And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.→4And 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.→5And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him,→6And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.→7And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.→8The 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.→9For 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.→10When 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.→11And 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.→12But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.→13And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee.

Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.→27But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!→28And 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.→29And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?→30And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding.→31So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.→32And he said unto them, Go.
