Matthew 8

Funda

   

1 And when He had come·​·down from the mountain, many crowds followed Him.

2 And behold, there came a leper and worshiped Him, saying, Lord, if Thou willest, Thou canst make· me ·clean.

3 And stretching forth the hand, Jesus touched him, saying, I am willing; be thou cleansed. And straightway his leprosy was cleansed.

4 And Jesus says to him, See thou tell no one; but go·​·thy·​·way, show thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses directed, for a testimony to them.

5 And when Jesus had entered into Capernaum, a centurion came·​·to Him, imploring Him,

6 and saying, Lord, my boy is cast·​·down in the house, sick·​·of·​·the·​·palsy, frightfully tormented.

7 And Jesus says to him, I will come and cure him.

8 And the centurion answering declared, Lord, I am not worthy that Thou shouldst come·​·in under my roof, but only say the word, and my boy shall be healed.

9 For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under myself; and I say to this man, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my servant, Do this, and he does it.

10 And when Jesus heard, He marveled, and said to those who followed, Amen I say to you, I have not found so·​·great a faith, no, not in Israel.

11 And I say to you that many shall come from the east and west, and shall recline* with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of the heavens.

12 And the sons of the kingdom shall be cast out into the outer darkness, where there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

13 And Jesus said to the centurion, Go·​·thy·​·way; and as thou hast believed, be· it ·done to thee. And his boy was healed in the same hour.

14 And Jesus, coming into the house of Peter, saw his mother-in-law cast·​·down and with·​·a·​·fever.

15 And He touched her hand, and the fever left her; and she arose, and ministered to them.

16 And when the evening was come, they brought·​·to Him many who were demon-possessed; and He cast out the spirits with a word, and He cured all who had an illness,

17 that it might be fulfilled what was declared by Isaiah the prophet, saying, He took our weaknesses, and bore our diseases.*

18 And Jesus, seeing many crowds around Him, gave·​·orders to depart to the other·​·side.

19 And one of the scribes coming said to Him, Teacher, I will follow Thee wherever Thou goest.

20 And Jesus says unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to recline the head.

21 And another of His disciples said to Him, Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father.

22 But Jesus said to him, Follow Me, and leave the dead to bury their dead.

23 And when He had stepped into the ship, His disciples followed Him.

24 And behold, there came·​·to·​·pass a great quaking in the sea, so that the ship was covered by the waves; but He was sleeping.

25 And His disciples coming, caused Him to arise, saying, Lord, save us, we are perishing.

26 And He says unto them, Why are you frightened, O you of·​·little·​·faith? Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.

27 And the men marveled, saying, What·​·manner of Man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him!

28 And when He had come to the other side of the country of the Gergesenes, two met Him who were demon-possessed, coming out of the sepulchers, exceedingly fierce, so·​·that no one was·​·able to pass·​·through that way.

29 And behold, they cried out, saying, What is there to us and to Thee*, Jesus, Son of God? Art Thou come hither before the time to torment us?

30 And there was, a·​·distance from them, a herd of many swine feeding.

31 And the demons implored Him, saying, If Thou cast· us ·out, permit us to go·​·away into the herd of swine.

32 And He said to them, Go. And when they came·​·out, they went·​·away into the herd of swine; and behold, all the herd of swine rushed down a cliff into the sea, and died in the waters.

33 And they who fed them fled, and went·​·away into the city, and reported all things, and the matter of the demon-possessed.

34 And behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus; and seeing Him, they implored Him that He would pass·​·on away·​·from their borders.

Revelation 7

Funda

   

1 After this, I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, so that no wind would blow on the earth, or on the sea, or on any tree.

2 I saw another angel ascend from the sunrise, having the seal of the living God. He cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was given to harm the earth and the sea,

3 saying, "Don't harm the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, until we have sealed the bondservants of our God on their foreheads!"

4 I heard the number of those who were sealed, one hundred forty-four thousand, sealed out of every tribe of the children of Israel:

5 of the tribe of Judah were sealed twelve thousand, of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand, of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand,

6 of the tribe of Asher twelve thousand, of the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand, of the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand,

7 of the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand, of the tribe of Levi twelve thousand, of the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand,

8 of the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand, of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand, of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.

9 After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude, which no man could number, out of every nation and of all tribes, peoples, and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands.

10 They cried with a loud voice, saying, "Salvation be to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!"

11 All the angels were standing around the throne, the elders, and the four living creatures; and they fell on their faces before his throne, and worshiped God,

12 saying, "Amen! Blessing, glory, wisdom, thanksgiving, honor, power, and might, be to our God forever and ever! Amen."

13 One of the elders answered, saying to me, "These who are arrayed in white robes, who are they, and from where did they come?"

14 I told him, "My lord, you know." He said to me, "These are those who came out of the great tribulation. They washed their robes, and made them white in the Lamb's blood.

15 Therefore they are before the throne of God, they serve him day and night in his temple. He who sits on the throne will spread his tabernacle over them.

16 They will never be hungry, neither thirsty any more; neither will the sun beat on them, nor any heat;

17 for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne shepherds them, and leads them to springs of waters of life. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."
