* And he entered (5631 ) into a ship , and passed over (5656 ), and came (5627 ) into his own city . * And , behold (5628 ), they brought (5707 ) to him a man sick of the palsy , lying (5772 ) on a bed : and Jesus seeing (5631 ) their faith said (5627 ) unto the sick of the palsy ; Son , be of good cheer (5720 ); thy sins be forgiven (5769 ) thee . * And , behold (5628 ), certain of the scribes said (5627 ) within themselves , This man blasphemeth (5719 ). * And Jesus knowing (5631 ) their thoughts said (5627 ), Wherefore think (5736 ) ye evil in your hearts ? * For whether is (5748 ) easier , to say (5629 ), Thy sins be forgiven (5769 ) thee ; or to say (5629 ), Arise (5669 ), and walk (5720 )? * But that ye may know (5762 ) that the Son of man hath (5719 ) power on earth to forgive (5721 ) sins , (then saith he (5719 ) to the sick of the palsy ,) Arise (5685 ), take up (5657 ) thy bed , and go (5720 ) unto thine house . * And he arose (5685 ), and departed (5627 ) to his house . * But when the multitudes saw (5631 ) it , they marvelled (5656 ), and glorified (5656 ) God , which had given (5631 ) such power unto men . * And as Jesus passed forth (5723 ) from thence , he saw (5627 ) a man , named (5746 ) Matthew , sitting (5740 ) at the receipt of custom : and he saith (5719 ) unto him , Follow (5720 ) me . And he arose (5631 ), and followed (5656 ) him . * And it came to pass (5633 ), as Jesus sat at meat (5740 ) in the house , behold (5628 ), many publicans and sinners came (5631 ) and sat down (5711 ) with him and his disciples . * And when the Pharisees saw (5631 ) it , they said (5627 ) unto his disciples , Why eateth (5719 ) your Master with publicans and sinners ? * But when Jesus heard (5660 ) that , he said (5627 ) unto them , They that be (5719 ) whole (5723 ) need not a physician , but they that are (5723 ) sick . * But go ye (5679 ) and learn (5628 ) what that meaneth (5748 ), I will (5719 ) have mercy , and not sacrifice : for I am not come (5627 ) to call (5658 ) the righteous , but sinners to repentance . * Then came (5736 ) to him the disciples of John , saying (5723 ), Why do we and the Pharisees fast (5719 ) oft , but thy disciples fast (5719 ) not ? * And Jesus said (5627 ) unto them , Can (5736 ) the children of the bridechamber mourn (5721 ), as long as the bridegroom is (5748 ) with them ? but the days will come (5695 ), when the bridegroom shall be taken (5686 ) from them , and then shall they fast (5692 ). * No man putteth (5719 ) a piece of new cloth unto an old garment , for that which is put in to fill it up taketh (5719 ) from the garment , and the rent is made (5736 ) worse . * Neither do men put (5719 ) new wine into old bottles : else the bottles break (5743 ), and the wine runneth out (5743 ), and the bottles perish (5698 ): but they put (5719 ) new wine into new bottles , and both are preserved (5743 ). * While he spake (5723 ) these things unto them , behold (5628 ), there came (5631 ) a certain ruler , and worshipped (5707 ) him , saying (5723 ), My daughter is even now dead (5656 ): but come (5631 ) and lay (5628 ) thy hand upon her , and she shall live (5695 ). * And Jesus arose (5685 ), and followed (5656 ) him , and so did his disciples . * And , behold (5628 ), a woman , which was diseased with an issue of blood (5723 ) twelve years , came (5631 ) behind him , and touched (5662 ) the hem of his garment : * For she said (5707 ) within herself , If I may but touch (5672 ) his garment , I shall be whole (5701 ). * But Jesus turned him about (5651 ), and when he saw (5631 ) her , he said (5627 ), Daughter , be of good comfort (5720 ); thy faith hath made thee whole (5758 ). And the woman was made whole (5681 ) from that hour . * And when Jesus came (5631 ) into the rulers house , and saw (5631 ) the minstrels and the people making a noise (5746 ), * He said (5719 ) unto them , Give place (5720 ): for the maid is not dead (5627 ), but sleepeth (5719 ). And they laughed him to scorn (5707 ). * But when the people were put forth (5681 ), he went in (5631 ), and took (5656 ) her by the hand , and the maid arose (5681 ). * And the fame hereof went abroad (5627 ) into all that land . * And when Jesus departed (5723 ) thence , two blind men followed (5656 ) him , crying (5723 ), and saying (5723 ), Thou Son of David , have mercy (5657 ) on us . * And when he was come (5631 ) into the house , the blind men came (5656 ) to him : and Jesus saith (5719 ) unto them , Believe ye (5720 ) that I am able (5736 ) to do (5658 ) this ? They said (5719 ) unto him , Yea , Lord . * Then touched he (5662 ) their eyes , saying (5723 ), According to your faith be it (5676 ) unto you . * And their eyes were opened (5681 ); and Jesus straitly charged (5662 ) them , saying (5723 ), See (5720 ) that no man know (5720 ) it . * But they , when they were departed (5631 ), spread abroad his fame (5656 ) in all that country . * As they went out (5740 ), behold (5628 ), they brought (5656 ) to him a dumb man possessed with a devil (5740 ). * And when the devil was cast out (5685 ), the dumb spake (5656 ): and the multitudes marvelled (5656 ), saying (5723 ), It was never so seen (5648 ) in Israel . * But the Pharisees said (5707 ), He casteth out (5719 ) devils through the prince of the devils . * And Jesus went about (5707 ) all the cities and villages , teaching (5723 ) in their synagogues , and preaching (5723 ) the gospel of the kingdom , and healing (5723 ) every sickness and every disease among the people . * But when he saw (5631 ) the multitudes , he was moved with compassion (5675 ) on them , because they fainted (5713 ) (5772 ), and were scattered abroad (5772 ), as sheep having (5723 ) no shepherd . * Then saith (5719 ) he unto his disciples , The harvest truly is plenteous , but the labourers are few ; * Pray ye (5676 ) therefore the Lord of the harvest , that he will send forth (5632 ) labourers into his harvest .
