Matthew 9
American Standard Version
9 And he entered into a boat, and crossed over, and came into his own city. 2 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, [a]Son, be of good cheer; thy sins are forgiven. 3 And behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth. 4 And Jesus [b]knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts? 5 For which is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven; or to say, Arise, and walk? 6 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath authority on earth to forgive sins (then saith he to the sick of the palsy), Arise, and take up thy bed, and go unto thy house. 7 And he arose, and departed to his house. 8 But when the multitudes saw it, they were afraid, and glorified God, who had given such authority unto men.
9 And as Jesus passed by from thence, he saw a man, called Matthew, sitting at the place of toll: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.
10 And it came to pass, as he [c]sat at meat in the house, behold, many [d]publicans and sinners came and sat down with Jesus and his disciples. 11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Teacher with the [e]publicans and sinners? 12 But when he heard it, he said, They that are [f]whole have no need of a physician, but they that are sick. 13 But go ye and learn what this meaneth, [g]I desire mercy, and not sacrifice: for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.
14 Then come to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast [h]oft, but thy disciples fast not? 15 And Jesus said unto them, Can the [i]sons of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then will they fast. 16 And no man putteth a piece of undressed cloth upon an old garment; for that which should fill it up taketh from the garment, and a worse rent is made. 17 Neither do men put new wine into old [j]wine-skins: else the skins burst, and the wine is spilled, and the skins perish: but they put new wine into fresh wine-skins, and both are preserved.
18 While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came [k]a ruler, and [l]worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live. 19 And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples. 20 And behold, a woman, who had an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: 21 for she said within herself, If I do but touch his garment, I shall be [m]made whole. 22 But Jesus turning and seeing her said, Daughter, be of good cheer; thy faith hath [n]made thee whole. And the woman was [o]made whole from that hour. 23 And when Jesus came into the ruler’s house, and saw the flute-players, and the crowd making a tumult, 24 he said, Give place: for the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn. 25 But when the crowd was put forth, he entered in, and took her by the hand; and the damsel arose. 26 And [p]the fame hereof went forth into all that land.
27 And as Jesus passed by from thence, two blind men followed him, crying out, and saying, Have mercy on us, thou son of David. 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 say unto him, Yea, Lord. 29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it done unto you. 30 And their eyes were opened. And Jesus [q]strictly charged them, saying, See that no man know it. 31 But they went forth, and spread abroad his fame in all that land.
32 And as they went forth, behold, there was brought to him a dumb man possessed with a demon. 33 And when the demon was cast out, the dumb man spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel. 34 But the Pharisees said, [r]By the prince of the demons casteth he out demons.
35 And Jesus went about all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the [s]gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of disease and all manner of sickness. 36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them, because they were distressed and scattered, as sheep not having a shepherd. 37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest indeed is plenteous, but the laborers are few. 38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth laborers into his harvest.

Mateo 9
La Palabra (España)
Curación de un paralítico (Mc 2,1-12; Lc 5,17-26)
9 Después de esto, Jesús subió de nuevo a la barca, pasó a la otra orilla del lago y se dirigió a la ciudad donde vivía. 2 Allí le llevaron un paralítico echado en una camilla. Viendo Jesús la fe de los que lo llevaban, dijo al paralítico:
— Ánimo, hijo. Tus pecados quedan perdonados.
3 Entonces algunos maestros de la ley se dijeron: “Este blasfema”. 4 Pero Jesús, que leía sus pensamientos, les dijo:
— ¿Por qué pensáis mal? 5 ¿Qué es más fácil? ¿Decir: “Tus pecados quedan perdonados”, o decir: “Levántate y anda”? 6 Pues voy a demostraros que el Hijo del hombre tiene autoridad en este mundo para perdonar pecados.
Se volvió entonces al paralítico y le dijo:
— Levántate, recoge tu camilla y vete a tu casa.
7 Y él se levantó y se fue a su casa. 8 Los que estaban allí presentes quedaron sobrecogidos al ver esto, y alabaron a Dios, porque había dado tal autoridad a los humanos.
Jesús llama a Mateo (Mc 2,13-17; Lc 5,27-32)
9 Jesús continuó su camino. Al pasar vio a un hombre llamado Mateo que estaba sentado en su despacho de recaudación de impuestos, y le dijo:
— Sígueme.
Mateo se levantó y lo siguió.
10 Más tarde, estando Jesús sentado a la mesa en casa de Mateo, acudieron muchos recaudadores de impuestos y gente de mala reputación, que se sentaron también a la mesa con Jesús y sus discípulos. 11 Los fariseos, al verlo, preguntaron a los discípulos:
— ¿Cómo es que vuestro Maestro se sienta a comer con esa clase de gente?
12 Jesús lo oyó y les dijo:
— No necesitan médico los que están sanos, sino los que están enfermos. 13 A ver si aprendéis lo que significa aquello de: Yo no quiero que me ofrezcáis sacrificios, sino que seáis compasivos. Yo no he venido a llamar a los buenos, sino a los pecadores.
La cuestión del ayuno (Mc 2,18-22; Lc 5,33-39)
14 Entonces se acercaron a Jesús los discípulos de Juan el Bautista y le preguntaron:
— ¿Por qué nosotros y los fariseos ayunamos tantas veces y, en cambio, tus discípulos no ayunan?
15 Jesús les contestó:
— ¿Pueden acaso estar tristes los invitados a una boda mientras el novio está con ellos? Ya llegará el momento en que les faltará el novio; entonces ayunarán. 16 Nadie remienda un vestido viejo con una pieza de tela nueva, porque el remiendo tira de la tela, y el roto se hace mayor. 17 Tampoco se echa vino nuevo en odres viejos, porque los odres se revientan, se derrama el vino y se pierden los odres. El vino nuevo hay que echarlo en odres nuevos, para que ambas cosas se conserven.
La hija del dignatario y la mujer enferma (Mc 5,21-43; Lc 8,40-56)
18 Mientras Jesús les estaba diciendo estas cosas, se le acercó un dignatario que, arrodillándose delante de él, le dijo:
— Mi hija acaba de morir; pero si tú vienes y pones tu mano sobre ella, volverá a vivir.
19 Jesús se levantó y, seguido de sus discípulos, fue con él.
20 En esto, una mujer que padecía hemorragias desde hacía doce años, se acercó por detrás a Jesús y tocó el borde de su manto, 21 pues pensaba para sí misma: “Con sólo tocar su manto, me curaré”. 22 Pero Jesús se volvió y, al verla, le dijo:
— Ánimo, hija, tu fe te ha salvado.
Y en aquel mismo instante la mujer recuperó la salud.
23 Cuando Jesús llegó a casa del dignatario y vio a los flautistas y a la gente que se lamentaba, dijo:
24 — Salid de aquí. La muchacha no está muerta; está dormida.
Al oír esto, todos se rieron de Jesús; 25 pero él, después que salió la gente, pasó adentro, tomó a la muchacha por la mano y ella se levantó. 26 Y la noticia de este suceso se extendió por toda aquella región.
Curación de dos ciegos
27 Al salir Jesús de allí, lo siguieron dos ciegos que suplicaban a voces:
— ¡Ten compasión de nosotros, Hijo de David!
28 Cuando entró en casa, los ciegos se le acercaron y Jesús les preguntó:
— ¿Creéis que puedo hacer esto?
Ellos le contestaron:
— Sí, Señor.
29 Entonces les tocó los ojos y dijo:
— Que se haga en vosotros conforme a la fe que tenéis.
30 Se les abrieron al punto los ojos y Jesús les ordenó:
— Procurad que nadie lo sepa.
31 Ellos, sin embargo, en cuanto salieron, comenzaron a divulgarlo por toda la región.
Curación de un mudo
32 Acababan de irse los ciegos cuando se acercaron unos a Jesús y le presentaron un mudo que estaba poseído por un demonio. 33 En cuanto Jesús expulsó al demonio, el mudo comenzó a hablar. Y los que lo presenciaron decían asombrados:
— ¡Nunca se ha visto en Israel nada parecido!
34 En cambio, los fariseos decían:
— El propio jefe de los demonios es quien le da a este el poder para expulsarlos.
Mucha mies y pocos trabajadores
35 Jesús recorría todos los pueblos y aldeas enseñando en las sinagogas judías. Anunciaba la buena noticia del Reino y curaba toda clase de enfermedades y dolencias. 36 Y al ver a toda aquella gente, se sentía conmovido porque estaban maltrechos y desalentados, como ovejas sin pastor. 37 Dijo entonces a sus discípulos:
— La mies es mucha, pero son pocos los trabajadores. 38 Por eso, pedidle al dueño de la mies que mande trabajadores a su mies.
Matthew 9
New International Version
Jesus Forgives and Heals a Paralyzed Man(A)
9 Jesus stepped into a boat, crossed over and came to his own town.(B) 2 Some men brought to him a paralyzed man,(C) lying on a mat. When Jesus saw their faith,(D) he said to the man, “Take heart,(E) son; your sins are forgiven.”(F)
3 At this, some of the teachers of the law said to themselves, “This fellow is blaspheming!”(G)
4 Knowing their thoughts,(H) Jesus said, “Why do you entertain evil thoughts in your hearts? 5 Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’? 6 But I want you to know that the Son of Man(I) has authority on earth to forgive sins.” So he said to the paralyzed man, “Get up, take your mat and go home.” 7 Then the man got up and went home. 8 When the crowd saw this, they were filled with awe; and they praised God,(J) who had given such authority to man.
The Calling of Matthew(K)
9 As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector’s booth. “Follow me,”(L) he told him, and Matthew got up and followed him.
10 While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with him and his disciples. 11 When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”(M)
12 On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. 13 But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’[a](N) For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”(O)
Jesus Questioned About Fasting(P)
14 Then John’s(Q) disciples came and asked him, “How is it that we and the Pharisees fast often,(R) but your disciples do not fast?”
15 Jesus answered, “How can the guests of the bridegroom mourn while he is with them?(S) The time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.(T)
16 “No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch will pull away from the garment, making the tear worse. 17 Neither do people pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst; the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.”
Jesus Raises a Dead Girl and Heals a Sick Woman(U)
18 While he was saying this, a synagogue leader came and knelt before him(V) and said, “My daughter has just died. But come and put your hand on her,(W) and she will live.” 19 Jesus got up and went with him, and so did his disciples.
20 Just then a woman who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak.(X) 21 She said to herself, “If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed.”
22 Jesus turned and saw her. “Take heart,(Y) daughter,” he said, “your faith has healed you.”(Z) And the woman was healed at that moment.(AA)
23 When Jesus entered the synagogue leader’s house and saw the noisy crowd and people playing pipes,(AB) 24 he said, “Go away. The girl is not dead(AC) but asleep.”(AD) But they laughed at him. 25 After the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took the girl by the hand, and she got up.(AE) 26 News of this spread through all that region.(AF)
Jesus Heals the Blind and the Mute
27 As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him, calling out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!”(AG)
28 When he had gone indoors, the blind men came to him, and he asked them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?”
“Yes, Lord,” they replied.(AH)
29 Then he touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith let it be done to you”;(AI) 30 and their sight was restored. Jesus warned them sternly, “See that no one knows about this.”(AJ) 31 But they went out and spread the news about him all over that region.(AK)
32 While they were going out, a man who was demon-possessed(AL) and could not talk(AM) was brought to Jesus. 33 And when the demon was driven out, the man who had been mute spoke. The crowd was amazed and said, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel.”(AN)
34 But the Pharisees said, “It is by the prince of demons that he drives out demons.”(AO)
The Workers Are Few
35 Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness.(AP) 36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them,(AQ) because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.(AR) 37 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest(AS) is plentiful but the workers are few.(AT) 38 Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”

Darby Translation
9 And going on board the ship, he passed over and came to his own city.
2 And behold, they brought to him a paralytic, laid upon a bed; and Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, Be of good courage, child; thy sins are forgiven.
3 And behold, certain of the scribes said to themselves, This [man] blasphemes.
4 And Jesus, seeing their thoughts, said, Why do *ye* think evil things in your hearts?
5 For which is easier: to say, Thy sins are forgiven; or to say, Rise up and walk?
6 But that ye may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, (then he says to the paralytic,) Rise up, take up thy bed and go to thy house.
7 And he rose up and went to his house.
8 But the crowds seeing [it], were in fear, and glorified God who gave such power to men.
9 And Jesus, passing on thence, saw a man sitting at the tax-office, called Matthew, and says to him, Follow me. And he rose up and followed him.
10 And it came to pass, as he lay at table in the house, that behold, many tax-gatherers and sinners came and lay at table with Jesus and his disciples.
11 And the Pharisees seeing [it], said to his disciples, Why does your teacher eat with tax-gatherers and sinners?
12 But [Jesus] hearing it, said, They that are strong have not need of a physician, but those that are ill.
13 But go and learn what [that] is—I will have mercy and not sacrifice; for I have not come to call righteous [men] but sinners.
14 Then come to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees often fast, but thy disciples fast not?
15 And Jesus said to them, Can the sons of the bridechamber mourn so long as the bridegroom is with them? But days will come when the bridegroom will have been taken away from them, and then they will fast.
16 But no one puts a patch of new cloth on an old garment, for its filling up takes from the garment and a worse rent takes place.
17 Nor do men put new wine into old skins, otherwise the skins burst and the wine is poured out, and the skins will be destroyed; but they put new wine into new skins, and both are preserved together.
18 As he spoke these things to them, behold, a ruler coming in did homage to him, saying, My daughter has by this died; but come and lay thy hand upon her and she shall live.
19 And Jesus rose up and followed him, and [so did] his disciples.
20 And behold, a woman, who had had a bloody flux [for] twelve years, came behind and touched the hem of his garment;
21 for she said within herself, If I should only touch his garment I shall be healed.
22 But Jesus turning and seeing her, said, Be of good courage, daughter; thy faith has healed thee. And the woman was healed from that hour.
23 And when Jesus was come to the house of the ruler, and saw the flute-players and the crowd making a tumult,
24 he said, Withdraw, for the damsel is not dead, but sleeps. And they derided him.
25 But when the crowd had been put out, he went in and took her hand; and the damsel rose up.
26 And the fame of it went out into all that land.
27 And as Jesus passed on thence, two blind [men] followed him, crying and saying, Have mercy on us, Son of David.
28 And when he was come to the house, the blind [men] came to him. And Jesus says to them, Do ye believe that I am able to do this? They say to him, Yea, Lord.
29 Then he touched their eyes, saying, According to your faith, be it unto you.
30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus charged them sharply, saying, See, let no man know it.
31 But they, when they were gone out, spread his name abroad in all that land.
32 But as these were going out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed by a demon.
33 And the demon having been cast out, the dumb spake. And the crowds were astonished, saying, It has never been seen thus in Israel.
34 But the Pharisees said, He casts out the demons through the prince of the demons.
35 And Jesus went round all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the glad tidings of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every bodily weakness.
36 But when he saw the crowds he was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed, and cast away as sheep not having a shepherd.
37 Then saith he to his disciples, The harvest [is] great and the workmen [are] few;
38 supplicate therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth workmen unto his harvest.
