1When he descended from the mountain, many people followed him.
2Behold, a leper came and knelt before him, and said, "Master, if you will it, you can make me clean.”
3Jmmanuel stretched out his hand, touched him and said, "l will do it. Be cleansed." And immediately he was cleansed of his leprosy.
4And Jmmanuel spoke to him, "See to it that you tell no one. Instead, go and present yourself to the priest.
5"You were healed through the power of the spirit and the wisdom of knowledge."
The Centurion At Capernaum
6When Jmmanuel went to Capernaum, a centurion walked up to him with a request, saying,
7"Master, my servant lies at home incapacitated with gout and is in great distress.
8"Master, I have heard your new teachings and I know the truth of your wisdom, which states that the human spirit can perform miracles through knowledge of the truth."
9Jmmanuel spoke to him, "l will come and make him well.
10The centurion replied, "Master, I am not worthy to have you enter under my roof, but only say the word and my servant will be well.
11"I, too, am a man subject to authority, and I also have soldiers under me. If I say to one, 'Go!' he goes, and to another, 'Come here!' he comes, and to my servant, 'Do this!' he does it."
12When Jmmanuel heard this, he marvelled and spoke to those who followed him, "Truly, I say to you, such trust I have found in no one in Israel.
13"But I say to you, many will come from the east and the west, from the south and the north, and they will understand my teachings and recognize their wisdom in knowledge.
14"However, the children of Israel will be expelled into darkness; there will be wailing and the chattering of teeth.
15"The false teachings of Israel will bring bloodshed over the millennia, because the power-hungry selfishness and high-handedness of Israel will bring death and destruction over the land and all the world.
Jmmanuel In The House Of Peter
16"Turn away from the false teachings of the Israelite authorities and their scribes, because they will bring destruction to successive generations.
17"The Israelites believe themselves the chosen people. By no means is this the case, because they are more disloyal and unknowing than the ignorant who lack the secret of Creation's laws."
18And Jmmanuel spoke to the centurion, "Go, be it done for you as you have expected." And his servant became well that same hour.
19Jmmanuel came to Peter's house and saw that his mother-in-law lay sick with a fever.
20He touched her hand, the fever left her and she got up and served him.
21In the evening, however, they brought to him many who were possessed; and he drove out the evil spirits through his word and made all the sick well.
22So it came to pass that what was said through the prophet Isaiah would be fulfilled, who spoke, "He has brought us new teachings of knowledge and has taken our infirmities upon himself, and he has healed our sick."
On The Seriousness Of Discipleship
23When Jmmanuel saw many people around him, he gave the order to go across to the other shore.
On the Seriousness of Discipleship
24A scribe walked up to him and said, "Master, I will follow you wherever you go.
25Jmmanuel spoke to him, "Foxes have dens and birds of the air have nests, but I have no fixed place where I can lay my head.
26"I have the mission to preach wisdom and knowledge, therefore I am moving restlessly through the lands.
27And another, one of his disciples, said to him, "Master, permit me to go and bury my father who just died.”
28But Jmmanuel said to him, "Follow me and let the dead bury their dead."
The Healing Of Two Possessed Persons
29He arrived at the other shore, in the region of the Gadarenes. There, two possessed persons ran up to him; they came out of the burial caves and were very dangerous, so that no one could walk on this street.
30And behold, they cried out, saying, "What do you want of us, you son of Gabriel, the celestial son?
31"Have you come to torment us before it is even time?"
32Then the evil spirits within the possessed asked him, "Master, if you intend to drive us out, then let us go into the herd of swine grazing just over there.”
33And he spoke, "So go there.”
34Then they went out into the swine, and behold, the whole herd rushed down to the water and drowned.
35The swineherds fled and went into the town and told everything, including what had happened to the possessed.
36And behold, the whole town came out and approached Jmmanuel.
37And when they saw him, they asked him to leave their area.
