1 And he got into a boat and went across and came to his town.
2 And they took to him a man stretched on a bed who had no power of moving; and Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the man who was ill, Son, take heart; you have forgiveness for your sins.
3 And some of the scribes said among themselves, This man has no respect for God.
4 And Jesus, having knowledge of what was in their minds, said, Why are your thoughts evil?
5 For which is the simpler, to say, You have forgiveness for your sins; or to say, Get up and go?
6 But so that you may see that on earth the Son of man has authority for the forgiveness of sins, (then said he to the man who was ill,) Get up, and take up your bed, and go to your house.
7 And he got up and went away to his house.
8 But when the people saw it they were full of fear, and gave glory to God who had given such authority to men.
9 And when Jesus was going from there, he saw a man whose name was Matthew, seated at the place where taxes were taken; and he said to him, Come after me. And he got up and went after him.
10 And it came about, when he was in the house taking food, that a number of tax-farmers and sinners came and took their places with Jesus and his disciples.
11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, Why does your Master take food with tax-farmers and sinners?
12 But on hearing this he said, Those who are well have no need of a medical man, but those who are ill.
13 But go and take to heart the sense of these words, My desire is for mercy, not offerings: for I have come not to get the upright, but sinners.
14 Then the disciples of John came to him, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees frequently go without food, but your disciples do not?
15 And Jesus said to them, Will the friends of the newly-married man be sad as long as he is with them? But the days will come when he will be taken away from them, and then will they go without food.
16 And no man puts a bit of new cloth on an old coat, for by pulling away from the old, it makes a worse hole.
17 And men do not put new wine into old wine-skins; or the skins will be burst and the wine will come out, and the skins are of no more use: but they put new wine into new wine-skins, and so the two will be safe.
18 While he was saying these things to them, there came a ruler and gave him worship, saying, My daughter is even now dead; but come and put your hand on her, and she will come back to life.
19 And Jesus got up and went after him, and so did his disciples.
20 And a woman, who for twelve years had had a flow of blood, came after him, and put her hand on the edge of his robe:
21 Because, she said to herself, if I may but put my hand on his robe, I will be made well.
22 But Jesus, turning and seeing her, said, Daughter, take heart; your faith has made you well. And the woman was made well from that hour.
23 And when Jesus came into the ruler's house and saw the players with their instruments and the people making a noise,
24 He said, Make room; for the girl is not dead, but sleeping. And they were laughing at him.
25 But when the people were sent out, he went in and took her by the hand; and the girl got up.
26 And the news of it went out into all that land.
27 And when Jesus went on from there, two blind men came after him, crying out, Have mercy on us, you Son of David.
28 And when he had come into the house, the blind men came to him; and Jesus said to them, Have you faith that I am able to do this? They said to him, Yes, Lord.
29 Then he put his hand on their eyes, saying, As your faith is, let it be done to you.
30 And their eyes were made open. And Jesus said to them sharply, Let no man have knowledge of it.
31 But they went out and gave news of him in all that land.
32 And while they were going away, there came to him a man without the power of talking, and with an evil spirit.
33 And when the evil spirit had been sent out, the man had the power of talking: and they were all surprised, saying, Such a thing has never been seen in Israel.
34 But the Pharisees said, By the ruler of evil spirits, he sends evil spirits out of men.
35 And Jesus went about all the towns and small places, teaching in their Synagogues and preaching the good news of the kingdom and making well all sorts of disease and pain.
36 But when he saw all the people he was moved with pity for them, because they were troubled and wandering like sheep without a keeper.
37 Then he said to his disciples, There is much grain but not enough men to get it in.
38 Make prayer, then, to the Lord of the grain-fields, that he may send out workers to get in his grain.
1 Entrando Jesus num barco, atravessou o mar e foi para a sua própria cidade.
2 Alguns homens trouxeram-lhe um paralítico, deitado numa cama. Vendo a fé que eles tinham, Jesus disse ao paralítico: "Tenha bom ânimo, filho; os seus pecados estão perdoados".
3 Diante disso, alguns mestres da lei disseram a si mesmos: "Este homem está blasfemando! "
4 Conhecendo Jesus seus pensamentos, disse-lhes: "Por que vocês pensam maldosamente em seus corações?
5 Que é mais fácil dizer: ‘Os seus pecados estão perdoados’, ou: ‘Levante-se e ande’?
6 Mas, para que vocês saibam que o Filho do homem tem na terra autoridade para perdoar pecados" — disse ao paralítico: "Levante-se, pegue a sua maca e vá para casa".
7 Ele se levantou e foi.
8 Vendo isso, a multidão ficou cheia de temor e glorificou a Deus, que dera tal autoridade aos homens.
9 Passando por ali, Jesus viu um homem chamado Mateus, sentado na coletoria, e disse-lhe: "Siga-me". Mateus levantou-se e o seguiu.
10 Estando Jesus em casa, foram comer com ele e seus discípulos muitos publicanos e "pecadores".
11 Vendo isso, os fariseus perguntaram aos discípulos dele: "Por que o mestre de vocês come com publicanos e ‘pecadores’? "
12 Ouvindo isso, Jesus disse: "Não são os que têm saúde que precisam de médico, mas sim os doentes.
13 Vão aprender o que significa isto: ‘Desejo misericórdia, não sacrifícios’. Pois eu não vim chamar justos, mas pecadores".
14 Então os discípulos de João vieram perguntar-lhe: "Por que nós e os fariseus jejuamos, mas os teus discípulos não? "
15 Jesus respondeu: "Como podem os convidados do noivo ficar de luto enquanto o noivo está com eles? Virão dias quando o noivo lhes será tirado; então jejuarão.
16 "Ninguém põe remendo de pano novo em roupa velha, pois o remendo forçará a roupa, tornando pior o rasgo.
17 Nem se põe vinho novo em vasilhas de couro velhas; se o fizer, as vasilhas se rebentarão, o vinho se derramará e as vasilhas se estragarão. Pelo contrário, põe-se vinho novo em vasilhas de couro novas; e ambos se conservam".
18 Falava ele ainda quando um dos dirigentes da sinagoga chegou, ajoelhou-se diante dele e disse: "Minha filha acaba de morrer. Vem e impõe a tua mão sobre ela, e ela viverá".
19 Jesus levantou-se e foi com ele, e também os seus discípulos.
20 Nisso uma mulher que havia doze anos vinha sofrendo de uma hemorragia, chegou por trás dele e tocou na borda do seu manto,
21 pois dizia a si mesma: "Se eu tão-somente tocar em seu manto, ficarei curada".
22 Voltando-se, Jesus a viu e disse: "Ânimo, filha, a sua fé a curou! " E desde aquele instante a mulher ficou curada.
23 Quando ele chegou à casa do dirigente da sinagoga e viu os flautistas e a multidão agitada,
24 disse: "Saiam! A menina não está morta, mas dorme". Todos começaram a rir dele.
25 Depois que a multidão se afastou, ele entrou e tomou a menina pela mão, e ela se levantou.
26 A notícia deste acontecimento espalhou-se por toda aquela região.
27 Saindo Jesus dali, dois cegos o seguiram, clamando: "Filho de Davi, tem misericórdia de nós! "
28 Entrando ele em casa, os cegos se aproximaram, e ele lhes perguntou: "Vocês crêem que eu sou capaz de fazer isso? " Eles responderam: "Sim, Senhor! "
29 E ele, tocando nos olhos deles, disse: "Que lhes seja feito segundo a fé que vocês têm! "
30 E a visão deles foi restaurada. Então Jesus os advertiu severamente: "Cuidem para que ninguém saiba disso".
31 Eles, porém, saíram e espalharam a notícia por toda aquela região.
32 Enquanto eles se retiravam, foi levado a Jesus um homem endemoninhado que não podia falar.
33 Quando o demônio foi expulso, o mudo começou a falar. A multidão ficou admirada e disse: "Nunca se viu nada parecido em Israel! "
34 Mas os fariseus diziam: "É pelo príncipe dos demônios que ele expulsa demônios".
35 Jesus ia passando por todas as cidades e povoados, ensinando nas sinagogas, pregando as boas novas do Reino e curando todas as enfermidades e doenças.
36 Ao ver as multidões, teve compaixão delas, porque estavam aflitas e desamparadas, como ovelhas sem pastor.
37 Então disse aos seus discípulos: "A seara é grande, mas os trabalhadores são poucos.
38 Peçam, pois, ao Senhor da seara que envie trabalhadores para a sua seara".
