Matthew 9

2 Christ curing the sick of the palsy, 9 calleth Matthew from the receipt of custom, 10 eateth with publicans and sinners, 14 defendeth his disciples for not fasting, 20 cureth the bloody issue, 23 raiseth from death Jairus' daughter, 27 giveth sight to two blind men, 32 healeth a dumb man possessed of a devil, 36 and hath compassion of the multitude.

 9:1 Getting 1684 into a boat 4143, Jesus crossed 1276 over 1276 [the sea] and came 2064 to His own 2398 city 4172.

 9:2 ¶ And they brought 4374 to Him a paralytic 3885 lying 906 on a bed 2825b. Seeing 3708 their faith 4102, Jesus 2424 said 3004 to the paralytic 3885, “Take 2293 courage 2293, son 5043; your sins 266 are forgiven 863.”

 9:3 And some 5100 of the scribes 1122 said 3004 to themselves 1438, “This 3778 [fellow] blasphemes 987.”

 9:4 And Jesus 2424 knowing 3609a their thoughts 1761 said 3004, “Why 2444 are you thinking 1760 evil 4190 in your hearts 2588?

 9:5 “Which 5101 is easier 2123, to say 3004, ‘Your sins 266 are forgiven 863,’ or 2228 to say 3004, ‘Get 1453 up, and walk 4043’?

 9:6 “But so 2443 that you may know 3609a that the Son 5207 of Man 444 has 2192 authority 1849 on earth 1093 to forgive 863 sins 266”—then 5119 He *said 3004 to the paralytic 3885, “Get 1453 up, pick 142 up your bed 2825b and go 5217 home 3624.”

 9:7 And he got 1453 up and went 565 home 3624.

 9:8 But when the crowds 3793 saw 3708 [this], they were awestruck 5399, and glorified 1392 God 2316, who had given 1325 such 5108 authority 1849 to men 444.

 9:9 ¶ As Jesus 2424 went 3855 on from there 1564, He saw 3708 a man 444 called 3004 Matthew 3102b, sitting 2521 in the tax 5058 collector’s 5058 booth 5058; and He *said 3004 to him, “Follow 190 Me!” And he got 450 up and followed 190 Him.

 9:10 ¶ Then 2532 it happened 1096 that as Jesus 2424 was reclining 345 [at the table] in the house 3614, behold 2400, many 4183 tax 5057 collectors 5057 and sinners 268 came 2064 and were dining 4873 with Jesus 2424 and His disciples 3101.

 9:11 When the Pharisees 5330 saw 3708 [this], they said 3004 to His disciples 3101, “Why 1223 5101 is your Teacher 1320 eating 2068 with the tax 5057 collectors 5057 and sinners 268?”

 9:12 But when Jesus heard 191 [this], He said 3004, “[It is] not those 3588 who are healthy 2480 who need 5532 a physician 2395, but those 3588 who are sick 2560.

 9:13 “But go 4198 and learn 3129 what 5101 this means 1510: ‘I DESIRE 2309 COMPASSION 1656, AND NOT SACRIFICE 2378,’ for I did not come 2064 to call 2564 the righteous 1342, but sinners 268.”

 9:14 ¶ Then 5119 the disciples 3101 of John 2491 *came 4334 to Him, asking 3004, “Why 1223 5101 do we and the Pharisees 5330 fast 3522, but Your disciples 3101 do not fast 3522?”

 9:15 And Jesus 2424 said 3004 to them, “The attendants 5207 of the bridegroom 3567 cannot 1410 3361 mourn 3996 as long 3745 as the bridegroom 3566 is with them, can they? But the days 2250 will come 2064 when 3752 the bridegroom 3566 is taken 522 away 522 from them, and then 5119 they will fast 3522.

 9:16 “But no 3762 one 3762 puts 1911 a patch 1915 of unshrunk 46 cloth 4470 on an old 3820 garment 2440; for the patch 4138 pulls 142 away 142 from the garment 2440, and a worse 5501 tear 4978 results 1096.

 9:17 “Nor 3761 do [people] put 906 new 3501b wine 3631 into old 3820 wineskins 779; otherwise 1490b the wineskins 779 burst 4486, and the wine 3631 pours 1632a out and the wineskins 779 are ruined 622; but they put 906 new 3501b wine 3631 into fresh 2537 wineskins 779, and both 297 are preserved 4933.”

 9:18 ¶ While He was saying 2980 these 3778 things 3778 to them, a [synagogue] official 758 came 4334 and bowed 4352 down 4352 before 4352 Him, and said 3004, “My daughter 2364 has just 737 died 5053; but come 2064 and lay 2007 Your hand 5495 on her, and she will live 2198.”

 9:19 Jesus 2424 got 1453 up and [began] to follow 190 him, and [so did] His disciples 3101.

 9:20 ¶ And a woman 1135 who had been suffering 131 from a hemorrhage 131 for twelve 1427 years 2094, came 4334 up behind 3693 Him and touched 681 the fringe 2899 of His cloak 2440;

 9:21 for she was saying 3004 to herself 1438, “If 1437 I only 3440 touch 681 His garment 2440, I will get 4982 well 4982.”

 9:22 But Jesus 2424 turning 4762 and seeing 3708 her said 3004, “Daughter 2364, take 2293 courage 2293; your faith 4102 has made 4982 you well 4982.” At once 1565 5610 the woman 1135 was made 4982 well 4982.

 9:23 ¶ When Jesus 2424 came 2064 into the official’s 758 house 3614, and saw 3708 the flute-players 834 and the crowd 3793 in noisy 2350b disorder 2350b,

 9:24 He said 3004, “Leave 402; for the girl 2877 has not died 599, but is asleep 2518.” And they [began] laughing 2606 at Him.

 9:25 But when 3753 the crowd 3793 had been sent 1544b out, He entered 1525 and took 2902 her by the hand 5495, and the girl 2877 got 1453 up.

 9:26 This 3778 news 5345 spread 1831 throughout 1519 all 3650 that land 1093.

 9:27 ¶ As Jesus 2424 went 3855 on from there 1564, two 1417 blind 5185 men 5185 followed 190 Him, crying 2896 out, “Have 1653 mercy 1653 on us, Son 5207 of David 1160b!”

 9:28 When 1161 He entered 2064 the house 3614, the blind 5185 men 5185 came 4334 up to Him, and Jesus 2424 *said 3004 to them, “Do you believe 4100 that I am 1410 able 1410 to do 4160 this 3778?” They *said 3004 to Him, “Yes 3483a, Lord 2962.”

 9:29 Then 5119 He touched 681 their eyes 3788, saying 3004, “It shall be done 1096 to you according 2596 to your faith 4102.”

 9:30 And their eyes 3788 were opened 455. And Jesus 2424 sternly 1690 warned 1690 them: “See 3708 that no 3367 one 3367 knows 1097 [about this]!”

 9:31 But they went 1831 out and spread 1310 the news 1310 about Him throughout 1722 all 3650 that land 1093.

 9:32 ¶ As they were going 1831 out, a mute 2974, demon-possessed 1139 man 444 was brought 4374 to Him.

 9:33 After the demon 1140 was cast 1544b out, the mute 2974 man 2974 spoke 2980; and the crowds 3793 were amazed 2296, [and were] saying 3004, “Nothing 3763 like 3779 this 3779 has ever 3763 been seen 5316 in Israel 2474.”

 9:34 But the Pharisees 5330 were saying 3004, “He casts 1544b out the demons 1140 by the ruler 758 of the demons 1140.”

 9:35 ¶ Jesus 2424 was going 4013 through 4013 all 3956 the cities 4172 and villages 2968, teaching 1321 in their synagogues 4864 and proclaiming 2784 the gospel 2098 of the kingdom 932, and healing 2323 every 3956 kind 3956 of disease 3554 and every 3956 kind 3956 of sickness 3119.

 9:36 ¶ Seeing 3708 the people 3793, He felt 4697 compassion 4697 for them, because 3754 they were distressed 4660 and dispirited 4496 like 5616 sheep 4263b without 3361 2192 a shepherd 4166.

 9:37 Then 5119 He *said 3004 to His disciples 3101, “The harvest 2326 is plentiful 4183, but the workers 2040 are few 3641.

 9:38 “Therefore 3767 beseech 1189a the Lord 2962 of the harvest 2326 to send 1544b out workers 2040 into His harvest 2326.”
