Bible Verses About Capernaum

Moved with pity, Yeshua reached out his hand, touched him and said to him, "I am willing! Be cleansed!"

Instantly the tzara`at left him, and he was cleansed.

Yeshua sent him away with this stern warning:

"See to it that you tell no one; instead, as a testimony to the people, go and let the cohen examine you, and offer for your cleansing what Moshe commanded."

But he went out and began spreading the news, talking freely about it; so that Yeshua could no longer enter a town openly but stayed out in the country, where people continued coming to him from all around.

Yeshua went again into a synagogue, and a man with a shriveled hand was there.

Looking for a reason to accuse him of something, people watched him carefully to see if he would heal him on Shabbat.

He said to the man with the shriveled hand, "Come up where we can see you!"

Then to them he said, "What is permitted on Shabbat? Doing good or doing evil? Saving life or killing?" But they said nothing.

Then, looking them over and feeling both anger with them and sympathy for them at the stoniness of their hearts, he said to the man, "Hold out your hand." As he held it out, it became restored.

The P'rushim went out and immediately began plotting with some members of Herod's party how to do away with him.

When Yeshua had finished speaking to the people, he went back to K'far-Nachum.

A Roman army officer there had a servant he regarded highly, who was sick to the point of death.

Hearing about Yeshua, the officer sent some Jewish elders to him with the request that he come and heal his servant.

They came to Yeshua and pleaded earnestly with him, "He really deserves to have you do this,

for he loves our people -- in fact, he built the synagogue for us!"

So Yeshua went with them. He had not gone far from the house, when the officer sent friends who said to him, "Sir, don't trouble yourself. I'm not worthy to have you come under my roof --

this is why I didn't presume to approach you myself. Instead, just give a command and let my servant recover.

For I too am a man set under authority. I have soldiers under me; and I say to this one, `Go!' and he goes; and to another, `Come!' and he comes; and to my slave, `Do this!' and he does it."

Yeshua was astonished at him when he heard this; and he turned and said to the crowd following him, "I tell you, not even in Isra'el have I found such trust!"

When the messengers got back to the officer's house, they found the servant in good health.

He went again to Kanah in the Galil, where he had turned the water into wine. An officer in the royal service was there; his son was ill in K’far-Nachum.

This man, on hearing that Yeshua had come from Y’hudah to the Galil, went and asked him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death.

Yeshua answered, “Unless you people see signs and miracles, you simply will not trust!”

The officer said to him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.”
