Jesús sana a un paralítico(A)

Subió Jesús a una barca, cruzó al otro lado y llegó a su propio pueblo. Unos hombres le llevaron un paralítico, acostado en una camilla. Al ver Jesús la fe de ellos, le dijo al paralítico:

―¡Ánimo, hijo; tus pecados quedan perdonados!

Algunos de los maestros de la ley murmuraron entre ellos: «¡Este hombre blasfema!»

Como Jesús conocía sus pensamientos, les dijo:

―¿Por qué dais lugar a tan malos pensamientos? ¿Qué es más fácil, decir: “Tus pecados quedan perdonados”, o decir: “Levántate y anda”? Pues para que sepáis que el Hijo del hombre tiene autoridad en la tierra para perdonar pecados —se dirigió entonces al paralítico—: Levántate, toma tu camilla y vete a tu casa.

Y el hombre se levantó y se fue a su casa. Al ver esto, la multitud se llenó de temor y glorificó a Dios por haber dado tal autoridad a los mortales.

Llamamiento de Mateo(B)

Al irse de allí, Jesús vio a un hombre llamado Mateo, sentado a la mesa de recaudación de impuestos. «Sígueme», le dijo. Mateo se levantó y lo siguió.

10 Mientras Jesús estaba comiendo en casa de Mateo, muchos recaudadores de impuestos y pecadores llegaron y comieron con él y sus discípulos. 11 Cuando los fariseos vieron esto, preguntaron a sus discípulos:

―¿Por qué come vuestro maestro con recaudadores de impuestos y con pecadores?

12 Al oír esto, Jesús les contestó:

―No son los sanos los que necesitan médico, sino los enfermos. 13 Pero id y aprended qué significa esto: “Lo que quiero es misericordia y no sacrificios”.[a] Porque no he venido a llamar a justos, sino a pecadores.[b]

Le preguntan a Jesús sobre el ayuno(C)

14 Un día se le acercaron los discípulos de Juan y le preguntaron:

―¿Cómo es que nosotros y los fariseos ayunamos, pero no así tus discípulos?

Jesús les contestó:

15 ―¿Acaso pueden estar de luto los invitados del novio mientras él está con ellos? Llegará el día en que se les quitará el novio; entonces sí ayunarán. 16 Nadie remienda un vestido viejo con un retazo de tela nueva, porque el remiendo fruncirá el vestido y la rotura se hará peor. 17 Ni tampoco se echa vino nuevo en odres viejos. De hacerlo así, se reventarán los odres, se derramará el vino y los odres se echarán a perder. Más bien, el vino nuevo se echa en odres nuevos, y así ambos se conservan.

Una niña muerta y una mujer enferma(D)

18 Mientras él les decía esto, un dirigente judío llegó, se arrodilló delante de él y le dijo:

―Mi hija acaba de morir. Pero ven y pon tu mano sobre ella, y vivirá.

19 Jesús se levantó y fue con él, acompañado de sus discípulos. 20 En esto, una mujer que hacía doce años que padecía de hemorragias se le acercó por detrás y le tocó el borde del manto. 21 Pensaba: «Si al menos logro tocar su manto, quedaré sana». 22 Jesús se dio la vuelta, la vio y le dijo:

―¡Ánimo, hija! Tu fe te ha sanado.

Y la mujer quedó sana en aquel momento.

23 Cuando Jesús entró en la casa del dirigente y vio a los flautistas y el alboroto de la gente, 24 les dijo:

―Retiraos. La niña no está muerta, sino dormida.

Entonces empezaron a burlarse de él. 25 Pero, cuando se les hizo salir, entró él, tomó de la mano a la niña, y esta se levantó. 26 La noticia se divulgó por toda aquella región.

Jesús sana a los ciegos y a los mudos

27 Al irse Jesús de allí, dos ciegos lo siguieron, gritándole:

―¡Ten compasión de nosotros, Hijo de David!

28 Cuando entró en la casa, se le acercaron los ciegos, y él les preguntó:

―¿Creéis que puedo sanaros?

―Sí, Señor —le respondieron.

29 Entonces les tocó los ojos y les dijo:

―Que se haga con vosotros conforme a vuestra fe.

30 Y recobraron la vista. Jesús les advirtió con firmeza:

―Aseguraos de que nadie se entere de esto.

31 Pero ellos salieron para divulgar por toda aquella región la noticia acerca de Jesús.

32 Mientras ellos salían, le llevaron un mudo endemoniado. 33 Así que Jesús expulsó al demonio, y el que había estado mudo habló. La multitud se maravillaba y decía: «Jamás se ha visto nada igual en Israel».

34 Pero los fariseos afirmaban: «Este expulsa a los demonios por medio del príncipe de los demonios».

Son pocos los obreros

35 Jesús recorría todos los pueblos y aldeas enseñando en las sinagogas, anunciando las buenas nuevas del reino y sanando toda enfermedad y toda dolencia. 36 Al ver a las multitudes, tuvo compasión de ellas, porque estaban agobiadas y desamparadas, como ovejas sin pastor. 37 «La cosecha es abundante, pero son pocos los obreros —dijo a sus discípulos—. 38 Rogad, por tanto, al Señor de la cosecha que envíe obreros a su campo».

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

And he arose, and departed to his house.

But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

19 And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples.

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:

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

Jesus Forgives and Heals a Paralytic(A)

So He got into a boat, crossed over, (B)and came to His own city. (C)Then behold, they brought to Him a paralytic lying on a bed. (D)When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, be of good cheer; your sins are forgiven you.”

And at once some of the scribes said within themselves, “This Man blasphemes!”

But Jesus, (E)knowing their thoughts, said, “Why do you think evil in your hearts? For which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Arise and walk’? But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins”—then He said to the paralytic, “Arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.” And he arose and departed to his house.

Now when the multitudes saw it, they (F)marveled[a] and glorified God, who had given such power to men.

Matthew the Tax Collector(G)

(H)As Jesus passed on from there, He saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax office. And He said to him, “Follow Me.” So he arose and followed Him.

10 (I)Now it happened, as Jesus sat at the table in the house, that behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with Him and His disciples. 11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to His disciples, “Why does your Teacher eat with (J)tax collectors and (K)sinners?”

12 When Jesus heard that, He said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. 13 But go and learn what this means: (L)‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice.’ For I did not come to call the righteous, (M)but sinners, [b]to repentance.”

Jesus Is Questioned About Fasting(N)

14 Then the disciples of John came to Him, saying, (O)“Why do we and the Pharisees fast [c]often, but Your disciples do not fast?”

15 And Jesus said to them, “Can (P)the [d]friends of the bridegroom mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and (Q)then they will fast. 16 No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for [e]the patch pulls away from the garment, and the tear is made worse. 17 Nor do they put new wine into old wineskins, or else the wineskins [f]break, the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined. But they put new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.”

A Girl Restored to Life and a Woman Healed(R)

18 (S)While He spoke these things to them, behold, a ruler came and worshiped Him, saying, “My daughter has just died, but come and lay Your hand on her and she will live.” 19 So Jesus arose and followed him, and so did His (T)disciples.

20 (U)And suddenly, a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years came from behind and (V)touched the hem of His garment. 21 For she said to herself, “If only I may touch His garment, I shall be made well.” 22 But Jesus turned around, and when He saw her He said, “Be of good cheer, daughter; (W)your faith has made you well.” And the woman was made well from that hour.

23 (X)When Jesus came into the ruler’s house, and saw (Y)the flute players and the noisy crowd wailing, 24 He said to them, (Z)“Make room, for the girl is not dead, but sleeping.” And they ridiculed Him. 25 But when the crowd was put outside, He went in and (AA)took her by the hand, and the girl arose. 26 And the (AB)report of this went out into all that land.

Two Blind Men Healed

27 When Jesus departed from there, (AC)two blind men followed Him, crying out and saying, (AD)“Son of David, have mercy on us!”

28 And when He had come into 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 Then He touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith let it be to you.” 30 And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly warned them, saying, (AE)“See that no one knows it.” 31 (AF)But when they had departed, they [g]spread the news about Him in all that [h]country.

A Mute Man Speaks

32 (AG)As they went out, behold, they brought to Him a man, mute and demon-possessed. 33 And when the demon was cast out, the mute spoke. And the multitudes marveled, saying, “It was never seen like this in Israel!”

34 But the Pharisees said, (AH)“He casts out demons by the ruler of the demons.”

The Compassion of Jesus(AI)

35 Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, (AJ)teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease [i]among the people. 36 (AK)But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were [j]weary and scattered, (AL)like sheep having no shepherd. 37 Then He said to His disciples, (AM)“The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. 38 (AN)Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.”
