1 Jesus entrou numa barca, atravessou para o outro lado e foi à sua cidade.

2 Trouxeram-lhe um paralítico, deitado em um leito. Vendo Jesus a fé que eles tinham, disse ao paralítico: Tem ânimo, filho; perdoados são os teus pecados.

3 Alguns escribas disseram consigo: Este homem blasfema.

4 Mas Jesus, conhecendo-lhes os pensamentos, disse: Por que pensais mal nos vossos corações?

5 Pois qual é mais fácil, dizer: Perdoados são os teus pecados, ou dizer: Levanta-te, e anda?

6 Para que saibais que o Filho do homem tem sobre a terra autoridade para perdoar pecados-disse então ao paralítico: Levanta-te, toma o teu leito e vai para tua casa.

7 Ele se levantou e foi para sua casa.

8 Vendo isto as multidões, temeram e glorificaram a Deus, que dera tal autoridade aos homens.

9 Jesus, partindo dali, viu um homem chamado Mateus, sentado na coletoria, e disse-lhe: Segue-me. Ele se levantou e o seguiu.

10 Estando ele à mesa em casa, vieram muitos publicanos e pecadores e sentaram-se com Jesus e com seus discípulos.

11 Os fariseus, vendo isto, perguntavam aos discípulos: Por que come o vosso Mestre com os publicanos e pecadores?

12 Mas Jesus, ouvindo-o, disse: Os sãos não precisam de médico, mas sim os enfermos.

13 Porém ide aprender o que significa: Misericórdia quero, e não holocaustos; pois não vim chamar os justos, mas os pecadores.

14 Depois o procuraram os discípulos de João, e lhe perguntaram: Por que é que nós e os fariseus jejuamos, mas teus discípulos não jejuam?

15 Respondeu-lhes Jesus: Podem, porventura, estar tristes os convidados para o casamento, enquanto o noivo está com eles? porém dias virão, em que lhes será tirado o noivo, e nesses dias jejuarão.

16 Ninguém põe remendo de pano novo em vestido velho; porque o remendo tira parte do vestido, e fica maior a rotura.

17 Nem se põe vinho novo em odres velhos; de outro modo arrebentam os odres, e derrama-se o vinho, e estragam-se os odres. Mas vinho novo é posto em odres novos, e ambos se conservam. filha de Jairo

18 Enquanto assim lhes falava, veio um chefe da sinagoga e adorava-o, dizendo: Neste momento acaba de expirar minha filha; mas vem, põe a tua mão sobre ela, e viverá.

19 Jesus, levantando-se, o foi seguindo com seus discípulos.

20 Uma mulher, padecendo há doze anos de uma hemorragia, veio por detrás dele e tocou-lhe a fímbria da capa;

21 porque dizia consigo: Se eu lhe tocar somente a capa, ficarei curada.

22 Jesus, voltando-se e vendo-a, disse: Tem ânimo, filha; a tua fé te sarou. Desde aquela hora a mulher ficou sã.

23 Quando Jesus chegou à casa do chefe da sinagoga, vendo os tocadores de flauta, e a multidão em alvoroço,

24 disse: Retirai-vos; pois a menina não está morta, mas sim dormindo. Riam-se dele.

25 Mas retirada a multidão, entrou Jesus, tomou a menina pela mão, e ela se levantou.

26 A fama deste fato correu por toda aquela terra.

27 Saindo Jesus dali, seguiram-no dois cegos, clamando: Tem compaixão de nós, filho de Davi!

28 Tendo ele entrado em casa, vieram a ele os cegos; Jesus perguntou-lhes: Credes que posso fazer isso? Responderam eles: Cremos, Senhor.

29 Então lhes tocou os olhos, dizendo: Faça-se-vos conforme a vossa fé.

30 Abriram-se-lhes os olhos. Jesus advertiu-lhes com energia, dizendo: Vede que ninguém o saiba.

31 Eles, porém, saíram e lhe divulgaram a fama por toda aquela terra.

32 Quando se retiravam, foi-lhe trazido um mudo endemoninhado.

33 Expulso o demônio, falou o mudo; e a multidão maravilhou-se, dizendo: Nunca tal se viu em Israel!

34 Mas os fariseus afirmavam: É pelo príncipe dos demônios que ele expele os demônios.

35 Jesus percorria todas as cidades e aldeias, ensinando nas sinagogas, pregando o Evangelho do reino e curando todas as doenças e enfermidades.

36 Vendo ele as turbas, compadeceu-se delas, porque estavam aflitas e exaustas como ovelhas sem pastor.

37 Então disse a seus discípulos: A seara, na verdade, é grande, mas os trabalhadores são poucos;

38 rogai, pois, ao Senhor da seara, que envie trabalhadores para a sua seara.

1 And he got into a boat and went across and came to his town.

2 And they took to him a man stretched on a bed who had no power of moving; and Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the man who was ill, Son, take heart; you have forgiveness for your sins.

3 And some of the scribes said among themselves, This man has no respect for God.

4 And Jesus, having knowledge of what was in their minds, said, Why are your thoughts evil?

5 For which is the simpler, to say, You have forgiveness for your sins; or to say, Get up and go?

6 But so that you may see that on earth the Son of man has authority for the forgiveness of sins, (then said he to the man who was ill,) Get up, and take up your bed, and go to your house.

7 And he got up and went away to his house.

8 But when the people saw it they were full of fear, and gave glory to God who had given such authority to men.

9 And when Jesus was going from there, he saw a man whose name was Matthew, seated at the place where taxes were taken; and he said to him, Come after me. And he got up and went after him.

10 And it came about, when he was in the house taking food, that a number of tax-farmers and sinners came and took their places with Jesus and his disciples.

11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, Why does your Master take food with tax-farmers and sinners?

12 But on hearing this he said, Those who are well have no need of a medical man, but those who are ill.

13 But go and take to heart the sense of these words, My desire is for mercy, not offerings: for I have come not to get the upright, but sinners.

14 Then the disciples of John came to him, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees frequently go without food, but your disciples do not?

15 And Jesus said to them, Will the friends of the newly-married man be sad as long as he is with them? But the days will come when he will be taken away from them, and then will they go without food.

16 And no man puts a bit of new cloth on an old coat, for by pulling away from the old, it makes a worse hole.

17 And men do not put new wine into old wine-skins; or the skins will be burst and the wine will come out, and the skins are of no more use: but they put new wine into new wine-skins, and so the two will be safe.

18 While he was saying these things to them, there came a ruler and gave him worship, saying, My daughter is even now dead; but come and put your hand on her, and she will come back to life.

19 And Jesus got up and went after him, and so did his disciples.

20 And a woman, who for twelve years had had a flow of blood, came after him, and put her hand on the edge of his robe:

21 Because, she said to herself, if I may but put my hand on his robe, I will be made well.

22 But Jesus, turning and seeing her, said, Daughter, take heart; your faith has made you well. And the woman was made well from that hour.

23 And when Jesus came into the ruler's house and saw the players with their instruments and the people making a noise,

24 He said, Make room; for the girl is not dead, but sleeping. And they were laughing at him.

25 But when the people were sent out, he went in and took her by the hand; and the girl got up.

26 And the news of it went out into all that land.

27 And when Jesus went on from there, two blind men came after him, crying out, Have mercy on us, you Son of David.

28 And when he had come into the house, the blind men came to him; and Jesus said to them, Have you faith that I am able to do this? They said to him, Yes, Lord.

29 Then he put his hand on their eyes, saying, As your faith is, let it be done to you.

30 And their eyes were made open. And Jesus said to them sharply, Let no man have knowledge of it.

31 But they went out and gave news of him in all that land.

32 And while they were going away, there came to him a man without the power of talking, and with an evil spirit.

33 And when the evil spirit had been sent out, the man had the power of talking: and they were all surprised, saying, Such a thing has never been seen in Israel.

34 But the Pharisees said, By the ruler of evil spirits, he sends evil spirits out of men.

35 And Jesus went about all the towns and small places, teaching in their Synagogues and preaching the good news of the kingdom and making well all sorts of disease and pain.

36 But when he saw all the people he was moved with pity for them, because they were troubled and wandering like sheep without a keeper.

37 Then he said to his disciples, There is much grain but not enough men to get it in.

38 Make prayer, then, to the Lord of the grain-fields, that he may send out workers to get in his grain.
