Chapter 8 of Matthew—Revised Standard Version (RSV)

  1. ¶ When he came down from the mountain, great crowds followed him;
  2. and behold, a leper came to him and knelt before him, saying, “Lord, if you will, you can make me clean.”
  3. And he stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I will; be clean.” And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
  4. And Jesus said to him, “See that you say nothing to any one; but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a proof to the people.”[a]
  5. ¶ As he entered Caper′na-um, a centurion came forward to him, beseeching him
  6. and saying, “Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, in terrible distress.”
  7. And he said to him, “I will come and heal him.”
  8. But the centurion answered him, “Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof; but only say the word, and my servant will be healed.
  9. For I 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 he does it.”
  10. When Jesus heard him, he marveled, and said to those who followed him, “Truly, I say to you, not even[b] in Israel have I found such faith.
  11. I tell you, many will come from east and west and sit at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven,
  12. while the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness; there men will weep and gnash their teeth.”
  13. And to the centurion Jesus said, “Go; be it done for you as you have believed.” And the servant was healed at that very moment.
  14. ¶ And when Jesus entered Peter’s house, he saw his mother-in-law lying sick with a fever;
  15. he touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she rose and served him.
  16. That evening they brought to him many who were possessed with demons; and he cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick.
  17. This was to fulfil what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah, “He took our infirmities and bore our diseases.”
  18. ¶ Now when Jesus saw great crowds around him, he gave orders to go over to the other side.
  19. And a scribe came up and said to him, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.”
  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.”
  21. Another of the disciples said to him, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.”
  22. But Jesus said to him, “Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead.”
  23. ¶ And when he got into the boat, his disciples followed him.
  24. And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but he was asleep.
  25. And they went and woke him, saying, “Save, Lord; we are perishing.”
  26. And he said to them, “Why are you afraid, O men of little faith?” Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.
  27. And the men marveled, saying, “What sort of man is this, that even winds and sea obey him?”
  28. ¶ And when he came to the other side, to the country of the Gadarenes,[c] two demoniacs met him, coming out of the tombs, so fierce that no one could pass that way.
  29. And behold, they cried out, “What have you to do with us, O Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?”
  30. Now a herd of many swine was feeding at some distance from them.
  31. And the demons begged him, “If you cast us out, send us away into the herd of swine.”
  32. And he said to them, “Go.” So they came out and went into the swine; and behold, the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea, and perished in the waters.
  33. The herdsmen fled, and going into the city they told everything, and what had happened to the demoniacs.
  34. And behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus; and when they saw him, they begged him to leave their neighborhood.

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      The NWT is Satanic filth to its very core.

      The JW Cult is Satanic to its very core.

      Praise Yahweh I will never be a victim of JW brainwashing. If I burn in Hell for eternity or I am ultimately annihilated so be it

      May Yahweh's curse rest on the Watchtower Society and its Satanic leadership

      NWT is a false translation that takes away from the deity of Jesus !

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.

      Please site these intentional heresies. I am well versed in the watch tower outline and agree they are in many ways incorrect but i also bet i can point many out from EVERY established or main denomination. There is much to learn from them all as one who drinks milk?

      Judge not lest ye be judged, that is not to pass judgement on you either brother.

      I debate with scripture. I don't hold it to be true that Michael is Y'Shua HaMeshiach but I also firmly hold it to be true that our G-d and Heavenly Father are not the word encarnate and only begotten son.

      I love not seeing "lord" which i relate to baal. I feel the catholic church is a satanic establishment and I am aware a freemason started the hovies but there are evil in high places and our fight is also with principalities.

      What i'm saying is that in my darkest hours, those two were some of if not the only ones who would bring a Bible and eucharist and pray with me.

      We all fall short of the glory of G-d.

      Don't forget the NWT was recognized as the most accurate translation on Jeopardy.

      Lastly, this is different I noted than the NWT i have read and am very familiar with. Pull up the watchtower page and compare. I truly look forward to getting this one!
