And
he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came
into his own city.
02 And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of
the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their
faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be
of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.
03 And, behold, certain of the
scribes said within themselves, This man
blasphemeth.
04 And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore
think ye evil in your hearts?
05 For whether is easier,
to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say,
Arise, and walk?
06 But that ye may know
that the Son of man hath power on earth to
forgive sins, (then saith he to the
sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed,
and go unto thine house.
07 And he arose, and departed to
his house.
08 But when the multitudes saw it, they
marvelled, and glorified God, which had given
such power unto men.
09 And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw
a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of
custom: and he saith unto him, Follow
me. And he arose, and followed him.
10 And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in
the house, behold, many publicans and sinners
came and sat down with him and his disciples.
11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto
his disciples, Why eateth your Master with
publicans and sinners?
12 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They
that be whole need not a physician, but they that
are sick.
13 But go ye and learn what
that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not
sacrifice: for I am not come to call the
righteous, but sinners to repentance.
14 Then came to him the disciples
of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast
oft, but thy disciples fast not?
15 And Jesus said unto them, Can the
children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as
the bridegroom is with them? but the days will
come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from
them, and then shall they fast.
16 No man putteth a piece
of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which
is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment,
and the rent is made worse.
17 Neither do men put new
wine into old bottles: else the bottles break,
and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish:
but they put new wine into new bottles, and both
are preserved.
18 While he spake these things
unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler,
and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even
now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and
she shall live.

19 And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did
his disciples.
20 And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with
an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him,
and touched the hem of his garment:
21 For she said within herself, If I may but
touch his garment, I shall be whole.
22 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw
her, he said,Daughter, be of good
comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the
woman was made whole from that hour.
23 And when Jesus came into the ruler's house,
and saw the minstrels and the people making a
noise,
24 He said unto them, Give place: for the maid
is not dead, but sleepeth. And they
laughed him to scorn.
25 But when the people were put forth, he went
in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose.
26 And the fame hereof went abroad into all that
land.
27 And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men
followed him, crying, and saying, Thou son of
David, have mercy on us.
28 And when he was come into the house, the blind
men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe
ye that I am able to do this? They
said unto him, Yea, Lord.
29 Then touched he their eyes, saying,
According to your faith be it unto you.
30 And their eyes were opened; and
Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that
no man know it.
31 But they, when they were
departed, spread abroad his fame in all that
country.
32 As they went out, behold, they brought to him
a dumb man possessed with a devil.
33 And when the devil was cast out, the dumb
spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It
was never so seen in Israel.
34 But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils
through the prince of the devils.
35 And Jesus went about all the cities and
villages, teaching in their synagogues, and
preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing
every sickness and every disease among the
people.
36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved
with compassion on them, because they fainted,
and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no
shepherd.
37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The
harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are
few;
38 Pray ye therefore the
Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth
labourers into his harvest.
