Chapter 8

1

When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.

2

And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
wilt Mark 1:40, Luke 5:12

3

And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

4

And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
See Matt 9:30, Mark 5:43, Luke 5:14
Moses Lev 14:3, Luke 5:14

5

And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him,
Capernaum Luke 7:1

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.
am not worthy Luke 15:19
healed Exod 15:26, Deut 32:39, Psa 33:9, Psa 103:3, Psa 107:20, Jer 17:14

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 shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.
many Isa 2:2, Mal 1:11, Luke 13:29, Acts 10:45, Acts 11:18, Acts 14:27, Rom 15:9, Eph 3:6, Rev 5:9, Rev 7:9, Rev 14:6

12

But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
children Matt 21:43
cast Matt 22:13, Matt 24:51, Matt 25:30, Luke 13:28, 2nd Pet 2:17, Jude 13

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.
house Mark 1:29, Luke 4:38
his wife's 1st Cor 9:5

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:
even Mark 1:32, Luke 4:40

17

That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.
Himself Isa 53:4

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.
follow Luke 9:57

20

And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
where Psa 22:6, John 1:10,11

21

And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
another Luke 9:59
suffer 1st Kings 19:20

22

But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.
dead Eph 2:1

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.
tempest Mark 4:37, Luke 8:23

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.
O ye Matt 6:30, Matt 14:31, Matt 16:8, Luke 12:28
rebuked Job 38:8-11, Psa 65:7, Psa 89:9, Psa 93:4, Psa 104:3, Psa 107:29, Prov 30:4, Nahum 1:4, Matt 14:32

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.
Gergesenes Mark 5:1

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?
torment Matt 25:41, 2nd Pet 2:4, Jude 6

30

And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding.
swine Deut 14:8

31

So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.
besought Phil 2:10

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.
besought Deut 5:25, 1st Kings 17:18, Luke 5:8, Acts 16:39
