Matthew 8

1
English · Berean Standard Bible

When Jesus came down from the mountain, large crowds followed Him.

2
English · Berean Standard Bible

Suddenly a leper came and knelt before Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”

3
English · Berean Standard Bible

Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!” And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

4
English · Berean Standard Bible

Then Jesus instructed him, “See that you don’t tell anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the gift prescribed by Moses, as a testimony to them.”

5
English · Berean Standard Bible

When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came and pleaded with Him,

6
English · Berean Standard Bible

“Lord, my servant lies at home, paralyzed and in terrible agony.”

7
English · Berean Standard Bible

“I will go and heal him,” Jesus replied.

8
English · Berean Standard Bible

The centurion answered, “Lord, I am not worthy to have You come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

9
English · Berean Standard Bible

For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell one to go, and he goes, and another to come, and he comes. I tell my servant to do something, and he does it.”

10
English · Berean Standard Bible

When Jesus heard this, He marveled and said to those following Him, “Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith.

11
English · Berean Standard Bible

I say to you that many will come from the east and the west to share the banquet with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.

12
English · Berean Standard Bible

But the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

13
English · Berean Standard Bible

Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go! As you have believed, so will it be done for you.” And his servant was healed at that very hour.

14
English · Berean Standard Bible

When Jesus arrived at Peter’s house, He saw Peter’s mother-in-law sick in bed with a fever.

15
English · Berean Standard Bible

So He touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she got up and began to serve Him.

16
English · Berean Standard Bible

When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to Jesus, and He drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick.

17
English · Berean Standard Bible

This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: “He took up our infirmities and carried our diseases.”

18
English · Berean Standard Bible

When Jesus saw a large crowd around Him, He gave orders to cross to the other side of the sea.

19
English · Berean Standard Bible

And one of the scribes came to Him and said, “Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go.”

20
English · Berean Standard Bible

Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head.”

21
English · Berean Standard Bible

Another of His disciples requested, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”

22
English · Berean Standard Bible

But Jesus told him, “Follow Me, and let the dead bury their own dead.”

23
English · Berean Standard Bible

When He got into the boat, His disciples followed Him.

24
English · Berean Standard Bible

Suddenly a violent storm came up on the sea, so that the boat was engulfed by the waves. But Jesus was sleeping.

25
English · Berean Standard Bible

The disciples went and woke Him, saying, “Lord, save us! We are perishing!”

26
English · Berean Standard Bible

“You of little faith,” Jesus replied, “why are you so afraid?” Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and it was perfectly calm.

27
English · Berean Standard Bible

The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the sea obey Him!”

28
English · Berean Standard Bible

When Jesus arrived on the other side in the region of the Gadarenes, He was met by two demon-possessed men coming from the tombs. They were so violent that no one could pass that way.

29
English · Berean Standard Bible

“What do You want with us, Son of God?” they shouted. “Have You come here to torture us before the appointed time?”

30
English · Berean Standard Bible

In the distance a large herd of pigs was feeding.

31
English · Berean Standard Bible

So the demons begged Jesus, “If You drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs.”

32
English · Berean Standard Bible

“Go!” He told them. So they came out and went into the pigs, and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea and died in the waters.

33
English · Berean Standard Bible

Those tending the pigs ran off into the town and reported all this, including the account of the demon-possessed men.

34
English · Berean Standard Bible

Then the whole town went out to meet Jesus. And when they saw Him, they begged Him to leave their region.
