The Leper’s Prayer
(Mark 1:40–45; Luke 5:12–16)

1When Jesus was come down from the mountain, a great multitude followed him. 2and there came a leper who threw himself at his feet, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. 3and Jesus held out his hand and touched him, saying, I will, be thou clean, and immediately he was cured of his leprosy. 4and Jesus said to him, take care not to tell any man, but go thy way, shew thy self to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, that it may be a testimony against them.

The Faith of the Centurion
(Luke 7:1–10; John 4:43–54)

5When Jesus was entred into Capernaum, a centurion came and addressed himself to him, 6saying, Lord, my servant lies sick at home grievously afflicted with the palsy, 7and Jesus said to him, I will come and heal him. 8the centurion answered, Lord, I am not worthy the honour of such a visit: do but give the word, and my servant is sav'd. 9for I am a man under authority, having soldiers under my command: I bid this man, go, and he's gone: another, come, and he's here: and to my servant, do this, and it is done. 10when Jesus heard it, he was surpriz'd, and said to his followers, I profess I have not met with such an instance of faith, no not in Israel. 11and I declare unto you, that many shall come from the east and from the west, and shall sit at table with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob in the heavenly kingdom. 12but the heirs to the kingdom shall be cast into the darkness without: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 13and Jesus said to the centurion, go thy way, what you believed could be done, is effected for you, and his servant was healed in that very hour.

Jesus Heals at Peter’s House
(Mark 1:29–34; Luke 4:38–41)

14After this Jesus went to Peter's house, where seeing his wife's mother lying sick of a fever, 15he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose and gave him entertainment. 16in the evening they brought him several demoniacs: and he cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all that were sick: 17whereby was fulfilled what Esaias the prophet said, "Himself took our infirmities, and bare, our diseases."

The Cost of Discipleship
(Luke 9:57–62; Luke 14:25–33; John 6:59–66)

18Now Jesus perceiving the crowd about him, gave orders to pass over to the other side of the lake. 19when a certain scribe came to him, and said, Master, I will follow you where-ever you go. 20Jesus replyed, the foxes have kennels, and the birds of the air have nests; but the son of man hath not where to lay his head. 21another of his disciples said to him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. 22but Jesus said to him, follow me, and let the dead bury their dead.

Jesus Calms the Storm
(Mark 4:35–41; Luke 8:22–25)

23When he went aboard the vessel, his disciples followed him. 24and on a sudden so great a storm arose at sea, that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. 25and his disciples came and awaked him, saying, Lord, save us: we are sinking. 26and he answer'd, why are you afraid, o incredulous people? then he arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. 27but the crew were all amaz'd; what is this man, said they, that even the winds and the sea obey him?

The Demons and the Pigs
(Mark 5:1–20; Luke 8:26–39)

28When he was arrived on the other side, in the country of the Gergesenes, two demoniacs met him starting out of the tombs with such fury, it was not safe for any body to pass that way. 29and they roar'd out, Jesus, thou son of God, what injury have we done you? are you come here to torment us before the time? 30and there was a considerable herd of swine feeding, at some distance from them. 31So the devils entreated him, saying, if you force us out, suffer us to retire into the herd of swine. 32and Jesus bad them go, accordingly they came out, and went into the herd of swine: and immediately the herd of swine ran furiously down a precipice into the sea, where they were all drown'd. 33and they that kept them fled away into the town, and told the whole story of what had happen'd to the devils and their demoniacs. 34whereupon the city went in a body to meet Jesus, and when they saw him they desir'd him to withdraw out of their country.
