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 He entered into a boat and crossed over, and came into his own city. 2 Behold, they brought to him a man who was paralyzed, lying on a bed. Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, "Son, cheer up! Your sins are forgiven you."

3 Behold, some of the scribes said to themselves, "This man blasphemes."

4 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, ‘Get up, and walk?’ 6 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins—" (then he said to the paralytic), "Get up, and take up your mat, and go to your house."

7 He arose and departed to his house. 8 But when the multitudes saw it, they marveled and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.

9 As Jesus passed by from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax collection office. He said to him, "Follow me." He got up and followed him. 10 As he sat in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with Jesus and his disciples. 11 When the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?"

12 When Jesus heard it, he said to them, "Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do. 13 But you go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."

14 Then John’s disciples came to him, saying, "Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples don’t fast?"

15 Jesus said to them, "Can the friends of the bridegroom mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast. 16 No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for the patch would tear away from the garment, and a worse hole is made. 17 Neither do people put new wine into old wine skins, or else the skins would burst, and the wine be spilled, and the skins ruined. No, they put new wine into fresh wine skins, and both are preserved."

18 While he told these things to them, behold, a ruler came and worshiped him, saying, "My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live."

19 Jesus got up and followed him, as did his disciples. 20 Behold, a woman who had a discharge of blood for twelve years came behind him, and touched the fringe of his garment; 21 for she said within herself, "If I just touch his garment, I will be made well."

22 But Jesus, turning around and seeing her, said, "Daughter, cheer up! Your faith has made you well." And the woman was made well from that hour.

23 When Jesus came into the ruler’s house and saw the flute players and the crowd in noisy disorder, 24 he said to them, "Make room, because the girl isn’t dead, but sleeping."

They were ridiculing him. 25 But when the crowd was sent out, he entered in, took her by the hand, and the girl arose. 26 The report of this went out into all that land.

27 As Jesus passed by from there, two blind men followed him, calling out and saying, "Have mercy on us, son of David!" 28 When he had come into the house, the blind men came to him. Jesus said to them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?"

They told him, "Yes, Lord."

29 Then he touched their eyes, saying, "According to your faith be it done to you." 30 Then their eyes were opened. Jesus strictly commanded them, saying, "See that no one knows about this." 31 But they went out and spread abroad his fame in all that land.

32 As they went out, behold, a mute man who was demon possessed was brought to him. 33 When the demon was cast out, the mute man spoke. The multitudes marveled, saying, "Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!"

34 But the Pharisees said, "By the prince of the demons, he casts out demons."

35 Jesus went about all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the Good News of the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness among the people. 36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them because they were harassed and scattered, like sheep without a shepherd. 37 Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest indeed is plentiful, but the laborers are few. 38 Pray therefore that the Lord of the harvest will send out laborers into his harvest."
