Matthew 8:1–9
1When he came down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.↗
2Behold, a leper came to him and worshiped him, saying, “Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean.”↗
3Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying,“I want to. Be made clean.”Immediately his leprosy was cleansed.↗
4Jesus said to him,“See that you tell nobody; but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”↗
5When he came into Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking him for help,↗
6saying, “Lord, my servant lies in the house paralyzed, grievously tormented.”↗
7Jesus said to him,“I will come and heal him.”↗
8The centurion answered, “Lord, I’m not worthy for you to come under my roof. Just say the word, and my servant will be healed.↗
9For I am also a man under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and tell another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and tell my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”↗
