Mateo 9
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)

Pinagaling ni Jesus ang Isang Paralitiko(A)

9 Sumakay sina Jesus sa bangka at tumawid sa kabila ng lawa. Pagdating nila roon, umuwi si Jesus sa sarili niyang bayan. 2 Doon ay may mga taong nagdala sa kanya ng isang paralitikong nakaratay sa higaan. Nang makita ni Jesus ang kanilang pananampalataya, sinabi niya sa paralitiko, “Anak, lakasan mo ang loob mo. Pinatawad na ang iyong mga kasalanan.” 3 Nang marinig ito ng ilang tagapagturo ng Kautusan na naroon, sinabi nila sa kanilang sarili, “Nilalapastangan ng taong ito ang Dios.” 4 Pero alam ni Jesus ang iniisip nila, kaya sinabi niya, “Bakit kayo nag-iisip ng masama? 5 Alin ba ang mas madaling sabihin: ‘Pinatawad na ang mga kasalanan mo,’ o ‘Tumayo ka at lumakad’? 6 Ngayon, papatunayan ko sa inyo sa pamamagitan ng pagpapagaling sa taong ito na akong Anak ng Tao ay may kapangyarihan dito sa lupa na magpatawad ng kasalanan.” At sinabi niya sa paralitiko, “Tumayo ka, buhatin mo ang iyong higaan at umuwi ka!” 7 Tumayo nga ang paralitiko at umuwi. 8 Namangha ang mga tao nang makita nila ito, at pinapurihan nila ang Dios na nagbigay sa mga tao ng ganoong kapangyarihan.

Tinawag ni Jesus si Mateo(B)

9 Nang umalis na roon si Jesus, nakita niya ang isang lalaking nagngangalang Mateo, na nakaupo sa lugar na pinagbabayaran ng buwis. Sinabi sa kanya ni Jesus, “Sumunod ka sa akin.” Tumayo naman si Mateo at sumunod kay Jesus.

10 Habang kumakain si Jesus at ang mga tagasunod niya sa bahay ni Mateo, nagdatingan ang maraming maniningil ng buwis at ang iba pang mga itinuturing na makasalanan at kumaing kasama nila. 11 Nang makita ito ng mga Pariseo, tinanong nila ang mga tagasunod ni Jesus, “Bakit ang guro ninyo ay kumakaing kasama ng mga maniningil ng buwis at ng iba pang mga makasalanan?” 12 Nang marinig ito ni Jesus, sinabi niya sa kanila, “Hindi ang mga walang sakit ang nangangailangan ng doktor kundi ang mga may sakit. 13 Umalis na kayo at pag-isipan nʼyo kung ano ang kahulugan ng sinasabing ito ng Kasulatan: ‘Hindi ang handog ninyo ang hinahangad ko kundi ang maging maawain kayo.’[a] Sapagkat naparito ako hindi upang tawagin ang mga taong matuwid sa kanilang sariling paningin, kundi ang mga makasalanan.”

Ang Tanong tungkol sa Pag-aayuno(C)

14 May ilang mga tagasunod ni Juan na Tagapagbautismo ang pumunta kay Jesus at nagtanong, “Kami at ang mga Pariseo ay madalas mag-ayuno. Bakit hindi nag-aayuno ang mga tagasunod ninyo?” 15 Sumagot si Jesus, “Maaari bang magdalamhati ang mga panauhin sa kasalan habang kasama pa nila ang lalaking ikakasal? Siyempre, hindi! Ngunit darating ang araw na kukunin sa kanila ang lalaking ikakasal, at saka sila mag-aayuno.”

16 Sinabi pa ni Jesus, “Walang nagtatagpi ng bagong tela sa lumang damit, dahil kapag nilabhan uurong[b] ang bagong tela at lalo pang lalaki ang punit. 17 Wala ring naglalagay ng bagong alak sa lumang sisidlang-balat, dahil puputok ang sisidlan at matatapon ang alak, at ang sisidlan ay hindi na mapapakinabangan pa. Sa halip, inilalagay ang bagong alak sa bagong sisidlang-balat, at pareho silang magtatagal.”

Ang Anak ng Pinuno at ang Babaeng Dinudugo(D)

18 Habang sinasabi niya ang mga ito, dumating ang isang namumuno ng sambahan ng mga Judio. Lumuhod ito sa kanyang harapan at sinabi, “Kamamatay lang po ng anak kong babae, pero kung pupuntahan nʼyo siya at ipapatong ang inyong kamay sa kanya, mabubuhay siyang muli.” 19 Kaya tumayo si Jesus at sumama sa kanya, pati na rin ang mga tagasunod niya. 20 Habang naglalakad sila, lumapit sa likuran ni Jesus ang isang babae na 12 taon nang dinudugo, at hinipo niya ang laylayan[c] ng damit ni Jesus. 21 Sapagkat sinabi ng babae sa kanyang sarili, “Mahipo ko lang ang damit niya ay gagaling na ako.” 22 Lumingon si Jesus at pagkakita sa babae ay sinabi, “Anak, lakasan mo ang loob mo. Pinagaling[d] ka ng iyong pananampalataya.” At gumaling nga ang babae nang sandaling iyon.

23 Nang dumating na si Jesus sa bahay ng pinuno, nakita niya ang mga manunugtog ng plauta sa libing at ang maraming taong nagkakaingay. 24 Sinabi niya, “Magsilabas kayo! Hindi patay ang bata; natutulog lang siya.” Pinagtawanan nila si Jesus. 25 Nang mapalabas na ang mga tao, pumasok si Jesus at hinawakan sa kamay ang bata, at bumangon ito. 26 Kumalat ang balitang ito sa buong lugar na iyon.

Pinagaling ni Jesus ang Dalawang Bulag

27 Pagkaalis ni Jesus sa lugar na iyon, sumunod sa kanya ang dalawang bulag na sumisigaw, “Anak ni David,[e] maawa po kayo sa amin!” 28 Pagdating ni Jesus sa bahay na kanyang tutuluyan, lumapit sa kanya ang mga bulag na lalaki. Tinanong sila ni Jesus, “Naniniwala ba kayo na kaya ko kayong pagalingin?” Sumagot sila, “Opo, Panginoon.” 29 At hinipo ni Jesus ang mga mata nila, at sinabi, “Mangyari sa inyo ang ayon sa inyong pananampalataya.” 30 At nakakita nga ang dalawa. Mahigpit silang pinagbilinan ni Jesus na huwag nila itong sasabihin kaninuman. 31 Pero umalis ang dalawa at ibinalita nila sa buong lugar na iyon ang ginawa sa kanila ni Jesus.

Pinagaling ni Jesus ang Isang Pipi

32 Habang paalis na sina Jesus, dinala sa kanya ang isang lalaking pipi na sinasaniban ng masamang espiritu. 33 Pinalayas ni Jesus ang masamang espiritu, at nakapagsalita ang pipi. Namangha ang mga tao at sinabi, “Kailanman ay hindi pa nangyari ang ganito sa buong Israel.” 34 Pero sinabi ng mga Pariseo, “Ang pinuno ng masasamang espiritu ang nagbigay sa kanya ng kapangyarihang magpalayas ng masasamang espiritu.”

Naawa si Jesus sa mga Tao

35 Nilibot ni Jesus ang mga bayan at nayon, at nangaral siya sa mga sambahan ng mga Judio. Ipinahayag niya ang Magandang Balita tungkol sa paghahari ng Dios, at pinagaling niya ang lahat ng uri ng sakit at karamdaman. 36 Nang makita ni Jesus ang napakaraming tao, naawa siya sa kanila, dahil napakarami ng kanilang mga problema pero wala man lang tumutulong sa kanila. Para silang mga tupang walang pastol. 37 Kaya sinabi niya sa mga tagasunod niya, “Marami ang aanihin, pero kakaunti ang tagapag-ani. 38 Kaya idalangin ninyo sa Panginoon, na siyang may-ari ng anihin, na magpadala siya ng mga tagapag-ani.”

Yesu Awonya eyali Akoozimbye

9 (A)Awo Yesu n’asaabala mu lyato n’awunguka n’atuuka mu kibuga ky’ewaabwe, Kaperunawumu. 2 (B)Amangwago ne bamuleetera omuntu eyali akoozimbye nga bamusitulidde ku katanda. Bwe yalaba okukkiriza kwabwe n’agamba omulwadde nti, “Mwana wange, guma omwoyo, nkusonyiye ebibi byo!”

3 (C)Naye waaliwo abamu ku bannyonnyozi b’amateeka ne boogeraganya bokka na bokka nti, “Omuntu ono avvoola! Alowooza nti Ye Katonda!”

4 (D)Yesu n’amanya bye balowooza. N’abagamba nti, “Lwaki mubeera n’ebirowoozo ebibi mu mitima gyammwe? 5 Ekyo buli muntu ayinza okukyogera, kubanga kwogera bwogezi. 6 (E)Naye mutegeere nga Omwana w’Omuntu alina obuyinza ku nsi okusonyiwa ebibi.” Awo n’agamba akoozimbye nti, “Yimirira weetikke akatanda ko, weddireyo ewammwe!” 7 N’ayimirira ng’awonye, ne yeddirayo eka. 8 (F)Naye abantu abaali mu bibiina bwe baalaba ekyamagero kino ne beewuunya nnyo! Ne bagulumiza Katonda eyawa abantu obuyinza obwenkaniddaawo!

Okuyitibwa kwa Matayo

9 Awo Yesu bwe yava mu kifo ekyo n’alaba omuntu, erinnya lye Matayo, ng’atudde mu kifo we basolooleza omusolo, n’amugamba nti, “Ngoberera.” Bw’atyo naye n’asitukiramu n’agoberera Yesu.

10 Awo Yesu bwe yali ng’atudde ku mmere mu nnyumba ya Matayo, abawooza bangi n’abantu abaali bamanyiddwa mu kitundu ekyo nti babi ne bajja ne batuula naye n’abayigirizwa be ku mmere ne balya. 11 (G)Naye Abafalisaayo bwe baakiraba, ne bagamba abayigirizwa be nti, “Lwaki Mukama wammwe alya n’abawooza n’abantu abalina ebibi?”

12 Yesu bwe yawulira n’abaddamu nti, “Abalamu tebeetaaga musawo wabula abalwadde. 13 (H)Mugende muyige amakulu g’Ekyawandiikibwa kino nti, ‘Ssaddaaka zammwe n’ebirabo byammwe si bye neetaaga, wabula neetaaga mubeerenga ba kisa.’ Najjirira kuyita boonoonyi, so sajjirira abo abeerowooza nti batuukirivu.”

14 (I)Lwali lumu abayigirizwa ba Yokaana ne bajja eri Yesu ne bamubuuza nti, “Lwaki abayigirizwa bo tebasiiba nga ffe n’Abafalisaayo bwe tukola?”

15 (J)Yesu n’ababuuza nti, “Mikwano gy’omugole bayinza okunakuwala ng’omugole akyali nabo? Naye ekiseera kirituuka omugole lwalibaggibwako. Olwo nno balisiiba.

16 “Tewali muntu atunga kiwero kiggya mu lugoye lukadde, kubanga, ekiwero bwe kyetugga kiyuza olugoye olukadde, n’ekituli ne kigaziwa. 17 Era tewali ateeka wayini musu mu nsawo ez’amaliba enkadde. Ensawo[a] enkadde zaabika wayini n’ayiika n’ensawo ne zoonooneka. Wayini omusu bamuteeka mu nsawo z’amaliba maggya, byombi ne bitayonooneka.”

18 (K)Bwe yali ng’akyayogera nabo omufuzi n’ajja, n’amusinza n’amugamba nti, “Omwana wange omuwala anfuddeko, naye singa ojja n’omukwatako anaalamuka.” 19 Yesu bwe yasituka n’abayigirizwa be okugenda mu maka g’omukulu w’ekkuŋŋaaniro, 20 (L)omukazi eyali alwadde ekikulukuto ky’omusaayi, okumala emyaka kkumi n’ebiri, n’ajja emabega we n’akoma ku lukugiro lw’ekyambalo kye. 21 Kubanga y’agamba mu mutima gwe nti, “Ne bwe nnaakoma obukomi ku kyambalo kye nnaawona.”

22 (M)Yesu n’akyuka n’alaba omukazi n’amugamba nti, “Muwala, guma omwoyo! Owonye olw’okukkiriza kwo.” Omukazi n’awonera mu kiseera ekyo.

Yesu Awonya Bamuzibe ne Bakiggala

27 (Q)Awo Yesu bwe yava eyo, abazibe b’amaaso babiri ne bamugoberera nga bwe baleekaana nti, “Ayi Omwana wa Dawudi, otusaasire!”

28 Bwe yatuuka mu nju, bamuzibe ne bajja w’ali. Yesu n’ababuuza nti, “Mukkiriza nga nnyinza okubazibula amaaso?” Ne bamuddamu nti, “Weewaawo, Mukama waffe.”

29 (R)Awo n’akoma ku maaso gaabwe n’abagamba nti, “Kale, olw’okukkiriza kwammwe, kye musabye mukiweereddwa.” 30 (S)Amangwago amaaso gaabwe ne gazibuka. Yesu n’abakuutira nnyo baleme kubuulirako muntu yenna ng’abagamba nti, “Mulabe nga tewaba n’omu ategeera bibaddewo.” 31 (T)Naye bwe baava awo, ne bagenda nga basaasaanya ebigambo ebyo, nga babuulira buli muntu gwe baasisinkananga mu kitundu ekyo.

32 (U)Awo Yesu ne be yali nabo, bwe baali bafuluma ne bamuleetera kiggala eyali tayogera kubanga yaliko dayimooni. 33 (V)Yesu n’amugobako dayimooni, era amangwago abadde kiggala n’ayogera. Ekibiina ky’abantu ne beewuunya nnyo nga bagamba nti, “Kino tekibangawo mu Isirayiri.”

34 (W)Naye Abafalisaayo ne bagamba nti, “Agoba baddayimooni lwa kubanga ye mukulu wa baddayimooni!” 35 (X)Yesu n’agenda ng’ayita mu bibuga byonna eby’omu kitundu ekyo, ne mu byalo ng’ayigiriza mu makuŋŋaaniro gaabwe, era ng’abuulira Enjiri ey’obwakabaka. Era buli we yatuukanga n’awonya abalwadde n’abakoozimbye bonna. 36 (Y)Awo bwe yatunuulira ekibiina ky’abantu nga bajja gy’ali, nga bakooye nnyo, era nga basaasaanye ng’endiga ezitalina musumba, n’abasaasira nnyo. 37 (Z)N’agamba abayigirizwa be nti, “Eby’okukungula bingi nnyo, naye abakozi abakungula batono. 38 Noolwekyo musabe nannyini nnimiro, aweereze abakozi mu nnimiro ye.”

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.”

Chapter 9

The Healing of a Paralytic. 1 [a](A)He entered a boat, made the crossing, and came into his own town. 2 And there people brought to him a paralytic lying on a stretcher. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Courage, child, your sins are forgiven.”(B) 3 At that, some of the scribes[b] said to themselves, “This man is blaspheming.” 4 Jesus knew what they were thinking, and said, “Why do you harbor evil thoughts? 5 Which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Rise and walk’? 6 [c]But 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 stretcher, and go home.”(C) 7 He rose and went home. 8 [d]When the crowds saw this they were struck with awe and glorified God who had given such authority to human beings.

The Call of Matthew.[e] 9 As Jesus passed on from there,(D) he saw a man named Matthew[f] sitting at the customs post. He said to him, “Follow me.” And he got up and followed him. 10 While he was at table in his house,[g] many tax collectors and sinners came and sat with Jesus and his disciples.(E) 11 The Pharisees saw this and said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher[h] eat with tax collectors and sinners?” 12 He heard this and said, “Those who are well do not need a physician, but the sick do.[i] 13 Go and learn the meaning of the words,(F) ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’[j] I did not come to call the righteous but sinners.”

The Question About Fasting. 14 (G)Then the disciples of John approached him and said, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast [much], but your disciples do not fast?” 15 Jesus answered them, “Can the wedding guests mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast.[k] 16 No one patches an old cloak with a piece of unshrunken cloth,[l] for its fullness pulls away from the cloak and the tear gets worse. 17 People do not put new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise the skins burst, the wine spills out, and the skins are ruined. Rather, they pour new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved.”

The Official’s Daughter and the Woman with a Hemorrhage. 18 [m]While he was saying these things to them,(H) an official[n] came forward, knelt down before him, and said, “My daughter has just died. But come, lay your hand on her, and she will live.” 19 Jesus rose and followed him, and so did his disciples. 20 A woman suffering hemorrhages for twelve years came up behind him and touched the tassel[o] on his cloak. 21 She said to herself, “If only I can touch his cloak, I shall be cured.”(I) 22 Jesus turned around and saw her, and said, “Courage, daughter! Your faith has saved you.” And from that hour the woman was cured.

23 When Jesus arrived at the official’s house and saw the flute players and the crowd who were making a commotion, 24 he said, “Go away! The girl is not dead but sleeping.”[p] And they ridiculed him. 25 When the crowd was put out, he came and took her by the hand, and the little girl arose. 26 And news of this spread throughout all that land.

The Healing of Two Blind Men.[q] 27 (J)And as Jesus passed on from there, two blind men followed [him], crying out, “Son of David,[r] have pity on us!”(K) 28 When he entered the house, the blind men approached him and Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I can do this?” “Yes, Lord,” they said to him. 29 Then he touched their eyes and said, “Let it be done for you according to your faith.” 30 And their eyes were opened. Jesus warned them sternly, “See that no one knows about this.” 31 But they went out and spread word of him through all that land.

The Healing of a Mute Person. 32 (L)As they were going out,[s] a demoniac who could not speak was brought to him, 33 and when the demon was driven out the mute person spoke. The crowds were amazed and said, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel.”(M) 34 [t]But the Pharisees said,(N) “He drives out demons by the prince of demons.”

The Compassion of Jesus. 35 [u](O)Jesus went around to all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and curing every disease and illness. 36 (P)At the sight of the crowds, his heart was moved with pity for them because they were troubled and abandoned,[v] like sheep without a shepherd. 37 [w](Q)Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; 38 so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest.”

Footnotes

  1. 9:1 His own town: Capernaum; see Mt 4:13.
  2. 9:3 Scribes: see note on Mk 2:6. Matthew omits the reason given in the Marcan story for the charge of blasphemy: “Who but God alone can forgive sins?” (Mk 2:7).
  3. 9:6 It is not clear whether But that you may know…to forgive sins is intended to be a continuation of the words of Jesus or a parenthetical comment of the evangelist to those who would hear or read this gospel. In any case, Matthew here follows the Marcan text.
  4. 9:8 Who had given such authority to human beings: a significant difference from Mk 2:12 (“They…glorified God, saying, ‘We have never seen anything like this’”). Matthew’s extension to human beings of the authority to forgive sins points to the belief that such authority was being claimed by Matthew’s church.
  5. 9:9–17 In this section the order is the same as that of Mk 2:13–22.
  6. 9:9 A man named Matthew: Mark names this tax collector Levi (Mk 2:14). No such name appears in the four lists of the twelve who were the closest companions of Jesus (Mt 10:2–4; Mk 3:16–19; Lk 6:14–16; Acts 1:13 [eleven, because of the defection of Judas Iscariot]), whereas all four list a Matthew, designated in Mt 10:3 as “the tax collector.” The evangelist may have changed the “Levi” of his source to Matthew so that this man, whose call is given special notice, like that of the first four disciples (Mt 4:18–22), might be included among the twelve. Another reason for the change may be that the disciple Matthew was the source of traditions peculiar to the church for which the evangelist was writing.
  7. 9:10 His house: it is not clear whether his refers to Jesus or Matthew. Tax collectors: see note on Mt 5:46. Table association with such persons would cause ritual impurity.
  8. 9:11 Teacher: see note on Mt 8:19.
  9. 9:12 See note on Mk 2:17.
  10. 9:13 Go and learn…not sacrifice: Matthew adds the prophetic statement of Hos 6:6 to the Marcan account (see also Mt 12:7). If mercy is superior to the temple sacrifices, how much more to the laws of ritual impurity.
  11. 9:15 Fasting is a sign of mourning and would be as inappropriate at this time of joy, when Jesus is proclaiming the kingdom, as it would be at a marriage feast. Yet the saying looks forward to the time when Jesus will no longer be with the disciples visibly, the time of Matthew’s church. Then they will fast: see Didache 8:1.
  12. 9:16–17 Each of these parables speaks of the unsuitability of attempting to combine the old and the new. Jesus’ teaching is not a patching up of Judaism, nor can the gospel be contained within the limits of Mosaic law.
  13. 9:18–34 In this third group of miracles, the first (Mt 9:18–26) is clearly dependent on Mark (Mk 5:21–43). Though it tells of two miracles, the cure of the woman had already been included within the story of the raising of the official’s daughter, so that the two were probably regarded as a single unit. The other miracles seem to have been derived from Mark and Q, respectively, though there Matthew’s own editing is much more evident.
  14. 9:18 Official: literally, “ruler.” Mark calls him “one of the synagogue officials” (Mk 5:22). My daughter has just died: Matthew heightens the Marcan “my daughter is at the point of death” (Mk 5:23).
  15. 9:20 Tassel: possibly “fringe.” The Mosaic law prescribed that tassels be worn on the corners of one’s garment as a reminder to keep the commandments (see Nm 15:37–39; Dt 22:12).
  16. 9:24 Sleeping: sleep is a biblical metaphor for death (see Ps 87:6 LXX; Dn 12:2; 1 Thes 5:10). Jesus’ statement is not a denial of the child’s real death, but an assurance that she will be roused from her sleep of death.
  17. 9:27–31 This story was probably composed by Matthew out of Mark’s story of the healing of a blind man named Bartimaeus (Mk 10:46–52). Mark places the event late in Jesus’ ministry, just before his entrance into Jerusalem, and Matthew has followed his Marcan source at that point in his gospel also (see Mt 20:29–34). In each of the Matthean stories the single blind man of Mark becomes two. The reason why Matthew would have given a double version of the Marcan story and placed the earlier one here may be that he wished to add a story of Jesus’ curing the blind at this point in order to prepare for Jesus’ answer to the emissaries of the Baptist (Mt 11:4–6) in which Jesus, recounting his works, begins with his giving sight to the blind.
  18. 9:27 Son of David: this messianic title is connected once with the healing power of Jesus in Mark (Mk 10:47–48) and Luke (Lk 18:38–39) but more frequently in Matthew (see also Mt 12:23; 15:22; 20:30–31).
  19. 9:32–34 The source of this story seems to be Q (see Lk 11:14–15). As in the preceding healing of the blind, Matthew has two versions of this healing, the later in Mt 12:22–24 and the earlier here.
  20. 9:34 This spiteful accusation foreshadows the growing opposition to Jesus in Mt 11 and 12.
  21. 9:35 See notes on Mt 4:23–25; Mt 8:1–9:38.
  22. 9:36 See Mk 6:34; Nm 27:17; 1 Kgs 22:17.
  23. 9:37–38 This Q saying (see Lk 10:2) is only imperfectly related to this context. It presupposes that only God (the master of the harvest) can take the initiative in sending out preachers of the gospel, whereas in Matthew’s setting it leads into Mt 10 where Jesus does so.
