Mattityahu 9
9
1And, having embarked into a sirah (boat), Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach crossed over#9:1 to the other side of the lake and came into his own shtetl.
2And hinei! They brought to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach a paralytic lying upon a mat. Having seen their emunah, he said to the paralytic, Chazak! (Be strong!) Selicha (forgiveness) is granted on your averos (sins)!
3And hinei! Some of the Sofrim said to themselves, This one commits Chillul Hashem!#9:3 Lv 22:32
4And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, reading their minds, said, Why are you thinking ra'ah (evil) in your levavot (hearts)?
5For which is easier to say, Selicha is granted on your averos! Or…Arise and walk!?
6But in order that you may have da'as that the Bar Enosh#9:6 Moshiach has samchut (authority) on earth to pronounce selicha (forgiveness) on chattaim (sins) Moshiach then declared to the paralytic, Arise, take up your mat and go to your bais (house).
7And arising, he went away to his bais.
8And having witnessed this, the multitudes experienced yirat Shomayim and gave kavod to Hashem, who had given such samchut to men.
9And going away from there, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach saw a man called Mattityahu sitting in the tax office. And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to him, Follow me. And Mattityahu arose and followed him.
10And it came about that while Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was sitting bimesibba (reclining) at tish (table) in the bais, hinei! Many mochesim (tax collectors) and chote'im (sinners) came and were sitting bimesibba (reclining) at tish (table) with Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach and his talmidim.
11When the Perushim saw this, they were saying to Moshiachʼs talmidim, Why does your Rebbe eat with the mochesim and the chote'im?
12But when Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach heard this, he said, It is not the bariim (healthy ones) who have need of a rofeh (physician), but the cholim.
13Go and learn what this means: CHESED CHAFATZTI VLO ZEVACH#9:13 Hos 6:6 (I desire loving kindness and not sacrifice), for I have not come to call the tzaddikim but the chote'im (sinners).#9:13 to teshuva
14Then Yochananʼs talmidim approached Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, saying, Why do we and the Perushim often undergo tzomot (fasts), but your talmidim do not undergo tzomot?
15And Moshiach said to them, Surely the Bnei HaChuppah (wedding invitees) are not able to act as avelim (mourners) as long as the Choson (Bridegroom),#9:15 i.e., Moshiach is with them. But the days will come when the Choson is taken away from them, and then they will undergo tzomot.
16No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch pulls away from the garment, and a worse tear results.
17Neither do men put yayin chadash (new wine) into old wineskins; otherwise, the wineskins burst, and the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined. But they pour yayin chadash into new wineskins, and both are preserved.
18While Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was speaking these things to them one of the nichbadim (dignitaries)#9:18 of the shul came and fell down before Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, saying, The bat (daughter) of me has just become niftar (passed away), but come lay your hand upon her and she will live.
19And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach got up and, with his talmidim, followed him.
20And hinei! An isha (woman) hemorrhaging twelve years approached him from behind and touched the garment of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiachʼs tzitzit.
21For she was saying to herself, If only I might touch his garment, I will receive refuah (healing).
22Turning and seeing her, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, Chazak, bat (daughter) of me! Your emunah has brought you refuah. And the isha was healed from that hour.
23And having come into the bais (house) of the nichbad (dignitary), and having seen the flute players and the unruly crowd,
24Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was saying, Go away! For the yaldah is not among the mesim — she sleeps! And they were making leitzonus (mockery, fun) of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.
25But when the crowd had been put outside, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach went in and took the yaldah by the hand and the yaldah was made to stand up alive.
26And this report went out into all that region.
27And as Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach went on from there, two ivrim (blind men) followed him, shouting loudly, Chaneinu, Ben Dovid!
28And when Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach#9:28 Ben Dovid entered the bais (house), the ivrim (blind men) approached him, and he says to them, Do you have emunah that I am able to do this? They say to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, Ken, Adoneinu.
29Then Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach touched their eyes, saying, According to your emunah, let it be done for you.
30And their eyes were opened. Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach sternly warned them, saying, See to it that no one knows!
31But having gone out, they made him known in that entire district.
32After they had departed, the people brought to him a mute man who was possessed by shedim.
33And when the shedim had been cast out by Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, the mute man spoke. And the multitudes marveled, saying, Never was anything like this seen in Eretz Yisroel!
34But the Perushim said, It was by the Sar HaShedim (the Prince of Demons) that this man casts out shedim!
35And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach went about all the shtetlach and villages exercising the ministry of moreh (teacher) in their shuls and of darshan (preacher) of the Besuras HaGeulah of the Malchut Hashem and bringing refuah to all the cholim, every machla (disease) and every illness.
36And looking out on the multitudes, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach felt rachmei Shomayim (heavenly compassion and mercy) for his people, for they were distressed and weary KATZON ASHER EIN LAHEM ROEH#9:36 Num 27:17 (like sheep without a shepherd).
37Then Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to his talmidim, The katzir (harvest) is indeed great but the kotzerim (harvesters) are few.
38Therefore, offer tefillos to the Adon HaKatzir (the L-rd of the Harvest) that He may send out Kotzerim into His Katzir.

Matthew 9
9
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.
