Matthäus 9
Schlachter 1951
Heilung eines Gelähmten
9 Und er trat in das Schiff, fuhr hinüber und kam in seine Stadt[a]. 2 Und siehe, da brachten sie einen Gelähmten zu ihm, der auf einem Bett lag. Und als Jesus ihren Glauben sah, sprach er zu dem Gelähmten: Sei getrost, mein Sohn, deine Sünden sind dir vergeben!
3 Und siehe, etliche der Schriftgelehrten sprachen bei sich selbst: Dieser lästert!
4 Und da Jesus ihre Gedanken sah, sprach er: Warum denkt ihr Böses in euren Herzen? 5 Was ist denn leichter, zu sagen: Deine Sünden sind dir vergeben, oder zu sagen: Steh auf und geh umher? 6 Damit ihr aber wißt, daß des Menschen Sohn Vollmacht hat, auf Erden Sünden zu vergeben - sprach er zu dem Gelähmten -: Steh auf, nimm dein Bett und geh heim! 7 Und er stand auf und ging heim. 8 Als aber die Volksmenge das sah, verwunderte sie sich und pries Gott, der solche Vollmacht den Menschen gegeben hatte.
Berufung des Matthäus
9 Und als Jesus von da weiter ging, sah er einen Menschen an der Zollstätte sitzen, der hieß Matthäus; und er spricht zu ihm: Folge mir nach! Und er stand auf und folgte ihm nach.
10 Und es geschah, als er in dem Haus zu Tisch lag, siehe, da kamen viele Zöllner und Sünder und lagen mit Jesus und seinen Jüngern zu Tisch. 11 Und als die Pharisäer es sahen, sprachen sie zu seinen Jüngern: Warum ißt euer Meister mit den Zöllnern und Sündern? 12 Jesus aber, als er es hörte, sprach zu ihnen: Die Starken bedürfen des Arztes nicht, sondern die Kranken. 13 Geht aber hin und lernt, was das heißt: „Ich will Barmherzigkeit und nicht Opfer[b].“ Denn ich bin nicht gekommen, Gerechte zu berufen, sondern Sünder zur Buße.
Vom Fasten. Gleichnisse vom neuen Flicken und vom neuen Wein
14 Da kamen die Jünger des Johannes zu ihm und sprachen: Warum fasten wir und die Pharisäer so viel, deine Jünger aber fasten nicht? 15 Und Jesus sprach zu ihnen: Können die Hochzeitleute[c] trauern, solange der Bräutigam bei ihnen ist? Es werden aber Tage kommen, wo der Bräutigam von ihnen genommen sein wird, und dann werden sie fasten. 16 Niemand aber setzt einen Flicken von ungewalktem[d] Tuch auf ein altes Kleid, denn der Flicken[e] reißt von dem Kleid, und der Riß wird schlimmer. 17 Man füllt auch nicht neuen Wein in alte Schläuche, sonst zerreißen die Schläuche und der Wein wird verschüttet und die Schläuche verderben; sondern man füllt neuen Wein in neue Schläuche, so bleiben beide miteinander erhalten.
Auferweckung der Tocher des Jairus und Heilung einer blutflüssigen Frau
18 Und als er dies mit ihnen redete, siehe, da kam ein Vorsteher[f], fiel vor ihm nieder und sprach: Meine Tochter ist eben gestorben; aber komm und leg deine Hand auf sie, so wird sie leben! 19 Und Jesus stand auf und folgte ihm mit seinen Jüngern.
20 Und siehe, eine Frau, die zwölf Jahre blutflüssig war, trat von hinten herzu und rührte den Saum[g] seines Kleides[h] an. 21 Denn sie sagte bei sich selbst: Wenn ich nur sein Kleid anrühre, so bin ich geheilt[i]! 22 Jesus aber wandte sich um, sah sie und sprach: Sei getrost, meine Tochter, dein Glaube hat dich geheilt[j]! Und die Frau war geheilt von jener Stunde an.
23 Als nun Jesus in das Haus des Obersten kam und die Pfeifer und das Getümmel sah, 24 sprach er zu ihnen: Entfernt euch! Denn das Mädchen ist nicht gestorben, sondern es schläft. Und sie verlachten ihn. 25 Als aber die Volksmenge hinausgetrieben war, ging er hinein und faßte sie bei der Hand; und das Mädchen stand auf. 26 Und das Gerücht davon verbreitete sich in jener ganzen Gegend.
Heilung von zwei Blinden und einem Bessessenen
27 Und als Jesus von dort weiterging, folgten ihm zwei Blinde nach, die schrieen und sprachen: Du Sohn Davids, erbarme dich unser! 28 Als er nun ins Haus kam, traten die Blinden zu ihm. Und Jesus fragte sie: Glaubt ihr, daß ich dies tun kann? Sie sprachen zu ihm: Ja, Herr! 29 Da rührte er ihre Augen an und sprach: Euch geschehe nach eurem Glauben! 30 Und ihre Augen wurden geöffnet. Und Jesus ermahnte sie[k] ernstlich und sprach: Seht zu, daß es niemand erfährt! 31 Sie aber gingen hinaus und machten ihn in jener ganzen Gegend bekannt.
32 Als sie aber hinausgingen, siehe, da brachte man einen Menschen zu ihm, der stumm und besessen war. 33 Und nachdem der Dämon ausgetrieben war, redete der Stumme. Und die Volksmenge verwunderte sich und sprach: So etwas ist noch nie in Israel gesehen worden! 34 Die Pharisäer aber sagten: Durch den Obersten der Dämonen treibt er die Dämonen aus!
Jesu Mitleid mit der Volksmenge
35 Und Jesus durchzog alle Städte und Dörfer, lehrte in ihren Synagogen, predigte das Evangelium von dem Reich und heilte jede Krankheit und jedes Gebrechen im Volk.
36 Als er aber die Volksmenge sah, empfand er Mitleid mit ihnen, weil sie ermattet[l] und vernachlässigt[m] waren wie Schafe, die keinen Hirten haben. 37 Da sprach er zu seinen Jüngern: Die Ernte ist groß, aber der Arbeiter sind wenige. 38 Darum bittet den Herrn der Ernte, daß er Arbeiter in seine Ernte aussende!

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.”

English Standard Version
Jesus Heals a Paralytic
9 And getting into a boat he crossed over and came to (A)his own city. 2 (B)And behold, some people brought to him a paralytic, lying on a bed. And when Jesus (C)saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, (D)“Take heart, my son; (E)your sins are forgiven.” 3 And behold, some of the scribes said to themselves, (F)“This man is blaspheming.” 4 But Jesus, (G)knowing[a] their thoughts, said, “Why do you think evil in your hearts? 5 For which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Rise and walk’? 6 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 bed and go home.” 7 And he rose and went home. 8 When the crowds saw it, (H)they were afraid, and (I)they glorified God, who had (J)given such authority to men.
Jesus Calls Matthew
9 (K)As Jesus passed on from there, he saw a man called (L)Matthew sitting at the tax booth, and he said to him, “Follow me.” And he rose and followed him.
10 And as Jesus[b] reclined at table in the house, behold, many (M)tax collectors and sinners came and were reclining with Jesus and his disciples. 11 And when the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, (N)“Why does your teacher eat with (O)tax collectors and sinners?” 12 But when he heard it, he said, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. 13 Go and learn (P)what this means: (Q)‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.’ For (R)I came not to call the righteous, (S)but sinners.”
A Question About Fasting
14 Then (T)the disciples of John came to him, saying, (U)“Why do we and (V)the Pharisees fast,[c] but your disciples do not fast?” 15 And Jesus said to them, (W)“Can the wedding guests mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? (X)The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and (Y)then they will fast. 16 No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch tears away from the garment, and a worse tear is made. 17 Neither is new wine put into old (Z)wineskins. If it is, the skins burst and the wine is spilled and the skins are destroyed. But new wine is put into fresh wineskins, and so both are preserved.”
A Girl Restored to Life and a Woman Healed
18 (AA)While he was saying these things to them, behold, a ruler came in and (AB)knelt before him, saying, “My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live.” 19 And Jesus rose and followed him, with his disciples. 20 And behold, a woman (AC)who had suffered from a discharge of blood for twelve years came up behind him and touched (AD)the fringe of his garment, 21 for she said to herself, “If I only touch his garment, I will be made well.” 22 Jesus turned, and seeing her he said, (AE)“Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well.” (AF)And instantly[d] the woman was made well. 23 And when Jesus came to the ruler's house and saw (AG)the flute players and the crowd making a commotion, 24 he said, “Go away, for (AH)the girl is not dead but (AI)sleeping.” And they laughed at him. 25 But (AJ)when the crowd had been put outside, he went in and (AK)took her by the hand, and the girl arose. 26 And the report of this went through all that district.
Jesus Heals Two Blind Men
27 (AL)And as Jesus passed on from there, two blind men followed him, crying aloud, “Have mercy on us, (AM)Son of David.” 28 When he entered 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 (AN)Then he touched their eyes, saying, (AO)“According to your faith let it be done to you.” 30 And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly warned them, (AP)“See that no one knows about it.” 31 (AQ)But they went away and spread his fame through all that district.
Jesus Heals a Man Unable to Speak
32 As they were going away, behold, a (AR)demon-oppressed man who was mute (AS)was brought to him. 33 And when the demon had been cast out, the mute man spoke. And the crowds (AT)marveled, saying, “Never was anything like this seen in Israel.” 34 But the Pharisees said, “He casts out demons by the prince of demons.”
The Harvest Is Plentiful, the Laborers Few
35 (AU)And Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction. 36 (AV)When he saw the crowds, (AW)he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, (AX)like sheep without a shepherd. 37 (AY)Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; 38 therefore (AZ)pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to (BA)send out laborers into his harvest.”
