 NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 1 When Jesus came down from the mountain, large crowds followed Him. | 1 When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him. | 1 When Jesus came down from the mountain, large crowds followed him. | 1 When he came down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him. | 1 And when he had come down from the mountain, great crowds followed him. | 2 And a leper came to Him and bowed down before Him, and said, "Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean." | 2 And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. | 2 A man with a serious skin disease came and bowed down in front of him. The man said to Jesus, "Sir, if you're willing, you can make me clean." | 2 Behold, a leper came to him and worshiped him, saying, "Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean." | 2 And behold, a leper came up to him and did him homage, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou art able to cleanse me. | 3 Jesus stretched out His hand and touched him, saying, "I am willing; be cleansed." And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. | 3 And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. | 3 Jesus reached out, touched him, and said, "I'm willing. So be clean!" Immediately, his skin disease went away, and he was clean. | 3 Jesus stretched out his hand, and touched him, saying, "I want to. Be made clean." Immediately his leprosy was cleansed. | 3 And he stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, I will; be cleansed. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. | 4 And Jesus said to him, "See that you tell no one; but go, show yourself to the priest and present the offering that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them." | 4 And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them. | 4 Jesus said to him, "Don't tell anyone about this! Instead, show yourself to the priest. Then offer the sacrifice Moses commanded as proof to people that you are clean." | 4 Jesus 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." | 4 And Jesus says to him, See thou tell no man, but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift which Moses ordained, for a testimony to them. | 5 And when Jesus entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, imploring Him, | 5 And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him, | 5 When Jesus went to Capernaum, a Roman army officer came to beg him for help. | 5 When he came into Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking him, | 5 And when he had entered into Capernaum, a centurion came to him, beseeching him, | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 6 and saying, "Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, fearfully tormented." | 6 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented. | 6 The officer said, "Sir, my servant is lying at home paralyzed and in terrible pain." | 6 and saying, "Lord, my servant lies in the house paralyzed, grievously tormented." | 6 and saying, Lord, my servant lies paralytic in the house, suffering grievously. | 7 Jesus said to him, "I will come and heal him." | 7 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him. | 7 Jesus said to him, "I'll come to heal him." | 7 Jesus said to him, "I will come and heal him." | 7 And Jesus says to him, I will come and heal him. | 8 But the centurion said, "Lord, I am not worthy for You to come under my roof, but just say the word, and my servant will be healed. | 8 The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed. | 8 The officer responded, "Sir, I don't deserve to have you come into my house. But just give a command, and my servant will be healed. | 8 The centurion answered, "Lord, I'm not worthy for you to come under my roof. Just say the word, and my servant will be healed. | 8 And the centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not fit that thou shouldest enter under my roof; but only speak a word, and my servant shall be healed. | 9 "For I also am a man under authority, with soldiers under me; and I say to this one, 'Go!' and he goes, and to another, 'Come!' and he comes, and to my slave, 'Do this!' and he does it." | 9 For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. | 9 As you know, I'm in a chain of command and have soldiers at my command. I tell one of them, 'Go!' and he goes, and another, 'Come!' and he comes. I tell my servant, 'Do this!' and he does it." | 9 For 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." | 9 For I also am a man under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say to this one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my bondman, Do this, and he does it. | 10 Now when Jesus heard this, He marveled and said to those who were following, "Truly I say to you, I have not found such great faith with anyone in Israel. | 10 When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. | 10 Jesus was amazed when he heard this. He said to those who were following him, "I can guarantee this truth: I haven't found faith as great as this in anyone in Israel. | 10 When Jesus heard it, he marveled, and said to those who followed, "Most certainly I tell you, I haven't found so great a faith, not even in Israel. | 10 And when Jesus heard it, he wondered, and said to those who followed, Verily I say unto you, Not even in Israel have I found so great faith. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 11 "I say to you that many will come from east and west, and recline at the table with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven; | 11 And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. | 11 I can guarantee that many will come from all over the world. They will eat with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. | 11 I tell you that many will come from the east and the west, and will sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the Kingdom of Heaven, | 11 But I say unto you, that many shall come from the rising and setting sun, and shall lie down at table with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of the heavens; | 12 but the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth." | 12 But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. | 12 The citizens of that kingdom will be thrown outside into the darkness. People will cry and be in extreme pain there. | 12 but the children of the Kingdom will be thrown out into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth." | 12 but the sons of the kingdom shall be cast out into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. | 13 And Jesus said to the centurion, "Go; it shall be done for you as you have believed." And the servant was healed that very moment. | 13 And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour. | 13 Jesus told the officer, "Go! What you believed will be done for you." And at that moment the servant was healed. | 13 Jesus said to the centurion, "Go your way. Let it be done for you as you have believed." His servant was healed in that hour. | 13 And Jesus said to the centurion, Go, and as thou hast believed, be it to thee. And his servant was healed in that hour. | Peter’s Mother-in-law and Many Others Healed |
| 14 When Jesus came into Peter's home, He saw his mother-in-law lying sick in bed with a fever. | 14 And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever. | 14 When Jesus went to Peter's house, he saw Peter's mother-in-law in bed with a fever. | 14 When Jesus came into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother lying sick with a fever. | 14 And when Jesus had come to Peter's house, he saw his mother-in-law laid down and in a fever; | 15 He touched her hand, and the fever left her; and she got up and waited on Him. | 15 And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them. | 15 Jesus touched her hand, and the fever went away. So she got up and prepared a meal for him. | 15 He touched her hand, and the fever left her.

| 16 When evening came, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed; and He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were ill. | 16 When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: | 16 In the evening the people brought him many who were possessed by demons. He forced the [evil] spirits out of people with a command and cured everyone who was sick. | 16 When evening came, they brought to him many possessed with demons. He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick; | 16 And when the evening was come, they brought to him many possessed by demons, and he cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all that were ill; | 17 This was to fulfill what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet: "HE HIMSELF TOOK OUR INFIRMITIES AND CARRIED AWAY OUR DISEASES." | 17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses. | 17 So what the prophet Isaiah had said came true: "He took away our weaknesses and removed our diseases." | 17 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying: "He took our infirmities, and bore our diseases." | 17 so that that should be fulfilled which was spoken through Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities and bore our diseases. | Discipleship Tested |

| 28 When He came to the other side into the country of the Gadarenes, two men who were demon-possessed met Him as they were coming out of the tombs. They were so extremely violent that no one could pass by that way. | 28 And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way. | 28 When he arrived in the territory of the Gadarenes on the other side [of the Sea of Galilee], two men met him. They were possessed by demons and had come out of the tombs.

Have you come here to torment us before the time?" | 29 And behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Son of God? hast thou come here before the time to torment us? | 30 Now there was a herd of many swine feeding at a distance from them. | 30 And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding. | 30 A large herd of pigs was feeding in the distance. | 30 Now there was a herd of many pigs feeding far away from them. | 30 Now there was, a great way off from them, a herd of many swine feeding; | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 31 The demons began to entreat Him, saying, "If You are going to cast us out, send us into the herd of swine." | 31 So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine. | 31 The demons begged Jesus, "If you're going to force us out, send us into that herd of pigs." | 31 The demons begged him, saying, "If you cast us out, permit us to go away into the herd of pigs." | 31 and the demons besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, send us away into the herd of swine. | 32 And He said to them, "Go!" And they came out and went into the swine, and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea and perished in the waters. | 32 And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters. | 32 Jesus said to them, "Go!" The demons came out and went into the pigs. Suddenly, the whole herd rushed down the cliff into the sea and died in the water. | 32 He said to them, "Go!" They came out, and went into the herd of pigs: and behold, the whole herd of pigs rushed down the cliff into the sea, and died in the water. | 32 And he said to them, Go. And they, going out, departed into the herd of swine; and lo, the whole herd of swine rushed down the steep slope into the sea, and died in the waters. | 33 The herdsmen ran away, and went to the city and reported everything, including what had happened to the demoniacs. | 33 And they that kept them fled, and went their ways into the city, and told every thing, and what was befallen to the possessed of the devils. | 33 Those who took care of the pigs ran into the city. There they reported everything, especially about the men possessed by demons. | 33 Those who fed them fled, and went away into the city, and told everything, including what happened to those who were possessed with demons. | 33 But they that fed them fled, and went away into the city and related everything, and what had happened as to those possessed by demons. | 34 And behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus; and when they saw Him, they implored Him to leave their region. | 34 And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart out of their coasts. | 34 Everyone from the city went to meet Jesus.
