Matthew 9
9
1 And climbing into a boat, he crossed the sea, and he arrived at his own city.
2 And behold, they brought to him a paralytic, lying on a bed. And Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, "Be strengthened in faith, son; your sins are forgiven you."
3 And behold, some of the scribes said within themselves, "He is blaspheming."
4 And when Jesus had perceived their thoughts, he said: "Why do you think such evil in your hearts?
5 Which is easier to say, 'Your sins are forgiven you,' or to say, 'Rise up and walk?'
6 But, so that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins," he then said to the paralytic, "Rise up, take up your bed, and go into your house."
7 And he arose and went into his house.
8 Then the crowd, seeing this, was frightened, and they glorified God, who gave such power to men.
9 And when Jesus passed on from there, he saw, sitting at the tax office, a man named Matthew. And he said to him, "Follow me." And rising up, he followed him.
10 And it happened that, as he was sitting down to eat in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners arrived, and they sat down to eat with Jesus and his disciples.
11 And the Pharisees, seeing this, said to his disciples, "Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?"
12 But Jesus, hearing this, said: "It is not those who are healthy who are in need of a physician, but those who have maladies.
13 So then, go out and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy and not sacrifice.' For I have not come to call the just, but sinners."
14 Then the disciples of John drew near to him, saying, "Why do we and the Pharisees fast frequently, but your disciples do not fast?"
15 And Jesus said to them: "How can the sons of the groom mourn, while the groom is still with them? But the days will arrive when the groom will be taken away from them. And then they shall fast.
16 For no one would sew a patch of new cloth onto an old garment. For it pulls its fullness away from the garment, and the tear is made worse.
17 Neither do they pour new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wineskins rupture, and the wine pours out, and the wineskins are destroyed. Instead, they pour new wine into new wineskins. And so, both are preserved."
18 As he was speaking these things to them, behold, a certain ruler approached and adored him, saying: "Lord, my daughter has recently passed away. But come and impose your hand upon her, and she will live."
19 And Jesus, rising up, followed him, with his disciples.
20 And behold, a woman, who had suffered from a flow of blood for twelve years, approached from behind and touched the hem of his garment.
21 For she said within herself, "If I will touch even his garment, I shall be saved."
22 But Jesus, turning and seeing her, said: "Be strengthened in faith, daughter; your faith has made you well." And the woman was made well from that hour.
23 And when Jesus had arrived in the house of the ruler, and he had seen the musicians and the tumultuous crowd,
24 he said, "Depart. For the girl is not dead, but asleep." And they derided him.
25 And when the crowd had been sent away, he entered. And he took her by the hand. And the girl rose up.
26 And the news of this went out to that entire land.
27 And as Jesus passed from there, two blind men followed him, crying out and saying, "Take pity on us, Son of David."
28 And when he had arrived at the house, the blind men approached him. And Jesus said to them, "Do you trust that I am able to do this for you?" They say to him, "Certainly, Lord."
29 Then he touched their eyes, saying, "According to your faith, so let it be done for you."
30 And their eyes were opened. And Jesus warned them, saying, "See to it that no one knows of this."
31 But going out, they spread the news of it to all that land.
32 Then, when they had departed, behold, they brought him a man who was mute, having a demon.
33 And after the demon was cast out, the mute man spoke. And the crowds wondered, saying, "Never has anything like this been seen in Israel."
34 But the Pharisees said, "By the prince of demons does he cast out demons."
35 And Jesus traveled throughout all of the cities and towns, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the Gospel of the kingdom, and healing every illness and every infirmity.
36 Then, seeing the multitudes, he had compassion on them, because they were distressed and were reclining, like sheep without a shepherd.
37 Then he said to his disciples: "The harvest indeed is great, but the laborers are few.
38 Therefore, petition the Lord of the harvest, so that he may sent out laborers to his harvest."

Mattityahu (Mat) 9
9
1So he stepped into a boat, crossed the lake again and came to his own town. 2Some people brought him a paralyzed man lying on a mattress. When Yeshua saw their trust, he said to the paralyzed man, “Courage, son! Your sins are forgiven.” 3On seeing this, some of the Torah-teachers said among themselves, “This man is blaspheming!” 4Yeshua, knowing what they were thinking, said, “Why are you entertaining evil thoughts in your hearts? 5Tell me, which is easier to say — ‘Your sins are forgiven’ or ‘Get up and walk’? 6But look! I will prove to you that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.” He then said to the paralyzed man, “Get up, pick up your mattress, and go home!” 7And the man got up and went home. 8When the crowds saw this, they were awestruck and said a b’rakhah to God the Giver of such authority to human beings.
9As Yeshua passed on from there he spotted a tax-collector named Mattityahu sitting in his collection booth. He said to him, “Follow me!” and he got up and followed him.
10While Yeshua was in the house eating, many tax-collectors and sinners came and joined him and his talmidim at the meal. 11When the P’rushim saw this, they said to his talmidim, “Why does your rabbi eat with tax-collectors and sinners?” 12But Yeshua heard the question and answered, “The ones who need a doctor aren’t the healthy but the sick. 13As for you, go and learn what this means: ‘I want compassion rather than animal-sacrifices.’ For I didn’t come to call the ‘righteous,’ but sinners!”
14Next, Yochanan’s talmidim came to him and asked, “Why is it that we and the P’rushim fast frequently, but your talmidim don’t fast at all?” 15Yeshua said to them, “Can wedding guests mourn while the bridegroom is still with them? But the time will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them; then they will fast. 16No one patches an old coat with a piece of unshrunk cloth, because the patch tears away from the coat and leaves a worse hole. 17Nor do people put new wine in old wineskins; if they do, the skins burst, the wine spills and the wineskins are ruined. No, they pour new wine into freshly prepared wineskins, and in this way both are preserved.”
18While he was talking, an official came in, kneeled down in front of him and said, “My daughter has just died. But if you come and lay your hand on her, she will live.” 19Yeshua, with his talmidim, got up and followed him.
20A woman who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years approached him from behind and touched the tzitzit on his robe. 21For she said to herself, “If I can only touch his robe, I will be healed.” 22Yeshua turned, saw her and said, “Courage, daughter! Your trust has healed you.” And she was instantly healed.
23When Yeshua arrived at the official’s house and saw the flute-players, and the crowd in an uproar, 24he said, “Everybody out! The girl isn’t dead, she’s only sleeping!” And they jeered at him. 25But after the people had been put outside, he entered and took hold of the girl’s hand, and she got up. 26News of this spread through all that region.
27As Yeshua went on from there, two blind men began following him, shouting, “Son of David! Take pity on us!” 28When he entered the house, the blind men came up, and Yeshua said to them, “Do you believe that I have the power to do this?” They replied, “Yes, sir.” 29Then he touched their eyes and said, “Let it happen to you according to your trust”; 30and their sight was restored. Yeshua warned them severely, “See that no one knows about it.” 31But instead, they went away and talked about him throughout that district.
32As they were going, a man controlled by a demon and unable to speak was brought to Yeshua. 33After the demon was expelled the man who had been mute spoke, and the crowds were amazed. “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Isra’el,” they said. 34But the P’rushim said, “It is through the ruler of the demons that he expels demons.”
35Yeshua went about all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the Good News of the Kingdom, and healing every kind of disease and weakness. 36When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them because they were harried and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37Then he said to his talmidim, “The harvest is rich, but the workers are few. 38Pray that the Lord of the harvest will send out workers to gather in his harvest.”
