8:1-4
"When He had come down
from the mountain, great multitudes followed Him. And behold, a leper came and worshiped Him, saying, 'Lord, if You are willing, You can make
me clean.' Then Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying, 'I am
willing; be cleansed.' Immediately his leprosy was cleansed. And Jesus
said to him, 'See that you tell no one; but go your way, show yourself
to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony
to them.'"

"Now when Jesus had
entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, pleading with Him, saying,
'Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, dreadfully tormented.'
And Jesus said to him, 'I will come and heal him.' The centurion
answered and said, 'Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my
roof. But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed. For I also
am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. 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.' When Jesus heard it, He marveled,
and said to those who followed, 'Assuredly, I say to you, I have not
found such great faith, not even in Israel! And I say to you that many
will come from east and west, and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and
Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. But the sons of the kingdom will be
cast out into outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of
teeth.' Then Jesus said to the centurion, 'Go your way; and as you have
believed, so let it be done for you.' And his servant was healed that
same hour."

"When evening had come,
they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed. And He cast out the
spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick,; that it might

'He Himself took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses.'"

"Then a certain scribe
came and said to Him, 'Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go.' And
Jesus said to him, 'Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests,
but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.' Then another of His
disciples said to Him, 'Lord, let me first go and bury my father.' But
Jesus said to him, 'Follow Me, and let the dead bury their own dead.'"

"Now when He got into a
boat, His disciples followed Him. And suddenly a great tempest arose on
the sea, so that the boat was covered with the waves. But He was
asleep. Then His disciples came to Him and awoke Him, saying, 'Lord,
save us! We are perishing!' But He said to them, 'Why are you fearful,
O you of little faith?' Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the
sea, and there was a great calm. So the men marveled, saying, 'Who can
this be, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?'"

8:28-34
"When He had come to the other side, to the country of the [NU reads: Gadarenes] Gergesenes,
there met Him two demon-possessed men, coming out of the tombs,
exceedingly fierce, so that no one could pass that way. And suddenly
they cried out, saying, 'What have we to do with You, Jesus, You Son of
God? Have You come here to torment us before the time?' Now a good way
off from them there was a herd of many swine feeding. So the demons
begged Him, saying, 'If You cast us out, [NU reads: send us instead of permit us to go away] into
the herd of swine.' And He said to them, 'Go.' So when they had come
out, they went into the herd of swine. And suddenly the whole herd of
swine ran violently down the steep place into the sea, and perished in
the water. Then those who kept them fled; and they went away into the
city and told everything, including what had happened to the
demon-possessed men. And behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus.
And when they saw Him, they begged Him to depart from their region"
