1And when he was come down from the mountain , great multitudes followed him . 2And behold , there came to him a leper and worshipped him , saying , Lord , if thou wilt , thou canst make me clean . 3And he stretched forth his hand , and touched him , saying , I will ; be thou made clean . And straightway his leprosy was cleansed . 4And Jesus saith unto him , See thou tell no man ; but go , show thyself to the priest , and offer the gift that Moses commanded , for a testimony unto them . 5And when he was entered into Capernaum , there came unto him a centurion , beseeching him , 6and saying , Lord , my servant lieth in the house sick of the palsy , grievously tormented. 7And he saith unto him , I will come and heal him . 8And the centurion answered and said , Lord , I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof ; but only say the word , and my servant shall be healed . 9For I also am a man under authority , having under myself soldiers : and I say to this one , Go , and he goeth ; and to another , Come , and he cometh ; and to my servant , Do this , and he doeth it . 10And 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 . 11And I say unto 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 : 12but the sons of the kingdom shall be cast forth into the outer darkness : there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth . 13And Jesus said unto the centurion , Go thy way ; as thou hast believed , so be it done unto thee. And the servant was healed in that hour . 14And when Jesus was come into Peter ’s house , he saw his wife’s mother lying sick of a fever . 15And he touched her hand , and the fever left her ; and she arose , and ministered unto him . 16And when even was come , they brought unto him many possessed with demons: and he cast out the spirits with a word , and healed all that were sick : 17that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet , saying , Himself took our infirmities , and bare our diseases .
The Authority of Jesus over Nature
18Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him , he gave commandment to depart unto the other side . 19And there came a scribe , and said unto him , Teacher , I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest . 20And Jesus saith unto him , The foxes have holes , and the birds of the heaven have nests ; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head . 21And another of the disciples said unto him , Lord , suffer me first to go and bury my father . 22But Jesus saith unto him , Follow me ; and leave the dead to bury their own dead . 23And when he was entered into a boat , his disciples followed him . 24And behold , there arose a great tempest in the sea , insomuch that the boat was covered with the waves : but he was asleep . 25And they came to him , and awoke him , saying , Save , Lord ; we perish. 26And 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 . 27And the men marvelled , saying , What manner of man is this , that even the winds and the sea obey him ?
The Authority of Jesus over Demons
28And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gadarenes , there met him two possessed with demons, coming forth out of the tombs , exceeding fierce , so that no man could pass by that way . 29And behold , they cried out , saying , What have we to do with thee, thou Son of God ? art thou come hither to torment us before the time ? 30Now there was afar off from them a herd of many swine feeding . 31And the demons besought him , saying , If thou cast us out , send us away into the herd of swine . 32And he said unto them , Go . And they came out , and went into the swine : and behold , the whole herd rushed down the steep into the sea , and perished in the waters . 33And they that fed them fled , and went away into the city , and told everything , and what was befallen to them that were possessed with demons. 34And behold , all the city came out to meet Jesus : and when they saw him , they besought him that he would depart from their borders .
