1611 into Capernaum, there came unto him a Centurion, beseeching him,

6 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.

7 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come, and heal him.

8 The Centurion answered, and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.

9 For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, 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 it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no not in Israel.

11 And I say unto you, that many shali come from the East and West, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the king. dom of heaven:

12 But the children of the king. dom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

13 And Jesus said unto the Centurion, Go thy way, and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour. 14

And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever;

15 And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them. 16 *When the Even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick,

17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the Prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.

18 Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandment to depart unto the other side.

19 And a certain Scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.

And the centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not 2 worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but only say 3 the word, and my servant 9 shall be healed. For I also am a man under authority, having under myself soldiers: and I say to this one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do 10 this, and he doeth it.

22 But Jesus said unto him, Follow me, and let the dead bury their dead. 23 And when he was entered into a ship, his Disciples followed him. 24 And behold, there arose a great tempest in the Sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.

25 And his Disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish.

26 And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the Sea, and there was a great calm.

27 But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the Sea obey him? 28 *And when he was come to the other side, into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way. 29 And behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus thou son of God? Art thou come hither to torment us before the time?

30 And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine, feeding.

31 So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine. 32 And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the Sea, and perished in the waters. 33 And they that kept them, fled, and went their ways into the city, and told every thing, and what was befallen to the possessed of the devils. 34 And behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart out of their coasts.

4 And Jesus knowing their thoughts, said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?

5 For whether is easier to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee: or to say, Arise, and walk?

21 For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.

22 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort, thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.)

36But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, *as sheep having no shepherd.

38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.
