Matthew 9:16-38

16But noG3762 oneG3762 putsG1911 1a patchG1915 of unshrunkG46 clothG4470 on an oldG3820 garmentG2440; for 2the patchG4138 pullsG142 awayG142 from the garmentG2440, and a worseG5501 tearG4978 resultsG1096. 17NorG3761 do people putG906 newG3501 wineG3631 into oldG3820 wineskinsG779; otherwiseG1490 the wineskinsG779 burstG4486, and the wineG3631 poursG1632 out and the wineskinsG779 are ruinedG622; but they putG906 newG3501 wineG3631 into freshG2537 wineskinsG779, and bothG297 are preservedG4933.”

183While He was sayingG2980 theseG3778 thingsG3778 to them, 4a synagogue 5officialG758 cameG4334 and 67bowedG4352 downG4352 beforeG4352 Him, and saidG3004, “My daughterG2364 has justG737 diedG5053; but comeG2064 and layG2007 Your handG5495 on her, and she will liveG2198.” 19JesusG2424 gotG1453 up and began to followG190 him, and so did His disciplesG3101.

20And a womanG1135 who had been sufferingG131 from a hemorrhageG131 for twelveG1427 yearsG2094, cameG4334 up behindG3693 Him and touchedG681 8the 9fringeG2899 of His 10cloakG2440; 21for she was sayingG3004 11to herselfG1438, “IfG1437 I onlyG3440 12touchG681 His garmentG2440, I will 13getG4982 wellG4982.” 22But JesusG2424 turningG4762 and seeingG3708 her saidG3004, “DaughterG2364, 14takeG2293 courageG2293; 15your faithG4102 has 16madeG4982 you wellG4982.” 17At onceG1565G5610 the womanG1135 was 18madeG4982 wellG4982.

23When JesusG2424 cameG2064 into the 19official’sG758 houseG3614, and sawG3708 20the flute-playersG834 and the crowdG3793 in noisyG2350 disorderG2350, 24He saidG3004, “LeaveG402; for the girlG2877 21has not diedG599, but is asleepG2518.” And they began laughingG2606 at Him. 25But 22whenG3753 the crowdG3793 had been sentG1544 out, He enteredG1525 and 23tookG2902 her by the handG5495, and the girlG2877 24gotG1453 up. 2625ThisG3778 newsG5345 spreadG1831 throughoutG1519 allG3650 that landG1093.

27As JesusG2424 wentG3855 on from thereG1564, twoG1417 blindG5185 menG5185 followedG190 Him, cryingG2896 out, “HaveG1653 mercyG1653 on us, 26SonG5207 of DavidG1160!” 28WhenG1161 He enteredG2064 the houseG3614, the blindG5185 menG5185 cameG4334 up to Him, and JesusG2424 saidG3004 to them, “Do you believeG4100 that I amG1410 ableG1410 to doG4160 thisG3778?” They saidG3004 to Him, “YesG3483, LordG2962.” 29ThenG5119 He touchedG681 their eyesG3788, sayingG3004, “27It shall be doneG1096 to you 28accordingG2596 to your faithG4102.” 30And their eyesG3788 were openedG455. And JesusG2424 29sternlyG1690 warnedG1690 them: “SeeG3708 that noG3367 oneG3367 knowsG1097 about this!” 31But they wentG1831 out and 30spreadG1310 the newsG1310 about Him throughoutG1722 allG3650 that landG1093.

32As they were goingG1831 out, 31a muteG2974, 32demon-possessedG1139 manG444 33was broughtG4374 to Him. 33After the demonG1140 was castG1544 out, the muteG2974 manG2974 spokeG2980; and the crowdsG3793 were amazedG2296, and were sayingG3004, “34NothingG3763 likeG3779 thisG3779 has 35everG3763 been seenG5316 in IsraelG2474.” 34But the PhariseesG5330 were sayingG3004, “He 36castsG1544 out the demonsG1140 by the rulerG758 of the demonsG1140.”

35JesusG2424 was goingG4013 throughG4013 allG3956 the citiesG4172 and villagesG2968, 37teachingG1321 in their synagoguesG4864 and proclaimingG2784 the gospelG2098 of the kingdomG932, and healingG2323 everyG3956 kindG3956 of diseaseG3554 and everyG3956 kindG3956 of sicknessG3119.

3638SeeingG3708 the 39peopleG3793, He feltG4697 compassionG4697 for them, 40becauseG3754 they were 41distressedG4660 and 42dispiritedG4496 likeG5616 sheepG4263 43withoutG3361G2192 a shepherdG4166. 37ThenG5119 He saidG3004 to His disciplesG3101, “44The harvestG2326 is plentifulG4183, but the workersG2040 are fewG3641. 38ThereforeG3767 beseechG1189 the LordG2962 of the harvestG2326 to sendG1544 out workersG2040 into His harvestG2326.”
