1 Isus S'a suit într'o corabie, a trecut marea, şi a venit în cetatea Sa.
2 Şi iată că I-au adus un slăbănog, care zăcea într'un pat. Isus le -a văzut credinţa, şi a zis slăbănogului: ,,Îndrăzneşte, fiule! Păcatele îţi sînt iertate!``
3 Şi iată că, unii din cărturari au zis în ei înşişi: ,,Omul acesta huleşte!``
4 Isus, care le cunoştea gîndurile, a zis: ,,Pentruce aveţi gînduri rele în inimile voastre?``
5 Căci ce este mai lesne? A zice: ,,Iertate îţi sînt păcatele``, sau a zice: ,,Scoală-te şi umblă?``
6 Dar, ca să ştiţi că Fiul omului are putere pe pămînt să ierte păcatele, -,,Scoală-te``, a zis El slăbănogului, ,,ridică-ţi patul, şi du-te acasă.``
7 Slăbănogul s'a sculat, şi s'a dus acasă.
8 Cînd au văzut noroadele lucrul acesta, s'au spăimîntat, şi au slăvit pe Dumnezeu, care a dat oamenilor o astfel de putere.
9 De acolo, Isus a mers mai departe, şi a văzut pe un om, numit Matei, şezînd la vamă. Şi i -a zis: ,,Vino după Mine``. Omul acela s'a sculat, şi a mers după El.
10 Pe cînd şedea Isus la masă, în casă, iată că au venit o mulţime de vameşi şi păcătoşi, şi au şezut la masă cu El şi cu ucenicii Lui.
11 Fariseii au văzut lucrul acesta, şi au zis ucenicilor Lui: ,,Pentruce mănîncă Învăţătorul vostru cu vameşii şi cu păcătoşii?``
12 Isus i -a auzit, şi le -a zis: ,,Nu cei sănătoşi au trebuinţă de doftor, ci cei bolnavi.
13 Duceţi-vă de învăţaţi ce înseamnă: ,Milă voiesc, iar nu jertfă!` Căci n'am venit să chem la pocăinţă pe cei neprihăniţi, ci pe cei păcătoşi.``
14 Atunci ucenicii lui Ioan au venit la Isus, şi I-au zis: ,,De ce noi şi Fariseii postim des, iar ucenicii Tăi nu postesc de loc?``
15 Isus le -a răspuns: ,,Se pot jăli nuntaşii cîtă vreme este mirele cu ei? Vor veni zile, cînd mirele va fi luat dela ei, şi atunci vor posti.
16 Nimeni nu pune un petec de postav nou la o haină veche; pentrucă şi-ar lua umplutura din haină, şi ruptura ar fi mai rea.
17 Nici nu pun oamenii vin nou în burdufuri vechi; altfel, burdufurile plesnesc, vinul se varsă, şi burdufurile se prăpădesc; ci vinul nou îl pun în burdufuri noi, şi se păstrează amîndouă.``
18 Pe cînd le spunea Isus aceste vorbe, iată că a venit unul din fruntaşii sinagogii, I s'a închinat, şi I -a zis: ,,Fiica mea adineaori a murit; dar vino de pune-Ţi mînile peste ea, şi va învia.``
19 Isus S'a sculat, şi a plecat după el împreună cu ucenicii Lui.
20 Şi iată o femeie, care de doisprezece ani avea o scurgere de sînge, a venit pe dinapoi, şi s'a atins de poala hainei Lui.
21 Căci îşi zicea ea: ,,Numai să mă pot atinge de haina Lui, şi mă voi tămădui.``
22 Isus S'a întors, a văzut -o, şi i -a zis: ,,Îndrăzneşte, fiică! Credinţa ta te -a tămăduit.`` Şi s'a tămăduit femeia chiar în ceasul acela.
23 Cînd a ajuns Isus în casa fruntaşului sinagogii, şi cînd a văzut pe ceice cîntau din fluier, şi gloata bocind,
24 le -a zis: ,,Daţi-vă la o parte; căci fetiţa n'a murit, ci doarme!`` Ei îşi băteau joc de El.
25 Dar, dupăce a fost scoasă gloata afară, Isus a intrat înlăuntru, a luat pe fetiţă de mînă, şi fetiţa s -a sculat.
26 Şi s'a dus vestea despre această minune în tot ţinutul acela.
27 Cînd a plecat de acolo, s'au luat după Isus doi orbi, cari strigau şi ziceau: ,,Ai milă de noi, Fiul lui David!``
28 După ce a intrat în casă, orbii au venit la El. Şi Isus le -a zis: ,,Credeţi că pot face lucrul acesta?`` ,,Da, Doamne``, I-au răspuns ei.
29 Atunci S'a atins de ochii lor, şi a zis: ,,Facă-vi-se după credinţa voastră!``
30 Şi li s'au deschis ochii. Isus le -a poruncit cu tot dinadinsul şi le -a zis: ,,Vedeţi, să nu ştie nimeni.``
31 Dar ei, cum au ieşit afară, au răspîndit vestea despre El în tot ţinutul acela.
32 Pe cînd plecau orbii aceştia, iată că au adus la Isus un mut îndrăcit.
33 După ce a fost scos dracul din el, mutul a vorbit. Şi noroadele, mirate, ziceau: ,,Niciodată nu s'a văzut aşa ceva în Israel!``
34 Dar Fariseii ziceau: ,,Cu ajutorul domnului dracilor scoate El dracii!``
35 Isus străbătea toate cetăţile şi satele, învăţînd pe norod în sinagogi, propovăduind Evanghelia Împărăţiei, şi vindecînd orice fel de boală şi orice fel de neputinţă, care era în norod.
36 Cînd a văzut gloatele, I s'a făcut milă de ele, pentru că erau necăjite şi risipite, ca nişte oi cari n'au păstor.
37 Atunci a zis ucenicilor Săi: ,,Mare este secerişul, dar puţini sînt lucrătorii!
38 Rugaţi dar pe Domnul secerişului să scoată lucrători la secerişul Lui.``
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.
