Matthew 9

1And he entered into a boatG4143, and crossed over, and cameG2064 into his ownG2398 cityG4172. 2And beholdG2400, they broughtG4374 to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bedG2825: and JesusG2424 seeingG3708 their faithG4102 saidG3004 unto the sick of the palsy, SonG5043, be of good cheer; thy sinsG266 are forgivenG863. 3And beholdG2400, certainG5100 of the scribesG1122 saidG3004 within themselves, This manG3778 blasphemeth. 4And JesusG2424 knowing their thoughtsG1761 saidG3004, Wherefore think ye evilG4190 in your heartsG2588? 5For which isG1510 easier, to sayG3004, Thy sinsG266 areG1510 forgivenG863; or to sayG3004, AriseG1453, and walkG4043? 6But that ye may know that the SonG5207 of manG444 hath authorityG1849 on earthG1093 to forgiveG863 sinsG266 (then saith he to the sick of the palsy), AriseG1453, and takeG142 up thy bedG2825, and goG5217 unto thy houseG3624. 7And he arose, and departedG565 to his houseG3624. 8But when the multitudesG3793 sawG3708 it, they were afraidG5399, and glorifiedG1392 GodG2316, who had givenG1325 suchG5108 authorityG1849 unto menG444.

9And as JesusG2424 passed by from thence, he sawG3708 a manG444, called MatthewG3156, sittingG2521 at the place of toll: and he saith unto him, FollowG190 me. And he aroseG450, and followedG190 him.

10And it cameG2064 to passG1096, as he sat at meat in the houseG3614, beholdG2400, manyG4183 publicans and sinnersG268 cameG2064 and sat down with JesusG2424 and his disciplesG3101. 11And when the PhariseesG5330 sawG3708 it, they saidG3004 unto his disciplesG3101, WhyG5101 eateth your TeacherG1320 with the publicans and sinnersG268? 12But when he heardG191 it, he saidG3004, They that are whole have no needG5532 of a physicianG2395, but they that are sickG2560. 13But goG4198 ye and learnG3129 what this meaneth, I desireG2309 mercyG1656, and not sacrificeG2378: for I cameG2064 not to callG2564 the righteousG1342, but sinnersG268.

14Then comeG4334 to him the disciplesG3101 of JohnG2491, sayingG3004, WhyG5101 do we and the PhariseesG5330 fastG3522 oft, but thy disciplesG3101 fastG3522 not? 15And JesusG2424 saidG3004 unto them, Can the sonsG5207 of the bridechamber mournG3996, as long as the bridegroomG3566 isG1510 with them? but the daysG2250 will comeG2064, whenG3752 the bridegroomG3566 shall beG1510 taken awayG522 from them, and then will they fastG3522. 16And no man putteth a pieceG1915 of undressed clothG4470 upon an oldG3820 garmentG2440; for that which should fill it up taketh from the garmentG2440, and a worse rent is made. 17Neither do men putG906 newG2537 wineG3631 into oldG3820 wine-skins: else the skins burstG4486, and the wineG3631 is spilled, and the skins perishG622: but they putG906 newG2537 wineG3631 into fresh wine-skins, and both are preserved.

18While he spake these thingsG3778 unto them, beholdG2400, there cameG2064 a rulerG758, and worshipped him, sayingG3004, My daughterG2364 is evenG2532 now dead: but comeG2064 and lay thy handG5495 upon her, and she shall liveG2198. 19And JesusG2424 arose, and followedG190 him, and so did his disciplesG3101. 20And beholdG2400, a womanG1135, who had an issue of blood twelveG1427 yearsG2094, cameG4334 behind him, and touchedG681 the border of his garmentG2440: 21for she saidG3004 within herself, If I do but touchG681 his garmentG2440, I shall be made whole. 22But JesusG2424 turningG4762 and seeingG3708 her saidG3004, DaughterG2364, be of good cheer; thy faithG4102 hath made thee whole. And the womanG1135 was made whole from that hourG5610. 23And when JesusG2424 cameG2064 into the ruler’s houseG3614, and sawG3708 the flute-playersG834, and the crowdG3793 making a tumult, 24he saidG3004, Give place: for the damsel is not deadG599, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn. 25But whenG3753 the crowdG3793 was putG1544 forth, he enteredG1525 in, and tookG2902 her by the handG5495; and the damsel arose. 26And the fame hereof wentG1831 forthG1831 into all that landG1093.

27And as JesusG2424 passed by from thence, twoG1417 blindG5185 menG5185 followedG190 him, cryingG2896 out, and sayingG3004, Have mercyG1653 on us, thou sonG5207 of DavidG1138. 28And when he was comeG2064 into the houseG3614, the blindG5185 menG3778 cameG2064 to him: and JesusG2424 saith unto them, BelieveG4100 ye that I am ableG1410 to do this? They sayG3004 unto him, Yea, LordG2962. 29ThenG5119 touchedG681 he their eyesG3788, sayingG3004, AccordingG2596 to your faithG4102 be it done unto you. 30And their eyesG3788 were openedG455. And JesusG2424 strictly charged them, sayingG3004, SeeG3708 that no man knowG1097 it. 31But they wentG1831 forthG1831, and spread abroad his fame in all that landG1093.

32And as they wentG1831 forthG1831, beholdG2400, there was broughtG4374 to him a dumb manG444 possessed with a demon. 33And when the demonG1140 was castG1544 out, the dumb manG2974 spake: and the multitudesG3793 marvelled, sayingG3004, It was neverG3763 so seen in IsraelG2474. 34But the PhariseesG5330 saidG3004, By the princeG758 of the demonsG1140 casteth he out demonsG1140.

35And JesusG2424 went about all the citiesG4172 and the villagesG2968, teachingG1321 in their synagoguesG4864, and preachingG2784 the gospelG2098 of the kingdomG932, and healingG2323 all manner of diseaseG3554 and all manner of sicknessG3119. 36But when he sawG3708 the multitudesG3793, he wasG1510 moved with compassionG4697 for them, because they wereG1510 distressed and scattered, as sheepG4263 not having a shepherdG4166. 37ThenG5119 saith he unto his disciplesG3101, The harvestG2326 indeedG3303 is plenteous, but the laborers are fewG3641. 38PrayG1189 ye thereforeG3767 the LordG2962 of the harvestG2326, that he sendG1544 forth laborers into his harvestG2326.
