¹¹ And I say to you that many ^(A)will come from east and west, and ^[a]recline at the table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven; ¹² but ^(B)the sons of the kingdom will be thrown out into ^(C)the outer darkness; in that place ^(D)there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” ¹³ And Jesus said to the centurion, “Go; ^[b]it shall be done for you ^(E)as you have believed.” And the ^[c]servant was healed at that very ^[d]moment.

Peter’s Mother-in-law and Many Others Healed

^14 (F)When Jesus came into Peter’s ^[e]home, He saw his mother-in-law lying sick in bed with a fever. ¹⁵ And He touched her hand, and the fever left her; and she got up and ^[f]waited on Him. ¹⁶ Now when evening came, they brought to Him many ^(G)who were demon-possessed; and He cast out the spirits with a word, and ^(H)healed all who were ill. ¹⁷ This happened so that what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet would be fulfilled: “^(I)He Himself took our illnesses and ^[g]carried away our diseases.”

Discipleship Tested

¹⁸ Now when Jesus saw a crowd around Him, ^(J)He gave orders to depart to the other side of the sea. ^19 (K)Then a scribe came and said to Him, “Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go.” ²⁰ And Jesus *said to him, “The foxes have holes and the birds of the sky have nests, but ^(L)the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.” ²¹ And another of the disciples said to Him, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.” ²² But Jesus *said to him, “^(M)Follow Me, and let the dead bury their own dead.”

Jesus Calms the Storm

^23 (N)When He got into the boat, His disciples followed Him. ²⁴ And behold, a ^[h]violent storm developed on the sea, so that the boat was being covered by the waves; but Jesus Himself was asleep. ²⁵ And they came to Him and woke Him, saying, “^(O)Save us, Lord; we are perishing!” ²⁶ He *said to them, “Why are you ^[i]afraid, ^(P)you men of little faith?” Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and ^[j]it became perfectly calm. ²⁷ The men were amazed, and said, “What kind of a man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?”

Jesus Sends Demons into Pigs

^28 (Q)And when He came to the other side into the country of the Gadarenes, two ^(R)demon-possessed men confronted Him as they were coming out of the tombs. They were so extremely violent that no one could pass by that way. ²⁹ And they cried out, saying, “^[k](S)What business do You have with us, Son of God? Have You come here to torment us before ^[l]the time?” ³⁰ Now there was a herd of many pigs feeding at a distance from them. ³¹ And the demons begged Him, saying, “If You are going to cast us out, send us into the herd of pigs.” ³² And He said to them, “Go!” And they came out and went into the pigs; and behold, the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea and ^[m]drowned in the waters. ³³ And the herdsmen ran away, and went to the city and reported everything, ^[n]including what had happened to the ^(T)demon-possessed men. ³⁴ And behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus; and when they saw Him, ^(U)they pleaded with Him to leave their region.

⁴⁶ Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly and said, “It was necessary that the word of God be spoken to you ^(A)first. Since you repudiate it and consider yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, ^(B)we are turning to the Gentiles.

⁶ But when they resisted and blasphemed, he ^(A)shook out his garments and said to them, “Your ^(B)blood is ^[a]on your own heads! I am clean. From now on I will go ^(C)to the Gentiles.”

²⁸ Therefore, let it be known to you that ^(A)this salvation of God has been sent ^(B)to the Gentiles; they will also listen.”^[a]
