Matthew 9:18-38

181While He was sayingG2980 theseG3778 thingsG3778 to them, beholdG2400, 2a synagogue 3officialG758 cameG4334 and 45bowedG4352 downG4352 beforeG4352 Him, and saidG3004, “My daughterG2364 has justG737 diedG5053; but comeG2064 and layG2007 Your handG5495 on her, and she will becomeG2198 aliveG2198 againG2198.” 19JesusG2424 gotG1453 upG1453 from the table and began to accompanyG190 him, along with His disciplesG3101.

20And beholdG2400, a womanG1135 who had been sufferingG131 fromG131 aG131 hemorrhageG131 for twelveG1427 yearsG2094 cameG4334 upG4334 behindG3693 Him, and touchedG681 6the 7borderG2899 of His 8cloakG2440; 21for she was 9sayingG3004 10to herselfG1438, “IfG1437 I onlyG3440 11touchG681 His cloakG2440, I will 12getG4982 wellG4982.” 22But JesusG2424, turningG4762 and seeingG3708 her, saidG3004, “DaughterG2364, 13takeG2293 courageG2293; 14your faithG4102 has 15madeG4982 you wellG4982.” And 16at onceG1565G5610 the womanG1135 was 17madeG4982 wellG4982.

23When JesusG2424 cameG2064 into the 18official’sG758 houseG3614 and sawG3708 19the fluteG834 playersG834 and the crowdG3793 inG2350 noisyG2350 disorderG2350, 24He saidG3004, “LeaveG402; for the girlG2877 20has not diedG599, but isG2518 asleepG2518.” And they began laughingG2606 atG2606 Him. 25But 21whenG3753 the crowdG3793 had been sentG1544 outG1544, He enteredG1525 and 22tookG2902 her by the handG5495, and the girlG2877 23gotG1453 upG1453. 26And 24thisG3778 newsG5345 spreadG1831 throughoutG1519G3650 that landG1093.

27As JesusG2424 wentG3855 on fromG1564 thereG1564, twoG1417 menG5185 whoG5185 wereG5185 blindG5185 followedG190 Him, cryingG2896 outG2896, “HaveG1653 mercyG1653 on us, 25SonG5207 of DavidG1160!” 28And after He enteredG2064 the houseG3614, the menG5185 whoG5185 wereG5185 blindG5185 cameG4334 upG4334 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, “26It shall be doneG1096 for you 27accordingG2596 to your faithG4102.” 30And their eyesG3788 were openedG455. And JesusG2424 28sternlyG1690 warnedG1690 them, sayingG3004, “SeeG3708 that noG3367 oneG3367 knowsG1097 about this!” 31But they wentG1831 outG1831 and 29spreadG1310 theG1310 newsG1310 about Him throughoutG1722G3650 that landG1093.

32And as they were goingG1831 outG1831, beholdG2400, 30a 31demon-possessedG1139 manG444 who was unableG2974 to speakG2974 32was broughtG4374 to Him. 33And after the demonG1140 was castG1544 outG1544, the manG2974 who was previously unableG2974 to speakG2974 talkedG2980; and the crowdsG3793 were amazedG2296, and were sayingG3004, “33NothingG3763 likeG3779 thisG3779 has everG3763 34been seenG5316 in IsraelG2474.” 34But the PhariseesG5330 were sayingG3004, “He 35castsG1544 outG1544 the demonsG1140 by the rulerG758 of the demonsG1140.”

35JesusG2424 was goingG4013 throughG4013 allG3956 the citiesG4172 and villagesG2968, 36teachingG1321 in their synagoguesG4864 and proclaimingG2784 the gospelG2098 of the kingdomG932, and healingG2323 everyG3956 diseaseG3554 and everyG3956 sicknessG3119.

3637SeeingG3708 the crowdsG3793, He feltG4697 compassionG4697 for them, 38becauseG3754 they were 39distressedG4660 and downcastG4496, likeG5616 sheepG4263 40withoutG3361G2192 a shepherdG4166. 37ThenG5119 He saidG3004 to His disciplesG3101, “41The harvestG2326 is plentifulG4183, but the workersG2040 are fewG3641. 38ThereforeG3767, pleadG1189 with the LordG2962 of the harvestG2326 to sendG1544 outG1544 workersG2040 into His harvestG2326.”
