Book 40 Matthew Chapter 009


009:001	And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into his own city.
009:002	And, 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.
009:003	And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth.
009:004	And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?
009:005	For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk?
009:006	But 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.
009:007	And he arose, and departed to his house.
009:008	But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men.
009:009	And 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.
009:010	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.
009:011	And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?
009:012	But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.
009:013	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.
009:014	Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?
009:015	And 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.
009:016	No 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.
009:017	Neither 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.
009:018	While 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.
009:019	And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples.
009:020	And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment:
009:021	For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.
009:022	But 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.
009:023	And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise,
009:024	He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.
009:025	But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose.
009:026	And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.
009:027	And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou son of David, have mercy on us.
009:028	And 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.
009:029	Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.
009:030	And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it.
009:031	But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country.
009:032	As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil.
009:033	And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.
009:034	But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils.
009:035	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.
009:036	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.
009:037	Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;
009:038	Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.
