Part 8

40:007:023 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

40:007:024 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

40:007:025 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

40:007:026 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

40:007:027 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

40:007:028 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:

40:007:029 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

40:008:001 When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.

40:008:002 And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

40:008:003 And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

40:008:004 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.

40:008:005 And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him,

40:008:006 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.

40:008:007 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.

40:008:008 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.

40:008:009 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.

40:008:010 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.

40:008:011 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.

40:008:012 But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

40:008:013 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.

40:008:014 And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever.

40:008:015 And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them.

40:008:016 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:

40:008:017 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.

40:008:018 Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandment to depart unto the other side.

40:008:019 And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.

40:008:020 And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.

40:008:021 And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
