Some people brought to him a paralyzed man on a mat. Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralyzed man, “Be encouraged, my child! Your sins are forgiven.”
And behold, some people brought to him a paralytic, lying on a bed. And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Take heart, my son; your sins are forgiven.”
But some of the teachers of religious law said to themselves, “That’s blasphemy! Does he think he’s God?”
And behold, some of the scribes said to themselves, “This man is blaspheming.”
Is it easier to say ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or ‘Stand up and walk’?
For which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Rise and walk’?
But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins” — he then said to the paralytic — “Rise, pick up your bed and go home.”
Fear swept through the crowd as they saw this happen. And they praised God for giving humans such authority.

Later, Matthew invited Jesus and his disciples to his home as dinner guests, along with many tax collectors and other disreputable sinners.
And when the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
When Jesus heard this, he said, “Healthy people don’t need a doctor — sick people do.”
But when he heard it, he said, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.
Go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.’ For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.”
Jesus replied, “Do wedding guests mourn while celebrating with the groom? Of course not. But someday the groom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast.
And Jesus said to them, “Can the wedding guests mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast.
“Besides, who would patch old clothing with new cloth? For the new patch would shrink and rip away from the old cloth, leaving an even bigger tear than before.
No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch tears away from the garment, and a worse tear is made.
“And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. For the old skins would burst from the pressure, spilling the wine and ruining the skins. New wine is stored in new wineskins so that both are preserved.”
Neither is new wine put into old wineskins. If it is, the skins burst and the wine is spilled and the skins are destroyed. But new wine is put into fresh wineskins, and so both are preserved.”
Jesus Heals in Response to Faith
As Jesus was saying this, the leader of a synagogue came and knelt before him. “My daughter has just died,” he said, “but you can bring her back to life again if you just come and lay your hand on her.”

Just then a woman who had suffered for twelve years with constant bleeding came up behind him. She touched the fringe of his robe,
And behold, a woman who had suffered from a discharge of blood for twelve years came up behind him and touched the fringe of his garment,
for she thought, “If I can just touch his robe, I will be healed.”
for she said to herself, “If I only touch his garment, I will be made well.”
Jesus turned around, and when he saw her he said, “Daughter, be encouraged! Your faith has made you well.” And the woman was healed at that moment.
When Jesus arrived at the official’s home, he saw the noisy crowd and heard the funeral music.
And when Jesus came to the ruler’s house and saw the flute players and the crowd making a commotion,
“Get out!” he told them. “The girl isn’t dead; she’s only asleep.” But the crowd laughed at him.
he said, “Go away, for the girl is not dead but sleeping.” And they laughed at him.
After the crowd was put outside, however, Jesus went in and took the girl by the hand, and she stood up!
But when the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took her by the hand, and the girl arose.
The report of this miracle swept through the entire countryside.

They went right into the house where he was staying, and Jesus asked them, “Do you believe I can make you see?”
“Yes, Lord,” they told him, “we do.”
“Yes, Lord,” they told him, “we do.”
When he entered the house, the blind men came to him, and Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They said to him, “Yes, Lord.”
Then he touched their eyes and said, “Because of your faith, it will happen.”
Then he touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith be it done to you.”
Then their eyes were opened, and they could see! Jesus sternly warned them, “Don’t tell anyone about this.”
And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly warned them, “See that no one knows about it.”
But instead, they went out and spread his fame all over the region.
But they went away and spread his fame through all that district.
When they left, a demon-possessed man who couldn’t speak was brought to Jesus.

As they were going away, behold, a demon-oppressed man who was mute was brought to him.

And when the demon had been cast out, the mute man spoke. And the crowds marveled, saying, “Never was anything like this seen in Israel.”
But the Pharisees said, “He can cast out demons because he is empowered by the prince of demons.”
But the Pharisees said, “He casts out demons by the prince of demons.”
