Getting into a boat, Jesus crossed over the sea and came to His own city.

Jesus Heals a Paralytic

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

And they brought to Him a paralytic lying on a bed. Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralytic, “Take courage, son; your sins are forgiven.”

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 some of the scribes said to themselves, “This fellow blasphemes.”

3

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

4

And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, “Why are you thinking evil in your hearts?

4

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

5

“Which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up, and walk’?

5

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

6

“But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins” — then He said to the paralytic, “Get up, pick up your bed and go home.”

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 got up and went home.

7

And he rose up and went to his house.

8

But when the crowds saw this, they were awestruck, and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.

8

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

Matthew Called

As Jesus went on from there, He saw a man called Matthew, sitting in the tax collector’s booth; and He said to him, “Follow Me!” And he got up and followed Him.

9

Jesus Calls Matthew

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

Then it happened that as Jesus was reclining at the table in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and were dining with Jesus and His disciples.

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

When the Pharisees saw this, they said to His disciples, “Why is your Teacher eating with the tax collectors and sinners?”

11

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

12

But when Jesus heard this, He said, “It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick.

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 this means: ‘I DESIRE COMPASSION, AND NOT SACRIFICE,’ for I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

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

The Question about Fasting

Then the disciples of John came to Him, asking, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast, but Your disciples do not fast?”

14

Jesus Questioned about Fasting

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, “The attendants of the bridegroom cannot mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them, can they? But the days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast.

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 unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for the patch pulls away from the garment, and a worse tear results.

16

The Patches and Wineskins

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 people put new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the wineskins burst, and the wine pours out and the wineskins are ruined; but they put new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved.”

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

Miracles of Healing

While He was saying these things to them, a synagogue official came and bowed down before Him, and said, “My daughter has just died; but come and lay Your hand on her, and she will live.”

18

The Healing Touch of Jesus

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

Jesus got up and began to follow him, and so did His disciples.

19

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

20

And a woman who had been suffering from a hemorrhage for twelve years, came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His cloak;

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 was saying to herself, “If I only touch His garment, I will get well.”

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, “Daughter, take courage; your faith has made you well.” At once the woman was made well.

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

When Jesus came into the official’s house, and saw the flute-players and the crowd in noisy disorder,

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, “Leave; for the girl has not died, but is asleep.” And they began laughing at Him.

24

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

25

But when the crowd had been sent out, He entered and took her by the hand, and the girl got up.

25

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

26

This news spread throughout all that land.

26

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

27

As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!”

27

Jesus Heals Two Blind Men

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

28

When He entered the house, the blind men came up to Him, and Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They said to Him, “Yes, Lord.”

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, “It shall be done to you according to your faith.”

29

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

30

And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly warned them: “See that no one knows about this!”

30

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

31

But they went out and spread the news about Him throughout all that land.

31

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

32

As they were going out, a mute, demon-possessed man was brought to Him.

32

Jesus Heals a Mute Man

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

33

After the demon was cast out, the mute man spoke; and the crowds were amazed, and were saying, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel.”

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 were saying, “He casts out the demons by the ruler of the demons.”

34

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

35

Jesus was going through all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every kind of disease and every kind of sickness.

35

The Sheep and the Harvest

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

Seeing the people, He felt compassion for them, because they were distressed and dispirited like sheep without a shepherd.

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 He said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.

37

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

38

“Therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest.”

38

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