Matthew 9
9
1Then hee entred into a shippe, and passed ouer, and came into his owne citie. 2And loe, they brought to him a man sicke of the palsie, laid on a bed. And Iesus seeing their faith, saide to the sicke of the palsie, Sonne, be of good comfort: thy sinnes are forgiuen thee. 3And beholde, certaine of the Scribes saide with themselues, This man blasphemeth. 4But when Iesus saw their thoughts, he said, Wherefore thinke yee euil things in your hearts? 5For whether is it easier to say, Thy sinnes are forgiuen thee, or to say, Arise, and walke? 6And that ye may knowe that the Sonne of man hath authoritie in earth to forgiue sinnes, (then saide he vnto the sicke of the palsie,) Arise, take vp thy bed, and goe to thine house. 7And hee arose, and departed to his owne house. 8So when the multitude sawe it, they marueiled, and glorified God, which had giuen such authoritie to men. 9And as Iesus passed foorth from thence, hee sawe a man sitting at the custome, named Matthewe, and saide to him, Followe me. And he arose, and followed him. 10And it came to passe, as Iesus sate at meate in his house, beholde, many Publicanes and sinners, that came thither, sate downe at the table with Iesus and his disciples. 11And when the Pharises sawe that, they saide to his disciples, Why eateth your master with Publicanes and sinners? 12Nowe when Iesus heard it, hee sayde vnto them, The whole neede not a Physition, but they that are sicke. 13But goe yee and learne what this is, I will haue mercie, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but the sinners to repentance. 14Then came the disciples of Iohn to him, saying, Why doe we and the Pharises fast oft, and thy disciples fast not? 15And Iesus saide vnto them, Can the children of the marriage chamber mourne as long as the bridegrome is with them? But the daies will come, when the bridegrome shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast. 16Moreouer no man pieceth an olde garment with a piece of newe cloth: for that that should fill it vp, taketh away from the garment, and the breach is worse. 17Neither doe they put newe wine into olde vessels: for then the vessels would breake, and the wine woulde be spilt, and the vessels shoulde perish: but they put new wine into newe vessels, and so are both preserued. 18While hee thus spake vnto them, beholde, there came a certaine ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is nowe deceased, but come and laie thine hande on her, and shee shall liue. 19And Iesus arose and followed him with his disciples. 20(And beholde, a woman which was diseased with an issue of blood twelue yeres, came behinde him, and touched the hemme of his garment. 21For shee saide in her selfe, If I may touche but his garment onely, I shalbe whole. 22Then Iesus turned him about, and seeing her, did say, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole at that same moment.) 23Nowe when Iesus came into the Rulers house, and saw the minstrels and the multitude making noise, 24He said vnto them, Get you hence: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorne. 25And when the multitude were put foorth, hee went in and tooke her by the hande, and the maide arose. 26And this bruite went throughout all that lande. 27And as Iesus departed thence, two blinde men followed him, crying, and saying, O sonne of Dauid, haue mercie vpon vs. 28And when hee was come into the house, the blinde came to him, and Iesus saide vnto them, Beleeue yee that I am able to doe this? And they sayd vnto him, Yea, Lord. 29Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it vnto you. 30And their eyes were opened, and Iesus gaue them great charge, saying, See that no man knowe it. 31But when they were departed, they spread abroad his fame throughout all that land. 32And as they went out, beholde, they brought to him a domme man possessed with a deuill. 33And when the deuill was cast out, the domme spake: then the multitude marueiled, saying, The like was neuer seene in Israel. 34But the Pharises saide, He casteth out deuils, through the prince of deuils. 35And Iesus went about all cities and townes, teaching in their Synagogues, and preaching the Gospel of the kingdome, and healing euery sickenesse and euery disease among the people. 36But when he saw the multitude, he had compassion vpon them, because they were dispersed, and scattered abroade, as sheepe hauing no shepheard. 37Then saide he to his disciples, Surely the haruest is great, but the labourers are fewe. 38Wherefore pray the Lord of the haruest, that he woulde sende foorth labourers into his haruest.

Matthew 9
9
1And going on board the ship, he passed over and came to his own city. 2And behold, they brought to him a paralytic, laid upon a bed; and Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, Be of good courage, child; thy sins are forgiven. 3And behold, certain of the scribes said to themselves, This man blasphemes. 4And Jesus, seeing their thoughts, said, Why do ye think evil things in your hearts? 5For which is easier: to say, Thy sins are forgiven; or to say, Rise up and walk? 6But that ye may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, (then he says to the paralytic,) Rise up, take up thy bed and go to thy house. 7And he rose up and went to his house. 8But the crowds seeing it, were in fear, and glorified God who gave such power to men.
9And Jesus, passing on thence, saw a man sitting at the tax-office, called Matthew, and says to him, Follow me. And he rose up and followed him. 10And it came to pass, as he lay at table in the house, that behold, many tax-gatherers and sinners came and lay at table with Jesus and his disciples. 11And the Pharisees seeing it, said to his disciples, Why does your teacher eat with tax-gatherers and sinners? 12But Jesus hearing it, said, They that are strong have not need of a physician, but those that are ill. 13But go and learn what that is — I will have mercy and not sacrifice; for I have not come to call righteous men but sinners.
14Then come to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees often fast, but thy disciples fast not? 15And Jesus said to them, Can the sons of the bridechamber mourn so long as the bridegroom is with them? But days will come when the bridegroom will have been taken away from them, and then they will fast. 16But no one puts a patch of new cloth on an old garment, for its filling up takes from the garment and a worse rent takes place. 17Nor do men put new wine into old skins, otherwise the skins burst and the wine is poured out, and the skins will be destroyed; but they put new wine into new skins, and both are preserved together.
18As he spoke these things to them, behold, a ruler coming in did homage to him, saying, My daughter has by this died; but come and lay thy hand upon her and she shall live. 19And Jesus rose up and followed him, and so did his disciples. 20And behold, a woman, who had had a bloody flux for twelve years, came behind and touched the hem of his garment; 21for she said within herself, If I should only touch his garment I shall be healed. 22But Jesus turning and seeing her, said, Be of good courage, daughter; thy faith has healed thee. And the woman was healed from that hour. 23And when Jesus was come to the house of the ruler, and saw the flute-players and the crowd making a tumult, 24he said, Withdraw, for the damsel is not dead, but sleeps. And they derided him. 25But when the crowd had been put out, he went in and took her hand; and the damsel rose up. 26And the fame of it went out into all that land.
27And as Jesus passed on thence, two blind men followed him, crying and saying, Have mercy on us, Son of David. 28And when he was come to the house, the blind men came to him. And Jesus says to them, Do ye believe that I am able to do this? They say to him, Yea, Lord. 29Then he touched their eyes, saying, According to your faith, be it unto you. 30And their eyes were opened; and Jesus charged them sharply, saying, See, let no man know it. 31But they, when they were gone out, spread his name abroad in all that land. 32But as these were going out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed by a demon. 33And the demon having been cast out, the dumb spake. And the crowds were astonished, saying, It has never been seen thus in Israel. 34But the Pharisees said, He casts out the demons through the prince of the demons.
35And Jesus went round all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the glad tidings of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every bodily weakness. 36But when he saw the crowds he was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed, and cast away as sheep not having a shepherd. 37Then saith he to his disciples, The harvest is great and the workmen are few; 38supplicate therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth workmen unto his harvest.
