1When Jesus came down from the mountain, large crowds followed Him.

2And a leper approached, and bowed low before him, saying, "Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean."

2And a leper came to Him and bowed down before Him, and said, "Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean."

3He stretched out his hand and touched him saying, "I am willing. Be clean!" Immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

3Jesus stretched out His hand and touched him, saying, "I am willing; be cleansed." And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

4Then Jesus said to him, "See that you do not speak to anyone, but go, show yourself to a priest, and bring the offering that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them."

5When he entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him asking for help:

5And when Jesus entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, imploring Him,

6"Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, in terrible anguish."

6and saying, "Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, fearfully tormented."

7Jesus said to him, "I will come and heal him."

7Jesus said to him, "I will come and heal him."

8But the centurion replied, "Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof. Instead, just say the word and my servant will be healed.

8But the centurion said, "Lord, I am not worthy for You to come under my roof, but just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

9For I too am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I say to this one, 'Go' and he goes, and to another 'Come' and he comes, and to my slave 'Do this' and he does it."

9"For I also am a man under authority, with soldiers under me; and I say to this one, 'Go!' and he goes, and to another, 'Come!' and he comes, and to my slave, 'Do this!' and he does it."

10When Jesus heard this he was amazed and said to those who followed him, "I tell you the truth, I have not found such faith in anyone in Israel!

10Now when Jesus heard this, He marveled and said to those who were following, "Truly I say to you, I have not found such great faith with anyone in Israel.

11I tell you, many will come from the east and west to share the banquet with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven,

11"I say to you that many will come from east and west, and recline at the table with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven;

12but the sons of the kingdom will be thrown out into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."

12but the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."

13Then Jesus said to the centurion, "Go; just as you believed, it will be done for you." And the servant was healed at that hour.

13And Jesus said to the centurion, "Go; it shall be done for you as you have believed." And the servant was healed that very moment.

30A large herd of pigs was feeding some distance from them.

30Now there was a herd of many swine feeding at a distance from them.

31Then the demons begged him, "If you drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs."

31The demons began to entreat Him, saying, "If You are going to cast us out, send us into the herd of swine."

32And he said, "Go!" So they came out and went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep slope into the lake and drowned in the water.

32And He said to them, "Go!" And they came out and went into the swine, and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea and perished in the waters.

33The herdsmen ran off, went into the town, and told everything that had happened to the demon-possessed men.

33The herdsmen ran away, and went to the city and reported everything, including what had happened to the demoniacs.

34Then the entire town came out to meet Jesus. And when they saw him, they begged him to leave their region.

34And behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus; and when they saw Him, they implored Him to leave their region.
