MATTHEW 8 1-17

    🍃🕊️01/23 - GospeL Verses 🍃🕊️

8:1 - When he came down from the mountain, great crowds were following him. 2 And a leper came to him and knelt before him, saying, “Lord, if you will, you can make me clean.” 3 And Jesus reached out his hand and touched him, saying, “I will. Be clean.”And his leprosy was gone immediately. 4 And Jesus said, “Don’t tell anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the gift that Moses instructed, as a proof to them.”

     5 When he was in Capernaum, a Roman centurion came and said to him, 6 “Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, suffering terribly.” 7 And Jesus said, “I will come and heal him.” 8 But the centurion said, “Lord, I’m not worthy to have you come under my roof, but only say the word, and my servant will be healed. 9 For I too am a man with authority, with soldiers under me. And I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes, and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes, and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.” 10 When Jesus heard this, he marveled and said to those around him, “Truly, I tell you, no where in all Israel have I found such faith. 11 Many, I tell you, will come from east and west and will recline at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven, 12 while the sons and daughters of the kingdom will be outside in darkness, where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth.” {Surely(?) this is foremost, an inner, outside of the Light, darkness.. As portrayed in the rich man and Lazarus parable (and the outside of the vision narrative of Rev.22). With gnashing of teeth progressing to weeping.. and beating self up with many stripes, because (Jn.12.32) Jesus said he “will draw all”. All being from the greek word “pas”. Which word was changed into “all things” whenever possible.. Rev.21:5, Eph.1:10, Jn.13:3, 1Cor.15:27-28, five times! ..This due to translator partial disbelief? 

     13 And to the centurion Jesus said, “Go, it will be done for you, as you have believed.” And the servant was healed at that very moment.

     14 When Jesus entered Peter's house, he saw Peter’s mother-in-law lying sick with a fever, 15 so he touched her hand, and the fever left her. And she rose up and began to prepare a meal for them. 16 And that evening they brought to the house many who were oppressed by demons, and he cast out the spirits with a word and healed all who were sick. 17 This fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah, “He took our illnesses and carried our diseases.”
