1 And
he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into his own city.
2 And,
behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and
Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son,
be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.
3 And,
behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man
blasphemeth.
4 And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore
think ye evil in your hearts?
5 For
whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say,
Arise, and walk?
6 But that ye may
know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then
saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up
thy bed, and go unto thine house.
7 And he arose, and
departed to his house.
8
But when the multitudes saw it,
they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men.
9 And
as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at
the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow
me. And he arose, and followed him.
10 And it came to
pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and
sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.
11 And
when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth
your Master with publicans and sinners?
12 But when Jesus heard that,
he said unto them, They that be whole need not a
physician, but they that are sick.
13 But
go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not
sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to
repentance.
14 Then
came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees
fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?
15 And Jesus said unto
them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as
long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the
bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast.
16
No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is
put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse.
17 Neither
do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine
runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new
bottles, and both are preserved.
18 While
he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and
worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy
hand upon her, and she shall live.
19 And Jesus arose, and
followed him, and so did his disciples.
20 And, behold, a
woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind
him, and touched the hem of his garment:
21 For she said
within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.
22 But
Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter,
be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman
was made whole from that hour.
23 And when Jesus came into the
rulers house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise,
24 He
said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not
dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.
25 But
when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and
the maid arose.
26 And the fame hereof went abroad into all that
land.
27 And
when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and
saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us.
28 And when
he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith
unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this?
They said unto him, Yea, Lord.
29 Then touched he their eyes,
saying, According to your faith be it unto you.
30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them,
saying, See that no man know it.
31 But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in
all that country.
32 As they went out, behold, they brought to
him a dumb man possessed with a devil.
33 And when the devil was
cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was
never so seen in Israel.
34 But the Pharisees said, He casteth
out devils through the prince of the devils.
35 And
Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their
synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every
sickness and every disease among the people.
36 But when he saw
the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they
fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.
37 Then
saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is
plenteous, but the labourers are few;
38 Pray
ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers
into his harvest.
