But on hearing this he said, Those who are well have no need of a medical man, but those who are ill.

For which is the simpler, to say, You have forgiveness for your sins; or to say, Get up and go?

And they gave a loud cry, saying, What have we to do with you, you Son of God? Have you come here to give us punishment before the time?

But so that you may see that on earth the Son of man has authority for the forgiveness of sins, (then said he to the man who was ill,) Get up, and take up your bed, and go to your house.

Now there was, some distance away, a great herd of pigs taking their food.

And when Jesus was going from there, he saw a man whose name was Matthew, seated at the place where taxes were taken; and he said to him, Come after me. And he got up and went after him.

And he said to them, Why are you full of fear, O you of little faith? Then he got up and gave orders to the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.

And he got into a boat and went across and came to his town.

And it came about, when he was in the house taking food, that a number of tax-farmers and sinners came and took their places with Jesus and his disciples.

And Jesus said to the captain, Go in peace; as your faith is, so let it be done to you. And the servant was made well in that hour.

And they took to him a man stretched on a bed who had no power of moving; and Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the man who was ill, Son, take heart; you have forgiveness for your sins.

And I say to you that numbers will come from the east and the west, and will take their seats with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven:

And there came a scribe and said to him, Master, I will come after you wherever you go.

And Jesus, having knowledge of what was in their minds, said, Why are your thoughts evil?

And the men were full of wonder, saying, What sort of man is this, that even the winds and the sea do his orders?

Now when Jesus saw a great mass of people about him, he gave an order to go to the other side.

And there came up a great storm in the sea, so that the boat was covered with the waves: but he was sleeping.

And he put his hand on him, saying, It is my pleasure; be clean. And straight away he was made clean.

for he was teaching as one having authority, and not as their scribes.

Matthew 8

And everyone to whom my words come and who does them not, will be like a foolish man who made his house on sand;

Because I myself am a man under authority, having under me fighting men; and 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.

Everyone, then, to whom my words come and who does them, will be like a wise man who made his house on a rock;

And the rain came down and there was a rush of waters and the winds were driving against that house, but it was not moved; because it was based on the rock.

And a leper came and gave him worship, saying, Lord, if it is your pleasure, you have power to make me clean.

And he said to him, I will come and make him well.

And the rain came down and there was a rush of waters and the winds were driving against that house; and it came down and great was its fall.

Saying, Lord, my servant is ill in bed at the house, with no power in his body, and in great pain.

And the captain in answer said, Lord, I am not good enough for you to come under my roof; but only say the word, and my servant will be made well.

And Jesus said to him, See that you say nothing about this to anyone; but go and let the priest see you and make the offering which was ordered by Moses, for a witness to them.
