A Paralytic Healed

1

Gettingg1684 into a boatg4143, Jesus crossedg1276 overg1276 the sea and cameg2064 to  aHis owng2398 cityg4172.

2

 aAnd they broughtg4374 to Him a  bparalyticg3885 lyingg906 on a bedg2825b. Seeingg3708 their faithg4102, Jesusg2424 saidg3004 to the paralyticg3885, cTakeg2293 courageg2293,  1song5043;  dyour sinsg266 are forgiveng863."

3

And someg5100 of the scribesg1122 saidg3004  1to themselvesg1438, "Thisg3778 fellow  ablasphemesg987."

4

And Jesusg2424  aknowingg3609a their thoughtsg1761 saidg3004, "Whyg2444 are you thinkingg1760 evilg4190 in your heartsg2588?

5

"Whichg5101 is easierg2123, to sayg3004, ` aYour sinsg266 are forgiveng863,' org2228 to sayg3004, `Getg1453 up, and walkg4043'?

6

"But sog2443 that you may knowg3609a that  athe Song5207 of Mang444 hasg2192 authorityg1849 on earthg1093 to forgiveg863 sinsg266"--theng5119 He *saidg3004 to the  bparalyticg3885, "Getg1453 up, pickg142 up your bedg2825b and gog5217 homeg3624."

7

And he gotg1453 up and  1wentg565 homeg3624.

8

But when the crowdsg3793 sawg3708 this, they were  1awestruckg5399, and  aglorifiedg1392 Godg2316, who had giveng1325 suchg5108 authorityg1849 to meng444.

Matthew Called

9

 aAs Jesusg2424 wentg3855 on from thereg1564, He sawg3708 a mang444 calledg3004  bMatthewg3102b, sittingg2521 in the taxg5058 collector'sg5058 boothg5058; and He *saidg3004 to him, cFollowg190 Me!" And he gotg450 up and followedg190 Him.

10

Theng2532 it happenedg1096 that as  1Jesusg2424 was recliningg345 at the table in the houseg3614, beholdg2400, manyg4183 taxg5057 collectorsg5057 and  2sinnersg268 cameg2064 and were diningg4873 with Jesusg2424 and His disciplesg3101.

11

When the Phariseesg5330 sawg3708 this, they saidg3004 to His disciplesg3101, " aWhyg1223g5101 is your Teacherg1320 eatingg2068 with the taxg5057 collectorsg5057 and sinnersg268?"

12

But when Jesus heardg191 this, He saidg3004, "It is not  athoseg3588 who are healthyg2480 who needg5532 a physiciang2395, but thoseg3588 who are sickg2560.

13

"But gog4198 and learng3129  1 awhatg5101 this meansg1510: ` bI DESIREg2309  2COMPASSIONg1656,  3AND NOT SACRIFICEg2378,' for  cI did not comeg2064 to callg2564 the righteousg1342, but sinnersg268."

The Question about Fasting

14

Theng5119 the disciplesg3101 of Johng2491 *cameg4334 to Him, askingg3004, "Whyg1223g5101 do we and  athe Phariseesg5330 fastg3522, but Your disciplesg3101 do not fastg3522?"

15

And Jesusg2424 saidg3004 to them, "The  1attendantsg5207 of the bridegroomg3567 cannotg1410g3361 mourng3996 as longg3745 as the bridegroomg3566 is with them, can they? But the daysg2250 will comeg2064 wheng3752 the bridegroomg3566 is takeng522 awayg522 from them, and theng5119 they will fastg3522.

16

"But 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.

17

"Norg3761 do people putg906 newg3501b wineg3631 into oldg3820 wineskinsg779; otherwiseg1490b the wineskinsg779 burstg4486, and the wineg3631 poursg1632a out and the wineskinsg779 are ruinedg622; but they putg906 newg3501b wineg3631 into freshg2537 wineskinsg779, and bothg297 are preservedg4933."

18

 aWhile He was sayingg2980 theseg3778 thingsg3778 to them,  1a synagogue  2officialg758 cameg4334 and  3 bbowedg4352 downg4352 beforeg4352 Him, and saidg3004, "My daughterg2364 has justg737 diedg5053; but comeg2064 and layg2007 Your handg5495 on her, and she will liveg2198."

19

Jesusg2424 gotg1453 up and began to followg190 him, and so did His disciplesg3101.

20

And a womang1135 who had been sufferingg131 from a hemorrhageg131 for twelveg1427 yearsg2094, cameg4334 up behindg3693 Him and touchedg681  athe  1fringeg2899 of His  2cloakg2440;

21

for she was sayingg3004  1to herselfg1438, "Ifg1437 I onlyg3440  atouchg681 His garmentg2440, I will  2getg4982 wellg4982."

22

But Jesusg2424 turningg4762 and seeingg3708 her saidg3004, "Daughterg2364,  atakeg2293 courageg2293;  byour faithg4102 has  1madeg4982 you wellg4982."  2At onceg1565g5610 the womang1135 was  3madeg4982 wellg4982.

23

When Jesusg2424 cameg2064 into the  1official'sg758 houseg3614, and sawg3708  athe flute-playersg834 and the crowdg3793 in noisyg2350b disorderg2350b,

24

He saidg3004, "Leaveg402; for the girlg2877  ahas not diedg599, but is asleepg2518." And they began laughingg2606 at Him.

25

But  awheng3753 the crowdg3793 had been sentg1544b out, He enteredg1525 and  btookg2902 her by the handg5495, and the girlg2877  1gotg1453 up.

26

 aThisg3778 newsg5345 spreadg1831 throughoutg1519 allg3650 that landg1093.

27

As Jesusg2424 wentg3855 on from thereg1564, twog1417 blindg5185 meng5185 followedg190 Him, cryingg2896 out, "Haveg1653 mercyg1653 on us,  aSong5207 of Davidg1160b!"

28

Wheng1161 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, "Yesg3483a, Lordg2962."

29

Theng5119 He touchedg681 their eyesg3788, sayingg3004, 1It shall be doneg1096 to you  aaccordingg2596 to your faithg4102."

30

And their eyesg3788 were openedg455. And Jesusg2424  asternlyg1690 warnedg1690 them: "Seeg3708 that nog3367 oneg3367 knowsg1097 about this!"

31

But they wentg1831 out and  aspreadg1310 the newsg1310 about Him throughoutg1722 allg3650 that landg1093.

32

As they were goingg1831 out,  aa muteg2974,  bdemon-possessedg1139 mang444  1was broughtg4374 to Him.

33

After the demong1140 was castg1544b out, the muteg2974 mang2974 spokeg2980; and the crowdsg3793 were amazedg2296, and were sayingg3004, " aNothingg3763 likeg3779 thisg3779 has  1everg3763 been seeng5316 in Israelg2474."

34

But the Phariseesg5330 were sayingg3004, "He  acastsg1544b out the demonsg1140 by the rulerg758 of the demonsg1140."

35

Jesusg2424 was goingg4013 throughg4013 allg3956 the citiesg4172 and villagesg2968,  ateachingg1321 in their synagoguesg4864 and proclaimingg2784 the gospelg2098 of the kingdomg932, and healingg2323 everyg3956 kindg3956 of diseaseg3554 and everyg3956 kindg3956 of sicknessg3119.

36

 aSeeingg3708 the  1peopleg3793, He feltg4697 compassiong4697 for them,  bbecauseg3754 they were  2distressedg4660 and  3dispiritedg4496 likeg5616 sheepg4263b  4withoutg3361g2192 a shepherdg4166.

37

Theng5119 He *saidg3004 to His disciplesg3101, aThe harvestg2326 is plentifulg4183, but the workersg2040 are fewg3641.

38

"Thereforeg3767 beseechg1189a the Lordg2962 of the harvestg2326 to sendg1544b out workersg2040 into His harvestg2326."
