escended from the mount, great multitudes followed him.
(2)And lo! a leper came and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt,
thou canst make me clean. (3)And stretching out his hand, Jesus touched
him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And instantly the leprosy was
cleansed. (4)And Jesus said 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.
(5)Then as Jesus was entering into Capernaum, there met him a
centurion, intreating him, (6)and saying, My servant is lying in the
house paralytic, terribly tormented with pain. (7)And Jesus said unto
him, I will come and heal him. (8)And the centurion said, I am not a
fit person, that thou shouldest come under my roof: but only speak a
word, and my servant be cured. (9)For I also am a man under authority,
having under my command soldiers and I say to this soldier, Go, and he
goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this,
and he doeth it. (10)And Jesus hearing him, marvelled, and said to
those who were following, Verily I say unto you, not even in Israel
have I found so great faith. (11)And I say unto you, That many shall
come from the east and from the west, and shall sit down with Abraham,
and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. (12)But the children of
the kingdom shall be cast into the outer darkness: there shall be
wailing and gnashing of teeth. (13)And Jesus said to the centurion, Go;
and as thou hast believed, be it to thee. And his servant was cured at
that very hour.
(14)And when Jesus was come into the house of Peter, he saw his
mother-in-law laid on a bed, and in a fever. (15)And he touched her
hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and waited upon them.
(16)And when evening was come, they brought him many possessed by
devils: and he cast out the spirits by a word, and all who had
illnesses he cured: (17)that it might be fulfilled what was spoken by
the prophet, "Himself he took our infirmities, and bore our diseases."
(18)Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave orders to
pass to the other side. (19)And a certain scribe came, and said unto
him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. (20)And Jesus
said unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have
nests; but the Son of man hath not where he can lay his head. (21)And
another of his disciples said unto him, Permit me first to go and bury
my father. (22)
