Matthäus 9

1And entering into a boat, he passed over the water and came into his own city.

2And behold they brought to him one sick of the palsy lying in a bed. And Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the man sick of the palsy: Be of good heart, son, thy sins are forgiven thee.

3And behold some of the scribes said within themselves: He blasphemeth.

4And Jesus seeing their thoughts, said: Why do you think evil in your hearts?

5Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee: or to say, Arise, and walk?

6But that you may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then said he to the man sick of palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go into thy house.

7And he arose, and went into his house.

8And the multitude seeing it, feared, and glorified God that gave such power to men.

9And when Jesus passed on from hence, he saw a man sitting in the custom house, named Matthew; and he saith to him: Follow me. And he rose up and followed him.

10And it came to pass as he was sitting at meat in the house, behold many publicans and sinners came, and sat down with Jesus and his disciples.

11And the Pharisees seeing it, said to his disciples: Why doth your master eat with publicans and sinners?

12But Jesus hearing it, said: They that are in health need not a physician, but they that are ill.

13Go then and learn what this meaneth, I will have mercy and not sacrifice. For I am not come to call the just, but sinners.

14Then came to him the disciples of John, saying: Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but thy disciples do not fast?

15And Jesus said to them: Can the children of the bridegroom mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then they shall fast.

16And nobody putteth a piece of raw cloth unto an old garment. For it taketh away the fullness thereof from the garment, and there is made a greater rent.

17Neither do they put new wine into old bottles. Otherwise the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish. But new wine they put into new bottles: and both are preserved.

18And he was speaking these things unto them, behold a certain ruler came up, and adored him, saying: Lord, my daughter is even now dead; but come, lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.

19And Jesus rising up followed him, with his disciples.

20And behold a woman who was troubled with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment.

21For she said within herself: If I shall touch only his garment, I shall be healed.

22But Jesus turning and seeing her, said: Be of good heart, daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.

23And when Jesus was come into the house of the ruler, and saw the minstrels and the multitude making a rout,

24He said: Give place, for the girl is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.

25And when the multitude was put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand. And the maid arose.

26And the fame hereof went abroad into all that country.

27And as Jesus passed from thence, there followed him two blind men crying out and saying, Have mercy on us, O Son of David.

28And when he was come to the house, the blind men came to him. And Jesus saith to them, Do you believe, that I can do this unto you? They say to him, Yea, Lord.

29Then he touched their eyes, saying, According to your faith, be it done unto you.

30And their eyes were opened, and Jesus strictly charged them, saying, See that no man know this.

31But they going out, spread his fame abroad in all that country.

32And when they were gone out, behold they brought him a dumb man, possessed with a devil.

33And after the devil was cast out, the dumb man spoke, and the multitudes wondered, saying, Never was the like seen in Israel.

34But the Pharisees said, By the prince of devils he casteth out devils.

35And Jesus went about all the cities, and towns, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease, and every infirmity.

36And seeing the multitudes, he had compassion on them: because they were distressed, and lying like sheep that have no shepherd.

37Then he saith to his disciples, The harvest indeed is great, but the labourers are few.

38Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth labourers into his harvest.

1Et ascendens in naviculam, transfretavit, et venit in civitatem suam.

2Et ecce offerebant ei paralyticum jacentem in lecto. Et videns Jesus fidem illorum, dixit paralytico: Confide fili, remittuntur tibi peccata tua.

3Et ecce quidam de scribis dixerunt intra se: Hic blasphemat.

4Et cum vidisset Jesus cogitationes eorum, dixit: Ut quid cogitatis mala in cordibus vestris?

5Quid est facilius dicere: Dimittuntur tibi peccata tua: an dicere: Surge, et ambula?

6Ut autem sciatis, quia Filius hominis habet potestatem in terra dimittendi peccata, tunc ait paralytico: Surge, tolle lectum tuum, et vade in domum tuam.

7Et surrexit, et abiit in domum suam.

8Videntes autem turbæ timuerunt, et glorificaverunt Deum, qui dedit potestatem talem hominibus.

9Et, cum transiret inde Jesus, vidit hominem sedentem in telonio, Matthæum nomine. Et ait illi: Sequere me. Et surgens, secutus est eum.

10Et factum est, discumbente eo in domo, ecce multi publicani et peccatores venientes, discumbebant cum Jesu, et discipulis ejus.

11Et videntes pharisæi, dicebant discipulis ejus: Quare cum publicanis et peccatoribus manducat magister vester?

12At Jesus audiens, ait: Non est opus valentibus medicus, sed male habentibus.

13Euntes autem discite quid est: Misericordiam volo, et non sacrificium. Non enim veni vocare justos, sed peccatores.

14Tunc accesserunt ad eum discipuli Joannis, dicentes: Quare nos, et pharisæi, jejunamus frequenter: discipuli autem tui non jejunant?

15Et ait illis Jesus: Numquid possunt filii sponsi lugere, quamdiu cum illis est sponsus? Venient autem dies cum auferetur ab eis sponsus: et tunc jejunabunt.

16Nemo autem immittit commissuram panni rudis in vestimentum vetus: tollit enim plenitudinem ejus a vestimento, et pejor scissura fit.

17Neque mittunt vinum novum in utres veteres: alioquin rumpuntur utres, et vinum effunditur, et utres pereunt. Sed vinum novum in utres novos mittunt: et ambo conservantur.

18Hæc illo loquente ad eos, ecce princeps unus accessit, et adorabat eum, dicens: Domine, filia mea modo defuncta est: sed veni, impone manum tuam super eam, et vivet.

19Et surgens Jesus, sequebatur eum, et discipuli ejus.

20Et ecce mulier, quæ sanguinis fluxum patiebatur duodecim annis, accessit retro, et tetigit fimbriam vestimenti ejus.

21Dicebat enim intra se: Si tetigero tantum vestimentum ejus, salva ero.

22At Jesus conversus, et videns eam, dixit: Confide, filia, fides tua te salvam fecit. Et salva facta est mulier ex illa hora.

23Et cum venisset Jesus in domum principis, et vidisset tibicines et turbam tumultuantem, dicebat:

24Recedite: non est enim mortua puella, sed dormit. Et deridebant eum.

25Et cum ejecta esset turba, intravit: et tenuit manum ejus, et surrexit puella.

26Et exiit fama hæc in universam terram illam.

27Et transeunte inde Jesu, secuti sunt eum duo cæci, clamantes, et dicentes: Miserere nostri, fili David.

28Cum autem venisset domum, accesserunt ad eum cæci. Et dicit eis Jesus: Creditis quia hoc possum facere vobis? Dicunt ei: Utique, Domine.

29Tunc tetigit oculos eorum, dicens: Secundum fidem vestram, fiat vobis.

30Et aperti sunt oculi eorum: et comminatus est illis Jesus, dicens: Videte ne quis sciat.

31Illi autem exeuntes, diffamaverunt eum in tota terra illa.

32Egressis autem illis, ecce obtulerunt ei hominem mutum, dæmonium habentem.

33Et ejecto dæmonio, locutus est mutus, et miratæ sunt turbæ, dicentes: Numquam apparuit sic in Israël.

34Pharisæi autem dicebant: In principe dæmoniorum ejicit dæmones.

35Et circuibat Jesus omnes civitates, et castella, docens in synagogis eorum, et prædicans Evangelium regni, et curans omnem languorem, et omnem infirmitatem.

36Videns autem turbas, misertus est eis: quia erant vexati, et jacentes sicut oves non habentes pastorem.

37Tunc dicit discipulis suis: Messis quidem multa, operarii autem pauci.

38Rogate ergo Dominum messis, ut mittat operarios in messem suam.

1And climbing into a boat, he crossed the sea, and he arrived at his own city.

2And behold, they brought to him a paralytic, lying on a bed. And Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, “Be strengthened in faith, son; your sins are forgiven you.”

3And behold, some of the scribes said within themselves, “He is blaspheming.”

4And when Jesus had perceived their thoughts, he said: “Why do you think such evil in your hearts?

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

6But, so that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins,” he then said to the paralytic, “Rise up, take up your bed, and go into your house.”

7And he arose and went into his house.

8Then the crowd, seeing this, was frightened, and they glorified God, who gave such power to men.

9And when Jesus passed on from there, he saw, sitting at the tax office, a man named Matthew. And he said to him, “Follow me.” And rising up, he followed him.

10And it happened that, as he was sitting down to eat in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners arrived, and they sat down to eat with Jesus and his disciples.

11And the Pharisees, seeing this, said to his disciples, “Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

12But Jesus, hearing this, said: “It is not those who are healthy who are in need of a physician, but those who have maladies.

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

14Then the disciples of John drew near to him, saying, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast frequently, but your disciples do not fast?”

15And Jesus said to them: “How can the sons of the groom mourn, while the groom is still with them? But the days will arrive when the groom will be taken away from them. And then they shall fast.

16For no one would sew a patch of new cloth onto an old garment. For it pulls its fullness away from the garment, and the tear is made worse.

17Neither do they pour new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wineskins rupture, and the wine pours out, and the wineskins are destroyed. Instead, they pour new wine into new wineskins. And so, both are preserved.”

18As he was speaking these things to them, behold, a certain ruler approached and adored him, saying: “Lord, my daughter has recently passed away. But come and impose your hand upon her, and she will live.”

19And Jesus, rising up, followed him, with his disciples.

20And behold, a woman, who had suffered from a flow of blood for twelve years, approached from behind and touched the hem of his garment.

21For she said within herself, “If I will touch even his garment, I shall be saved.”

22But Jesus, turning and seeing her, said: “Be strengthened in faith, daughter; your faith has made you well.” And the woman was made well from that hour.

23And when Jesus had arrived in the house of the ruler, and he had seen the musicians and the tumultuous crowd,

24he said, “Depart. For the girl is not dead, but asleep.” And they derided him.

25And when the crowd had been sent away, he entered. And he took her by the hand. And the girl rose up.

26And the news of this went out to that entire land.

27And as Jesus passed from there, two blind men followed him, crying out and saying, “Take pity on us, Son of David.”

28And when he had arrived at the house, the blind men approached him. And Jesus said to them, “Do you trust that I am able to do this for you?” They say to him, “Certainly, Lord.”

29Then he touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith, so let it be done for you.”

30And their eyes were opened. And Jesus warned them, saying, “See to it that no one knows of this.”

31But going out, they spread the news of it to all that land.

32Then, when they had departed, behold, they brought him a man who was mute, having a demon.

33And after the demon was cast out, the mute man spoke. And the crowds wondered, saying, “Never has anything like this been seen in Israel.”

34But the Pharisees said, “By the prince of demons does he cast out demons.”

35And Jesus traveled throughout all of the cities and towns, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the Gospel of the kingdom, and healing every illness and every infirmity.

36Then, seeing the multitudes, he had compassion on them, because they were distressed and were reclining, like sheep without a shepherd.

37Then he said to his disciples: “The harvest indeed is great, but the laborers are few.

38Therefore, petition the Lord of the harvest, so that he may sent out laborers to his harvest.”
