Mateus 9

2 Nā, ka kawea mai e rātou ki a ia tētahi pararūtiki, e takoto ana i runga i te moenga; nō te kitenga o Īhu i tō rātou whakapono ka mea ia ki te pararūtiki, "E tama, kia māia; ka oti ōu hara te muru."

3 Nā, ka mea ētahi o ngā karaipi ki a rātou anō, "E kohukohu ana tēnei tangata!"

4 Ā, ka kite a Īhu i ō rātou whakaaro, ka mea ia, "He aha i kino ai ngā whakaaro o roto o ō koutou ngākau? 5 Ko tēhea oti te mea takoto noa, ko te mea, ‘Ka oti ōu hara te muru,’ ko te mea rānei, ‘Whakatika, haere’? 6 Otirā, kia mātau ai koutou he mana muru hara tō te Tama a te tangata i runga i te whenua." Kātahi, ia ka mea ki te pararūtiki, "Whakatika, tangohia ake tōu moenga, ā, haere ki tōu whare."

7 Nā, whakatika ana ia, haere ana ki tōna whare.
