Matthew 9

1 And, entering into a boat, He crossed over, and came into His own city. 2 And, behold, they were bringing to Him a paralytic laid upon a couch. And Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, 3 And, behold, some of the scribes said among themselves, “This Man is blaspheming! “ 4 And Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, 6 (then saith He to the paralytic), 7 And, having arisen, he went to his house; 8 and, seeing , the multitudes feared, and glorified God, Who gave such authority to men. 9 And Jesus, passing on thence, saw a man, called Matthew, sitting at the tax-office, and He saith to him, And, rising up, he followed Him. 10 And it came to pass, as He was reclining in the house, behold, many tax-collectors and sinners, having come, were reclining with Jesus and His disciples. 11 And the Pharisees, seeing , said to His disciples, Why is your Teacher eating with the tax-collectors and sinners?" 12 And Jesus, hearing , said, 13 means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice;’ for I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”} 14 Then came to Him the disciples of John, saying, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but Thy disciples fast not?" 15 Jesus said to them, 18 While He is speaking these things to them, behold, a ruler, having come to , was worshiping Him, saying, “My daughter just now died; but, coming, lay Thy hand upon her, and she shall live." 19 And Jesus, having risen, was following him, also His disciples. 20 And, behold, a woman, having a flow of blood twelve years, having come up behind , touched the border of His garment; 21 for she was saying within herself, “If I only touch His garment, I shall be made well." 22 And Jesus, turning and seeing her, said, And the woman was made well from that hour. 23 And Jesus, having come into the house of the ruler, and seeing the flute-players and the multitude making a tumult, 24 said, And they were laughing at Him. 25 But, when the multitude was put forth, having gone in, He took hold of her hand, and the damsel arose. 26 And the report of this went forth into all that land. 27 And, as Jesus was passing on thence, two blind men followed Him, crying out, and saying, “Have mercy on us, O Son of David!" 28 And the blind men came to Him, He entered into the house; and He saith to them, They say to Him, “Yes, Lord." 29 Then He touched their eyes, saying, 30 And their eyes were opened. And Jesus strictly charged them, saying, .”} 31 But they, having gone forth, spread abroad His fame in all that land. 32 And, as they were going forth, behold, they have brought to Him a dumb , a demoniac; 33 and, the demon having been cast oat, the dumb spake. And the multitudes wondered, saying, “Never was it so seen in Israel!" 34 But the Pharisees said, “By the ruler of the demons He is casting out the demons." 35 And Jesus was going about all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every infirmity. 36 And, seeing the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed and scattered, as sheep having no shepherd. 37 Then He saith to His disciples, abundant, but the laborers few;}
