Nádej pre kazdého

Uzdravenie malomocného

1 Keď Ježiš zostupoval z vrchu, hrnuli sa za ním veľké zástupy. 2 Tu sa k nemu priblížil malomocný, kľakol si pred neho a povedal: „Pane, keby si chcel, môžeš ma uzdraviť!“ 3 Ježiš vystrel ruku, dotkol sa ho a povedal: „Áno, chcem, buď zdravý.“ Po malomocenstve nezostalo ani stopy. 4 Ježiš mu povedal: „Nikomu nič nehovor, ale choď, ukáž sa kňazovi a obetuj dar, ako to nariadil Mojžiš – na dôkaz, že si zdravý.“

Rímsky stotník verí v Ježišovu moc

5 Keď prichádzal do Kafarnauma, pristúpil k nemu rímsky stotník a poprosil ho: 6 „Pane, môj sluha leží doma ochrnutý a trpí hroznými bolesťami.“ 7 Ježiš mu odpovedal: „Prídem a uzdravím ho.“ 8 Tu mu stotník povedal: „Pane, nie som hodný, aby si vošiel pod moju strechu. No stačí tvoje slovo a bude zdravý. 9 Veď ja viem, ako to je: Ja sám som podriadený, ale mám aj pod sebou vojakov. Ak niektorému poviem: Choď!, tak ide, a inému: Poď!, tak príde, a ak poviem sluhovi: Urob to!, tak to vykoná. A ty máš takú moc nad chorobami.“ 10 Keď to Ježiš počul, začudoval sa a povedal tým, čo šli s ním: „Vravím vám, že s takou veľkou vierou som sa nestretol v celom Izraeli. 11 A bude to veru tak, že mnohí ľudia zo všetkých strán sveta zaujmú miesto pri stole v nebeskom kráľovstve s Abrahámom, Izákom a Jakobom, 12 kým Izraeliti, pre ktorých bolo kráľovstvo pripravené, budú hnaní do temnôt, kde bude plač a škrípanie zubami.“ 13 Potom sa opäť obrátil k stotníkovi: „Vráť sa domov! To, čomu si uveril, sa stalo!“ A sluha bol v tej chvíli uzdravený.

Uzdravenie Petrovej svokry

14 Potom Ježiš vošiel do Petrovho domu a našiel tam jeho svokru ležať s vysokou horúčkou. 15 Dotkol sa jej ruky a teplota hneď klesla a uľavilo sa jej natoľko, že vstala a obslúžila hosťa. 16 Večer priviedli k nemu mnohých posadnutých zlými duchmi. Jediným slovom vyhnal z nich zlých duchov a všetkých chorých uzdravil. 17 Takto sa splnilo, čo predpovedal prorok Izaiáš: „On vzal na seba naše slabosti a niesol naše choroby.“

Ježiš utíši búrku

18 Keď Ježiš videl, ako sa okolo neho hromadia zástupy, rozkázal učeníkom, aby sa preplavili v člne na druhý breh jazera. 19 Vtom ho zadržal jeden z učiteľov Zákona a povedal mu: „Majstre, pôjdem za tebou kamkoľvek.“ 20 Ježiš mu na to odpovedal: „Líšky majú svoje nory a vtáci hniezda, ale ja, Syn človeka, nemám dom ani miesto, kde by som si zložil hlavu.“ 21 Jeden z jeho žiakov mu zasa povedal: „Pane, kým pôjdem za tebou, dovoľ mi pochovať otca!“ 22 Ale Ježiš mu odpovedal: „Poď za mnou hneď. Nech tí, čo sú duchovne mŕtvi, pochovávajú svojich mŕtvych.“ 23 Potom vstúpil Ježiš do člna a plavil sa s učeníkmi na druhý breh. 24 Zrazu sa strhla prudká búrka a čln sa takmer potápal vo vysokých vlnách. No Ježiš pokojne spal. 25 Priskočili k nemu a zobudili ho: „Pane, zachráň nás, hynieme!“ 26 Ale Ježiš im odpovedal: „Prečo sa tak bojíte? Kde je vaša viera?“ Vstal, pohrozil vetru a vlnám, a búrka hneď prestala a nastalo ticho. 27 Učeníci boli ohromení a vraveli si: „Kto je to vlastne, že ho poslúchajú víchrica aj more?“

Uzdravenie posadnutých v Gadare

28 Keď pristáli na druhom brehu neďaleko Gadary, zbadali dvoch mužov posadnutých démonmi. Žili v skalných hroboch a boli takí nebezpeční, že sa nikto neodvážil tadiaľ ísť. 29 Začali pokrikovať na Ježiša: „Čo ťa je po nás, Syn Boží? Prišiel si nás trápiť? Ešte na nás nemáš právo!“ 30 Neďaleko sa páslo veľké stádo svíň. 31 A démoni ho prosili: „Ak nás už chceš vyhnať, pošli nás do toho stáda svíň!“ 32 „Nedbám, choďte!“ povedal im Ježiš.A hneď vyšli z ľudí a vošli do svíň. Celé stádo sa ihneď splašilo, rútilo sa dolu brehom a potopilo sa v jazere. 33 Pastieri svíň sa rozbehli do mesta a všade rozchýrili, čo sa stalo. Celé mesto utekalo oproti Ježišovi a žiadali ho, aby odišiel z ich kraja.

Jesus Cleanses a Leper

1 When he came down from the mountain, great crowds followed him. (Mt 4,25) 2 And behold, a leper^[1] came to him and knelt before him, saying, “Lord, if you will, you can make me clean.” (Mt 18,26; Mk 1,40; Lk 5,12; Sk 10,25)

Mt 18,26Mk 1,40Lk 5,12Sk 10,25

3 And Jesus^[2] stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I will; be clean.” And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. 4 And Jesus said to him, “See that you say nothing to anyone, but go, show yourself to the priest and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a proof to them.” (Lv 14,2; Mt 9,30; Mt 10,18; Mt 12,16; Mt 17,9; Mt 24,14; Mk 1,34; Mk 5,43; Mk 6,11; Mk 7,36; Mk 8,26; Lk 9,5; Lk 17,14; Jak 5,3)

The Faith of a Centurion

5 When he had entered Capernaum, a centurion came forward to him, appealing to him, (Lk 7,1) 6 “Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, suffering terribly.” 7 And he said to him, “I will come and heal him.” 8 But the centurion replied, “Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof, but only say the word, and my servant will be healed. (Ž 107,20; Mt 8,16) 9 For I too am a man under 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,^[3] ‘Do this,’ and he does it.” 10 When Jesus heard this, he marveled and said to those who followed him, “Truly, I tell you, with no one in Israel^[4] have I found such faith. (Mt 9,2; Mk 6,6) 11 I tell you, many will come from east and west and recline at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven, (Iz 59,19; Mal 1,11; Lk 13,29; Ef 3,6)

Iz 59,19Mal 1,11Lk 13,29Ef 3,6

12 while the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” (Mt 13,42; Mt 13,50; Mt 19,30; Mt 21,41; Mt 21,43; Mt 22,13; Mt 24,51; Mt 25,30; Lk 13,28)

13 And to the centurion Jesus said, “Go; let it be done for you as you have believed.” And the servant was healed at that very moment. (Mt 9,22; Mt 9,29; Jn 4,53)

Jesus Heals Many

14 And when Jesus entered Peter’s house, he saw his mother-in-law lying sick with a fever. (Mk 1,29; Lk 4,38; 1 Kor 9,5) 15 He touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she rose and began to serve him. (Mt 9,25) 16 That evening they brought to him many who were oppressed by demons, and he cast out the spirits with a word and healed all who were sick. (Mt 4,24; Mt 8,8; Mt 8,28; Mt 8,33)

Mt 4,24Mt 8,8Mt 8,28Mt 8,33

17 This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah: “He took our illnesses and bore our diseases.” (Iz 53,4; Mt 1,22)

The Cost of Following Jesus

18 Now when Jesus saw a crowd around him, he gave orders to go over to the other side. (Mt 14,22; Mk 4,35; Lk 8,22; Jn 6,15)

Mt 14,22Mk 4,35Lk 8,22Jn 6,15

19 And a scribe came up and said to him, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.” (Lk 9,57) 20 And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.” 21 Another of the disciples said to him, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.” 22 And Jesus said to him, “Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead.” (Jn 5,25)

Jesus Calms a Storm

23 And when he got into the boat, his disciples followed him. (Mk 4,36; Lk 8,22; Jn 6,16) 24 And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but he was asleep. (Jn 4,6) 25 And they went and woke him, saying, “Save us, Lord; we are perishing.” (Mt 14,30) 26 And he said to them, “Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?” Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. (Jób 38,11; Ž 65,7; Ž 104,6; Mt 6,30; Mt 14,32; Lk 4,39; Jn 14,27)

Jób 38,11Ž 65,7Ž 104,6Mt 6,30Mt 14,32Lk 4,39Jn 14,27

27 And the men marveled, saying, “What sort of man is this, that even winds and sea obey him?” (Mk 1,27; Lk 5,9)

Jesus Heals Two Men with Demons

28 And when he came to the other side, to the country of the Gadarenes,^[5] two demon-possessed^[6] men met him, coming out of the tombs, so fierce that no one could pass that way. (Mt 8,16; Mk 5,1; Lk 8,26; Zjv 18,2)

Mt 8,16Mk 5,1Lk 8,26Zjv 18,2

29 And behold, they cried out, “What have you to do with us, O Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?” (Mt 4,3; Mt 4,6; Mt 14,33; Mk 1,23; Mk 1,26; Lk 4,34; Sk 8,7; Zjv 12,12)

Mt 4,3Mt 4,6Mt 14,33Mk 1,23Mk 1,26Lk 4,34Sk 8,7Zjv 12,12

30 Now a herd of many pigs was feeding at some distance from them. 31 And the demons begged him, saying, “If you cast us out, send us away into the herd of pigs.” 32 And he said to them, “Go.” So they came out and went into the pigs, and behold, the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned in the waters. 33 The herdsmen fled, and going into the city they told everything, especially what had happened to the demon-possessed men. (Mt 8,16) 34 And behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus, and when they saw him, they begged him to leave their region. (1 Kr 17,18; Lk 5,8; Sk 16,39)
