Matt.7.24

When Jesus concluded his address, the crowd burst into applause. They had never heard teaching like this.

Matt.7.24

"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.

Matt.7.24

"Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock:

Matt.7.24

"Anyone who listens to my teaching and obeys me is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock.

Matt.7.25

It was apparent that he was living everything he was saying--quite a contrast to their religion teachers! This was the best teaching they had ever heard.

Matt.7.25

The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.

Matt.7.25

and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.

Matt.7.25

Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house, it won't collapse, because it is built on rock.

Matt.7.26

But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.

Matt.7.26

But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.

Matt.7.26

"But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand:

Matt.7.26

But anyone who hears my teaching and ignores it is foolish, like a person who builds a house on sand.

Matt.7.27

The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash."

Matt.7.27

The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash."

Matt.7.27

and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall."

Matt.7.27

When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house, it will fall with a mighty crash."

Matt.7.28

When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching,

Matt.7.28

When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching,

Matt.7.28

And so it was, when Jesus had ended these sayings, that the people were astonished at His teaching,

Matt.7.28

After Jesus finished speaking, the crowds were amazed at his teaching,

Matt.7.29

because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law.

Matt.7.29

because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law.

Matt.7.29

for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

Matt.7.29

for he taught as one who had real authority--quite unlike the teachers of religious law.

Matt.8.1

Jesus came down the mountain with the cheers of the crowd still ringing in his ears.

Matt.8.1

When he came down from the mountainside, large crowds followed him.

Matt.8.1

When He had come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed Him.

Matt.8.1

Large crowds followed Jesus as he came down the mountainside.

Matt.8.2

Then a leper appeared and went to his knees before Jesus, praying, "Master, if you want to, you can heal my body."

Matt.8.2

A man with leprosy came and knelt before him and said, "Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean."

Matt.8.2

And behold, a leper came and worshiped Him, saying, "Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean."

Matt.8.2

Suddenly, a man with leprosy approached Jesus. He knelt before him, worshiping. "Lord," the man said, "if you want to, you can make me well again."

Matt.8.3

Jesus reached out and touched him, saying, "I want to. Be clean." Then and there, all signs of the leprosy were gone.

Matt.8.3

Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. "I am willing," he said. "Be clean!" Immediately he was cured of his leprosy.

Matt.8.3

Then Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying, "I am willing; be cleansed." Immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

Matt.8.3

Jesus touched him. "I want to," he said. "Be healed!" And instantly the leprosy disappeared.

Matt.8.4

Jesus said, "Don't talk about this all over town. Just quietly present your healed body to the priest, along with the appropriate expressions of thanks to God. Your cleansed and grateful life, not your words, will bear witness to what I have done."

Matt.8.4

Then Jesus said to him, "See that you don't tell anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the gift Moses commanded, as a testimony to them."

Matt.8.4

And Jesus said to him, "See that you tell no one; but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them."

Matt.8.4

Then Jesus said to him, "Go right over to the priest and let him examine you. Don't talk to anyone along the way. Take along the offering required in the law of Moses for those who have been healed of leprosy, so everyone will have proof of your healing."

Matt.8.5

As Jesus entered the village of Capernaum, a Roman captain came up in a panic and said,

Matt.8.5

When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking for help.

Matt.8.5

Now when Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, pleading with Him,

Matt.8.5

When Jesus arrived in Capernaum, a Roman officer came and pleaded with him,

Matt.8.6

"Master, my servant is sick. He can't walk. He's in terrible pain."

Matt.8.6

"Lord," he said, "my servant lies at home paralyzed and in terrible suffering."

Matt.8.6

saying, "Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, dreadfully tormented."

Matt.8.6

"Lord, my young servant lies in bed, paralyzed and racked with pain."

Matt.8.7

Jesus said, "I'll come and heal him."

Matt.8.7

Jesus said to him, "I will go and heal him."

Matt.8.7

And Jesus said to him, "I will come and heal him."

Matt.8.7

Jesus said, "I will come and heal him."

Matt.8.8

"Oh, no," said the captain. "I don't want to put you to all that trouble. Just give the order and my servant will be fine.

Matt.8.8

The centurion replied, "Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

Matt.8.8

The centurion answered and said, "Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed.

Matt.8.8

Then the officer said, "Lord, I am not worthy to have you come into my home. Just say the word from where you are, and my servant will be healed!

Matt.8.9

I'm a man who takes orders and gives orders. I tell one soldier, "Go,' and he goes; to another, "Come,' and he comes; to my slave, "Do this,' and he does it."

Matt.8.9

For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, 'Go,' and he goes; and that one, 'Come,' and he comes. I say to my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it."

Matt.8.9

For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, "Go,' and he goes; and to another, "Come,' and he comes; and to my servant, "Do this,' and he does it."

Matt.8.9

I know, because I am under the authority of my superior officers and I have authority over my soldiers. I only need to say, 'Go,' and they go, or 'Come,' and they come. And if I say to my slaves, 'Do this or that,' they do it."

Matt.8.10

Taken aback, Jesus said, "I've yet to come across this kind of simple trust in Israel, the very people who are supposed to know all about God and how he works.

Matt.8.10

When Jesus heard this, he was astonished and said to those following him, "I tell you the truth, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith.

Matt.8.10

When Jesus heard it, He marveled, and said to those who followed, "Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!

Matt.8.10

When Jesus heard this, he was amazed. Turning to the crowd, he said, "I tell you the truth, I haven't seen faith like this in all the land of Israel!

Matt.8.11

This man is the vanguard of many outsiders who will soon be coming from all directions--streaming in from the east, pouring in from the west, sitting down at God's kingdom banquet alongside Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Matt.8.11

I say to you that many will come from the east and the west, and will take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.

Matt.8.11

And I say to you that many will come from east and west, and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.

Matt.8.11

And I tell you this, that many Gentiles will come from all over the world and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob at the feast in the Kingdom of Heaven.

Matt.8.12

Then those who grew up "in the faith' but had no faith will find themselves out in the cold, outsiders to grace and wondering what happened."

Matt.8.12

But the subjects of the kingdom will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."

Matt.8.12

But the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."

Matt.8.12

But many Israelites--those for whom the Kingdom was prepared--will be cast into outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."

Matt.8.13

Then Jesus turned to the captain and said, "Go. What you believed could happen has happened." At that moment his servant became well.

Matt.8.13

Then Jesus said to the centurion, "Go! It will be done just as you believed it would." And his servant was healed at that very hour.

Matt.8.13

Then Jesus said to the centurion, "Go your way; and as you have believed, so let it be done for you." And his servant was healed that same hour.

Matt.8.13

Then Jesus said to the Roman officer, "Go on home. What you have believed has happened." And the young servant was healed that same hour.

Matt.8.14

By this time they were in front of Peter's house. On entering, Jesus found Peter's mother-in-law sick in bed, burning up with fever.

Matt.8.14

When Jesus came into Peter's house, he saw Peter's mother-in-law lying in bed with a fever.

Matt.8.14

Now when Jesus had come into Peter's house, He saw his wife's mother lying sick with a fever.

Matt.8.14

When Jesus arrived at Peter's house, Peter's mother-in-law was in bed with a high fever.

Matt.8.15

He touched her hand and the fever was gone. No sooner was she up on her feet than she was fixing dinner for him.

Matt.8.15

He touched her hand and the fever left her, and she got up and began to wait on him.

Matt.8.15

So He touched her hand, and the fever left her. And she arose and served them.

Matt.8.15

But when Jesus touched her hand, the fever left her. Then she got up and prepared a meal for him.

Matt.8.16

That evening a lot of demon-afflicted people were brought to him. He relieved the inwardly tormented. He cured the bodily ill.

Matt.8.16

When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to him, and he drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick.

Matt.8.16

When evening had come, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed. And He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick,

Matt.8.16

That evening many demon-possessed people were brought to Jesus. All the spirits fled when he commanded them to leave; and he healed all the sick.

Matt.8.17

He fulfilled Isaiah's well-known sermon: He took our illnesses, He carried our diseases.

Matt.8.17

This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: "He took up our infirmities and carried our diseases."

Matt.8.17

that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying: "He Himself took our infirmities And bore our sicknesses."

Matt.8.17

This fulfilled the word of the Lord through Isaiah, who said, "He took our sicknesses and removed our diseases."

Matt.8.18

When Jesus saw that a curious crowd was growing by the minute, he told his disciples to get him out of there to the other side of the lake.

Matt.8.18

When Jesus saw the crowd around him, he gave orders to cross to the other side of the lake.

Matt.8.18

And when Jesus saw great multitudes about Him, He gave a command to depart to the other side.

Matt.8.18

When Jesus noticed how large the crowd was growing, he instructed his disciples to cross to the other side of the lake.

Matt.8.19

As they left, a religion scholar asked if he could go along. "I'll go with you, wherever," he said.

Matt.8.19

Then a teacher of the law came to him and said, "Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go."

Matt.8.19

Then a certain scribe came and said to Him, "Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go."

Matt.8.19

Then one of the teachers of religious law said to him, "Teacher, I will follow you no matter where you go!"

Matt.8.20

Jesus was curt: "Are you ready to rough it? We're not staying in the best inns, you know."

Matt.8.20

Jesus replied, "Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head."

Matt.8.20

And Jesus said to him, "Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head."

Matt.8.20

But Jesus said, "Foxes have dens to live in, and birds have nests, but I, the Son of Man, have no home of my own, not even a place to lay my head."

Matt.8.21

Another follower said, "Master, excuse me for a couple of days, please. I have my father's funeral to take care of."

Matt.8.21

Another disciple said to him, "Lord, first let me go and bury my father."

Matt.8.21

Then another of His disciples said to Him, "Lord, let me first go and bury my father."

Matt.8.21

Another of his disciples said, "Lord, first let me return home and bury my father."

Matt.8.22

Jesus refused. "First things first. Your business is life, not death. Follow me. Pursue life." [JC]

Matt.8.22

But Jesus told him, "Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead."

Matt.8.22

But Jesus said to him, "Follow Me, and let the dead bury their own dead."

Matt.8.22

But Jesus told him, "Follow me now! Let those who are spiritually dead care for their own dead."
