8:1  When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes

followed him.

8:2  And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying,

Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

8:3  And Jesus put forth [his] hand, and touched him, saying, I

will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

8:4  And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy

way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses

commanded, for a testimony unto them.

8:5  And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto

him a centurion, beseeching him,

8:6  And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the

palsy, grievously tormented.

8:7  And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.

8:8  The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that

thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and

my servant shall be healed.

8:9  For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me:

and I say to this [man], Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come,

and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth [it].

8:10  When Jesus heard [it], he marvelled, and said to them that

followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith,

 no, not in Israel.

8:11  And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and

west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in

the kingdom of heaven.

8:12  But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into

outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

8:13  And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou

hast believed, [so] be it done unto thee. And his servant was

healed in the selfsame hour.

8:14  And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his

wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever.

8:15  And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she

arose, and ministered unto them.

8:16  When the even was come, they brought unto him many that

were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with

[his] word, and healed all that were sick:

8:17  That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the

prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare [our]

sicknesses.

8:18  Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave

commandment to depart unto the other side.

8:19  And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I

will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.

8:20  And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the

birds of the air [have] nests; but the Son of man hath not where

to lay [his] head.

8:21  And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer

me first to go and bury my father.

8:22  But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury

their dead.

8:23  And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples

followed him.

8:24  And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea,

insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was

asleep.

8:25  And his disciples came to [him], and awoke him, saying,

Lord, save us: we perish.

8:26  And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little

faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and

there was a great calm.

8:27  But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this,

that even the winds and the sea obey him!

8:28  And when he was come to the other side into the country of

the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming

out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by

that way.

8:29  And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do

with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to

torment us before the time?

8:30  And there was a good way off from them an herd of many

swine feeding.

8:31  So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out,

suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.

8:32  And he said unto them, Go. And when they were 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 they that kept them fled, and went their ways into the

city, and told every thing, and what was befallen to the

possessed of the devils.

8:34  And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and

when they saw him, they besought [him] that he would depart out

of their coasts.
