC 8:24  And--hinei!--a great storm came up on the lake, so that the sirah (boat) was about to be covered by the waves. REBBE, MELECH HAMOSHIACH: THE NEW YONAH, ASLEEP IN THE SIRAH (BOAT) But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was sleeping.
Matt OrthJBC 8:25  And Moshiach's talmidim approached and aroused him, saying, "Adoneinu, hoshieynu! We are perishing!"
Matt OrthJBC 8:26  And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to them, "Why are you fearful, you ones of little emunah?" REBBE, MELECH HAMOSHIACH SHOWS HIMSELF ADON KOL HA'ARETZ Then, arising, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was great calm.
Matt OrthJBC 8:27  And the men were astonished, saying, "What sort of man is this!? That even the winds and the sea obey him!" REBBE, MELECH HAMOSHIACH CASTS OUT THE SHEDIM
Matt OrthJBC 8:28  And when Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach came to the other side of the lake, in the land of the people of Gadara, he was met by two men possessed by shedim (demons); these men were coming out of the kevarim (tombs) of the burial caves and were so dangerous no one could pass on that road.
Matt OrthJBC 8:29  And--hinei--they screamed, saying, "Mah lanu valach, Ben HaElohim?" ("What to us and to you, Son of G-d?" i.e. What business do you have with us, Son of G-d") "Have you come here to torture us before the time [of the Yom HaDin, the Day of Judgment]?" THE UNCLEAN REJECT THE REBBE, MELECH HAMOSHIACH
Matt OrthJBC 8:30  Now there was feeding far away from them a large herd of chazirim (swine).
Matt OrthJBC 8:31  And the shedim begged Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, saying,"If you cast us out, send us into the herd of chazirim."
Matt OrthJBC 8:32  And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, "Go away!" So the shedim, coming out, went away into the chazirim. And--hinei!--all the herd of chazirim rushed down the bank into the lake, and they perished in the water.
Matt OrthJBC 8:33  And the herdsmen of the chazirim fled, and, having gone away into the town, they told the whole story of what had happened to the men possessed by shedim.
Matt OrthJBC 8:34  And--hinei!--the whole town came out to meet Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, and seeing him, they begged him to depart from their area.
