Matthew 9
1¶ And he entered into a ship and passed over and came into his own city.
2And, behold, they brought him a paralyzed man, lying on a bed; and Jesus, seeing their faith, said unto the paralyzed man, Trust, son; thy sins are forgiven thee.
3And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemes.
4And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Why think ye evil in your hearts?
5For what is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee, or to say, Arise, and walk?
6But that ye may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins (then said he to the paralyzed man), Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.
7Then he arose and departed to his house.
8And the multitude, seeing it, marvelled and glorified God, who had given such power unto men.
9¶ And as Jesus passed forth from there, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom; and he said unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him.
10And it came to pass, as he sat at food in his house, behold, many publicans and sinners that had come sat down at the table with Jesus and his disciples.
11And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why does your Master eat with publicans and sinners?
12But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, Those that are whole need not a physician, but those that are sick.
13Therefore go ye and learn what this is, I will have mercy and not sacrifice, for I am not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.
14¶ Then the disciples of John came to him, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but thy disciples do not fast?
15And Jesus said unto them, Can the sons 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 they shall fast.
16No one mends an old garment with a piece of new cloth, for that patch takes from the garment, and the rent is made worse.
17Neither do they put new wine into old wineskins, otherwise the wineskins break, and the wine runs out, and the wineskins perish; but they put new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved together.
18¶ While he spoke these things unto them, behold, a certain ruler came and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead; but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.
19And Jesus arose and followed him, and so did his disciples.
20And, behold, a woman who was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years came behind him and touched the hem of his garment;
21for she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be free.
22But Jesus turned around, and when he saw her, he said, Trust, daughter; thy faith has made thee free. And the woman was free from that hour.
23And when Jesus came into the ruler’s house and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise,
24he said unto them, Give place, for the maid is not dead, but sleeps. And they laughed him to scorn.
25But when the people were put forth, he went in and took her by the hand, and the maid arose.
26And the fame of this went abroad into all that land.
27¶ And when Jesus departed from there, two blind men followed him, crying out and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us.
28And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him; and Jesus said unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yes, Lord.
29Then he touched their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.
30And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no one knows it.
31But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country.
32And as they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a demon.
33And when the demon was cast out, the dumb man spoke; and the multitude marvelled, saying, Such a thing has never been seen in Israel.
34But the Pharisees said, He casts out demons through the prince of the demons.
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 weakness among the people.
36And when he saw the multitude, he was moved with compassion on them because they fainted and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.
37Then he said unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;
38pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.

Matthew 9
9
Jesus made 2 blind men see again
27Jesus was walking along, and 2 blind men followed him. They kept on shouting to him, “You belong to David’s family, and you are the special man that God promised to send. Please, feel sorry for us, and help us.”
28Jesus went into a house, and the blind men went to him. He asked them, “Do you believe that I can make your eyes good, so you will see again?”
The men said, “Yes, sir, we believe that you can do that.”
29Then Jesus touched the men’s eyes and said, “You believed in me, so you will see again.” 30Then straight away, those men could see again.
Jesus told them strongly, “Don’t tell anybody about this.” 31But they went away and told everybody in that country that Jesus made their eyes better.
Jesus forced the bad spirit out of a man that couldn’t talk
32Jesus and his followers started to walk along the road away from that place. Then some people brought a man to Jesus that had a bad spirit living inside him, so he couldn’t talk. 33Jesus said to that bad spirit, “Get out of this man.” Then the bad spirit went out of that man, and he started to talk.
Everybody there was very surprised. They said, “Nothing like that ever happened before in our country, called Israel.”
(We have not yet translated 9:34-36. You can read those stories and messages in Mark 1:14-15; 1:39; 3:22; 6:34.)
Jesus needs workers
37Jesus said to his followers, “Lots of people need to hear about me. They are ready to listen, but nobody is telling them. They are like a big crop of food plants on a farm that are ready for the workers to get their seeds for food. But there are only a few workers. The farmer needs a lot of workers to bring all those seeds into the shed, and in the same way I need a lot of workers to tell people about me, and bring them to God. 38So you have to ask God to send more workers out to tell everyone about me, just like the farmer has to ask for more workers for his crop.”#Luke 10:2
