Matthew Chapter 9

9:1 And he entered into a ship, and passed over, ^aa and came into his own city.



9:2 And, ^ab behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and ^ac Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; ^ad thy sins be forgiven thee.



9:3 And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth.



9:4 And Jesus ^ae knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?



9:5 For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk?



9:6 But that ye may know that the Son ^af 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.



9:7 And he arose, and departed to his house.



9:8 But when the multitudes saw it , they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men.



9:9 ¶ And ^ag 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.



9:10 ¶ And ^ah 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.



9:11 And when the Pharisees saw it , they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master ^ai with publicans and ^aj sinners?



9:12 But when Jesus heard that , he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.



9:13 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, ^ak I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, ^al but sinners to repentance.



9:14 ¶ Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, ^am Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?



9:15 And Jesus said unto them, Can the ^an 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 ^ao then shall they fast.



9:16 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.



9:17 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.



9:18 ¶ While ^ap 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.



9:19 And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples.



9:20 ¶ And, ^aq behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him , and touched the hem of his garment:



9:21 For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.



9:22 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; ^ar thy faith hath made thee whole . And the woman was made whole from that hour.



9:23 And ^as when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw ^at the minstrels and the people making a noise,



9:24 He said unto them, ^au Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth . And they laughed him to scorn.




9:25 But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose.



9:26 And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.



9:27 ¶ And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, ^av Thou Son of David, have mercy on us.



9:28 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.



9:29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.



9:30 And ^aw their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See ^ax that no man know it .



9:31 But ^ay they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country.




9:32 ¶ As ^az they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil.



9:33 And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.



9:34 But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils.



9:35 And ^ba 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.



9:36 ¶ 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.



9:37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The ^bb harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;



9:38 Pray ^bc ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.
