Matthew 9
1¶ And he entered into a ship and passed over and came into his own city.
2And, behold, they brought him a paralyzed man, lying on a bed; and Jesus, seeing their faith, said unto the paralyzed man, Trust, son; thy sins are forgiven thee.
3And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemes.
4And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Why think ye evil in your hearts?
5For what is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee, or to say, Arise, and walk?
6But that ye may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins (then said he to the paralyzed man), Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.
7Then he arose and departed to his house.
8And the multitude, seeing it, marvelled and glorified God, who had given such power unto men.
9¶ And as Jesus passed forth from there, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom; and he said unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him.
10And it came to pass, as he sat at food in his house, behold, many publicans and sinners that had come sat down at the table with Jesus and his disciples.
11And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why does your Master eat with publicans and sinners?
12But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, Those that are whole need not a physician, but those that are sick.
13Therefore go ye and learn what this is, I will have mercy and not sacrifice, for I am not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.
14¶ Then the disciples of John came to him, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but thy disciples do not fast?
15And Jesus said unto them, Can the sons 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 they shall fast.
16No one mends an old garment with a piece of new cloth, for that patch takes from the garment, and the rent is made worse.
17Neither do they put new wine into old wineskins, otherwise the wineskins break, and the wine runs out, and the wineskins perish; but they put new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved together.
18¶ While he spoke these things unto them, behold, a certain ruler came 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 who 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 free.
22But Jesus turned around, and when he saw her, he said, Trust, daughter; thy faith has made thee free. And the woman was free 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 sleeps. 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 of this went abroad into all that land.
27¶ And when Jesus departed from there, two blind men followed him, crying out 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 said unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yes, Lord.
29Then he touched 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 one knows it.
31But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country.
32And as they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a demon.
33And when the demon was cast out, the dumb man spoke; and the multitude marvelled, saying, Such a thing has never been seen in Israel.
34But the Pharisees said, He casts out demons through the prince of the demons.
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 weakness among the people.
36And when he saw the multitude, he was moved with compassion on them because they fainted and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.
37Then he said unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;
38pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.

Jesus Heals a Paralytic
1And getting into a boat he crossed over and came to #ch. 4:13; [Mark 2:1]his own city. 2#For ver. 2-8, see Mark 2:3-12; Luke 5:18-26 And behold, some people brought to him a paralytic, lying on a bed. And when Jesus #ver. 22, 29; ch. 8:10, 13; 15:28; Mark 10:52; Luke 7:9, 50; 17:19; 18:42; Acts 3:16; 14:9; James 5:15 saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, #ver. 22 “Take heart, my son; #Luke 7:48; [John 5:14]your sins are forgiven.” 3And behold, some of the scribes said to themselves, #ch. 26:65; John 10:36“This man is blaspheming.” 4But Jesus, #ch. 12:25; John 2:24, 25knowing#9:4 Some manuscripts perceiving their thoughts, said, “Why do you think evil in your hearts? 5For which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Rise and walk’? 6But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he then said to the paralytic—“Rise, pick up your bed and go home.” 7And he rose and went home. 8When the crowds saw it, #See Luke 7:16 they were afraid, and #See Luke 7:16 they glorified God, who had #ch. 28:18given such authority to men.
Jesus Calls Matthew
9 # For ver. 9-17, see Mark 2:14-22; Luke 5:27-38 As Jesus passed on from there, he saw a man called #ch. 10:3; Mark 3:18; Luke 6:15; Acts 1:13Matthew sitting at the tax booth, and he said to him, “Follow me.” And he rose and followed him.
10And as Jesus#9:10 Greek he reclined at table in the house, behold, many #ch. 11:19; See ch. 5:46tax collectors and sinners came and were reclining with Jesus and his disciples. 11And when the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, #[Luke 15:2] “Why does your teacher eat with #[See ver. 10 above]tax collectors and sinners?” 12But when he heard it, he said, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. 13Go and learn #ch. 12:7 what this means: #Cited from Hos. 6:6; [ch. 23:23; Mark 12:33] ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.’ For #[Luke 15:7; John 9:39] I came not to call the righteous, #1 Tim. 1:15but sinners.”
A Question About Fasting
14Then #ch. 11:2; 14:12; Luke 11:1; John 1:35; 3:25; 4:1; [Acts 18:25; 19:3] the disciples of John came to him, saying, #[ch. 15:2] “Why do we and #Luke 18:12the Pharisees fast,#9:14 Some manuscripts add much, or often but your disciples do not fast?” 15And Jesus said to them, #John 3:29 “Can the wedding guests mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? #See Luke 17:22 The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and #[John 16:20]then they will fast. 16No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch tears away from the garment, and a worse tear is made. 17Neither is new wine put into old #Josh. 9:4wineskins. If it is, the skins burst and the wine is spilled and the skins are destroyed. But new wine is put into fresh wineskins, and so both are preserved.”
A Girl Restored to Life and a Woman Healed
18 # For ver. 18-26, see Mark 5:22-43; Luke 8:41-56 While he was saying these things to them, behold, a ruler came in and #See ch. 8:2knelt before him, saying, “My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live.” 19And Jesus rose and followed him, with his disciples. 20And behold, a woman #Lev. 15:25 who had suffered from a discharge of blood for twelve years came up behind him and touched #ch. 14:36; 23:5; [Num. 15:38, 39; Deut. 22:12]the fringe of his garment, 21for she said to herself, “If I only touch his garment, I will be made well.” 22Jesus turned, and seeing her he said, #ver. 2; See Luke 7:50 “Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well.” #ch. 15:28; 17:18; [ch. 8:13]And instantly#9:22 Greek from that hour the woman was made well. 23And when Jesus came to the ruler’s house and saw #Rev. 18:22the flute players and the crowd making a commotion, 24he said, “Go away, for #[Acts 20:10] the girl is not dead but #John 11:4, 11sleeping.” And they laughed at him. 25But #Acts 9:40 when the crowd had been put outside, he went in and #Mark 9:27; Acts 3:7; 9:41took her by the hand, and the girl arose. 26And the report of this went through all that district.
Jesus Heals Two Blind Men
27 # [ch. 20:30-34] And as Jesus passed on from there, two blind men followed him, crying aloud, “Have mercy on us, #ch. 12:23; 15:22; 20:30, 31; 22:42; See ch. 1:1Son of David.” 28When he entered the house, the blind men came to him, and Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They said to him, “Yes, Lord.” 29#Mark 8:25; John 9:6 Then he touched their eyes, saying, #See ver. 2“According to your faith be it done to you.” 30And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly warned them, #See ch. 8:4“See that no one knows about it.” 31#Mark 1:45; 7:36But they went away and spread his fame through all that district.
Jesus Heals a Man Unable to Speak
32As they were going away, behold, a #[ch. 12:22-24; Luke 11:14, 15] demon-oppressed man who was mute #See ch. 4:24was brought to him. 33And when the demon had been cast out, the mute man spoke. And the crowds #[Mark 1:27]marveled, saying, “Never was anything like this seen in Israel.” 34But the Pharisees said, “He casts out demons by the prince of demons.”
The Harvest Is Plentiful, the Laborers Few
35 # See ch. 4:23, 24 And Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction. 36#[ch. 14:14] When he saw the crowds, #Mark 6:34 he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, #Num. 27:17; 1 Kgs. 22:17; Ezek. 34:5like sheep without a shepherd. 37#Luke 10:2; John 4:35Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; 38therefore #[2 Thess. 3:1] pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to #ch. 20:2; [Mark 1:12]send out laborers into his harvest.”
