The Good News According to Mattityahu, Chapter 8
{8:1} When he came down from the mountain, great multitudes followed
him. {8:2} Behold, a leper came to him and worshiped him, saying,
"Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean."
{8:3} Yeshua stretched out his hand, and touched him, saying, "I
want to. Be made clean." Immediately his leprosy was cleansed. {8:4}
Yeshua said to him, "See that you tell nobody, but go, show yourself
to the [1>]Kohen[<1], and offer the gift that Moshe commanded, as a
testimony to them."
{8:5} When he came into Kafar-Nachum, a centurion came to him,
asking him, {8:6} and saying, "Lord, my servant lies in the house
paralyzed, grievously tormented."
{8:7} Yeshua said to him, "I will come and heal him."
{8:8} The centurion answered, "Lord, I'm not worthy for you to come
under my roof. Just say the word, and my servant will be healed. {8:9}
For I am also a man under authority, having under myself soldiers. I
tell this one, 'Go,' and he goes; and to another, 'Come,' and he
comes; and to my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it."
{8:10} When Yeshua heard it, he marveled, and said to those who
followed, "Most assuredly I tell you, I haven't found so great a
faith, not even in Yisra'el. {8:11} I tell you that many will come
from the east and the west, and will sit down with Avraham, Yitzchak,
and Ya`akov in the Kingdom of Heaven, {8:12} but the sons of the
kingdom will be thrown out into the outer darkness. There will be
weeping and the gnashing of teeth." {8:13} Yeshua said to the
centurion, "Go your way. Let it be done for you as you as you have
believed." His servant was healed in that hour.
{8:14} When Yeshua came into Rock's house, he saw his wife's mother
lying sick of a fever. {8:15} He touched her hand, and the fever left
her. She got up and served him. {8:16} When evening came, they brought
to him many possessed with demons. He cast out the spirits with a
word, and healed all who were sick; {8:17} that it might be fulfilled
which was spoken through Yesha`yahu the prophet, saying: "He took our
infirmities, and bore our diseases." {8:18} Now when Yeshua saw great
multitudes around him, he gave the order to depart to the other side.
{8:19} A [2>]Sofer[<2] came, and said to him, "Teacher, I will
follow you wherever you go."
{8:20} Yeshua said to him, "The foxes have holes, and the birds of
the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head."
{8:21} Another of his [3>]talmidim[<3] said to him, "Lord, allow me
first to go and bury my father."
{8:22} But Yeshua said to him, "Follow me, and leave the dead to
bury their own dead."
{8:23} When he got into a boat, his [4>]talmidim[<4] followed him.
{8:24} Behold, a great tempest arose in the sea, so much that the boat
was covered with the waves, but he was asleep. {8:25} They came to
him, and woke him up, saying, "Save us, Lord! We are dying!"
{8:26} He said to them, "Why are you fearful, oh you of little
faith?" Then he got up, rebuked the wind and the sea, and there was a
great calm.
{8:27} The men marveled, saying, "What kind of man is this, that
even the wind and the sea obey him?"
{8:28} When he came to the other side, into the country of the
Gadarenes, two people possessed by demons met him there, coming out of
the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that nobody could pass by that way.
{8:29} Behold, they cried out, saying, "What do we have to do with
you, Yeshua, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the
time?" {8:30} Now there was a herd of many pigs feeding far away from
them. {8:31} The demons begged him, saying, "If you cast us out,
permit us to go away into the herd of pigs."
{8:32} He said to them, "Go!"
They came out, and went into the herd of pigs: and behold, the whole
herd of pigs rushed down the cliff into the sea, and died in the
water. {8:33} Those who fed them fled, and went away into the city,
and told everything, including what happened to those who were
possessed with demons. {8:34} Behold, all the city came out to meet
Yeshua. When they saw him, they begged that he would depart from their
borders.
