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. Yeshua, 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 Yeshua, 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 Yeshua 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 Yeshua and his disciples. 11 When the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, "Why does your rabbi eat with tax collectors and sinners?"

12 When Yeshua 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 Yochanan’s disciples came to him, saying, "Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples don’t fast?"

15 Yeshua 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 Yeshua 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 Yeshua, 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 Yeshua 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 Yeshua 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. Yeshua 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. Yeshua 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 Yeshua went about all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming 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."

1 Then having gone aboard the bark, he repassed, and went to his own city;2 where they brought to him a paralytic, laid upon a bed. Jesus perceiving their faith, said to the paralytic, Son, take courage, your sins are forgiven you.3 On which some of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemes.4 But Jesus knowing their sentiments, said, Why do you harbor evil thoughts?5 Which is easier-to say, Your sins are forgiven; or to say, with effect -Arise and walk?6 But that you may know that the Son of Man has power upon the earth to forgive sins; Arise, then, (said he to the paralytic,) take up your bed and go home.7 Accordingly he arose, and went home.8 And the people saw and wondered, glorifying God, who had given such power to men.9 As Jesus departed thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the toll office; to whom he said, Follow me. And he arose and followed him.10 Afterward Jesus being at table in a house, many publicans and sinners came, and placed themselves with him and his disciples.11 Some of the Pharisees observing this, said to his disciples, Why does your teacher eat with publicans and sinners?12 Jesus hearing them, answered, The whole need not a physician, but the sick.13 «Go, therefore, and learn what this means,» 'I desire humanity, and not sacrifice:' 'for I came to call, not the righteous, but sinners.'14 Then John's disciples addressing him, said, We and the Pharisees often fast: why do your disciples never fast?15 Jesus answered, Can the bridesmen mourn while the bridegroom is with them? But the time will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then they will fast.16 No person mends an old garment with undressed cloth; else the patch itself tears the garment, and makes a greater rent.17 Neither do people put new wine into old leather bottles; otherwise the bottles burst: and thus, both the wine is spilt, and the bottles are rendered useless. But they put new wine into new bottles, and bother are preserved.18 While he was speaking, a ruler came, and prostrating himself, said, My daughter is by this time dead; but come, and lay your hand upon her, and she will revive.19 And Jesus arose, and, as he followed him, with his disciples,20 a woman, who had been twelve years afflicted with a bloody issue, coming behind, touched the tuft of his mantle;21 for she said within herself, If I but touch his mantle, I shall recover.22 Jesus turning about, saw her, and said, Daughter, take courage, your faith has cured you. And the woman was well from that instant.23 Being come into the ruler's house, and seeing the players on the flute, with the crowd, making a bustle,24 he said to them, Withdraw, for the young woman is not dead, but asleep. And they derided him:25 but when the people were put out, he entered, and having taken her by the hand, the young woman arose.26 Now the fame of this action spread through all the country.27 When Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, Son of David, have pity upon us.28 Being come into the house, the blind men approached him: and Jesus said to them, Do you believe I can do this? They answered, Yes, Master.29 Then he touched their eyes, saying, Be it to you according to your faith.30 Immediately their eyes were opened. And Jesus strictly charging them, said, Take care that no person know it.31 But being departed, they spread his fame through all that country.32 They were scarcely gone, when a dumb demoniac was presented to him.33 The demon being expelled, the dumb spoke, and the people wondered, saying, Nothing like this was ever seen in Israel.34 But the Pharisees said, He expels the demons by the prince of the demons.35 Then Jesus went through all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the glad tidings of the Reign, and curing every disease and every malady.36 But when he saw the multitudes, he had compassion upon them, because they were scattered and exposed, like a flock without a shepherd.37 Then he said to his disciples, The harvest is plentiful, but the reapers are few:38 entreat, therefore, the Lord of the harvest, that he would send laborers to reap it.
