1After getting into a boat, Jesus crossed to the other side and came to his own city.

1Jesus got into a boat, crossed over, and came to His own town.

2All at once some people brought him a paralyzed man lying on a stretcher. When Jesus saw their faith, he told the paralyzed man, "Be courageous, son! Your sins are forgiven."

2Just then some men brought to Him a paralytic lying on a mat. When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Take courage, son; your sins are forgiven.”

3Then some of the scribes told themselves, "This fellow is blaspheming!"

3On seeing this, some of the scribes said to themselves, “This man is blaspheming!”

4But Jesus, knowing what they were thinking, replied, "Why do you have such evil thoughts in your hearts?

4But Jesus knew what they were thinking and said, “Why do you harbor evil in your hearts?

5Which is easier: to say, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Get up and walk'?

5Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk?’

6But so you will know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins…" he told the paralyzed man, "Get up, pick up your stretcher, and go home!"

6But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins...” Then He said to the paralytic, “Get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”

7So the man got up and went home.

7And the man got up and went home.

8When the crowds saw this, they became frightened and glorified God for giving such authority to humans.

8When the crowds saw this, they were filled with awe and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.

9As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector's desk and told him, "Follow me." So he got up and followed him.

9As Jesus went on from there, He saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax booth. “Follow Me,” He told him, and Matthew got up and followed Him.

10While he was having dinner at Matthew's home, many tax collectors and sinners arrived and began eating with Jesus and his disciples.

10Later, as Jesus was dining at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with Him and His disciples.

11The Pharisees saw this and asked his disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?"

11When the Pharisees saw this, they asked His disciples, “Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

12When Jesus heard that, he said, "Healthy people don't need a physician, but sick people do.

12On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.

13Go and learn what this means: 'I want mercy and not sacrifice,' because I did not come to call righteous people, but sinners."

13But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

14Then John's disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples don't fast?"

14At that time John’s disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Why is it that we and the Pharisees fast so often, but Your disciples do not fast?”

15Jesus asked them, "The wedding guests can't mourn as long as the groom is with them, can they? But the time will come when the groom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast."

15Jesus replied, “How can the guests of the bridegroom mourn while He is with them? But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.

16"No one patches an old garment with a piece of unshrunk cloth, because the patch pulls away from the garment, and a worse tear results.

16No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. For the patch will pull away from the garment, and a worse tear will result.

17Nor do people pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst, the wine will spill out, and the skins will be ruined. Instead, they pour new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved."

17Neither do men pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst, the wine will spill, and the wineskins will be ruined. Instead, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.”

18While Jesus was telling them these things, an official came up and fell down before him. "My daughter has just died," he said. "But come and lay your hand on her, and she will live."

18While Jesus was saying these things, a synagogue leader came and knelt before Him. “My daughter has just died,” he said. “But come and place Your hand on her, and she will live.”

19So Jesus got up and followed him, along with his disciples.

19So Jesus got up and went with him, along with His disciples.

20Just then a woman who had been suffering from chronic bleeding for twelve years came up behind him and touched the tassel of his garment,

20Suddenly a woman who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His cloak.

21because she had been saying to herself, "If I just touch his robe, I will get well."

21She said to herself, “If only I touch His cloak, I will be healed.”

22When Jesus turned and saw her, he said, "Be courageous, daughter! Your faith has made you well." And from that very hour the woman was well.

22Jesus turned and saw her. “Take courage, daughter,” He said, “your faith has healed you.” And the woman was cured from that very hour.

23When Jesus came to the official's house and saw the flute players and the crowd making a commotion,

23When Jesus entered the house of the synagogue leader, He saw the flute players and the noisy crowd.

24he said, "Go away! The young lady hasn't died, but is sleeping." But they ridiculed him with laughter.

24“Go away,” He told them. “The girl is not dead, but asleep.” And they laughed at Him.

25When the crowd had been driven outside, he went in, took her by the hand, and the young lady got up.

25After the crowd had been put outside, Jesus went in and took the girl by the hand, and she got up.

26The news of this spread throughout that land.

27As Jesus was traveling on from there, two blind men followed him, shouting, "Have mercy on us, Son of David!"

27As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!”

28When he had gone into the house, the blind men came to him. Jesus asked them, "Do you believe I can do this?" They told him, "Yes, Lord!"

28After Jesus had entered the house, the blind men came to Him. “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” He asked. “Yes, Lord,” they answered.

29Then he touched their eyes and said, "According to your faith, let it be done for you!"

29Then He touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith will it be done to you.”

30And their eyes were opened. Then Jesus sternly told them, "See to it that nobody knows about this."

30And their eyes were opened. Jesus warned them sternly, “See that no one finds out about this!”

31But they went out and spread the news about him throughout that region.

31But they went out and spread the news about Him throughout the land.

32As the men were going out, a man who couldn't talk because he was demon-possessed was brought to him.

32As they were leaving, a demon-possessed man who was mute was brought to Jesus.

33As soon as the demon had been driven out, the man began to speak. The crowds were amazed and said, "Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!"

33And when the demon had been driven out, the man began to speak. The crowds were amazed and said, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!”

34But the Pharisees kept saying, "He drives out demons by the ruler of demons."

34But the Pharisees said, “It is by the prince of demons that He drives out demons.”

35Then Jesus began traveling throughout all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every illness.

35Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness.

37Then he told his disciples, "The harvest is vast, but the workers are few.

38So ask the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest."

38Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest.”
