Mat 8:6 and saying, Lord, my child has been laid in the house, a paralytic, being grievously tormented.
Mat 8:7 And Jesus said to him, I will come and heal him.
Mat 8:8 And answering, the centurion said, Lord, I am not worthy that You should enter under my roof, but only speak a word and my child will be healed.
Mat 8:9 For I am also a man under authority, having soldiers under myself. And I say to this one, Go; and he goes; and to another, Come; and he comes; and to my slave, Do this; and he does it.
Mat 8:10 And hearing, Jesus marveled, and said to those following, Truly I say to you, Not even in Israel did I find such faith.
Mat 8:11 But I say to you that many will come from east and west, and will recline with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of Heaven,
Mat 8:12 but the sons of the kingdom shall be cast out into the outer darkness. There shall be weeping and gnashing of the teeth.
Mat 8:13 And Jesus said to the centurion, Go, and as you have believed, so let it be to you. And his child was healed in that hour.
Mat 8:14 And coming into the house of Peter, Jesus saw his mother-in-law laid out and burning with fever.

Mat 8:20 And Jesus said to him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere He may lay His head.
Mat 8:21 And another of His disciples said to Him, Lord, allow me first to go away and bury my father.
Mat 8:22 But Jesus said to him, Follow Me, and allow the dead to bury their own dead.
Mat 8:23 And He entering into the boat, His disciples followed Him.
Mat 8:24 And, behold, a great shaking occurred in the sea, so that the boat was covered by the waves; but He was sleeping.
Mat 8:25 And coming near, His disciples aroused Him, saying, Lord, save us! We are perishing.
Mat 8:26 And He said to them, Why are you afraid, little-faiths? Then rising up, He rebuked the winds and the sea. And a great calm occurred.
Mat 8:27 And the men marveled, saying, What kind of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?
Mat 8:28 And He coming to the other side, into the country of the Gergesenes, two demon-possessed ones met Him, coming out of the tombs, very violent, so that no one was able to pass through that way.
Mat 8:29 And, behold! They cried out, saying, What is to us and to You, Jesus, Son of God? Have You come here beforetime to torment us?

Mat 8:32 And He said to them, Go! And coming out, these went away into the herd of pigs. And, behold, all the herd of pigs rushed down the cliff into the sea, and died in the waters.
Mat 8:33 But those who fed them fled, and going into the city, they told all the things of the ones who had been demon-possessed.
Mat 8:34 And, behold, all the city went out to meet with Jesus. And seeing Him, they begged that He move away from their borders.
