Mat_09_01 And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into his own city.

Mat_09_02 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.

Mat_09_03 And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This [man] blasphemeth.

Mat_09_04 And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?

Mat_09_05 For whether is easier, to say, [Thy] sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk?

Mat_09_06 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.

Mat_09_07 And he arose, and departed to his house.

Mat_09_08 But when the multitude saw [it], they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men.

Mat_09_09 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.

Mat_09_10 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.

Mat_09_11 And when the Pharisees saw [it], they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?

Mat_09_12 But when Jesus heard [that], he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.

Mat_09_13 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.

Mat_09_14 Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?

Mat_09_15 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.

Mat_09_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.

Mat_09_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.

Mat_09_18 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.

Mat_09_19 And Jesus arose, and followed him, and [so did] his disciples.

Mat_09_20 And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind [him], and touched the hem of his garment:

Mat_09_21 For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.

Mat_09_22 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.

Mat_09_23 And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise,

Mat_09_24 He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.

Mat_09_25 But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose.

Mat_09_26 And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.

Mat_09_27 And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, [Thou] son of David, have mercy on us.

Mat_09_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.

Mat_09_29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.

Mat_09_30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See [that] no man know [it].

Mat_09_31 But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country.

Mat_09_32 As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil.

Mat_09_33 And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.

Mat_09_34 But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils.

Mat_09_35 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.

Mat_09_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.

Mat_09_37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly [is] plenteous, but the labourers [are] few;

Mat_09_38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.
