Matthew 8:1-17
When He had come down from the
mountain, great crowds followed him.
And behold, a leper came and
worshiped him, saying, “Lord, if You
will, You can make me clean.” And
Jesus put out His hand and touched
him, saying, “I am willing; be clean!”
Matthew 8:1-17
And immediately his leprosy was
cleansed. And Jesus said to him,
“See that you tell no one; but go, show
yourself to the priest. And offer the
gift that Moses commanded,
for a testimony to them.”
Matthew 8:1-17
And when Jesus had entered
into Capernaum, a centurion came
to him, beseeching Him, and saying,
“Lord, my son lies at home
paralyzed and grievously tormented.”
And Jesus said to him,
“I will come and heal him.”
Matthew 8:1-17
The centurion answered and said,
“Lord, I am not worthy that You should
come under my roof; but only speak
the word, and my boy will be healed.
For I am a man under authority,
having soldiers under me.
Matthew 8:1-17
And I say to this one, ‘Go!’ and he
goes; and to another, ‘Come!’
And he comes; and to my servant,
‘Do this!’ And he does it.” When Jesus
heard, He marveled and said
to those who followed,
Matthew 8:1-17
“Truly I say to you, I have not found
such great faith, no, not in Israel….”
And Jesus said to the centurion,
“Go. And as you have believed,
so let it be to you.”
And his boy was healed in that hour.
Matthew 8:1-17
And when Jesus had come into
Peter's house, He saw his
mother-in-law laid out and in a fever.
And He touched her hand, and the
fever left her. And she arose
and served them. And evening coming
on, they brought to Him many
Matthew 8:1-17
who had been possessed with
demons. And He cast out the spirits
with a word, and healed all who were
sick so that it might be fulfilled which
was spoken by Isaiah the prophet,
saying, "He took on Himself our
weaknesses and bore our sicknesses."
