1 Large crowds followed Jesus as he came down the mountainside.
1
But when Jesus was come down from the hill, much people followed him [many companies followed him].
2 Suddenly, a man with leprosy approached him and knelt before him. “Lord,” the man said, “if you are willing, you can heal me and make me clean.”
2
And lo! a leprous man came, and worshipped him, and said [saying], Lord, if thou wilt, thou mayest make me clean.
3 Jesus reached out and touched him. “I am willing,” he said. “Be healed!” And instantly the leprosy disappeared.
3
And Jesus held forth the hand, and touched him, and said [saying], I will, be thou made clean. And at once [And anon] the leprosy of him was cleansed.
4 Then Jesus said to him, “Don’t tell anyone about this. Instead, go to the priest and let him examine you. Take along the offering required in the law of Moses for those who have been healed of leprosy. This will be a public testimony that you have been cleansed.”
4
And Jesus said to him [And Jesus saith to him], See, say thou to no man; but go, show thee to the priests, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, in witnessing to them.
5 When Jesus returned to Capernaum, a Roman officer came and pleaded with him,
5
And when he had entered into Capernaum, the centurion approached to him, and prayed him, [Soothly when he entered into Capernaum, (the) centurion nighed to him, praying him,]
6 “Lord, my young servant lies in bed, paralyzed and in terrible pain.”
6
and said, Lord, my child lieth in the house sick on the palsy, and is evil tormented. [and saying, Lord, my child lieth in the house sick in palsy, and is evil tormented.]
7 Jesus said, “I will come and heal him.”
7
And Jesus said to him [And Jesus saith to him], I shall come, and shall heal him.
8 But the officer said, “Lord, I am not worthy to have you come into my home. Just say the word from where you are, and my servant will be healed.
8
And the centurion answered, and said to him, Lord, I am not worthy, that thou enter under my roof; but only say thou by word [but only say by word], and my child shall be healed.
9 I know this because I am under the authority of my superior officers, and I have authority over my soldiers. I only need to say, ‘Go,’ and they go, or ‘Come,’ and they come. And if I say to my slaves, ‘Do this,’ they do it.”
9
For why I am a man ordained under power, and have knights under me [having under me knights]; and I say to this, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
10 When Jesus heard this, he was amazed. Turning to those who were following him, he said, “I tell you the truth, I haven’t seen faith like this in all Israel!
10
And Jesus heard these things, and wondered, and said to men following him, Truly I say to you, I found not so great faith in Israel.
11 And I tell you this, that many Gentiles will come from all over the world—from east and west—and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob at the feast in the Kingdom of Heaven.
11
And I say to you, that many shall come from the east and the west [that many shall come from the east and west], and shall rest with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heavens;
12 But many Israelites—those for whom the Kingdom was prepared—will be thrown into outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
12
but the sons of the realm shall be cast out into outer-more darknesses; there shall be weeping, and grinding of teeth. [forsooth the sons of the realm shall be cast into uttermost darknesses; there shall be weeping, and beating together of teeth.]
13 Then Jesus said to the Roman officer, “Go back home. Because you believed, it has happened.” And the young servant was healed that same hour.
13
And Jesus said to the centurion, Go, and as thou hast believed, be it done to thee. And the child was healed from that hour.
14 When Jesus arrived at Peter’s house, Peter’s mother-in-law was sick in bed with a high fever.
14
And when Jesus was come into the house of Simon Peter, he saw his wife's mother lying, and shaken with fevers [and shaking with the fevers].
15 But when Jesus touched her hand, the fever left her. Then she got up and prepared a meal for him.
15
And he touched her hand, and the fever left her; and she rose, and served [to] them.
16 That evening many demon-possessed people were brought to Jesus. He cast out the evil spirits with a simple command, and he healed all the sick.
16
And when it was even, they brought to him many that had devils, and he casted out spirits by word, and healed all that were evil-at-ease; [+Soothly when the evening was made, they brought to him many having devils, and he cast out spirits by word, and healed all having sickness;]
17 This fulfilled the word of the Lord through the prophet Isaiah, who said, “He took our sicknesses and removed our diseases.”
17
that it were fulfilled, that was said by Esaias, the prophet [that it should be fulfilled, that thing that was said by Esaias, the prophet], saying, He took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.
18 When Jesus saw the crowd around him, he instructed his disciples to cross to the other side of the lake.
18
And Jesus saw much people about him, and bade his disciples go over the water. [Soothly Jesus seeing many companies about him, commanded his disciples to go over the water.]
19 Then one of the teachers of religious law said to him, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.”
19
And a scribe approached, and said to him [+And a scribe nighing/coming to, said to him], Master, I shall follow thee, whither ever thou shalt go.
20 But Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens to live in, and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place even to lay his head.”
20
And Jesus said to him, Foxes have dens, and birds of the air have nests, but man's Son hath not wherein to rest his head. [And Jesus said to him, Foxes have burrows, or dens, and birds of the air have nests, but man's Son hath not where he shall rest his head.]
21 Another of his disciples said, “Lord, first let me return home and bury my father.”
21
[Soothly] Another of his disciples said to him, Lord, suffer me to go first, and bury my father.
22 But Jesus told him, “Follow me now. Let the spiritually dead bury their own dead. ”
22
But Jesus said to him, Follow thou me, and let the dead men bury their dead men.
23 Then Jesus got into the boat and started across the lake with his disciples.
23
And when he was gone up into a little ship, his disciples followed him.
24 Suddenly, a fierce storm struck the lake, with waves breaking into the boat. But Jesus was sleeping.
24
And lo! a great stirring was made in the sea, so that the ship was covered with waves; but he slept.
25 The disciples went and woke him up, shouting, “Lord, save us! We’re going to drown!”
25
And his disciples came to him, and raised him, and said [And his disciples came nigh to him, and raised him, saying], Lord, save us; we perish.
26 Jesus responded, “Why are you afraid? You have so little faith!” Then he got up and rebuked the wind and waves, and suddenly there was a great calm.
26
And Jesus said to them, What be ye of little faith aghast [+And Jesus saith to them, What be ye of little faith afeared]? Then he rose [up], and commanded to the winds and the sea, and a great peaceableness was made.
27 The disciples were amazed. “Who is this man?” they asked. “Even the winds and waves obey him!”
27
And men wondered, and said [saying], What manner man is this, for the winds and the sea obey to him?
28 When Jesus arrived on the other side of the lake, in the region of the Gadarenes, two men who were possessed by demons met him. They lived in a cemetery and were so violent that no one could go through that area.
28
And when he was come over the water into the country of men of Gergesenes, two men met him, that had devils, and came out of graves, full mad, so that no man might go by that way. [+And when he had come over the water into the country of men of Gergesenes, two men having devils ran to him, going out from burials, full fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.]
29 They began screaming at him, “Why are you interfering with us, Son of God? Have you come here to torture us before God’s appointed time?”
29
And lo! they cried, and said [saying], What to us and to thee, Jesus, the Son of God? art thou come hither before the time to torment us?
30 There happened to be a large herd of pigs feeding in the distance.
30
And not far from them was a flock [a flock, or drove,] of many swine pasturing.
31 So the demons begged, “If you cast us out, send us into that herd of pigs.”
31
And the devils prayed him, and said [saying], If thou castest out us from hence, send us into the drove of swine.
32 “All right, go!” Jesus commanded them. So the demons came out of the men and entered the pigs, and the whole herd plunged down the steep hillside into the lake and drowned in the water.
32
And he said to them, Go ye. And they went out, and went into the swine; and lo! in a great rush all the drove went headlong into the sea, and they were dead in the waters.
33 The herdsmen fled to the nearby town, telling everyone what happened to the demon-possessed men.
33
And the herders fled away, and came into the city, and told all these things, and of them that had the fiends [and of them that had the devils].
34 Then the entire town came out to meet Jesus, but they begged him to go away and leave them alone.
34
And lo! all the city went out to meet Jesus; and when they had seen him, they prayed [him], that he would pass from their coasts.
