Literal Emphasis Translation Par ▾ 
1And having stepped into a boat, He passed through and came unto His own city.

2And behold, they brought to Him a paralytic lying (cast, thrown) upon a bed; and Jesus having seen their faith, He said to the paralytic, Take courage (Be emboldened), child; your sins have been remitted. 3And behold, some of the scribes said among themselves, This Man blasphemes! And Jesus having known the underlying passion driving their deliberations (enthymeseis- inner-passion), He said, Why are you empassioning (deliberating, enthymeisthe, the inner passion driving the thoughts) evil in your hearts? 4For which is easier to say, Your sins have been remitted, or to say, Arise and walk? 5However so that you might know that the Son of Man has authority upon the earth to remit sins: then He says to the paralytic, Arise, take up your bed and go unto your house. 6And having arisen, he went away unto his house. 7And the crowds having seen feared and glorified God who had given such authority to men. 8And Jesus passing from there, He saw a man sitting down at (upon) the tax booth, called Matthew, and says to him, Follow Me. And having arisen, he followed Him.

9And it happened that as He was reclining at the table in the house, and behold, many tax collectors and sinners having come were reclining at the table with Jesus and His disciples.

10And having seen it, the Pharisees said to His disciples, Why does your Teacher eat with the tax collectors and sinners? 11And having heard, He said, Those being strong (able) have no need of a physician (iatrou), but those being badly (kakos, sick). 12However Go, learn what is [this means], I want mercy and not sacrifice: for I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners. 13Then the disciples of John come to Him, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast often (much), however Your disciples do not fast?

14And Jesus said to them, Can the sons of the bridal-chamber (this can be the chamber containing the bridal bed or the room in which the marriage ceremonies are held) mourn upon as long as the bridegroom is them? 15However days will come when the bridegroom will have been taken away from them and then they will fast.

16And no one places (throws) a patch of unshrunk cloth upon old (worn out) clothing; for its filler (the patch filling it up) tears away (raises, removes) from the garment and a worse tear happens. 17Nor do they pour new (young, fresh) wine into old (worn out) wineskins; otherwise (if moreover lest) the wineskins burst and the wine is poured out and the wineskins are destroyed. But they throw (place) new (young, fresh) wine into new (unused) wineskins and both are together preserved (kept intact together).

18As He was speaking these things to them, behold, a certain ruler having come, knelt down to Him, saying, My daughter has died just now; but having come, lay Your hand upon her and she will live. 19And having arisen, Jesus and His disciples followed him.

20And behold, a woman having had a flow of blood (haimorroousa- haima-blood rheo-flow, latin- sanguinis fluxum – blood issue/flux) for twelve years, having come up behind, touched the fringe of His outer garment. 21For she said within herself, If only I shall touch His outer garment, I will be saved (cured). 22And Jesus, having turned and seen her, said, Take courage (Be emboldened), daughter; your faith has saved (cured) you. And the woman was saved (cured) from that there hour.

23And Jesus having come into the house of the ruler and having seen the flute-players and the crowd making a noisy commotion, 24Says, Go back (Withdraw, Give place). For the young girl is not dead, but sleeps. And they ridiculed Him. 25And when the crowd had been put outside, having entered, He took hold of her hand and the young girl arose. 26And this report (fame) went out into that there whole land.

27And Jesus passing on from there, two blind men followed, crying out and saying, Son of David have mercy on us. 28And having come into the house, the blind men came to Him, and Jesus says to them, Do you believe that I am able to do this? They say to Him, Yes, Lord. 29Then He touched their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it to you. 30And their eyes were opened and Jesus sternly warned them, See that no one knows. 31However having gone out, they make Him known in that there whole land.

32And as they were going out, behold, they brought to Him a mute man being demonized. 33And the demon having been cast out, the mute man spoke. And the crowds marveled, saying, Never was thus seen in Israel. 34And the Pharisees said, He casts out demons by (in) the principal ruler (preeminent leader) of the demons.

35And Jesus went around all the cities and the villages teaching in their synagogues and preaching the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every weakness (softness, disability).

36And having seen the crowds, He was moved with compassion (visceral affections such as sympathy, etc.) concerning them, because they were vexed and cast aside, as sheep not having a shepherd. 37Then He says to His disciples, Indeed the harvest is plentiful (much, great) however the workmen are few; 38Appeal (request) therefore to the Lord of the harvest, so that He might put out (cast) workmen into His harvest.
