Matthew 9

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.

Matthew 9
9
CHAPTER 9
1And Jesus went up into a boat, and passed over the water, and came into his city.
2And lo! they brought to him a man sick in palsy, lying in a bed. And Jesus saw the faith of them, and said to the man sick in palsy, Son, have thou trust; thy sins be forgiven to thee.
3And lo! some of the scribes said within themselves, This blasphemeth.
4And when Jesus had seen their thoughts, he said, Whereto think ye evil things in your hearts?
5What is lighter to say, Thy sins be forgiven to thee, either to say, Rise thou, and walk?
6But that ye know that man’s Son hath power to forgive sins in earth, then he said to the sick man in palsy [or the man sick in palsy], Rise up; take thy bed, and go into thine house.
7And he rose, and went into his house.
8And the people seeing dreaded, and glorified God, that gave such power to men.
9And when Jesus passed from thence, he saw a man, Matthew by name, sitting in a tollbooth. And he said to him, Pursue thou me. And he rose, and followed him.
10And it was done, while he sat at the meat in the house, lo! many publicans and sinful men came, and sat at the meat with Jesus and his disciples.
11And the Pharisees saw, and said to his disciples, Why eateth your master with publicans and sinful men?
12And Jesus heard, and said, A leech is not needful to men that fare well, but to men that be evil-at-ease [or having evil].
13But go ye, and learn what it is, I will mercy, and not sacrifice; for I came, not to call rightful [or rightwise] men, but sinful men to penance.
14Then the disciples of John came to him, and said, Why we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?
15And Jesus said to them, Whether the sons of the spouse may mourn [or wail] as long as the spouse is with them? But days shall come, when the spouse shall be taken away from them, and then they shall fast.
16And no man putteth a patch of rough cloth, [or of rude, or new, cloth], into an old clothing; for it doeth away [or taketh away] the fullness of the cloth, and a worse breaking is made.
17Neither men put new wine into old bottles [or old wine vessels], else the bottles [or wine vessels] be broken, and destroyed, and the wine shed out. But men put new wine into new bottles [or into new wine vessels], and both be kept.
18Whiles that Jesus spake these things to them, lo! a prince came, and worshipped him, and said, Lord, my daughter is now dead; but come thou, and put thine hand on her, and she shall live.
19And Jesus rose, and his disciples, and pursued him.
20And lo! a woman, that had a bloody flux, [or that suffered the running of blood], twelve years, nighed behind, and touched the hem of his cloth.
21For she said within herself, If I touch only the cloth of him, I shall be safe.
22And Jesus turned, and saw her, and said, Daughter, have thou trust; thy faith hath made thee safe. And the woman was [made] whole from that hour.
23And when Jesus came into the house of the prince, and saw minstrels, and the people making noise,
24he said, Go ye away, for the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth. And they scorned him.
25And when the folk was put out, he went in, and held her hand; and the damsel rose [up].
26And this fame went out into all that land.
27And when Jesus passed from thence, two blind men crying pursued him [or two blind men pursued him, crying], and said, Thou son of David, have mercy on us.
28And when he came into the house, the blind men came to him; and Jesus said to them, What will ye, that I do to you? And they said, Lord, that our eyes be opened. And Jesus said, Believe ye, that I may do this thing to you? They said to him, Yea, Lord.
29Then he touched their eyes, and said, After your faith be it done to you.
30And the eyes of them were opened. And Jesus threatened them, and said, See ye, that no man know.
31But they went out, and famed him through all that land.
32And when they were gone out, lo! they brought to him a dumb man, having a devil.
33And when the devil was cast out, the dumb man spake. And the people wondered, and said, It hath not been seen thus in Israel [or It appeared never so in Israel].
34But the Pharisees said, In the prince of devils he casteth out devils.
35And Jesus went about all the cities and castles, teaching in the synagogues of them, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every languor [or all ache], and every sickness.
36And he saw the people, and had ruth on them; for they were travailed, and lying as sheep not having a shepherd.
37Then he said to his disciples, Soothly there is much ripe corn, but few workmen.
38Therefore pray ye the Lord of the ripe corn, that he send workmen into his ripe corn.
