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.”

At lumulan siya sa isang daong, at tumawid, at dumating sa kaniyang sariling bayan.

At narito, dinala nila sa kaniya ang isang lumpo, na nakahiga sa isang higaan: at nang makita ni Jesus ang kanilang pananampalataya, ay sinabi sa lumpo, Anak, laksan mo ang iyong loob; ang iyong mga kasalanan ay ipinatatawad na.

At narito, ang ilan sa mga eskriba ay nangagsabi sa kanilang sarili, Ang taong ito'y namumusong.

At pagkaunawa ni Jesus ng kanilang mga kaisipan, ay sinabi, Bakit nangagiisip kayo ng masama sa inyong mga puso?

Sapagka't alin baga ang lalong magaang sabihin, Ipinatatawad na ang iyong mga kasalanan; o sabihin, Magtindig ka, at lumakad ka?

Datapuwa't upang maalaman ninyo na ang Anak ng tao'y may kapamahalaan sa lupa na magpatawad ng mga kasalanan (sinabi nga niya sa lumpo), Magtindig ka, buhatin mo ang iyong higaan, at umuwi ka sa iyong bahay.

At nagtindig siya, at umuwi sa kaniyang bahay.

Datapuwa't nang makita ito ng karamihan, ay nangatakot sila, at kanilang niluwalhati ang Dios, na nagbigay ng gayong kapamahalaan sa mga tao.

At pagdaraan doon ni Jesus, ay nakita niya ang isang tao, na kung tawagi'y Mateo, na nakaupo sa paningilan ng buwis: at sinabi niya sa kaniya, Sumunod ka sa akin. At siya'y nagtindig, at sumunod sa kaniya.

10 At nangyari, na nang nakaupo siya sa pagkain sa bahay, narito, ang maraming maniningil ng buwis at mga makasalanan ay nagsirating at nagsiupong kasalo ni Jesus at ng kaniyang mga alagad.

11 At nang makita ito ng mga Fariseo, ay sinabi nila sa kaniyang mga alagad, Bakit sumasalo ang inyong Guro sa mga maniningil ng buwis at mga makasalanan?

12 Datapuwa't nang ito'y marinig niya, ay kaniyang sinabi, Ang mga walang sakit ay hindi nangangailangan ng manggagamot, kundi ang mga may sakit.

13 Datapuwa't magsihayo kayo at inyong pagaralan kung ano ang kahulugan nito, Habag ang ibig ko, at hindi hain: sapagka't hindi ako naparito upang tumawag ng mga matuwid, kundi ng mga makasalanan.

14 Nang magkagayo'y nagsilapit sa kaniya ang mga alagad ni Juan, na nangagsabi, Bakit kami at ang mga Fariseo ay nangagaayunong madalas, datapuwa't hindi nangagaayuno ang mga alagad mo?

15 At sinabi sa kanila ni Jesus, Mangyayari bagang mangagluksa ang mga abay sa kasalan, samantalang ang kasintahang lalake ay kasama nila? datapuwa't darating ang mga araw, na ang kasintahang lalake ay aalisin sa kanila, at kung magkagayo'y mangagaayuno sila.

16 At sinoma'y hindi nagtatagpi ng bagong kayo sa damit na luma; sapagka't ang tagpi ay bumabatak sa damit, at lalong lumalala ang punit.

17 Hindi rin nagsisilid ng bagong alak sa mga balat na luma: sa ibang paraan ay nangagpuputok ang mga balat, at nangabububo ang alak, at nangasisira ang mga balat: kundi isinisilid ang bagong alak sa mga bagong balat, at kapuwa nagsisitagal.

18 Samantalang sinasalita niya ang mga bagay na ito sa kanila, narito, dumating ang isang pinuno, at siya'y sinamba, na nagsasabi, Kamamatay pa lamang ng aking anak na babae: datapuwa't halina at ipatong mo ang iyong kamay sa kaniya, at siya'y mabubuhay.

19 At si Jesus ay nagtindig, at sumama sa kaniya, pati ng kaniyang mga alagad.

20 At narito, isang babaing inaagasang may labingdalawang taon na, ay lumapit sa kaniyang likuran, at hinipo ang laylayan ng kaniyang damit:

21 Sapagka't sinabi niya sa kaniyang kalooban, Kung mahipo ko man lamang ang kaniyang damit, ay gagaling ako.

22 Datapuwa't paglingon ni Jesus at pagkakita sa kaniya, ay sinabi, Anak, laksan mo ang iyong loob; pinagaling ka ng iyong pananampalataya. At gumaling ang babae mula sa oras na yaon.

23 At nang pumasok si Jesus sa bahay ng pinuno, at makita ang mga tumutugtog ng mga plauta, at ang mga taong nangagkakagulo,

24 Ay sinabi niya, Magparaan kayo: sapagka't hindi patay ang dalaga, kundi natutulog. At tinawanan nila siya na nililibak.

25 Datapuwa't nang mapalabas na ang mga tao, ay pumasok siya, at tinangnan niya siya sa kamay; at nagbangon ang dalaga.

26 At kumalat ang pagkabantog na ito sa buong lupang yaon.

27 At pagkaraan doon ni Jesus ay sinundan siya ng dalawang lalaking bulag, na nangagsisisigaw, at nangagsasabi, Mahabag ka sa amin, ikaw na Anak ni David.

28 At nang pumasok siya sa bahay, ay nagsilapit sa kaniya ang mga lalaking bulag: at sinabi sa kanila ni Jesus, Nagsisisampalataya baga kayo na magagawa ko ito? Sinabi nila sa kaniya, Oo, Panginoon.

29 Nang magkagayo'y kaniyang hinipo ang mga mata nila, na sinasabi, Alinsunod sa inyong pananampalataya ay siyang mangyari sa inyo.

30 At nangadilat ang kanilang mga mata. At mahigpit na ipinagbilin ni Jesus sa kanila, na sinasabi, Ingatan ninyong sinoma'y huwag makaalam nito.

31 Datapuwa't sila'y nagsialis, at kanilang inilathala ang kaniyang kabantugan sa buong lupang yaon.

32 At samantalang sila'y nagsisialis, narito, sa kaniya'y dinala ang isang lalaking pipi na inaalihan ng demonio.

33 At nang mapalabas ang demonio, ay nagsalita ang lalaking pipi: at nangagtaka ang mga karamihan, na nangagsasabi, Kailan ma'y hindi nakita sa Israel ang ganito.

34 Datapuwa't sinabi ng mga Fariseo, sa pamamagitan ng prinsipe ng mga demonio ay nagpapalabas siya ng mga demonio.

35 At nililibot ni Jesus ang lahat ng mga bayan at mga nayon, na nagtuturo sa mga sinagoga nila, at ipinangangaral ang evangelio ng kaharian, at pinagagaling ang sarisaring sakit at ang sarisaring karamdaman.

36 Datapuwa't nang makita niya ang mga karamihan, ay nahabag siya sa kanila, sapagka't pawang nangahahapis at nangangalat, na gaya ng mga tupa na walang pastor.

37 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi niya sa kaniyang mga alagad, Katotohana'y ang aanihin ay marami, datapuwa't kakaunti ang mga manggagawa.

38 Idalangin nga ninyo sa Panginoon ng aanihin, na magpadala siya ng mga manggagawa sa kaniyang aanihin.

Na ka eke ia ki te kaipuke, ka whiti ki tawahi, ka haere ki tona pa.

Na ka kawea mai e ratou ki a ia tetahi pararutiki, e takoto ana i runga i te moenga; no te kitenga o Ihu i to ratou whakapono ka mea ia ki te pararutiki, E tama, kia maia; ka oti ou hara te muru.

Na ka mea etahi o nga karaipi ki a ratou ano, E kohukohu ana tenei tangata.

A, ka kite a Ihu i o ratou whakaaro, ka mea ia, He aha i kino ai nga whakaaro o roto o o koutou ngakau?

Ko tehea oti te mea takoto noa, ko te mea, Ka oti ou hara te muru; ko te mea ranei, Whakatika, haere?

Otira kia matau ai koutou he mana muru hara to te Tama a te tangata i runga i te whenua, katahi ia ka mea runga i te whenua, katahi ia ka mea ki te pararutiki, Whakatika, tangohia ake tou moenga, a haere ki tou whare.

Na whakatika ana ia, haere ana ki tona whare.

No te kitenga ia o te hui, ka wehi, ka whakakororia i te Atua, i homai ai tenei mana ki nga tangata.

A, i a Ihu e haere ana i reira, ka kite ia i tetahi tangata, ko Matiu te ingoa, e noho ana i te wahi tango takoha; a ka mea ki a ia, Arumia ahau. Na whakatika ana ia, aru ana i a ia.

10 A, i a ia e noho ana ki te kai i roto i te whare, na he tokomaha nga pupirikana me nga tangata hara i haere mai, i noho tahi ki a Ihu ratou ko ana akonga.

11 A, no te kitenga o nga Parihi, ka mea ki ana akonga, He aha to koutou Kaiwhakaako ka kai tahi ai me nga pupirikana, me nga tangata hara?

12 Otira ka rongo a Ihu, ka mea ki a ratou, Kahore he aha o nga tangata ora e meatia ai e te rata, engari o te hunga e mate ana.

13 Na haere, akona te tikanga o tenei, Ko taku e pai ai ko te tohu tangata, haunga te patunga tapu: kihai hoki ahau i haere mai ki te karanga i te hunga tika, engari i te hunga hara, kia ripeneta.

14 Me i reira ka haere mai ki a ia nga akonga a Hoani, ka mea, He aha i maha ai o matou ko nga Parihi nohoanga pukutanga a kahore au akonga e nohopuku?

15 Na ka mea a Ihu ki a ratou, E ahei ranei nga tamariki o te whare marena te tangi, i te mea kei a ratou te tane marena hou? Na, tera e tae mai nga ra, e tangohia ai te tane marena hou i a ratou, a ko reira nohopuku ai ratou.

16 E kore e meatia e te tangata tetahi wahi o te kahu hou hei papaki mo te kahu tawhito, no te mea ka riro tetahi wahi o taua kakahu i te whakakapi, a ka nui rawa te pakaru.

17 E kore e ringihia te waina hou ki nga ipu tawhito: kei pakaru nga ipu, a ka maringi te waina, kore ake nga ipu: erangi e ringihia ana te waina hou ki nga ipu hou, a ka ora taua rua.

18 I a ia e korero ana i enei mea ki a ratou, na ka haere mai tetahi rangatira, ka koropiko ki a ia, ka mea, Tenei kua marere taku tamahine: otira mau e haere ake, e whakapa tou ringa ki a ia, a ka ora.

19 Na ka whakatika a Ihu ratou ko ana akonga, a aru ana i a ia.

20 Na ko te haerenga ki muri i a ia o tetahi wahine, tekau ma rua nga tau i mate ai i te pakaruhanga toto, a ka pa ki te taniko o tona kakahu:

21 I mea hoki i roto i a ia, Kia pa kau oti ahau ki tona kakahu, ka ora ahau.

22 Na ka tahuri a Ihu, a ka kite i a ia, ka mea, Kia maia, e ko; na tou whakapono koe i ora ai. A ora ake te wahine i taua wa ano.

23 Na, i te taenga o Ihu ki te whare o te rangatira, ka kite i nga kaiwhakatangi putorino, i te huihui hoki e ngangau ana,

24 Ka mea ia ki a ratou, Whakaatea: kahore hoki i mate te kotiro, erangi e moe ana. A kataina iho ia e ratou.

25 Heoi, ka oti te huihui te pei ki waho, ka tomo ia ki roto, ka mau ki tona ringa, a ara ake ana te kotiro.

26 A paku ana tenei rongo puta noa i taua whenua.

27 A, i a Ihu e haere atu ana i reira, tokorua nga matapo i aru i a ia, ka karanga ake, ka mea, E te Tama a Rawiri, kia aroha ki a maua.

28 A, ka tapoko ia ki te whare, ka haere atu nga matapo ki a ia: na ka mea a Ihu ki a raua, E whakapono ana ranei korua e taea tenei e ahau? Ka mea raua ki a ia, Ae, e te Ariki.

29 Me i reira ka pa ia ki o raua kanohi, ka mea, Kia rite ki to korua whakapono te meatanga ki a korua.

30 Na kua kite o raua kanohi; katahi ka whakatupato a Ihu i a raua, ka mea, Kia mahara kei rangona e te tangata.

31 Ko raua ia i puta atu ki waho, a korerotia nuitia ana ia puta noa i taua whenua.

32 I a raua e puta ana ki waho, ka kawea mai ki a ia tetahi tangata wahangu, he rewera tona.

33 A, ka oti te rewera te pei, ka whai reo te wahangu; a miharo ana te mano, ka mea, Kahore ano i kitea te penei i roto i a Iharaira.

34 Otira ka mea nga Parihi, Na te rangatira o nga rewera tana peinga rewera.

35 Na ka haereerea e Ihu nga pa katoa me nga kainga, a ka ako i roto i o ratou whare karakia, ka kauwhau i te rongopai o te rangatiratanga, me te whakaora i te tini o nga mate, i te tini o nga turorotanga o te iwi.

36 A, no tona kitenga i nga mano, ka toko ake tona ngakau aroha ki a ratou, e mauiui ana hoki ratou, e marara ke ana, me he hipi heparakore.

37 Katahi ia ka mea ki ana akonga, He nui te kotinga, ko nga kaimahi ia he ruarua;

38 Na inoi atu ki te Ariki nana te kotinga, kia tonoa e ia he kaimahi ki tana kotinga.

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.”
