Isus ozdravlja nepokretnoga

(Mk 2,1-12; Lk 5,17-26)

Isus je ušao u lađu, doplovio na drugu stranu jezera i vratio se u svoj grad. Tada su mu donijeli nepokretnog čovjeka koji je ležao na postelji. Kad je Isus vidio kolika je njihova vjera, rekao je nepokretnomu: »Samo hrabro, mladiću! Oprošteni su ti grijesi!«

Tada su neki učitelji Zakona rekli u sebi: »Ovaj čovjek svojim riječima vrijeđa Boga.«

Budući da je znao što misle, Isus im je rekao: »Zašto mislite zlo u svojim srcima? Što je lakše reći: ‘Oprošteni su ti grijesi’ ili ‘Ustani i hodaj!’? No znajte da Sin Čovječji ima vlast opraštati grijehe na Zemlji.« Zatim je rekao nepokretnomu: »Ustani, uzmi svoj ležaj i idi kući!« Nepokretni je ustao i otišao kući. Kad je narod to vidio, pun je strahopoštovanja hvalio Boga koji je ljudima dao takvu vlast.

Matej (Levi) slijedi Isusa

(Mk 2,13-17; Lk 5,27-32)

Kad je Isus odlazio odande, ugledao je čovjeka zvanog Matej kako sjedi na mjestu za naplatu poreza. Rekao mu je: »Hajde za mnom!« I Matej je ustao te krenuo za Isusom.

10 Dok je Isus jeo u Matejevoj kući, došli su mnogi poreznici[a] i grešnici pa su jeli zajedno s Isusom i njegovim učenicima. 11 Kad su to vidjeli farizeji, upitali su Isusove učenike: »Zašto vaš učitelj jede s poreznicima i grešnicima?«

12 Isus je to čuo pa je rekao: »Zdravi ne trebaju liječnika, nego bolesni. 13 Stoga, idite i naučite što znači: ‘Želim da iskazujete milosrđe, a ne da prinosite žrtve.’[b] Jer, nisam došao zvati pravednike, nego grešnike.«

Pitanje o postu

(Mk 2,18-22; Lk 5,33-39)

14 Tada su mu prišli Ivanovi učenici i upitali ga: »Zašto mi i farizeji često postimo, a tvoji učenici ne poste?«

15 Isus im je odgovorio: »Mogu li svatovi tugovati dok je mladoženja s njima? Ali doći će vrijeme kada će im uzeti mladoženju. Tada će oni postiti.

16 Nitko ne stavlja na stari ogrtač zakrpu od novoga platna koje se još nije stisnulo. Ako to učini, nova će se zakrpa stisnuti i poderati odjeću, a rupa će postati još veća. 17 Ni novo vino se ne ulijeva u stare mjehove jer bi oni popucali i vino bi iscurilo, a mjehovi bi bili uništeni. Zato ljudi uvijek stavljaju novo vino u nove mjehove, tako da se sačuvaju i vino i mjehovi.«

Djevojčica i bolesna žena

(Mk 5,21-43; Lk 8,40-56)

18 Dok im je Isus to govorio, prišao mu je poglavar sinagoge, kleknuo pred njega i rekao: »Kći mi je upravo umrla, ali dođi, stavi svoju ruku na nju i ona će oživjeti.«

19 Isus je ustao i pošao za njim zajedno sa svojim učenicima.

20 A neka žena, koja je patila od krvarenja već dvanaest godina, prišla je Isusu s leđa i dotaknula rub njegovog ogrtača. 21 Mislila je: »Ako samo dotaknem njegov ogrtač, ozdravit ću.«

22 Isus se okrenuo, ugledao ženu i rekao: »Samo hrabro, kćeri! Tvoja te vjera ozdravila.« I žena je ozdravila istoga trena.

23 Kad je Isus došao u kuću poglavara sinagoge, vidio je svirače kako sviraju pogrebnu glazbu i uznemiren narod. 24 Rekao je: »Iziđite! Djevojka nije mrtva, samo spava.« A oni su ga ismijavali. 25 Kad je narod istjeran iz kuće, Isus je ušao u sobu, uzeo djevojku za ruku i ona je ustala. 26 Vijest o tome proširila se po cijelom onome kraju.

27 Kad je odlazio odande, dva su slijepca pošla za njim vičući: »Smiluj nam se, Davidov Sine!« 28 Kad je ušao u kuću, slijepci su mu prišli, a Isus ih je upitao: »Vjerujete li da vam ja mogu vratiti vid?« Oni su odgovorili: »Da, Gospodine!«

29 Tada je dotaknuo njihove oči i rekao: »Neka vam bude onako kako vjerujete!« 30 I progledali su, a Isus ih je strogo opomenuo: »Pazite da nitko ne sazna za ovo!« 31 No oni su otišli i proširili vijest o njemu po cijelom onome kraju.

32 Dok su izlazili, doveli su Isusu nijemog čovjeka koji je bio opsjednut zlim duhom. 33 Kad je Isus istjerao zlog duha, nijemi je progovorio. Narod se divio i govorio: »Nikad nešto slično nije viđeno u Izraelu!«

34 A farizeji su govorili: »On izgoni zle duhove uz pomoć vladara zlih duhova.«

Ovce bez pastira

35 Isus je išao po svim gradovima i selima. Poučavao je u njihovim sinagogama i objavljivao radosnu vijest o Božjem kraljevstvu. Liječio je svaku slabost i svaku bolest. 36 Kad je vidio mnoštvo naroda, sažalio se nad njima jer su bili iscrpljeni i bespomoćni poput ovaca bez pastira. 37 Tada je rekao svojim učenicima: »Žetva je velika, a radnika je malo. 38 Stoga, molite gospodara žetve da pošalje radnike za svoju žetvu.«

A Paralyzed Man Healed

Getting into a boat, Jesus crossed over the Sea of Galilee and came to (A)His own city.

(B)And they brought to Him a (C)paralyzed man lying on a stretcher. And seeing their faith, Jesus said to the man who was paralyzed, (D)Take courage, [a]son; (E)your sins are forgiven.” And some of the scribes said [b]to themselves, “This man is (F)blaspheming!” And Jesus, (G)perceiving their thoughts, said, “Why are you thinking evil in your hearts? For which is easier, to say, ‘(H)Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’? But so that you may know that (I)the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—then He *said to the (J)paralyzed man, “Get up, pick up your stretcher and go home.” And he got up and [c]went home. But when the crowds saw this, they were [d]awestruck, and they (K)glorified God, who had given such authority to men.

Matthew Called

(L)As Jesus went on from there, He saw a man called (M)Matthew sitting in the tax collector’s office; and He *said to him, (N)Follow Me!” And he got up and followed Him.

10 Then it happened that as [e]Jesus was reclining at the table in the house, behold, many tax collectors and [f]sinners came and began dining with Jesus and His disciples. 11 And when the Pharisees saw this, they said to His disciples, “(O)Why is your Teacher eating with the tax collectors and sinners?” 12 But when Jesus heard this, He said, It is not (P)those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick. 13 Now go and learn [g](Q)what this means: ‘(R)I desire [h]compassion, [i]rather than sacrifice,’ for (S)I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

The Question about Fasting

14 Then the disciples of John *came to Him, asking, “Why do we and (T)the Pharisees fast, but Your disciples do not fast?” 15 And Jesus said to them, “The [j]attendants of the groom cannot mourn as long as the groom is with them, can they? But the days will come when the groom is taken away from them, and then they will fast. 16 But no one puts a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for [k]the patch pulls away from the garment, and a worse tear results. 17 Nor do people put new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the wineskins burst, and the wine pours out and the wineskins are ruined; but they put new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved.”

Miracles of Healing

18 (U)While He was saying these things to them, behold, [l]a synagogue [m]official came and [n](V)bowed down before Him, and said, “My daughter has just died; but come and lay Your hand on her, and she will become alive again.” 19 Jesus got up from the table and began to accompany him, along with His disciples.

20 And behold, a woman who had been suffering from a hemorrhage for twelve years came up behind Him, and touched (W)the [o]border of His [p]cloak; 21 for she was [q]saying [r]to herself, “If I only (X)touch His cloak, I will [s]get well.” 22 But Jesus, turning and seeing her, said, “Daughter, (Y)take courage; (Z)your faith has [t]made you well.” And [u]at once the woman was [v]made well.

23 When Jesus came into the [w]official’s house and saw (AA)the flute players and the crowd in noisy disorder, 24 He said, “Leave; for the girl (AB)has not died, but is asleep.” And they began laughing at Him. 25 But (AC)when the crowd had been sent out, He entered and (AD)took her by the hand, and the girl [x]got up. 26 And (AE)this news spread throughout that land.

27 As Jesus went on from there, two men who were blind followed Him, crying out, “Have mercy on us, (AF)Son of David!” 28 And after He entered the house, the men who were blind came up 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, [y]It shall be done for you (AG)according to your faith.” 30 And their eyes were opened. And Jesus (AH)sternly warned them, saying, “See that no one knows about this!” 31 But they went out and (AI)spread the news about Him throughout that land.

32 And as they were going out, behold, (AJ)a (AK)demon-possessed man who was unable to speak [z]was brought to Him. 33 And after the demon was cast out, the man who was previously unable to speak talked; and the crowds were amazed, and were saying, “(AL)Nothing like this has ever [aa]been seen in Israel.” 34 But the Pharisees were saying, “He (AM)casts out the demons by the ruler of the demons.”

35 Jesus was going through all the cities and villages, (AN)teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness.

36 (AO)Seeing the crowds, He felt compassion for them, (AP)because they were [ab]distressed and downcast, like sheep [ac]without a shepherd. 37 Then He *said to His disciples, (AQ)The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. 38 Therefore, plead with the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest.”

Jesus Forgives and Heals a Paralyzed Man(A)

Jesus stepped into a boat, crossed over and came to his own town.(B) 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)

At this, some of the teachers of the law said to themselves, “This fellow is blaspheming!”(G)

Knowing their thoughts,(H) Jesus said, “Why do you entertain evil thoughts in your hearts? Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’? 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.” Then the man got up and went home. 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)

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.”
