there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'
13 Then Jesus said to the centurion, 'Go! It will be done just as you believed it would.' And his servant was healed at that very hour.
14 When Jesus came into Peter's house, he saw Peter's mother-in-law lying in bed with a fever.
15 He touched her hand and the fever left her, and she got up and began to wait on him.
16 When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to him, and he drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick.
17 This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: 'He took up our infirmities and carried our diseases.'
18 When Jesus saw the crowd around him, he gave orders to cross to the other side of the lake.
19 Then a teacher of the law came to him and said, 'Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.'
20 Jesus replied, 'Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.'
21 Another disciple said to him, 'Lord, first let me go and bury my father.'
22 But Jesus told him, 'Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead.'
23 Then he got into the boat and his disciples followed him.
24 Without warning, a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping.
25 The disciples went and woke him, saying, 'Lord, save us! We're going to drown!'
26 He replied, 'You of little faith, why are you so afraid?' Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.
27 The men were amazed and asked, 'What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!'
28 When he arrived at the other side in the region of the Gadarenes, two demon- possessed men coming from the tombs met him. They were so violent that no one could pass that way.
29 'What do you want with us, Son of God?' they shouted. 'Have you come here to torture us before the appointed time?'
30 Some distance from them a large herd of pigs was feeding.
31 The demons begged Jesus, 'If you drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs.'
32 He said to them, 'Go!' So they came out and went into the pigs, and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and died in the water.
33 Those tending the pigs ran off, went into the town and reported all this, including what had happened to the demon-possessed men.
34 Then the whole town went out to meet Jesus. And when they saw him, they pleaded with him to leave their region.
9 Jesus stepped into a boat, crossed over and came to his own town.
2 Some men brought to him a paralytic, lying on a mat. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, 'Take heart, son; your sins are forgiven.'
3 At this, some of the teachers of the law said to themselves, 'This fellow is blaspheming!'
4 Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said, 'Why do you entertain evil thoughts in your hearts?
5 Which is easier: to say, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Get up and walk'?
6 But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins....' Then he said to the paralytic, 'Get up, take your mat and go home.'
7 And the man got up and went home.
8 When the crowd saw this, they were filled with awe; and they praised God, who had given such authority to men.
9 As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector's booth. 'Follow me,' he told him, and Matthew got up and followed him.
10 While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew's house, many tax collectors and 'sinners' came and ate with him and his disciples.
11 When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, 'Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and 'sinners'?'
12 On hearing this, Jesus said, 'It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.
13 But go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.' For I have not
