Matthew Chapter 8
Christ cleanses the leper, heals the centurion's servant, Peter's
mother-in-law, and many others: he stills the storm at sea, drives the
devils out of two men possessed, and suffers them to go into the swine.
8:1. And when he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes
followed him:
8:2. And behold a leper came and adored him, saying: Lord, if thou wilt,
thou canst make me clean.
8:3. And Jesus stretching forth his hand, touched him, saying: I will,
be thou made clean. And forthwith his leprosy was cleansed.
8:4. And Jesus saith to him: See thou tell no man: but go, shew thyself
to the priest, and offer the gift which Moses commanded, for a testimony
unto them.
8:5. And when he had entered into Capharnaum, there came to him a
centurion, beseeching him,
8:6. And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, and
is grievously tormented.
8:7. And Jesus saith to him: I will come and heal him.
8:8. And the centurion, making answer, said: Lord, I am not worthy that

8:9. For I also am a man subject to authority, having under me soldiers;

and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.

8:11. And I say to 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:
8:12. But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into the
exterior darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
8:13. And Jesus said to the centurion: Go, and as thou hast believed, so
be it done to thee. And the servant was healed at the same hour.
8:14. And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's
mother lying, and sick of a fever;
8:15. And he touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she arose and
ministered to them.
8:16. And when evening was come, they brought to him many that were
possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word: and
all that were sick he healed:
8:17. That it might be fulfilled, which was spoken by the prophet
