¹ And when he came down from the mountain, there followed him large multitudes.² And 1o! a leper, coming near, began to bow down to him saying, - Lord! if thou be willing, thou canst cleanse me.³ And, stretching forth the hand, he touched him, saying, - I am willing, be cleansed! And, straightway, cleansed was his leprosy.⁴ And Jesus saith unto him, Mind! tell, no one, - but withdraw, thyself, shew to the priest, and offer the gift which Moses directed, for a witness unto them.

⁵ And, when he entered into Capernaum, there came near unto him a centurion, beseeching him,⁶ and saying, Lord! my servant, is laid prostrate in the house, a paralytic, fearfully tortured.⁷ He saith unto him, I, will come and cure him.⁸ But the centurion, answering, said, Lord! I am of no consideration, that, under my roof, thou shouldest enter, - but, only say with a word, and healed shall be my servant.⁹ For, I also, am a man setunder 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 this! and he doeth it.¹⁰ Now Jesus, hearing, marveled, and said to them that followed, - Verily, I say unto you, With no one in Israel, such faith as this, have I found.¹¹ But I say unto you, Many from east and west, will have come, and shall recline with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, in the kingdom of the heavens;¹² Whereas, the sons of the kingdom, shall be cast forth into the darkness outside, - There, will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.¹³ And Jesus said unto the centurion, Withdraw! and, as thou hast believed, be it done for thee. And healed was the servant in that hour.

¹⁴ And Jesus, coming into the house of Peter, saw his mother-in-law laid prostrate and in a fever,¹⁵ and he touched her hand, and the fever left her, - and she arose, and began ministering unto him.¹⁶ But, when, evening, came, they brought unto him many demonized, - and he cast out the spirits with a word, and, all who were sick, he cured:¹⁷ that it might be fulfilled, which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying, - Himself, our weaknesses, took, and, diseases, bare.

¹⁸ Now Jesus, seeing a multitude about him, gave orders to depart unto the other side.¹⁹ And a certain scribe, coming near, said unto him, - Teacher; I will follow thee, whithersoever Thou goest.²⁰ And Jesus saith unto him: The foxes, have, dens, and, the birds of the heavens, nests, - but, the Son of Man, hath not where, his head he may recline.²¹ And, another of the disciples, saith unto him, - Lord! suffer me, first, to depart, and bury my father.²² But, Jesus, saith unto him, - Be following me, and leave, the dead, to bury, their own dead.

²³ And, when he, entered, into a boat, his disciples followed him.²⁴ And 1o! a great squall, arose in the sea, so that, the boat, was being covered, by the waves, - but, he, was sleeping.²⁵ And, coming near, they aroused him, saying, Master! save, we perish!²⁶ And he saith unto them, Why, are ye, fearful, little of faith? Then, aroused, he rebuked the winds and the sea, - and it became a great calm.²⁷ But, the men, marveled, saying, Whence is this one, - that, both the winds and the sea, unto him, give ear?

²⁸ And, when he, came, unto the other side, into the country of the Gadarenes, there met him, two men demonized, out of the tombs, coming forth, - fierce exceedingly, so that no one could pass that way;²⁹ and lo! they cried aloud, saying, What have we in common with thee, O Son of God? Hast thou come hither, before the right time, to torment us?³⁰ Now there was, far from them, a herd of many swine, feeding;³¹ and, the demons, began to beseech him, saying, If thou dost cast us out, send us away, into the herd of swine.³² And he said unto them, Withdraw! So, they, going out, departed into the swine, - and lo! all the herd rushed down the cliff, into the sea, and died in the waters.³³ And, they who were feeding them, fled, - and, departing into the city, reported all things, and what concerned them who had been demonized.³⁴ And lo! all the city, came out to meet Jesus, - and, seeing him, they besought that he would pass on from their bounds.
