¹ And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into his own city.

² And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.

³ And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth.

⁴ And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?

⁵ For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk?

⁶ But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.

⁷ And he arose, and departed to his house.

⁸ But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men.

⁹ And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.

¹⁰ And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.

¹¹ And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?

¹² But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.

¹³ But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

¹⁴ Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?

¹⁵ And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast.

¹⁶ No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse.

¹⁷ Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.

¹⁸ While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.

¹⁹ And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples.

²⁰ And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment:

²¹ For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.

²² But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.

²³ And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise,

²⁴ He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.

²⁵ But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose.

²⁶ And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.

²⁷ And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou son of David, have mercy on us.

²⁸ And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord.

²⁹ Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.

³⁰ And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it.

³¹ But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country.

³² As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil.

³³ And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.

³⁴ But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils.

³⁵ And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.

³⁶ But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.

³⁷ Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;

³⁸ Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.

¹ And ^G2532 he entered ^G1684 into ^G1519 a ship, ^G4143 and passed over, ^G1276 and ^G2532 came ^G2064 into ^G1519 his own ^G2398 city. ^G4172

² And, ^G2532 behold, ^G2400 they brought ^G4374 to him ^G846 a man sick of the palsy, ^G3885 lying ^G906 on ^G1909 a bed: ^G2825 and ^G2532 Jesus ^G2424 seeing ^G1492 their ^G846 faith ^G4102 said ^G2036 unto the sick of the palsy; ^G3885 Son, ^G5043 be of good cheer; ^G2293 thy ^G4675 sins ^G266 be forgiven ^G863 thee. ^G4671

³ And, ^G2532 behold, ^G2400 certain ^G5100 of the scribes ^G1122 said ^G2036 within ^G1722 themselves, ^G1438 This ^G3778 man blasphemeth. ^G987

⁴ And ^G2532 Jesus ^G2424 knowing ^G1492 their ^G846 thoughts ^G1761 said, ^G2036 Wherefore ^G2444 think ^G1760 ye ^G5210 evil ^G4190 in ^G1722 your ^G5216 hearts? ^G2588

⁵ For ^G1063 whether ^G5101 is ^G2076 easier, ^G2123 to say, ^G2036 Thy sins ^G266 be forgiven ^G863 thee; ^G4671 or ^G2228 to say, ^G2036 Arise, ^G1453 and ^G2532 walk? ^G4043

⁶ But ^G1161 that ^G2443 ye may know ^G1492 that ^G3754 the Son ^G5207 of man ^G444 hath ^G2192 power ^G1849 on ^G1909 earth ^G1093 to forgive ^G863 sins, ^G266 (then ^G5119 saith he ^G3004 to the sick of the palsy,) ^G3885 Arise, ^G1453 take up ^G142 thy ^G4675 bed, ^G2825 and ^G2532 go ^G5217 unto ^G1519 thine ^G4675 house. ^G3624

⁷ And ^G2532 he arose, ^G1453 and departed ^G565 to ^G1519 his ^G846 house. ^G3624

⁸ But ^G1161 when the multitudes ^G3793 saw ^G1492 it, they marvelled, ^G2296 and ^G2532 glorified ^G1392 God, ^G2316 which ^G3588 had given ^G1325 such ^G5108 power ^G1849 unto men. ^G444

⁹ And as ^G2532 Jesus ^G2424 passed forth ^G3855 from thence, ^G1564 he saw ^G1492 a man, ^G444 named ^G3004 Matthew, ^G3156 sitting ^G2521 at ^G1909 the receipt of custom: ^G5058 and ^G2532 he saith ^G3004 unto him, ^G846 Follow ^G190 me. ^G3427 And ^G2532 he arose, ^G450 and followed ^G190 him. ^G846

¹⁰ And ^G2532 it came to pass, ^G1096 as Jesus ^G2424 sat at meat ^G345 in ^G1722 the house, ^{G3614 G2532} behold, ^G2400 many ^G4183 publicans ^G5057 and ^G2532 sinners ^G268 came ^G2064 and sat down ^G4873 with him ^G846 and ^G2532 his ^G846 disciples. ^G3101

¹¹ And ^G2532 when the Pharisees ^G5330 saw ^G1492 it, they said ^G2036 unto his ^G846 disciples, ^G3101 Why ^G1302 eateth ^G2068 your ^G5216 Master ^G1320 with ^G3326 publicans ^G5057 and ^G2532 sinners? ^G268

¹² But ^G1161 when Jesus ^G2424 heard ^G191 that, he said ^G2036 unto them, ^G846 They that be ^G2192 whole ^G2480 need ^G5532 not ^G3756 a physician, ^G2395 but ^G235 they that are ^G2192 sick. ^G2560

¹³ But ^G1161 go ye ^G4198 and learn ^G3129 what ^G5101 that meaneth, ^G2076 I will ^G2309 have mercy, ^G1656 and ^G2532 not ^G3756 sacrifice: ^G2378 for ^G1063 I am ^G2064 not ^G3756 come ^G2064 to call ^G2564 the righteous, ^G1342 but ^G235 sinners ^G268 to ^G1519 repentance. ^G3341

¹⁴ Then ^G5119 came ^G4334 to him ^G846 the disciples ^G3101 of John, ^G2491 saying, ^G3004 Why ^G1302 do we ^G2249 and ^G2532 the Pharisees ^G5330 fast ^G3522 oft, ^G4183 but ^G1161 thy ^G4675 disciples ^G3101 fast ^G3522 not? ^G3756

¹⁵ And ^G2532 Jesus ^G2424 said ^G2036 unto them, ^G846 Can ^{G3361 G1410} the children ^G5207 of the bridechamber ^G3567 mourn, ^G3996 as long as ^{G1909 G3745} the bridegroom ^G3566 is ^G2076 with ^G3326 them? ^G846 but ^G1161 the days ^G2250 will come, ^G2064 when ^G3752 the bridegroom ^G3566 shall be taken ^G522 from ^G575 them, ^G846 and ^G2532 then ^G5119 shall they fast. ^G3522

^{16 G1161} No man ^G3762 putteth ^G1911 a piece ^G1915 of new ^G46 cloth ^G4470 unto ^G1909 an old ^G3820 garment, ^G2440 for ^G1063 that which is put in to fill it up ^G4138 taketh ^{G142 G846} from ^G575 the garment, ^G2440 and ^G2532 the rent ^G4978 is made ^G1096 worse. ^G5501

¹⁷ Neither ^G3761 do men put ^G906 new ^G3501 wine ^G3631 into ^G1519 old ^G3820 bottles: ^G779 else ^G1490 the bottles ^G779 break, ^G4486 and ^G2532 the wine ^G3631 runneth out, ^G1632 and ^G2532 the bottles ^G779 perish: ^G622 but ^G235 they put ^G906 new ^G3501 wine ^G3631 into ^G1519 new ^G2537 bottles, ^G779 and ^G2532 both ^G297 are preserved. ^G4933

¹⁸ While he ^G846 spake ^G2980 these things ^G5023 unto them, ^G846 behold, ^G2400 there came ^G2064 a certain ^G1520 ruler, ^G758 and worshipped ^G4352 him, ^G846 saying, ^{G3004 G3754} My ^G3450 daughter ^G2364 is even now ^G737 dead: ^G5053 but ^G235 come ^G2064 and lay ^G2007 thy ^G4675 hand ^G5495 upon ^G1909 her, ^G846 and ^G2532 she shall live. ^G2198

¹⁹ And ^G2532 Jesus ^G2424 arose, ^G1453 and followed ^G190 him, ^G846 and ^G2532 so did his ^G846 disciples. ^G3101

²⁰ And, ^G2532 behold, ^G2400 a woman, ^G1135 which was diseased with an issue of blood ^G131 twelve ^G1427 years, ^G2094 came ^G4334 behind ^G3693 him, and touched ^G680 the hem ^G2899 of his ^G846 garment: ^G2440

²¹ For ^G1063 she said ^G3004 within ^G1722 herself, ^G1438 If ^G1437 I may ^G680 but ^G3440 touch ^G680 his ^G846 garment, ^G2440 I shall be whole. ^G4982

²² But ^G1161 Jesus ^G2424 turned him about, ^G1994 and ^G2532 when he saw ^G1492 her, ^G846 he said, ^G2036 Daughter, ^G2364 be of good comfort; ^G2293 thy ^G4675 faith ^G4102 hath made ^G4982 thee ^G4571 whole. ^G4982 And ^G2532 the woman ^G1135 was made whole ^G4982 from ^G575 that ^G1565 hour. ^G5610

²³ And ^G2532 when Jesus ^G2424 came ^G2064 into ^G1519 the ruler's ^G758 house, ^G3614 and ^G2532 saw ^G1492 the minstrels ^G834 and ^G2532 the people ^G3793 making a noise, ^G2350

²⁴ He said ^G3004 unto them, ^G846 Give place: ^G402 for ^G1063 the maid ^G2877 is ^G599 not ^G3756 dead, ^G599 but ^G235 sleepeth. ^G2518 And ^G2532 they laughed ^G2606 him ^G846 to scorn. ^G2606

²⁵ But ^G1161 when ^G3753 the people ^G3793 were put forth, ^G1544 he went in, ^G1525 and took ^G2902 her ^G846 by the hand, ^G5495 and ^G2532 the maid ^G2877 arose. ^G1453

²⁶ And ^G2532 the fame ^G5345 hereof ^G3778 went abroad ^G1831 into ^G1519 all ^G3650 that ^G1565 land. ^G1093

²⁷ And ^G2532 when Jesus ^G2424 departed ^G3855 thence, ^G1564 two ^G1417 blind men ^G5185 followed ^G190 him, ^G846 crying, ^G2896 and ^G2532 saying, ^G3004 Thou Son ^G5207 of David, ^G1138 have mercy ^G1653 on us. ^G2248

²⁸ And ^G1161 when he was come ^G2064 into ^G1519 the house, ^G3614 the blind men ^G5185 came ^G4334 to him: ^G846 and ^G2532 Jesus ^G2424 saith ^G3004 unto them, ^G846 Believe ye ^G4100 that ^G3754 I am able ^G1410 to do ^G4160 this? ^G5124 They said ^G3004 unto him, ^G846 Yea, ^G3483 Lord. ^G2962

²⁹ Then ^G5119 touched he ^G680 their ^G846 eyes, ^G3788 saying, ^G3004 According ^G2596 to your ^G5216 faith ^G4102 be it ^G1096 unto you. ^G5213

³⁰ And ^G2532 their ^G846 eyes ^G3788 were opened; ^G455 and ^G2532 Jesus ^G2424 straitly charged ^G1690 them, ^G846 saying, ^G3004 See ^G3708 that no man ^G3367 know ^G1097 it.

³¹ But ^G1161 they, when they were departed, ^G1831 spread abroad ^G1310 his ^G846 fame ^G1310 in ^G1722 all ^G3650 that ^G1565 country. ^G1093

³² As ^G1161 they ^G846 went out, ^G1831 behold, ^G2400 they brought ^G4374 to him ^G846 a dumb ^G2974 man ^G444 possessed with a devil. ^G1139

³³ And ^G2532 when the devil ^G1140 was cast out, ^G1544 the dumb ^G2974 spake: ^G2980 and ^G2532 the multitudes ^G3793 marvelled, ^G2296 saying, ^{G3004 G3754} It was never ^G3763 so ^G3779 seen ^G5316 in ^G1722 Israel. ^G2474

³⁴ But ^G1161 the Pharisees ^G5330 said, ^G3004 He casteth out ^G1544 devils ^G1140 through ^G1722 the prince ^G758 of the devils. ^G1140

³⁵ And ^G2532 Jesus ^G2424 went about ^G4013 all ^G3956 the cities ^G4172 and ^G2532 villages, ^G2968 teaching ^G1321 in ^G1722 their ^G846 synagogues, ^G4864 and ^G2532 preaching ^G2784 the gospel ^G2098 of the kingdom, ^G932 and ^G2532 healing ^G2323 every ^G3956 sickness ^G3554 and ^G2532 every ^G3956 disease ^G3119 among ^G1722 the people. ^G2992

³⁶ But ^G1161 when he saw ^G1492 the multitudes, ^G3793 he was moved with compassion ^G4697 on ^G4012 them, ^G846 because ^G3754 they fainted, ^{G2258 G1590} and ^G2532 were scattered abroad, ^G4496 as ^G5616 sheep ^G4263 having ^G2192 no ^G3361 shepherd. ^G4166

³⁷ Then ^G5119 saith ^G3004 he unto his ^G846 disciples, ^G3101 The harvest ^G2326 truly ^G3303 is plenteous, ^G4183 but ^G1161 the labourers ^G2040 are few; ^G3641

³⁸ Pray ye ^G1189 therefore ^G3767 the Lord ^G2962 of the harvest, ^G2326 that ^G3704 he will send forth ^G1544 labourers ^G2040 into ^G1519 his ^G846 harvest. ^G2326

---

¹ And he entered into a boat, and crossed over, and came into his own city.

² And behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, be of good cheer; thy sins are forgiven.

³ And behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth.

⁴ And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?

⁵ For which is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven; or to say, Arise, and walk?

⁶ But that ye may know that the Son of man hath authority on earth to forgive sins (then saith he to the sick of the palsy), Arise, and take up thy bed, and go up unto thy house.

⁷ And he arose, and departed to his house.

⁸ But when the multitudes saw it, they were afraid, and glorified God, who had given such authority unto men.

⁹ And as Jesus passed by from thence, he saw a man, called Matthew, sitting at the place of toll: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.

¹⁰ And it came to pass, as he sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with Jesus and his disciples.

¹¹ And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Teacher with the publicans and sinners?

¹² But when he heard it, he said, They that are whole have no need of a physician, but they that are sick.

¹³ But go ye and learn what `this' meaneth, I desire mercy, and not sacrifice, for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.

¹⁴ Then come to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?

¹⁵ And Jesus said unto them, Can the sons of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then will they fast.

¹⁶ And no man putteth a piece of undressed cloth upon an old garment; for that which should fill it up taketh from the garment, and a worse rent is made.

¹⁷ Neither do `men' put new wine into old wine-skins: else the skins burst, and the wine is spilled, and the skins perish: but they put new wine into fresh wine-skins, and both are preserved.

¹⁸ While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.

¹⁹ And Jesus arose, and followed him, and `so did' his disciples.

²⁰ And behold, a woman, who had an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the border of his garment:

²¹ for she said within herself, If I do but touch his garment, I shall be made whole.

²² But Jesus turning and seeing her said, Daughter, be of good cheer; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.

²³ And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the flute-players, and the crowd making a tumult,

²⁴ he said, Give place: for the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.

²⁵ But when the crowd was put forth, he entered in, and took her by the hand; and the damsel arose.

²⁶ And the fame hereof went forth into all that land.

²⁷ And as Jesus passed by from thence, two blind men followed him, crying out, and saying, Have mercy on us, thou son of David.

²⁸ And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They say unto him, Yea, Lord.

²⁹ Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it done unto you.

³⁰ And their eyes were opened. And Jesus strictly charged them, saying, See that no man know it.

³¹ But they went forth, and spread abroad his fame in all that land.

³² And as they went forth, behold, there was brought to him a dumb man possessed with a demon.

³³ And when the demon was cast out, the dumb man spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.

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

³⁵ And Jesus went about all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of disease and all manner of sickness.

³⁶ But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them, because they were distressed and scattered, as sheep not having a shepherd.

³⁷ Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest indeed is plenteous, but the laborers are few.

³⁸ Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth laborers into his harvest.

---

¹ And having gone to the boat, he passed over, and came to his own city,

² and lo, they were bringing to him a paralytic, laid upon a couch, and Jesus having seen their faith, said to the paralytic, `Be of good courage, child, thy sins have been forgiven thee.'

³ And lo, certain of the scribes said within themselves, `This one doth speak evil.'

⁴ And Jesus, having known their thoughts, said, `Why think ye evil in your hearts?

⁵ for which is easier? to say, The sins have been forgiven to thee; or to say, Rise, and walk?

⁶ `But, that ye may know that the Son of Man hath power upon the earth to forgive sins -- (then saith he to the paralytic) -- having risen, take up thy couch, and go to thy house.'

⁷ And he, having risen, went to his house,

⁸ and the multitudes having seen, wondered, and glorified God, who did give such power to men.

⁹ And Jesus passing by thence, saw a man sitting at the tax-office, named Matthew, and saith to him, `Be following me,' and he, having risen, did follow him.

¹⁰ And it came to pass, he reclining (at meat) in the house, that lo, many tax-gatherers and sinners having come, were lying (at meat) with Jesus and his disciples,

¹¹ and the Pharisees having seen, said to his disciples, `Wherefore with the tax-gatherers and sinners doth your teacher eat?'

¹² And Jesus having heard, said to them, `They who are whole have no need of a physician, but they who are ill;

¹³ but having gone, learn ye what is, Kindness I will, and not sacrifice, for I did not come to call righteous men, but sinners, to reformation.'

¹⁴ Then come to him do the disciples of John, saying, `Wherefore do we and the Pharisees fast much, and thy disciples fast not?'

¹⁵ And Jesus said to them, `Can the sons of the bride-chamber mourn, so long as the bridegroom is with them? but days shall come when the bridegroom may be taken from them, and then they shall fast.

¹⁶ `And no one doth put a patch of undressed cloth on an old garment, for its filling up doth take from the garment, and a worse rent is made.

¹⁷ `Nor do they put new wine into old skins, and if not -- the skins burst, and the wine doth run out, and the skins are destroyed, but they put new wine into new skins, and both are preserved together.'

¹⁸ While he is speaking these things to them, lo, a ruler having come, was bowing to him, saying that `My daughter just now died, but, having come, lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.'

¹⁹ And Jesus having risen, did follow him, also his disciples,

²⁰ and lo, a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, having come to him behind, did touch the fringe of his garments,

²¹ for she said within herself, `If only I may touch his garment, I shall be saved.'

²² And Jesus having turned about, and having seen her, said, `Be of good courage, daughter, thy faith hath saved thee,' and the woman was saved from that hour.

²³ And Jesus having come to the house of the ruler, and having seen the minstrels and the multitude making tumult,

²⁴ he saith to them, `Withdraw, for the damsel did not die, but doth sleep,' and they were deriding him;

²⁵ but, when the multitude was put forth, having gone in, he took hold of her hand, and the damsel arose,

²⁶ and the fame of this went forth to all the land.

²⁷ And Jesus passing on thence, two blind men followed him, calling and saying, `Deal kindly with us, Son of David.'

²⁸ And he having come to the house, the blind men came to him, and Jesus saith to them, `Believe ye that I am able to do this?' They say to him, `Yes, sir.'

²⁹ Then touched he their eyes, saying, `According to your faith let it be to you,'

³⁰ and their eyes were opened, and Jesus strictly charged them, saying, `See, let no one know;'

³¹ but they, having gone forth, did spread his fame in all that land.

³² And as they are coming forth, lo, they brought to him a man dumb, a demoniac,

³³ and the demon having been cast out, the dumb spake, and the multitude did wonder, saying that `It was never so seen in Israel:'

³⁴ but the Pharisees said, `By the ruler of the demons he doth cast out the demons.'

³⁵ And Jesus was going up and down all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the good news of the reign, and healing every sickness and every malady among the people.

³⁶ And having seen the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them, that they were faint and cast aside, as sheep not having a shepherd,

³⁷ then saith he to his disciples, `The harvest indeed `is' abundant, but the workmen few;

³⁸ beseech ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he may put forth workmen to His harvest.'

---

¹ And going on board the ship, he passed over and came to his own city.

² And behold, they brought to him a paralytic, laid upon a bed; and Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, Be of good courage, child; thy sins are forgiven.

³ And behold, certain of the scribes said to themselves, This [man] blasphemes.

⁴ And Jesus, seeing their thoughts, said, Why do *ye* think evil things in your hearts?

⁵ For which is easier: to say, Thy sins are forgiven; or to say, Rise up and walk?

⁶ But that ye may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, (then he says to the paralytic,) Rise up, take up thy bed and go to thy house.

⁷ And he rose up and went to his house.

⁸ But the crowds seeing [it], were in fear, and glorified God who gave such power to men.

⁹ And Jesus, passing on thence, saw a man sitting at the tax-office, called Matthew, and says to him, Follow me. And he rose up and followed him.

¹⁰ And it came to pass, as he lay at table in the house, that behold, many tax-gatherers and sinners came and lay at table with Jesus and his disciples.

¹¹ And the Pharisees seeing [it], said to his disciples, Why does your teacher eat with tax-gatherers and sinners?

¹² But [Jesus] hearing it, said, They that are strong have not need of a physician, but those that are ill.

¹³ But go and learn what [that] is -- I will have mercy and not sacrifice; for I have not come to call righteous [men] but sinners.

¹⁴ Then come to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees often fast, but thy disciples fast not?

¹⁵ And Jesus said to them, Can the sons of the bridechamber mourn so long as the bridegroom is with them? But days will come when the bridegroom will have been taken away from them, and then they will fast.

¹⁶ But no one puts a patch of new cloth on an old garment, for its filling up takes from the garment and a worse rent takes place.

¹⁷ Nor do men put new wine into old skins, otherwise the skins burst and the wine is poured out, and the skins will be destroyed; but they put new wine into new skins, and both are preserved together.

¹⁸ As he spoke these things to them, behold, a ruler coming in did homage to him, saying, My daughter has by this died; but come and lay thy hand upon her and she shall live.

¹⁹ And Jesus rose up and followed him, and [so did] his disciples.

²⁰ And behold, a woman, who had had a bloody flux [for] twelve years, came behind and touched the hem of his garment;

²¹ for she said within herself, If I should only touch his garment I shall be healed.

²² But Jesus turning and seeing her, said, Be of good courage, daughter; thy faith has healed thee. And the woman was healed from that hour.

²³ And when Jesus was come to the house of the ruler, and saw the flute-players and the crowd making a tumult,

²⁴ he said, Withdraw, for the damsel is not dead, but sleeps. And they derided him.

²⁵ But when the crowd had been put out, he went in and took her hand; and the damsel rose up.

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

²⁷ And as Jesus passed on thence, two blind [men] followed him, crying and saying, Have mercy on us, Son of David.

²⁸ And when he was come to the house, the blind [men] came to him. And Jesus says to them, Do ye believe that I am able to do this? They say to him, Yea, Lord.

²⁹ Then he touched their eyes, saying, According to your faith, be it unto you.

³⁰ And their eyes were opened; and Jesus charged them sharply, saying, See, let no man know it.

³¹ But they, when they were gone out, spread his name abroad in all that land.

³² But as these were going out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed by a demon.

³³ And the demon having been cast out, the dumb spake. And the crowds were astonished, saying, It has never been seen thus in Israel.

³⁴ But the Pharisees said, He casts out the demons through the prince of the demons.

³⁵ And Jesus went round all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the glad tidings of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every bodily weakness.

³⁶ But when he saw the crowds he was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed, and cast away as sheep not having a shepherd.

³⁷ Then saith he to his disciples, The harvest [is] great and the workmen [are] few;

³⁸ supplicate therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth workmen unto his harvest.

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 up 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 It happened 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 wineskins, or else the skins would burst, and the wine be spilled, and the skins ruined. No, they put new wine into fresh wineskins, 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 an issue of blood for twelve years came behind him, and touched the tassels 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 put 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 Their eyes were opened. Jesus strictly charged 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 Gospel 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{TR reads "weary" instead of "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 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.
