Matthew - ch 8 v 1 - 20
- And when he came down from the mount, great multitudes did follow him,
- and lo, a leper having come, was bowing to him, saying, `Sir, if thou art willing, thou art able to cleanse me;'
- and having stretched forth the hand, Jesus touched him, saying, `I will, be thou cleansed,' and immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
- And Jesus saith to him, `See, thou mayest tell no one, but go, thyself shew to the priest, and bring the gift that Moses commanded for a testimony to them.'
- And Jesus having entered into Capernaum, there came to him a centurion calling upon him,
- and saying, `Sir, my young man hath been laid in the house a paralytic, fearfully afflicted,'
- and Jesus saith to him, `I, having come, will heal him.'
- And the centurion answering said, `Sir, I am not worthy that thou mayest enter under my roof, but only say a word, and my servant shall be healed;
- for I also am a man under authority, having under myself soldiers, and I say to this one, Go, and he goeth, and to another, Be coming, and he cometh, and to my servant, Do this, and he doth `it'.'
- And Jesus having heard, did wonder, and said to those following, `Verily I say to you, not even in Israel so great faith have I found;
- and I say to you, that many from east and west shall come and recline (at meat) with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the reign of the heavens,
- but the sons of the reign shall be cast forth to the outer darkness -- there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.'
- And Jesus said to the centurion, `Go, and as thou didst believe let it be to thee;' and his young man was healed in that hour.
- And Jesus having come into the house of Peter, saw his mother-in-law laid, and fevered,
- and he touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she arose, and was ministering to them.
- And evening having come, they brought to him many demoniacs, and he did cast out the spirits with a word, and did heal all who were ill,
- that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying, `Himself took our infirmities, and the sicknesses he did bear.'
- And Jesus having seen great multitudes about him, did command to depart to the other side;
- and a certain scribe having come, said to him, `Teacher, I will follow thee wherever thou mayest go;'
- and Jesus saith to him, `The foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven places of rest, but the Son of Man hath not where he may lay the head.'
