Heals  a  Leper  When  he  came  down  from  the  mountain,  great  crowds  followed  him.  And  behold,  a  leper  came  to  him  and  knelt  before  him,  saying,  “Lord,  if  you  will,  you  can  make  me  clean.”  And  Jesus  stretched  out  his  hand  and  touched  him,  saying,  “I  will;  be  clean.”  And  immediately  his  leprosy  was  cleansed.  And  Jesus  said  to  him,  “See  that  you  say  nothing  to  anyone,  but  go,  show  yourself  to  the  priest  and  offer  the  giR  that  Moses  commanded,  for  a  proof  to  them.”

Heals  Centurion’s  Servant  When  he  had  entered  Capernaum,  a  centurion  came  forward  to  him,  appealing  to  him,  “Lord,  my  servant  is  lying  paralyzed  at  home,  suffering  terribly.”  And  he  said  to  him,  “I  will  come  and  heal  him.”  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.  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,  ‘Do  this,’  and  he  does  it.”

When  Jesus  heard  this,  he  marveled  and  said  to  those  who  followed  him,  “Truly,  I  tell  you,  with  no  one  in  Israel  have  I  found  such  faith.  I  tell  you,  many  will  come  from  east  and  west  and  recline  at  table  with  Abraham,  Isaac,  and  Jacob  in  the  kingdom  of  heaven,  while  the  sons  of  the  kingdom  will  be  thrown  into  the  outer  darkness.  In  that  place  there  will  be  weeping  and  gnashing  of  teeth.”  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.

The  apostles  returned  to  Jesus  and  told  him  all  that  they  had  done  and  taught.  And  he  said  to  them,  “Come  away  by  yourselves  to  a  desolate  place  and  rest  a  while.”  For  many  were  coming  and  going,  and  they  had  no  leisure  even  to  eat.    And  they  went  away  in  the  boat  to  a  desolate  place  by  themselves.  Now  many  saw  them  going  and  recognized  them,  and  they  ran  there  on  foot  from  all  the  towns  and  got  there  ahead  of  them.  When  he  went  ashore  he  saw  a  great  crowd,  and  he  had  compassion  on  them,  because  they  were  like  sheep  without  a  shepherd.  And  he  began  to  teach  them  many  things.    

Page 11: Jesus Demonstrated The Kingdom Slides, 4/28/13

And  when  it  grew  late,  his  disciples  came  to  him  and  said,  “This  is  a  desolate  place,  and  the  hour  is  now  late.  Send  them  away  to  go  into  the  surrounding  countryside  and  villages  and  buy  themselves  something  to  eat.”  But  he  answered  them,  “You  give  them  something  to  eat.”  And  they  said  to  him,  “Shall  we  go  and  buy  two  hundred  denarii  worth  of  bread  and  give  it  to  them  to  eat?”  And  he  said  to  them,  “How  many  loaves  do  you  have?  Go  and  see.”  And  when  they  had  found  out,  they  said,  “Five,  and  two  fish.”  Then  he  commanded  them  all  to  sit  down  in  groups  on  the  green  grass.  So  they  sat  down  in  groups,  by  hundreds  and  by  fiRies.    

Page 12: Jesus Demonstrated The Kingdom Slides, 4/28/13

And  taking  the  five  loaves  and  the  two  fish  he  looked  up  to  heaven  and  said  a  blessing  and  broke  the  loaves  and  gave  them  to  the  disciples  to  set  before  the  people.  And  he  divided  the  two  fish  among  them  all.    And  they  all  ate  and  were  sa5sfied.  And  they  took  up  twelve  baskets  full  of  broken  pieces  and  of  the  fish.    And  those  who  ate  the  loaves  were  five  thousand  men.
