Matthew 9:1-13 ▼

1 Then he entred in to a shippe and passed over and came in to his awne cite.

2 And lo they brought to him a ma sicke of ye palsie lyinge in his bed. And when Iesus sawe ye faith of the he sayd to the sicke of ye palsie: sonne be of good chere thy sinnes be forgeve the.

3 And beholde certeyne of ye scribes sayd in the selves this ma blasphemeth.

4 And whe Iesus sawe their thoughtes he sayd: wherfore thinke ye evill in youre hertes?

5 Whether ys esyer to saye thy synnes be forgeven ye or to saye: arise and walke?

6 That ye maye knowe that ye sonne of ma hath power to forgeve sinnes in erth then sayd he vnto ye sicke of ye palsye: arise take vp thy beed and go home to thine housse.

7 And he arose and departed to his awne housse.

8 And when ye people sawe it they marveyled and glorified god which had geve suche power to me.

9 And as Iesus passed forth fro thence he sawe a ma syt a receyuinge of custome named Mathew and sayd to him: folowe me.

10 And he arose and folowed him. And it came to passe as he sat at meate in the housse: beholde many publicans and synners came and sate downe also with Iesus and hys disciples.

11 When the Pharises sawe that they sayd to hys disciples: why eateth youre master wt publicans and synners?

12 When Iesus herde that he sayde vnto them: The whole neade not the phisicion but they that are sicke.

13 Goo and learne what that meaneth: I have pleasure in mercy and not in offerynge. For I am not come to call the rightewes but the synners to repentaunce.
