2 And (A)a leper came to Him and (c)(B)bowed down before Him, and said, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”

2 And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

2 Right away(B) a man with a serious skin disease came up and knelt before Him,(C) saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”

2 Suddenly, a leper came up to him, fell down before him, and said, "Sir, if you want to, you can make me clean."

3 Jesus reached out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

3 Jesus stretched out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” And immediately his (C)leprosy was cleansed.

3 Reaching out His hand He touched him, saying, “I am willing; be made clean.” Immediately his disease was healed.(a)

4 And Jesus said to him, “See that you tell no one [about this]; but go, show yourself to the priest [for inspection] and present the offering that Moses commanded, as a testimony (evidence) to them [of your healing].”(B)

4 And Jesus *said to him, (D)See that you tell no one; but (E)go, (F)show yourself to the priest and present the (d)offering that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”

4 And 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.

4 Then Jesus told him, “See that you don’t tell anyone;(D) but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses prescribed, as a testimony to them.”(E)

4 Then Jesus told him, "See to it that you don't speak to anyone. Instead, go and show yourself to the priest, and then offer the sacrifice that Moses commanded as proof to the authorities."

A Centurion's Slave Healed

5 As Jesus went into Capernaum, a (b)centurion came up to Him, begging Him [for help],(C)

5 And (G)when (e)Jesus entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, imploring Him,

5 And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him,

5 When He entered Capernaum,(F) a centurion came to Him, pleading with Him,

5 When Jesus returned to Capernaum, a centurion came up to him and begged him repeatedly,

6 and saying, “Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, with intense and terrible, tormenting pain.”

6 and saying, “(f)Lord, my (g)servant is (h)lying (H)paralyzed at home, fearfully tormented.”

6 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.

6 “Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, in terrible agony!”

6 "Sir, my servant is lying at home paralyzed and in terrible pain."

7 Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.”

7 Jesus *said to him, “I will come and heal him.”

7 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.

7 “I will come and heal him,” He told him.

7 Jesus told him, "I will come and heal him."

8 But the centurion replied to Him, “Lord, I am not worthy to have You come under my roof, but only say the word, and my servant will be healed.

8 But the centurion said, “(i)Lord, I am not worthy for You to come under my roof, but just (j)say the word, and my (k)servant will be healed.

8 The 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.

8 “Lord,” the centurion replied, “I am not worthy to have You come under my roof. But only say the word, and my servant will be cured.(G)

8 The centurion replied, "Sir, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed,

9 For I also am a man subject to authority [of a higher rank], with soldiers subject to 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.”

9 For I also am a man under (I)authority, with soldiers under me; and I say to this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes, and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes, and to my slave, ‘Do this!’ and he does it.”

9 For 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.

9 For I too am a man under authority, having soldiers under my command.(b) I say to this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes; and to my slave, ‘Do this!’ and he does it.”

9 because I, too, am a man under authority and I have soldiers under me. I say to one of them "Go' and he goes, to another "Come' and he comes, and to my servant "Do this' and he does it."

10 When Jesus heard this, He was amazed and said to those who were following Him, “I tell you truthfully, I have not found such great faith [as this] with anyone in Israel.

10 Now when Jesus heard this, He marveled and said to those who were following, “Truly I say to you, I have not found such great faith (l)with anyone in Israel.

10 When 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.

10 Hearing this, Jesus was amazed and said to those following Him, “I assure you: I have not found anyone in Israel with so great a faith!

10 When Jesus heard this, he was amazed and told those who were following him, "I tell all of you with certainty, not even in Israel have I found this kind of faith!

11 I say to you that many [Gentiles] will come from east and west, and will sit down [to feast at the table, and enjoy God’s promises] with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven [because they accepted Me as Savior],

11 I say to you that many (J)will come from east and west, and (m)recline at the table with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven;

11 And 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.

11 I tell you that many will come from east and west, and recline at the table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.(H)

11 I tell all of you, many will come from east and west and will feast with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom from heaven.

12 while the sons and heirs of the kingdom [the descendants of Abraham who will not recognize Me as Messiah] will be thrown out into the outer darkness; in that place [which is farthest removed from the kingdom] there will be weeping [in sorrow and pain] and grinding of teeth [in distress and anger].”(D)

12 but (K)the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into (L)the outer darkness; in that place (M)there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

12 But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

12 But the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”(I)

12 But the unfaithful heirs of that kingdom will be thrown into the darkness outside. In that place there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth."

13 Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go; it will be done for you as you have believed.” And the servant was restored to health at that very hour.

13 And Jesus said to the centurion, “Go; (n)it shall be done for you (N)as you have believed.” And the (o)servant was healed that very (p)moment.

13 And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour.

13 Then Jesus told the centurion, “Go. As you have believed,(J) let it be done for you.” And his servant was cured that very moment.(c)

13 "Go," Jesus told the centurion, "and it will be done for you, just as you have believed." And his servant was healed that very hour.
