Healing the possessed man in Capernaum (Mark 1:23-28. Luke 4:33-37)
Mark 1: 23Just then there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit,
24and he cried out, ‘What have you to do with us,
Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are, the
Holy One of God.’
25But Jesus rebuked him, saying, ‘Be silent, and come out of him!’
26And the unclean spirit, throwing him into convulsions and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.
27They were all amazed, and they kept on asking one another, ‘What is this? A new teaching—with authority! He
* commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.’
28At once his fame began to spread throughout the surrounding region of Galilee
Healing of Peter's mother-in-law (Mathew 8:14-15. Mark 1:29-31. Luke 4:38-39)
Mathew 8:14 When Jesus entered Peter’s house, he saw his mother-in-law lying in bed with a fever;
15he touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she got up and began to serve him.
Cleansing of a Leper (Mathew 8:1-4. Mark 1:140-45. Luke 5:12-16)
Mathew 8:1 When Jesus
* had come down from the mountain, great crowds followed him;
2and there was a leper
* who came to him and knelt before him, saying, ‘Lord, if you choose, you can make me clean.’
3He stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, ‘I do choose. Be made clean!’ Immediately his leprosy
* was cleansed.
4Then Jesus said to him, ‘See that you say nothing
to anyone; but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that
Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.’
Turning Water to Wine at Cana (John 2:1-12)
John 2:1 On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.
2Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding.
3When the wine gave out, the mother of Jesus said to him, ‘They have no wine.’
4And Jesus said to her, ‘Woman, what concern is that to you and to me? My hour has not yet come.’
5His mother said to the servants, ‘Do whatever he tells you.’
6Now standing there were six stone water-jars for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons.
7Jesus said to them, ‘Fill the jars with water.’ And they filled them up to the brim.
8He said to them, ‘Now draw some out, and take it to the chief steward.’ So they took it.
9When the steward tasted the water that had become
wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had
drawn the water knew), the steward called the bridegroom
10and said to him, ‘Everyone serves the good wine
first, and then the inferior wine after the guests have become drunk.
But you have kept the good wine until now.’
11Jesus did this, the first of his signs, in Cana of Galilee, and revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.
12 After this he went down to Capernaum with his mother, his brothers, and his disciples; and they remained there for a few days.
The Miraculous Catch of Fish (Luke 5:2-11)
Luke 5:2he saw two boats there at the shore of the lake; the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets.
3He got into one of the boats, the one belonging
to Simon, and asked him to put out a little way from the shore. Then he
sat down and taught the crowds from the boat.
4When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, ‘Put out into the deep water and let down your nets for a catch.’
5Simon answered, ‘Master, we have worked all night long but have caught nothing. Yet if you say so, I will let down the nets.’
6When they had done this, they caught so many fish that their nets were beginning to break.
7So they signalled to their partners in the other
boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both boats, so that
they began to sink.
8But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, ‘Go away from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man!’
9For he and all who were with him were amazed at the catch of fish that they had taken;
10and so also were James and John, sons of
Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. Then Jesus said to Simon, ‘Do not
be afraid; from now on you will be catching people.’
11When they had brought their boats to shore, they left everything and followed him.
Healing of a Paralytic (Mathew 9:1-8. Mark 2:1-12. Luke 5:18-26)
Mathew 9:1And after getting into a boat he crossed the water and came to his own town.
2 And just then some people were carrying
a paralysed man lying on a bed. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to
the paralytic, ‘Take heart, son; your sins are forgiven.’
3Then some of the scribes said to themselves, ‘This man is blaspheming.’
4But Jesus, perceiving their thoughts, said, ‘Why do you think evil in your hearts?
5For which is easier, to say, “Your sins are forgiven”, or to say, “Stand up and walk”?
6But so that you may know that the Son of Man has
authority on earth to forgive sins’—he then said to the paralytic—‘Stand
up, take your bed and go to your home.’
7And he stood up and went to his home.
8When the crowds saw it, they were filled with awe, and they glorified God, who had given such authority to human beings.
Curse of the man with a Withered Hand (Mathew 12:9-14. Mark 3:1-16. Luke 6:6-10)
Mathew 12:9 He left that place and entered their synagogue;
10a man was there with a withered hand, and they asked him, ‘Is it lawful to cure on the sabbath?’ so that they might accuse him.
11He said to them, ‘Suppose one of you has only
one sheep and it falls into a pit on the sabbath; will you not lay hold
of it and lift it out?
12How much more valuable is a human being than a sheep! So it is lawful to do good on the sabbath.’
13Then he said to the man, ‘Stretch out your hand.’ He stretched it out, and it was restored, as sound as the other.
14But the Pharisees went out and conspired against him, how to destroy him.
Healing of Official's Son in Capernaum (John 4:43-54)
John 4:43 When the two days were over, he went from that place to Galilee
44(for Jesus himself had testified that a prophet has no honour in the prophet’s own country).
45When he came to Galilee, the Galileans welcomed
him, since they had seen all that he had done in Jerusalem at the
festival; for they too had gone to the festival.
46 Then he came again to Cana in Galilee
where he had changed the water into wine. Now there was a royal official
whose son lay ill in Capernaum.
47When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea to
Galilee, he went and begged him to come down and heal his son, for he
was at the point of death.
48Then Jesus said to him, ‘Unless you
* see signs and wonders you will not believe.’
49The official said to him, ‘Sir, come down before my little boy dies.’
50Jesus said to him, ‘Go; your son will live.’ The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him and started on his way.
51As he was going down, his slaves met him and told him that his child was alive.
52So he asked them the hour when he began to
recover, and they said to him, ‘Yesterday at one in the afternoon the
fever left him.’
53The father realized that this was the hour when
Jesus had said to him, ‘Your son will live.’ So he himself believed,
along with his whole household.
54Now this was the second sign that Jesus did after coming from Judea to Galilee.
Healing of Centurion's Servant (Mathew 8:5-13. Luke 7:2-10)
Mathew 8:5 When he entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him, appealing to him
6and saying, ‘Lord, my servant is lying at home paralysed, in terrible distress.’
7And he said to him, ‘I will come and cure him.’
8The centurion answered, ‘Lord, I am not worthy to
have you come under my roof; but only speak the word, and my servant
will be healed.
9For I also am a man under authority, with
soldiers under me; and I say to one, “Go”, and he goes, and to another,
“Come”, and he comes, and to my slave, “Do this”, and the slave does
it.’
10When Jesus heard him, he was amazed and said to those who followed him, ‘Truly I tell you, in no one
* in Israel have I found such faith.
11I tell you, many will come from east and west and will eat with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven,
12while the heirs of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
13And to the centurion Jesus said, ‘Go; let it be done for you according to your faith.’ And the servant was healed in that hour.
Raising of Widow's Son at Nain (Luke 7:11-17)
Luke 7:11 Soon afterwards
* he went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went with him.
12As he approached the gate of the town, a man who
had died was being carried out. He was his mother’s only son, and she
was a widow; and with her was a large crowd from the town.
13When the Lord saw her, he had compassion for her and said to her, ‘Do not weep.’
14Then he came forward and touched the bier, and the bearers stood still. And he said, ‘Young man, I say to you, rise!’
15The dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus
* gave him to his mother.
16Fear seized all of them; and they glorified God,
saying, ‘A great prophet has risen among us!’ and ‘God has looked
favourably on his people!’
17This word about him spread throughout Judea and all the surrounding country.
Calming of the Storm at Sea (Mathew 8:23-27. Mark 4:35-41. Luke 8:22-25)
Mathew 8:23 And when he got into the boat, his disciples followed him.
24A gale arose on the lake, so great that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but he was asleep.
25And they went and woke him up, saying, ‘Lord, save us! We are perishing!’
26And he said to them, ‘Why are you afraid, you of
little faith?’ Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the sea; and
there was a dead calm.
27They were amazed, saying, ‘What sort of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him?’
Curse of the Genasene Demoniac (Mathew 8:28-34. Mark 4:35-41. Like 8:26-39)
Mathew 8:28 When he came to the other side, to the country of the Gadarenes,
* two demoniacs coming out of the tombs met him. They were so fierce that no one could pass that way.
29Suddenly they shouted, ‘What have you to do with us, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?’
30Now a large herd of swine was feeding at some distance from them.
31The demons begged him, ‘If you cast us out, send us into the herd of swine.’
32And he said to them, ‘Go!’ So they came out and
entered the swine; and suddenly, the whole herd rushed down the steep
bank into the lake and perished in the water.
33The swineherds ran off, and on going into the town, they told the whole story about what had happened to the demoniacs.
34Then the whole town came out to meet Jesus; and when they saw him, they begged him to leave their neighbourhood.
Healing of Paralytic in Bethesda ( John 5:1-17)
John 5:1 After this there was a festival of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2 Now in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate there is a pool, called in Hebrew
* Beth-zatha,
* which has five porticoes.
3In these lay many invalids—blind, lame, and paralysed.
*
5One man was there who had been ill for thirty-eight years.
6When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had been there a long time, he said to him, ‘Do you want to be made well?’
7The sick man answered him, ‘Sir, I have no one to
put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; and while I am
making my way, someone else steps down ahead of me.’
8Jesus said to him, ‘Stand up, take your mat and walk.’
9At once the man was made well, and he took up his mat and began to walk.
Now that day was a sabbath.
10So the Jews said to the man who had been cured, ‘It is the sabbath; it is not lawful for you to carry your mat.’
11But he answered them, ‘The man who made me well said to me, “Take up your mat and walk.”
’
12They asked him, ‘Who is the man who said to you, “Take it up and walk”?’
13Now the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had disappeared in
* the crowd that was there.
14Later Jesus found him in the temple and said to
him, ‘See, you have been made well! Do not sin any more, so that nothing
worse happens to you.’
15The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.
16Therefore the Jews started persecuting Jesus, because he was doing such things on the sabbath.
17But Jesus answered them, ‘My Father is still working, and I also am working.’
18For this reason the Jews were seeking all the
more to kill him, because he was not only breaking the sabbath, but was
also calling God his own Father, thereby making himself equal to God.
Cure of Woman Afflicted with Hemorrhage (Mathew 9:20-22. Mark 5:25-34. Luke 8:43-48)
Mathew 9:20Then suddenly a woman who had been suffering
from haemorrhages for twelve years came up behind him and touched the
fringe of his cloak,
21for she said to herself, ‘If I only touch his cloak, I will be made well.’
22Jesus turned, and seeing her he said, ‘Take
heart, daughter; your faith has made you well.’ And instantly the woman
was made well.
Raising of Jairus' Daughter (Mathew 9:23-26. Mark 5:35-43. Luke 8:49-56)
Mathew 9:23 When Jesus came to the leader’s house and saw the flute-players and the crowd making a commotion,
24he said, ‘Go away; for the girl is not dead but sleeping.’ And they laughed at him.
25But when the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took her by the hand, and the girl got up.
26And the report of this spread throughout that district.
Healing Two Blind Men (Mathew 9:27-31)
Mathew 9:27 As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him, crying loudly, ‘Have mercy on us, Son of David!’
28When he entered the house, the blind men came to
him; and Jesus said to them, ‘Do you believe that I am able to do
this?’ They said to him, ‘Yes, Lord.’
29Then he touched their eyes and said, ‘According to your faith let it be done to you.’
30And their eyes were opened. Then Jesus sternly ordered them, ‘See that no one knows of this.’
31But they went away and spread the news about him throughout that district.
Healing A Possessed Mute (Mathew 9:32-34)
Mathew 9:32 After they had gone away, a demoniac who was mute was brought to him.
33And when the demon had been cast out, the one
who had been mute spoke; and the crowds were amazed and said, ‘Never has
anything like this been seen in Israel.’
34But the Pharisees said, ‘By the ruler of the demons he casts out the demons.’
Feeding the 5000 (Mathew 14:13-21. Mark 6:34-44. Luke 9:10-17. John 6:1-14)
Mathew 14:13 Now when Jesus heard this, he withdrew from
there in a boat to a deserted place by himself. But when the crowds
heard it, they followed him on foot from the towns.
14When he went ashore, he saw a great crowd; and he had compassion for them and cured their sick.
15When it was evening, the disciples came to him
and said, ‘This is a deserted place, and the hour is now late; send the
crowds away so that they may go into the villages and buy food for
themselves.’
16Jesus said to them, ‘They need not go away; you give them something to eat.’
17They replied, ‘We have nothing here but five loaves and two fish.’
18And he said, ‘Bring them here to me.’
19Then he ordered the crowds to sit down on the
grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven,
and blessed and broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples, and
the disciples gave them to the crowds.
20And all ate and were filled; and they took up what was left over of the broken pieces, twelve baskets full.
21And those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
Walking on Water (Mathew 14:22-33. Mark 6:44-52. John 6:16-21)
Mathew 14:22 Immediately he made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds.
23And after he had dismissed the crowds, he went up the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone,
24but by this time the boat, battered by the waves, was far from the land,
* for the wind was against them.
25And early in the morning he came walking towards them on the lake.
26But when the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified, saying, ‘It is a ghost!’ And they cried out in fear.
27But immediately Jesus spoke to them and said, ‘Take heart, it is I; do not be afraid.’
28 Peter answered him, ‘Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.’
29He said, ‘Come.’ So Peter got out of the boat, started walking on the water, and came towards Jesus.
30But when he noticed the strong wind,
* he became frightened, and beginning to sink, he cried out, ‘Lord, save me!’
31Jesus immediately reached out his hand and caught him, saying to him, ‘You of little faith, why did you doubt?’
32When they got into the boat, the wind ceased.
33And those in the boat worshipped him, saying, ‘Truly you are the Son of God.’
Healing at Gennesaret (Mathew 14:34-36. Mark 6:53-56)
Mathew 14:34 When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret.
35After the people of that place recognized him, they sent word throughout the region and brought all who were sick to him,
36and begged him that they might touch even the fringe of his cloak; and all who touched it were healed.
Cure of Syro-Phoenician's Daughter (Mathew 15:21-28. Mark 7:24-30)
Mathew 15:21 Jesus left that place and went away to the district of Tyre and Sidon.
22Just then a Canaanite woman from that region
came out and started shouting, ‘Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David; my
daughter is tormented by a demon.’
23But he did not answer her at all. And his
disciples came and urged him, saying, ‘Send her away, for she keeps
shouting after us.’
24He answered, ‘I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.’
25But she came and knelt before him, saying, ‘Lord, help me.’
26He answered, ‘It is not fair to take the children’s food and throw it to the dogs.’
27She said, ‘Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table.’
28Then Jesus answered her, ‘Woman, great is your
faith! Let it be done for you as you wish.’ And her daughter was healed
instantly.
