Matthew 9:18-38

18WhileG846 Jesus was sayingG2980 these thingsG3778, aG1520 synagogue leaderG758 cameG2064 and kneltG4352 before HimG846. “MyG1473 daughterG2364 has just diedG737G5053,” he saidG3004. “ButG235 comeG2064 and placeG2007 YourG4771 handG5495 onG1909 herG846, andG2532 she will liveG2198.”

19SoG2532 JesusG2424 got upG1453 and went withG190 himG846, along withG2532 HisG846 disciplesG3101. 20SuddenlyG2532 a womanG1135 who had suffered from bleedingG131 for twelveG1427 yearsG2094 came upG4334 behindG3693 Him and touchedG680 theG3588 fringeG2899 ofG3588 HisG846 cloakG2440. 21She saidG2036 toG1722 herselfG1438, “IfG1437 onlyG3440 I touchG680 HisG846 cloakG2440, I will be healedG4982.”

22

JesusG2424 turnedG4762 andG2532 sawG3708 herG846. “Take courageG2293, daughterG2364,” He saidG2036, “yourG4771 faithG4102 has healedG4982 youG4771.” AndG2532 theG3588 womanG1135 was healedG4982 fromG575 thatG3588 veryG1565 hourG5610.

23WhenG2532 JesusG2424 enteredG2064G1519 theG3588 houseG3614 of theG3588 synagogue leaderG758, He sawG3708 theG3588 flute playersG834 andG2532 theG3588 noisyG2350 crowdG3793. 24“Go awayG402,” He told themG2036. “TheG3588 girlG2877 is not deadG3756G599, butG235 asleepG2518.” AndG2532 they laughed atG2606 HimG846.

25AfterG1161G3753 theG3588 crowdG3793 had been put outsideG1544, Jesus went inG1525 and tookG2902 the girl by theG3588 handG5495, andG2532 she got upG1453. 26AndG2532 theG3588 newsG5345 about thisG3778 spreadG1831 throughoutG1519G3650 thatG1565 regionG1093.

27AsG2532 JesusG2424 went onG3855 from thereG1564, twoG1417 blindG5185 men followedG190 HimG846, crying outG2896, “Have mercy onG1653 usG1473, SonG5207 of DavidG1138!”

28AfterG1161 Jesus had enteredG2064 theG3588 houseG3614, theG3588 blindG5185 men cameG4334 to HimG846. “Do you believeG4100 thatG3754 I am ableG1410 to doG4160 thisG3778?” He askedG3004.

“YesG3483, LordG2962,” they answeredG3004.

29ThenG5119 He touchedG680 theirG846 eyesG3788 and saidG3004, “According toG2596 yourG4771 faithG4102 will it be doneG1096 to youG4771.” 30AndG2532 theirG846 eyesG3788 were openedG455. JesusG2424 warned them sternlyG1690G846, “See thatG3708 no oneG3367 finds out about thisG1097!” 31ButG1161 they went outG1831 and spread the newsG1310 about HimG846 throughoutG1722G3650G1565 theG3588 landG1093.

32AsG1161 theyG846 were leavingG1831, a demon-possessedG1139 manG444 who was muteG2974 was broughtG4374 toG846 Jesus. 33And whenG2532 theG3588 demonG1140 had been driven outG1544, theG3588 man began to speakG2980. TheG3588 crowdsG3793 were amazedG2296 and saidG3004, “NothingG3763 like thisG3779 has ever been seenG5316 inG1722 IsraelG2474!”

34ButG1161 theG3588 PhariseesG5330 saidG2036, “It is byG1722 theG3588 princeG758 ofG3588 demonsG1140 that He drives outG1544 demonsG1140.”

35

JesusG2424 went throughG4013 allG3956 theG3588 townsG4172 andG2532 villagesG2968, teachingG1321 inG1722 theirG846 synagoguesG4864, preachingG2784 theG3588 gospelG2098 of theG3588 kingdomG932, andG2532 healingG2323 everyG3956 diseaseG3554 andG2532 sicknessG3119. 36WhenG1161 He sawG3708 theG3588 crowdsG3793, He was moved with compassionG4697 forG4012 themG846, becauseG3754 they wereG1510 harassedG4660 andG2532 helplessG4496, likeG5616 sheepG4263 withoutG3361G2192 a shepherdG4166.

37ThenG5119 He saidG3004 toG3588 HisG846 disciplesG3101, “TheG3588 harvestG2326 is plentifulG4183, butG1161 theG3588 workersG2040 are fewG3641. 38AskG1189 theG3588 LordG2962 of theG3588 harvestG2326, thereforeG3767, to send outG1544 workersG2040 intoG1519 HisG846 harvestG2326.”
