1 And He entered into the ship and passed over, and
came to his own city:
2 and behold, they brought to
Him one that had the palsy laid on a couch: and Jesus
seeing their faith said to the paralytic, Take heart my
son, for thy sins are forgiven thee. note
3 Upon which,
some of the scribes said in themselves, This man blasphemeth:
note but Jesus knowing their surmises,
4 said to
them, Why think ye evil in your hearts?
5 For which is
easier? To say, thy sins be forgiven thee? or to say,
rise up and walk?
6 but that ye may know that the Son
of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, Arise (saith
-- --
He then to the paralytic) and take up thy couch, and go
away to thy house.
7 And he rose up and went away to
his own house.
8 But when the multitudes saw it, they
were amazed, and glorified God, who had given such
power to men.
9 And as Jesus was passing from thence,
He saw a man sitting at the custom-house, named Matthew;
and He saith to him, Follow me: and he rose
up and followed Him.
10 And note as He was sitting at table in the house note of
Matthew, behold, several publicans and notorious sinners
came and sat down with Jesus and his disciples.
11 And
when the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples,
Why doth your master eat with publicans and sinners?
12 But Jesus hearing them, said unto them, They that are
in health need not a physician, but they that are ill: go note
therefore and learn what that means,
13 “ note I desire mercy
note rather than sacrifice:” for I came not to call the righteous,
but sinners, to repentance.
14 Then also come to
Him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the
pharisees fast much, but thy disciples do not fast?
15 And
Jesus said unto them, Can the note friends of the bridegroom
mourn, while the bridegroom is with them? but
the days will come when the bridegroom shall be taken
from them, and then they will fast. note
16 As no one putteth
note a piece of new cloth to an old garment; for its
new patch teareth away from the old garment, and the
rent is made worse:
17 nor do they put new wine into old
note vessels; note otherwise, the casks burst, and the wine is
spilt, and the vessels are destroyed: but they put new
wine into new vessels, and both are preserved.
18 As He was speaking these things to them, behold there
came a ruler and note worshipped Him, saying, My daughter
is note note at the point of death: but come, I pray Thee, and
put thy hand upon her, and she shall live:
19 and Jesus
rose up, and followed him; as did also his disciples.
20 (And lo, a woman note who had had a flux of blood for
twelve years, came close behind Him, and touched the
hem of his garment:
21 for she said within herself, If I
can but touch his garment, I shall be cured.
22 And Jesus
turning about, and seeing her, said, Daughter be comforted,
-- --
thy faith hath cured thee. And from that time
the woman was healed.)
23 And when Jesus came into
the ruler's house, and saw the note musicians, and the people
in confusion;
24 He saith unto them, Retire; for the
note child is not dead, but asleep. And they laughed at
Him.
25 But when the people were put out, He went in
and took hold of her hand, and the damsel rose up.
26 And
the note fame of it note spread over all note the country.
27 And as Jesus was going from thence, two blind men
followed Him, crying out and saying, Have compassion
on us, O Son of David.
28 And when He was come into
the house, the blind men came to Him: and Jesus saith
unto them, Do ye believe that I am able to do this?
and they say unto Him, Yes Lord.
29 Then he touched
their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it done
unto you: and their eyes were opened.
30 And Jesus
strictly charged them, saying, note Do not divulge it: but
31 they went out and spread his fame through all that
country.
32 And as they were going out, note there was
brought to Him a dumb man, a demoniac:
33 and when
the demon was cast out, the dumb man spake; and the
multitudes were amazed, saying, there had never been
seen note the like in Israel:
34 but the pharisees said, he casts
out devils by the prince of the devils.
35 Now Jesus went round to all the cities, and the villages,
teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the
gospel of the kingdom note of heaven, and healing every
disease, and every malady among the people.
36 And when
He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion
towards them; because they were dispersed and scattered
like sheep that have no shepherd:
37 note upon which He saith
to his disciples, The harvest indeed is plentiful, but the
laborers few:
38 therefore pray to the Lord of the harvest,
that He would send out laborers into his harvest.
