MATTHEW ยท Chapter 9
9:1 And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into his own
city.
9:2 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; your sins be forgiven you.
9:3 And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This
man blasphemes.
9:4 And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think all of you
evil in your hearts?
9:5 For whether is easier, to say, Your sins be forgiven you; or to
say, Arise, and walk?
9:6 But that all of you may know that the Son of man has power on earth
to forgive sins, (then says he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up
your bed, and go unto your house.
9:7 And he arose, and departed to his house.
9:8 But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God,
which had given such power unto men.
9:9 And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew,
sitting at the receipt of custom: and he says unto him, Follow me. And
he arose, and followed him.
9:10 And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at food in the house, behold,
many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.
9:11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why
eats your Master with publicans and sinners?
9:12 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole
need not a physician, but they that are sick.
9:13 But go all of you and learn what that means, I will have mercy,
and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners
to repentance.
9:14 Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and
the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples fast not?
9:15 And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bride-chamber
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.
9:16 No man puts a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that
which is put in to fill it up takes from the garment, and the rent is made
worse.
9:17 Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles
break, and the wine runs out, and the bottles perish: but they put new
wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.
9:18 While he spoke these things unto them, behold, there came a certain
ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come
and lay your hand upon her, and she shall live.
9:19 And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples.
9:20 And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood
twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment:
9:21 For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I
shall be whole.
9:22 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter,
be of good comfort; your faith has made you whole. And the woman was made
whole from that hour.
9:23 And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the minstrels
and the people making a noise,
9:24 He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleeps.
And they laughed him to scorn.
9:25 But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by
the hand, and the maid arose.
9:26 And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.
9:27 And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying,
and saying, You son of David, have mercy on us.
9:28 And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him:
and Jesus says unto them, Believe all of you that I am able to do this?
They said unto him, Yea, Lord.
9:29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be
it unto you.
9:30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus strictly charged them, saying,
See that no man know it.
9:31 But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all
that country.
9:32 As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed
with a devil.
9:33 And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spoke: and the multitudes
marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.
9:34 But the Pharisees said, He casts out devils through the prince
of the devils.
9:35 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.
9:36 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.
9:37 Then says he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is abundant,
but the labourers are few;
9:38 Pray all of you therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will
send forth labourers into his harvest.
