- Kapitel 8 -

(Leviticus 14:1–32; Mark 1:40–45; Luke 5:12–16)
1
And when he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him:
2
And behold a leper came and adored him, saying: Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
3
And Jesus stretching forth his hand, touched him, saying: I will, be thou made clean. And forthwith his leprosy was cleansed.
4
And Jesus saith to him: See thou tell no man: but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift which Moses commanded for a testimony unto them.

The Faith of the Centurion

(Luke 7:1–10; John 4:43–54)
5
And when he had entered into Capharnaum, there came to him a centurion, beseeching him,
6
And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, and is grieviously tormented.
7
And Jesus saith to him: I will come and heal him.
8
And the centurion making answer, said: Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldst enter under my roof: but only say the word, and my servant shall be healed.
9
For I also am a man subject to authority, having under me soldiers; 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
And Jesus hearing this, marvelled; and said to them that followed him: Amen I say to you, I have not found so great faith in Israel.
11
And I say to you that many shall come from the east and the west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven:
12
But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into the exterior darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
13
And Jesus said to the centurion: Go, and as thou hast believed, so be it done to thee. And the servant was healed at the same hour.

Jesus Heals at Peter’s House

(Mark 1:29–34; Luke 4:38–41)
14
And when Jesus was come into Peter’s house, he saw his wife’s mother lying, and sick of a fever:
15
And he touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she arose and ministered to them.
16
And when evening was come, they brought to him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word: and all that were sick he healed:
17
That it might be fulfilled, which was spoken by the prophet Isaias, saying: He took our infirmities, and bore our diseases.

The Cost of Discipleship

(Luke 9:57–62; Luke 14:25–33; John 6:59–66)
18
And Jesus seeing great multitudes about him, gave orders to pass over the water.
19
And a certain scribe came and said to him: Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou shalt go.
20
And Jesus saith to him: The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air nests: but the son of man hath not where to lay his head.
21
And another of his disciples said to him: Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
22
But Jesus said to him: Follow me, and let the dead bury their dead.

Jesus Calms the Storm

(Psalm 107:1–43; Mark 4:35–41; Luke 8:22–25)
23
And when he entered into the boat, his disciples followed him:
24
And behold a great tempest arose in the sea, so that the boat was covered with waves, but he was asleep.
25
And they came to him, and awaked him, saying: Lord, save us, we perish.
26
And Jesus saith to them: Why are you fearful, O ye of little faith? Then rising up he commanded the winds, and the sea, and there came a great calm.
27
But the men wondered, saying: What manner of man is this, for the winds and the sea obey him?

The Demons and the Pigs

(Mark 5:1–20; Luke 8:26–39)
28
And when he was come on the other side of the water, into the country of the Gerasens, there met him two that were possessed with devils, coming out of the sepulchres, exceeding fierce, so that none could pass by that way.
29
And behold they cried out, saying: What have we to do with thee, Jesus Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?
30
And there was, not far from them, an herd of many swine feeding.
31
And the devils besought him, saying: If thou cast us out hence, send us into the herd of swine.
32
And he said to them: Go. But they going out went into the swine, and behold the whole herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea: and they perished in the waters.
33
And they that kept them fled: and coming into the city, told every thing, and concerning them that had been possessed by the devils.
34
And behold the whole city went out to meet Jesus, and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart from their coasts.
(Leviticus 14:1–32; Mark 1:40–45; Luke 5:12–16)
1
When he came down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.
2
Behold, a leper came to him and worshiped him, saying, “Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean.”
3
Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I want to. Be made clean.” Immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
4
Jesus said to him, “See that you tell nobody; but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”

The Faith of the Centurion

(Luke 7:1–10; John 4:43–54)
5
When he came into Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking him for help,
6
saying, “Lord, my servant lies in the house paralyzed, grievously tormented.”
7
Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.”
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.
9
For I am also a man under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and tell another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and tell my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
10
When Jesus heard it, he marveled and said to those who followed, “Most certainly I tell you, I haven’t found so great a faith, not even in Israel.
11
I tell you that many will come from the east and the west, and will sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the Kingdom of Heaven,
12
but the children of the Kingdom will be thrown out into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
13
Jesus said to the centurion, “Go your way. Let it be done for you as you have believed.” His servant was healed in that hour.

Jesus Heals at Peter’s House

(Mark 1:29–34; Luke 4:38–41)
14
When Jesus came into Peter’s house, he saw his wife’s mother lying sick with a fever.
15
He touched her hand, and the fever left her. So she got up and served him.(a)
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,
17
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying, “He took our infirmities and bore our diseases.”(b)

The Cost of Discipleship

(Luke 9:57–62; Luke 14:25–33; John 6:59–66)
18
Now when Jesus saw great multitudes around him, he gave the order to depart to the other side.
19
A scribe came and said to him, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.”
20
Jesus 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.”
21
Another of his disciples said to him, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.”
22
But Jesus said to him, “Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead.”

Jesus Calms the Storm

(Psalm 107:1–43; Mark 4:35–41; Luke 8:22–25)
23
When he got into a boat, his disciples followed him.
24
Behold, a violent storm came up on the sea, so much that the boat was covered with the waves; but he was asleep.
25
The disciples came to him and woke him up, saying, “Save us, Lord! We are dying!”
26
He said to them, “Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?” Then he got up, rebuked the wind and the sea, and there was a great calm.
27
The men marveled, saying, “What kind of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”

The Demons and the Pigs

(Mark 5:1–20; Luke 8:26–39)
28
When he came to the other side, into the country of the Gergesenes,(c) two people possessed by demons met him there, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that nobody could pass that way.
29
Behold, they cried out, saying, “What do we have to do with you, Jesus, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?”
30
Now there was a herd of many pigs feeding far away from them.
31
The demons begged him, saying, “If you cast us out, permit us to go away into the herd of pigs.”
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.
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.
34
Behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus. When they saw him, they begged that he would depart from their borders.
