1 And getting into a boat he crossed over and came to his own city.2 And behold, they brought to him a paralytic, lying on his bed; and when Jesus saw their faith he said to the paralytic, "Take heart, my son; your sins are forgiven."3 And behold, some of the scribes said to themselves, "This man is blaspheming."4 But Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, "Why do you think evil in your hearts?5 For which is easier, to say, `Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, `Rise and walk'?6 But that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins"--he then said to the paralytic--"Rise, take up your bed and go home."7 And he rose and went home.8 When the crowds saw it, they were afraid, and they glorified God, who had given such authority to men.9 As Jesus passed on from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax office; and he said to him, "Follow me." And he rose and followed him.10 And as he sat at table in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with Jesus and his disciples.11 And when the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?"12 But when he heard it, he said, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.13 Go and learn what this means, `I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.' For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners."14 Then the disciples of John came to him, saying, "Why do we and the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?"15 And Jesus said to them, "Can the wedding guests mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? The days will come, when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast.16 And no one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch tears away from the garment, and a worse tear is made.17 Neither is new wine put into old wineskins; if it is, the skins burst, and the wine is spilled, and the skins are destroyed; but new wine is put into fresh wineskins, and so both are preserved."18 While he was thus speaking to them, behold, a ruler came in and knelt before him, saying, "My daughter has just died; but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live."19 And Jesus rose and followed him, with his disciples.20 And behold, a woman who had suffered from a hemorrhage for twelve years came up behind him and touched the fringe of his garment;21 for she said to herself, "If I only touch his garment, I shall be made well."22 Jesus turned, and seeing her he said, "Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well." And instantly the woman was made well.23 And when Jesus came to the ruler's house, and saw the flute players, and the crowd making a tumult,24 he said, "Depart; for the girl is not dead but sleeping." And they laughed at him.25 But when the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took her by the hand, and the girl arose.26 And the report of this went through all that district.27 And as Jesus passed on from there, two blind men followed him, crying aloud, "Have mercy on us, Son of David."28 When he entered the house, the blind men came to him; and Jesus said to them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?" They said to him, "Yes, Lord."29 Then he touched their eyes, saying, "According to your faith be it done to you."30 And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly charged them, "See that no one knows it."31 But they went away and spread his fame through all that district.32 As they were going away, behold, a dumb demoniac was brought to him.33 And when the demon had been cast out, the dumb man spoke; and the crowds marveled, saying, "Never was anything like this seen in Israel."34 But the Pharisees said, "He casts out demons by the prince of demons."35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every infirmity.36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.37 Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few;38 pray therefore the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest."
