Matthew 8:1-13

1When 1Jesus came down from the mountain, 2large crowds followed Him. 2And 3a leper came to Him and 45bowed down before Him, and said, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.” 3Jesus stretched out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” And immediately his 6leprosy was cleansed. 4And Jesus said to him, “7See that you tell no one; but 8go, 9show yourself to the priest and present the 10offering that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”

5And 11when 12Jesus entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, imploring Him, 6and saying, “13Lord, my 14servant is 15lying 16paralyzed at home, fearfully tormented.” 7Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.” 8But the centurion said, “17Lord, I am not worthy for You to come under my roof, but just 18say the word, and my 19servant will be healed. 9For I also am a man under 20authority, 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.” 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 21with anyone in Israel. 11I say to you that many 22will come from east and west, and 23recline at the table with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven; 12but 24the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into 25the outer darkness; in that place 26there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” 13And Jesus said to the centurion, “Go; 27it shall be done for you 28as you have believed.” And the 29servant was healed that very 30moment.
