⁸ The centurion answered and said, “Lord, ^(A)I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only ^(B)speak a word, and my servant will be healed. ⁹ For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”

¹⁰ When Jesus heard it, He marveled, and said to those who followed, “Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel! ¹¹ And I say to you that ^(C)many will come from east and west, and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. ¹² But ^(D)the sons of the kingdom ^(E)will be cast out into outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” ¹³ Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go your way; and as you have believed, so let it be done for you.” And his servant was healed that same hour.

Peter’s Mother-in-Law Healed^(F)

^14 (G)Now when Jesus had come into Peter’s house, He saw ^(H)his wife’s mother lying sick with a fever. ¹⁵ So He touched her hand, and the fever left her. And she arose and served ^[a]them.

Many Healed in the Evening^(I)

^16 (J)When evening had come, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed. And He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick, ¹⁷ that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying:

The Cost of Discipleship^(L)

¹⁸ And when Jesus saw great multitudes about Him, He gave a command to depart to the other side. ^19 (M)Then a certain scribe came and said to Him, “Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go.”

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 (N)Then another of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, ^(O)let me first go and bury my father.”

²² But Jesus said to him, “Follow Me, and let the dead bury their own dead.”

Wind and Wave Obey Jesus^(P)

²³ Now when He got into a boat, His disciples followed Him. ^24 (Q)And suddenly a great tempest arose on the sea, so that the boat was covered with the waves. But He was asleep. ²⁵ Then His disciples came to Him and awoke Him, saying, “Lord, save us! We are perishing!”

²⁶ But He said to them, “Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?” Then ^(R)He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. ²⁷ So the men marveled, saying, ^[b]“Who can this be, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?”

⁶ Then he came to the ram that had two horns, which I had seen standing beside the river, and ran at him with furious power. ⁷ And I saw him confronting the ram; he was moved with rage against him, ^[a]attacked the ram, and broke his two horns. There was no power in the ram to withstand him, but he cast him down to the ground and trampled him; and there was no one that could deliver the ram from his hand.

⁸ Therefore the male goat grew very great; but when he became strong, the large horn was broken, and in place of it ^(A)four notable ones came up toward the four winds of heaven. ^9 (B)And out of one of them came a little horn which grew exceedingly great toward the south, ^(C)toward the east, and toward the ^(D)Glorious Land. ^10 (E)And it grew up to ^(F)the host of heaven; and ^(G)it cast down some of the host and some of the stars to the ground, and trampled them. ^11 (H)He even exalted himself as high as ^(I)the Prince of the host; ^(J)and by him ^(K)the daily sacrifices were taken away, and the place of ^[b]His sanctuary was cast down. ¹² Because of transgression, ^(L)an army was given over to the horn to oppose the daily sacrifices; and he cast ^(M)truth down to the ground. He ^(N)did all this and prospered.

¹³ Then I heard ^(O)a holy one speaking; and another holy one said to that certain one who was speaking, “How long will the vision be, concerning the daily sacrifices and the transgression ^[c]of desolation, the giving of both the sanctuary and the host to be trampled underfoot?”

¹⁴ And he said to me, “For two thousand three hundred ^[d]days; then the sanctuary shall be cleansed.”

Gabriel Interprets the Vision

¹⁵ Then it happened, when I, Daniel, had seen the vision and ^(P)was seeking the meaning, that suddenly there stood before me ^(Q)one having the appearance of a man. ¹⁶ And I heard a man’s voice ^(R)between the banks of the Ulai, who called, and said, ^(S)“Gabriel, make this man understand the vision.” ¹⁷ So he came near where I stood, and when he came I was afraid and ^(T)fell on my face; but he said to me, “Understand, son of man, that the vision refers to the time of the end.”

^18 (U)Now, as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep with my face to the ground; ^(V)but he touched me, and stood me upright. ¹⁹ And he said, “Look, I am making known to you what shall happen in the latter time of the indignation; ^(W)for at the appointed time the end shall be. ²⁰ The ram which you saw, having the two horns—they are the kings of Media and Persia. ²¹ And the ^[e]male goat is the ^[f]kingdom of Greece. The large horn that is between its eyes ^(X)is the first king. ^22 (Y)As for the broken horn and the four that stood up in its place, four kingdoms shall arise out of that nation, but not with its power.

^27 (AI)And I, Daniel, fainted and was sick for days; afterward I arose and went about the king’s business. I was ^[k]astonished by the vision, but no one understood it.
