[an error occurred while processing this directive]New International Version
1[an error occurred while processing this directive]1Jesus stepped into a boat, crossed over and came to his own town.
2[an error occurred while processing this directive]2Some men brought to him a paralyzed man, lying on a mat. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the man, "Take heart, son; your sins are forgiven."
3[an error occurred while processing this directive]3At this, some of the teachers of the law said to themselves, "This fellow is blaspheming!"
4[an error occurred while processing this directive]4Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said, "Why do you entertain evil thoughts in your hearts?
5[an error occurred while processing this directive]5Which is easier: to say, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Get up and walk'?
6[an error occurred while processing this directive]6But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins." So he said to the paralyzed man, "Get up, take your mat and go home."
7[an error occurred while processing this directive]7Then the man got up and went home.
8[an error occurred while processing this directive]8When the crowd saw this, they were filled with awe; and they praised God, who had given such authority to man.
9[an error occurred while processing this directive]9As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector's booth. "Follow me," he told him, and Matthew got up and followed him.
10[an error occurred while processing this directive]10While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew's house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with him and his disciples.
11[an error occurred while processing this directive]11When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?"
12[an error occurred while processing this directive]12On hearing this, Jesus said, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.
13[an error occurred while processing this directive]13But go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.' For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."
14[an error occurred while processing this directive]14Then John's disciples came and asked him, "How is it that we and the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples do not fast?"
15[an error occurred while processing this directive]15Jesus answered, "How can the guests of the bridegroom mourn while he is with them? The time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.
16[an error occurred while processing this directive]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[an error occurred while processing this directive]17Neither 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."
18[an error occurred while processing this directive]18While he was saying this, a synagogue leader came and knelt before him and said, "My daughter has just died. But come and put your hand on her, and she will live."
19[an error occurred while processing this directive]19Jesus got up and went with him, and so did his disciples.
20[an error occurred while processing this directive]20Just then a woman who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak.
21[an error occurred while processing this directive]21She said to herself, "If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed."
22[an error occurred while processing this directive]22Jesus turned and saw her. "Take heart, daughter," he said, "your faith has healed you." And the woman was healed at that moment.
23[an error occurred while processing this directive]23When Jesus entered the synagogue leader's house and saw the noisy crowd and people playing pipes,
24[an error occurred while processing this directive]24he said, "Go away. The girl is not dead but asleep." But they laughed at him.
25[an error occurred while processing this directive]25After the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took the girl by the hand, and she got up.
26[an error occurred while processing this directive]26News of this spread through all that region.
27[an error occurred while processing this directive]27As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him, calling out, "Have mercy on us, Son of David!"
28[an error occurred while processing this directive]28When 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.
29[an error occurred while processing this directive]29Then he touched their eyes and said, "According to your faith let it be done to you";
30[an error occurred while processing this directive]30and their sight was restored. Jesus warned them sternly, "See that no one knows about this."
31[an error occurred while processing this directive]31But they went out and spread the news about him all over that region.
32[an error occurred while processing this directive]32While they were going out, a man who was demon-possessed and could not talk was brought to Jesus.
33[an error occurred while processing this directive]33And 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."
34[an error occurred while processing this directive]34But the Pharisees said, "It is by the prince of demons that he drives out demons."
35[an error occurred while processing this directive]35Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness.
36[an error occurred while processing this directive]36When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.
37[an error occurred while processing this directive]37Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.
38[an error occurred while processing this directive]38Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field."
