⥃The Leper’s Prayer ^{[ Leviticus 14:1–32 † Mark 1:40–45 † Luke 5:12–16 ]}

[1] When he was come² down from the mountain, great³ multitudes followed him. [2] And, behold⁴, there came a leper⁵ and worshipped⁶ him, saying, Lord, if⁷ thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. [3] And Jesus put⁸ forth [his] hand, and touched him, saying, I will⁹; be thou clean. And immediately¹⁰ his leprosy was cleansed. [4] And Jesus saith unto him, See¹¹ thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew¹² thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for¹³ a testimony unto them.

⥃The Faith of the Centurion ^{[ Luke 7:1–10 † John 4:43–54 ]}

[5] And when Jesus was entered¹⁴ into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion¹⁵, beseeching him, [6] And saying, Lord, my¹⁶ servant lieth at home sick of the palsy¹⁷, grievously tormented. [7] And Jesus saith unto him, I will¹⁸ come and heal him. [8] The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am¹⁹ not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but²⁰ speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed. [9] For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this [man], Go²¹, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do²² this, and he doeth [it]. [10] When Jesus heard [it], he marvelled²³, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have²⁴ not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. [11] And I say unto you, That²⁵ many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit²⁶ down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in²⁷ the kingdom of heaven. [12] But the children²⁸ of the kingdom shall be cast²⁹ out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. [13] And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go³⁰ thy way; and as³¹ thou hast believed, [so] be it done unto thee. And his³² servant was healed in the selfsame hour.

⥃Jesus Heals at Peter’s House ^{[ Mark 1:29–34 † Luke 4:38–41 ]}

[14] And when Jesus was come into³³ Peter’s house, he saw his wife’s³⁴ mother laid, and sick of a fever. [15] And he touched³⁵ her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered³⁶ unto them.

[16] When the even³⁷ was come, they brought³⁸ unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he³⁹ cast out the spirits with [his] word, and healed⁴⁰ all that were sick: [17] That it might⁴¹ be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself⁴² took our infirmities, and bare [our] sicknesses.

⥃The Cost of Discipleship ^{[ Luke 9:57–62 † Luke 14:25–33 † John 6:59–66 ]}

[18] Now when Jesus saw⁴³ great multitudes about him, he gave commandment to depart unto⁴⁴ the other side. [19] And a certain⁴⁵ scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will⁴⁶ follow thee whithersoever thou goest. [20] And⁴⁷ Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air [have] nests; but the Son⁴⁸ of man hath not where to lay [his] head. [21] And another⁴⁹ of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer⁵⁰ me first to go and bury my father. [22] But Jesus said unto him, Follow⁵¹ me; and⁵² let the dead bury their dead.

⥃Jesus Calms the Storm ^{[ Psalms 107:1–43 † Mark 4:35–41 † Luke 8:22–25 ]}

[23] And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him.⁵³ [24] And, behold, there⁵⁴ arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but⁵⁵ he was asleep. [25] And his disciples came to [him], and awoke⁵⁶ him, saying, Lord, save⁵⁷ us: we perish. [26] And he saith unto them, Why⁵⁸ are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked⁵⁹ the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. [27] But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!⁶⁰

⥃The Demons and the Pigs ^{[ Mark 5:1–20 † Luke 8:26–39 ]}

[28] And when⁶¹ he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes⁶², there met him two possessed with devils, coming⁶³ out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so⁶⁴ that no man might pass by that way. [29] And, behold, they cried out, saying, What⁶⁵ have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son⁶⁶ of God? art thou come hither to torment⁶⁷ us before the time? [30] An⁶⁸d there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding. [31] So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.⁶⁹ [32] And he said unto them, Go⁷⁰. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole⁷¹ herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters. [33] And they that kept them fled, and went their ways into the city, and told every thing, and what was befallen to the possessed of the devils.⁷² [34] And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought⁷³ [him] that he would depart out of their coasts.
