Jesus Heals a Man With Leprosy
1When Jesus came down from the mountainside, large crowds followed him. 2A man with leprosy#8:2 The Greek word traditionally translated leprosy was used for various diseases affecting the skin. came and knelt before him and said, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.”
3Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” Immediately he was cleansed of his leprosy. 4Then Jesus said to him, “See that you don’t tell anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the gift Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”
The Faith of the Centurion
5When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking for help. 6“Lord,” he said, “my servant lies at home paralyzed, suffering terribly.”
7Jesus said to him, “Shall I come and heal him?”
8The centurion replied, “Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed. 9For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and that one, ‘Come,’ and he comes. I say to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
10When Jesus heard this, he was amazed and said to those following him, “Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith. 11I say to you that many will come from the east and the west, and will take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. 12But the subjects of the kingdom will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
13Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go! Let it be done just as you believed it would.” And his servant was healed at that moment.
Jesus Heals Many
14When Jesus came into Peter’s house, he saw Peter’s mother-in-law lying in bed with a fever. 15He touched her hand and the fever left her, and she got up and began to wait on him.
16When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to him, and he drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick. 17This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:
“He took up our infirmities
and bore our diseases.”#8:17 Isaiah 53:4 (see Septuagint)
The Cost of Following Jesus
18When Jesus saw the crowd around him, he gave orders to cross to the other side of the lake. 19Then a teacher of the law came to him and said, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.”
20Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”
21Another disciple said to him, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”
22But Jesus told him, “Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead.”
Jesus Calms the Storm
23Then he got into the boat and his disciples followed him. 24Suddenly a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. 25The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Lord, save us! We’re going to drown!”
26He replied, “You of little faith, why are you so afraid?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.
27The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!”
Jesus Restores Two Demon-Possessed Men
28When he arrived at the other side in the region of the Gadarenes,#8:28 Some manuscripts Gergesenes; other manuscripts Gerasenes two demon-possessed men coming from the tombs met him. They were so violent that no one could pass that way. 29“What do you want with us, Son of God?” they shouted. “Have you come here to torture us before the appointed time?”
30Some distance from them a large herd of pigs was feeding. 31The demons begged Jesus, “If you drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs.”
32He said to them, “Go!” So they came out and went into the pigs, and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and died in the water. 33Those tending the pigs ran off, went into the town and reported all this, including what had happened to the demon-possessed men. 34Then the whole town went out to meet Jesus. And when they saw him, they pleaded with him to leave their region.

馬太福音 8

治好痲風病人(可1:40~44;路5:12~14)
1耶穌下了山,許多人跟隨著他。2有一個患痲風的人前來向他跪拜,說:“主啊!如果你肯,必能使我潔淨。”3耶穌伸手摸他,說:“我肯,你潔淨了吧!”他的痲風立刻潔淨了。4耶穌對他說:“你千萬不可告訴別人,只要去給祭司檢查,並且照著摩西所規定的獻上供物,好向大家作證。”
治好百夫長的僕人(路7:1~10)
5耶穌到了迦百農,有一個百夫長前來懇求他,6說:“主啊!我的僕人癱瘓了,躺在家裡非常痛苦。”7耶穌對他說:“我去醫治他。”8百夫長回答:“主啊,要你到舍下來,實在不敢當。只要你說一句話,我的僕人就必好了。9我自己是在別人的權下,也有兵在我以下;我對這個說‘去!’他就去,對另一個說‘來!’他就來;對僕人說‘作這個!’他就作。”10耶穌聽了,就很驚奇,對跟隨的人說:“我實在告訴你們,這樣的信心,我在以色列中從來沒有見過。11我告訴你們,必有許多人從東從西來到,和亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各在天國裡一起吃飯。12但本來要承受天國的人,反被丟在外面黑暗裡,在那裡必要哀哭切齒。”13於是耶穌對百夫長說:“回去吧!事情必照你所信的給你成就。”他的僕人就在那時痊愈了。
治病趕鬼(可1:29~34;路4:38~41)
14耶穌來到彼得家裡,看見他的岳母發燒,病在床上。15耶穌一摸她的手,熱就退了;她就起來服事耶穌。16到了黃昏,有些人帶了許多被鬼附的人來見耶穌,他只用一句話就把污靈趕出去,並且醫好了所有患病的人。17這樣正應驗了以賽亞先知所說的:
“他親自除去我們的軟弱,
擔當我們的疾病。”
跟從耶穌的要求(路9:57~60)
18耶穌看見許多人圍著他,就吩咐往對岸去。19有一位經學家前來對他說:“老師,你無論往哪裡去,我都要跟從你!”20耶穌回答:“狐狸有洞,天空的飛鳥有窩,但人子卻沒有棲身#“棲身”原文作“枕頭”的地方。”21另一個門徒對他說:“主啊!請准我先回去安葬我的父親吧。”22耶穌對他說:“跟從我吧!讓死人去埋葬他們的死人。”
平靜風浪(可4:36~41;路8:22~25)
23耶穌上了船,門徒跟著他。24忽然海上起了狂風,甚至船都被波濤掩蓋,但耶穌卻睡著了。25他們走來把他叫醒,說:“主啊!救命啊!我們沒命了!”26耶穌卻對他們說:“小信的人哪!為甚麼害怕呢?”他就起來斥責風和海,風浪就完全平靜了。27眾人都驚奇,說:“這是甚麼人,連風和海也聽從他?”
治好鬼附的人(可5:1~17;路8:26~37)
28耶穌過到對岸加大拉人的地區,遇見兩個被鬼附著的人從墓地出來;他們十分兇暴,甚至沒有人敢從那條路經過。29他們喊叫:“ 神的兒子,我們跟你有甚麼關係呢?時候還沒有到,你就來這裡叫我們受苦嗎?”30那時遠遠有一大群豬正在吃東西。31那些鬼就求耶穌,說:“如果要趕我們出來,就准我們進到豬群裡去吧。”32耶穌對他們說:“出去吧!”他們就出來,進了豬群。那一群豬忽然闖下山崖,掉在海裡淹死了。33放豬的人逃進城裡,把被鬼附的人的遭遇和一切事情,都報告出來。34全城的居民都出來要見耶穌,看見了他,就求他離開他們的地區。
