Mattithyahu (Matthew) 9
9
1And entering into a boat, He passed over, and came to His own city.
2And see, they were bringing to Him a paralytic lying on a bed. And יהושע, seeing their belief, said to the paralytic, “Take courage, son, your sins have been forgiven.”
3And see, some of the scribes said to themselves, “This One blasphemes!”
4And יהושע, knowing their thoughts, said, “Why do you think wicked thoughts in your hearts?
5“For which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins have been forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Arise and walk’?
6“But in order for you to know that the Son of Aḏam possesses authority on earth to forgive sins...” He then said to the paralytic, “Rise, take up your bed, and go to your house.”
7And he rose and went to his house.
8And when the crowds saw it, they marvelled and praised Elohim who had given such authority to men.
9And as יהושע passed on from there, He saw a man called Mattithyahu sitting at the tax office. And He said to him, “Follow Me.” And he rose and followed Him.
10And it came to be, as יהושע sat at the table in the house, that see, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with Him and His taught ones.
11And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to His taught ones, “Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
12And יהושע hearing this, said to them, “Those who are strong have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.
13But go and learn what this means, ‘I desire compassion and not offering.’# Hosea 6:6 For I did not come to call the righteous to repentance, but sinners.
14Then the taught ones of Yoḥanan came to Him, saying, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but Your taught ones do not fast?”
15And יהושע said to them, “Are the friends of the bridegroom able to mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days shall come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they shall fast.
16“And no one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch pulls away from the garment, and the tear is made worse.
17“Neither do they put new wine into old wineskins, or else the wineskins burst, and the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined. But they put new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved.”
18While He was saying all this to them, see, a ruler came and bowed down to Him, saying, “My daughter is dead by now, but come and lay Your hand on her and she shall live.”
19And יהושע rose and followed him, His taught ones too.
20And see, a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years came from behind and touched the tzitzit#See Explanatory Notes "Tzitzit" and Num. 15:37-41; Deut. 22:12. of His garment.
21For she said to herself, “If I only touch His garment, I shall be healed.”
22But יהושע turned, and when He saw her He said, “Take courage, daughter, your belief has healed you.” And the woman was healed from that hour.
23And when יהושע came into the ruler’s house, and saw the flute players and the crowd making a noise,
24He said to them, “Go back, for the girl is not dead, but sleeping.” And they laughed at Him.
25But when the crowd was put outside, He went in and took her by the hand, and the girl arose.
26And this report went out into all that land.
27And as יהושע passed on from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out and saying, “Son of Dawiḏ, have compassion on us!”
28And when He came into the house, the blind men came to Him. And יהושע said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They said to Him, “Yes, Master.”
29Then He touched their eyes, saying, “According to your belief let it be to you.”
30And their eyes were opened. And יהושע strictly ordered them, saying, “See, let no one know.”
31But when they went out, they made Him known in all that land.
32And as they were going out, see, they brought to Him a man, dumb and demon-possessed.
33And when the demon was cast out, the dumb one spoke. And the crowds marvelled, saying, “It was never seen like this in Yisra’ĕl!”
34But the Pharisees said, “He casts out demons by the ruler of the demons.”
35And יהושע went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their congregations, and proclaiming the Good News of the reign, and healing every disease and every bodily weakness among the people.
36And having seen the crowds, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, as sheep having no shepherd.
37Then He said to His taught ones, “The harvest truly is great, but the workers are few.
38Pray then that the Master of the harvest would send out workers to His harvest.

Jesus Heals a Palsied Man
(Mark 2.1-12; Luke 5.17-26)
1And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into his own city. 2And, 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; thy sins be forgiven thee. 3And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth. 4And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts? 5For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk? 6But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house. 7And he arose, and departed to his house. 8But when the multitudes saw it, they marveled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men.
The Call of Matthew
(Mark 2.13-17; Luke 5.27-32)
9And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.

Luke 15.1,2. And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples. 11And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your master with publicans and sinners? 12But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. 13#Hos 6.6; Matt 12.7. But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
The Question about Fasting
(Mark 2.18-22; Luke 5.33-39)
14Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not? 15And Jesus said unto them, Can the children 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 shall they fast. 16No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment; for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse. 17Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.
The Ruler's Daughter and the Woman Who Touched Jesus' Garment
(Mark 5.21-43; Luke 8.40-56)
18While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler, 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, which 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 whole. 22But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole 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 sleepeth. 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 hereof went abroad into all that land.
Two Blind Men Receive Sight
27And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, 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 saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord. 29Then touched he 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 man know it. 31But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country.
A Dumb Man Speaks
32As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil. 33And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes marveled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel. 34#Matt 10.25; 12.24; Mark 3.22; Luke 11.15. But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils.
The Harvest Is Plenteous
35 #
Matt 4.23; Mark 1.39; Luke 4.44. 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. 36#1 Kgs 22.17; 2 Chr 18.16; Zech 10.2; Mark 6.34. 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. 37#Luke 10.2. Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the laborers are few; 38pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth laborers into his harvest.
