1 Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
    2 And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die.
    3 And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant.
    4 Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof:
    5 Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.
    6 For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
    7 When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
    8 And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole that had been sick.
    9 And the disciples of John shewed him of all these things.
    10 And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?
    11 Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached.
    12 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.
    13 And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak unto the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
    14 But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings' courts.
    15 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.
    16 This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
    17 For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
    18 And they went into an house.
    19 And the multitude cometh together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread.
    20 And when his kin heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself.
    21 And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake; and the people wondered.
    22 But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils.
    23 But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth.
    24 If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub.
    25 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.
    26 But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.
    27 When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:
    28 But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.
    29 He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.
    30 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.
    31 And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.
    32 Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.
    33 Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:
    34 And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.
    35 Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.
    36 There came then his brethren and his mother, and, standing without, sent unto him, calling him.
    37 And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brothers and sisters without seek for thee.
    38 And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren?
    39 And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
    40 For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.
