Scriptures

New Living Translation (NLT)

Matthew 7
²⁷ When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house, it will collapse with a mighty crash.”
²⁸ When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching,
²⁹ for he taught with real authority—quite unlike their teachers of religious law.
Matthew 8
¹ Large crowds followed Jesus as he came down the mountainside.
² Suddenly, a man with leprosy approached him and knelt before him. “Lord,” the man said, “if you are willing, you can heal me and make me clean.”
³ Jesus reached out and touched him. “I am willing,” he said. “Be healed!” And instantly the leprosy disappeared.
⁴ Then Jesus said to him, “Don’t tell anyone about this. Instead, go to the priest and let him examine you. Take along the offering required in the law of Moses for those who have been healed of leprosy. This will be a public testimony that you have been cleansed.”
⁵ When Jesus returned to Capernaum, a Roman officer came and pleaded with him,
⁶ “Lord, my young servant lies in bed, paralyzed and in terrible pain.”
⁷ Jesus said, “I will come and heal him.”
⁸ But the officer said, “Lord, I am not worthy to have you come into my home. Just say the word from where you are, and my servant will be healed.
