Matthew 9:24-38 ▼

24 He says to them, “Withdraw, for the girl did not die, but sleeps,” and they were deriding Him;

25 but when the multitude was put forth, having gone in, He took hold of her hand, and the girl arose,

26 and the fame of this went forth to all the land.

27 And Jesus passing on from there, two blind men followed Him, calling and saying, “Deal kindly with us, Son of David!”

28 And He 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.”

29 Then He touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith let it be to you,”

30 and their eyes were opened, and Jesus strictly charged them, saying, “See, let no one know”;

31 but they, having gone forth, spread His fame in all that land.

32 And as they are coming forth, behold, they brought to Him a man mute, a demoniac,

33 and the demon having been cast out, the mute spoke, and the multitude wondered, saying that “It was never so seen in Israel,”

34 but the Pharisees said, “By the ruler of the demons He casts out the demons.”

35 And Jesus was going up and down all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness among the people.

36 And having seen the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, that they were faint and cast aside, as sheep not having a shepherd;

37 then He says to His disciples, “The harvest indeed [is] abundant, but the workmen few;

38 therefore implore the Lord of the harvest that He may put forth workmen to His harvest.”
