8:1  When He came down from the mountain, large crowds followed Him.
8:2  And a man with tzara’at came to Him and bowed down before Him, saying, “Master, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”
8:3  Yeshua stretched out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing. Be cleansed.” Immediately his tzara’at was cleansed.
8:4  And Yeshua said to him, “See that you tell no one; but go show yourself to the kohen and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”
8:5  Now when Yeshua came into Capernaum, a centurion came begging for help.
8:6  “Master,” he said, “my servant is lying at home paralyzed, horribly tormented.”
8:7  Yeshua said to him, “I’ll come and heal him.”
8:8  But the centurion said, “Master, I’m not worthy to have You come under my roof. But just say the word and my servant will be healed.
8:9  For I also am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I say to this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this!’ and he does it.”
8:10  Now when Yeshua heard this, He marveled and said to those who were following, “Amen, I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith!
8:11  Moreover, I tell you that many will come from the east and the west, and they will recline at table with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.
8:12  But the sons of the kingdom will be driven out into the outer darkness; in that place will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
8:13  Then Yeshua said to the centurion, “Go. As you have believed, let it be done for you.” And the servant was healed in that same hour.
8:14  And when Yeshua came into Peter’s house, He saw Peter’s mother-in-law lying down, sick with a fever.
8:15  Yeshua touched her hand, and the fever left her. Then she got up and began to take care of Him.
8:16  When evening came, the people brought to Him many who were afflicted by demons. He forced out the spirits with a word and healed all who were sick.
8:17  So was fulfilled what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying, “He Himself took our sicknesses and carried away our diseases.”
8:18  Now when Yeshua saw a crowd around Him, He gave orders to go to the other side of the sea.
8:19  Then a Torah scholar came to Him and said, “Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go.”
8:20  Yeshua tells him, “Foxes have dens and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.”
8:21  Then another of the disciples said, “Master, first let me go and bury my father.”
8:22  But Yeshua tells him, “Follow Me, and let the dead bury their own dead.”
8:23  As He got into the boat, His disciples followed Him.
8:24  Suddenly a great storm arose on the sea, so that the boat was being covered by the waves. But Yeshua kept on sleeping.
8:25  So they came and woke Him up, saying, “Master, save us! We’re perishing!”
8:26  He said to them, “Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?” Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and it became totally calm.
8:27  The men were amazed, saying, “What kind of person is this? Even the winds and the sea obey Him!”
8:28  When He came to the other side, into the region of the Gadarenes, two demon-plagued men coming from the graveyard met Him. They were so violent that no one could pass by that way.
8:29  And they screamed, “What’s between You and us, Ben-Elohim? Have You come here to torment us, before the appointed time?”
8:30  Now a large herd of pigs was feeding some distance away from them.
8:31  The demons kept begging Him, “If You drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs.”
8:32  And He told them, “Go!” So they came out and went into the pigs, and the whole herd rushed down the cliff into the sea and drowned.
8:33  The herdsmen ran away, went into the town, and told everything, including what had happened to the demon-plagued men.
8:34  The whole town came out to meet Yeshua. And when they saw him, they begged Him to leave their region.
