8 Now when he had come down from the mountain, large crowds followed him. 2 And behold, a leper, having approached, bowed before him, saying, “Lord, if you are willing, you are able to make me clean.” 3 And having reached out his hand, he touched him, saying, “I am willing. Be clean.” And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. 4 And Jesus says 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.”

5 Now when he had entered into Capernaum, a centurion came to him, begging him 6 and saying, “Lord, my servant has been lying in the house paralyzed, being tormented terribly.” 7 And he says to him, “I, when I have come, will heal him.” 8 And answering, the centurion said, “Lord, I am not worthy that you might enter under my roof, but only speak a word, and my servant will be healed. 9 For I also am a man placed under authority, having soldiers under me, and I say to this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another one, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.” 10 But having heard this, Jesus was amazed and said to the ones following him, “Truly I say to you, I have found such great faith from no one in Israel[fn]. 11 But I tell you that many will come from east and west, and they will recline to eat with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of the heavens. 12 But the sons of the kingdom will be thrown out into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and grinding of the teeth.” 13 And Jesus said to the centurion, “Go! As you believed, let it be done for you.” And the servant was healed at that hour.

14 And when Jesus had come into the house of Peter, he saw his mother-in-law having been laid down and being sick with a fever. 15 And he touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she got up and began to serve him. 16 Now evening having come, they brought to him many being possessed by demons, and he cast out the spirits with a word and healed all the ones having sickness, 17 so that might be fulfilled that which had been spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying, “He himself took our weaknesses and bore our diseases.”

18 Now Jesus, having seen a crowd[fn] around him, commanded to depart to the other side. 19 And having approached, a scribe said to him, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.” 20 And Jesus says to him, “The foxes have dens, and the birds of the sky, nests, but the Son of Man does not have a place where he might lay his head.” 21 Now another of the disciples said to him, “Lord, permit me first to go away and to bury my father.” 22 But Jesus says to him, “Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead.”

23 And when he had gotten into a boat, his disciples followed him. 24 And behold, a great storm happened on the sea, so that the boat was covered by the waves. But he was sleeping. 25 And having approached, they woke him, saying, “Lord, save us; we are perishing!” 26 And he says to them, “Why are you cowardly, you of little faith?” Then, having gotten up, he rebuked the winds and the sea, and a great calm happened. 27 But the men marveled, saying, “What sort of man is he, that even the winds and the sea obey him?”

28 And when he had come to the other side, to the region of the Gadarenes[fn], two men met him, being possessed by demons, coming out of the tombs, very violent, so that no one was strong enough to pass through that road. 29 And behold, they cried out, saying, “What to us and to you, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the set time?” 30 Now a herd of many pigs was feeding at a distance from them. 31 But the demons were begging him, saying, “If you cast us out, send us away into the herd of the pigs.” 32 And he said to them, “Go!” And they, having come out, went away into the pigs; and behold, the whole herd rushed down the steep slope into the sea, and they died in the water. 33 Now the ones feeding them ran away and, having gone away to the city, they reported everything, and the things concerning the ones possessed by demons. 34 And behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus. And having seen him, they begged him that he would depart from their region.

Instead of I have found such great faith from no one in Israel, some manuscripts read not even in Israel have I found such great faith.

Instead of a crowd, some manuscripts read large crowds.

Instead of Gadarenes, some manuscripts read Gergesenes, and other manuscripts read Gerasenes.
