1Getting<1684> into a boat<4143>, Jesus crossed<1276> over<1276> the sea and came<2064> to His own<2398> city<4172>.
2And they brought<4374> to Him a paralytic<3885> lying<906> on a bed<2825>. Seeing<3708> their faith<4102>, Jesus<2424> said<3004> to the paralytic<3885>,
3And some<5100> of the scribes<1122> said<3004> to themselves<1438>, "This<3778> fellow blasphemes<987>."
4And Jesus<2424> knowing<3609> their thoughts<1761> said<3004>,
5
6
7And he got<1453> up and went<565> home<3624>.
8But when the crowds<3793> saw<3708> this, they were awestruck<5399>, and glorified<1392> God<2316>, who had given<1325> such<5108> authority<1849> to men<444>.
9As Jesus<2424> went<3855> on from there<1564>, He saw<3708> a man<444> called<3004> Matthew<3102>, sitting<2521> in the tax<5058> collector's<5058> booth<5058>; and He *said<3004> to him,
10Then<2532> it happened<1096> that as Jesus<2424> was reclining<345> at the table in the house<3614>, behold<2400>, many<4183> tax<5057> collectors<5057> and sinners<268> came<2064> and were dining<4873> with Jesus<2424> and His disciples<3101>.
11When the Pharisees<5330> saw<3708> this, they said<3004> to His disciples<3101>, "Why<1223><5101> is your Teacher<1320> eating<2068> with the tax<5057> collectors<5057> and sinners<268>?"
12But when Jesus heard<191> this, He said<3004>,
13
14Then<5119> the disciples<3101> of John<2491> *came<4334> to Him, asking<3004>, "Why<1223><5101> do we and the Pharisees<5330> fast<3522>, but Your disciples<3101> do not fast<3522>?"
15And Jesus<2424> said<3004> to them,
16
17
18While He was saying<2980> these<3778> things<3778> to them, a synagogue official<758> came<4334> and bowed<4352> down<4352> before<4352> Him, and said<3004>, "My daughter<2364> has just<737> died<5053>; but come<2064> and lay<2007> Your hand<5495> on her, and she will live<2198>."
19Jesus<2424> got<1453> up and began to follow<190> him, and so did His disciples<3101>.
20And a woman<1135> who had been suffering<131> from a hemorrhage<131> for twelve<1427> years<2094>, came<4334> up behind<3693> Him and touched<681> the fringe<2899> of His cloak<2440>;
21for she was saying<3004> to herself<1438>, "If<1437> I only<3440> touch<681> His garment<2440>, I will get<4982> well<4982>."
22But Jesus<2424> turning<4762> and seeing<3708> her said<3004>,
23When Jesus<2424> came<2064> into the official's<758> house<3614>, and saw<3708> the flute-players<834> and the crowd<3793> in noisy<2350> disorder<2350>,
24He said<3004>,
25But when<3753> the crowd<3793> had been sent<1544> out, He entered<1525> and took<2902> her by the hand<5495>, and the girl<2877> got<1453> up.
26This<3778> news<5345> spread<1831> throughout<1519> all<3650> that land<1093>.
27As Jesus<2424> went<3855> on from there<1564>, two<1417> blind<5185> men<5185> followed<190> Him, crying<2896> out, "Have<1653> mercy<1653> on us, Son<5207> of David<1160>!"
28When<1161> He entered<2064> the house<3614>, the blind<5185> men<5185> came<4334> up to Him, and Jesus<2424> *said<3004> to them,
29Then<5119> He touched<681> their eyes<3788>, saying<3004>,
30And their eyes<3788> were opened<455>. And Jesus<2424> sternly<1690> warned<1690> them:
31But they went<1831> out and spread<1310> the news<1310> about Him throughout<1722> all<3650> that land<1093>.
32As they were going<1831> out, a mute<2974>, demon-possessed<1139> man<444> was brought<4374> to Him.
33After the demon<1140> was cast<1544> out, the mute<2974> man<2974> spoke<2980>; and the crowds<3793> were amazed<2296>, and were saying<3004>, "Nothing<3763> like<3779> this<3779> has ever<3763> been seen<5316> in Israel<2474>."
34But the Pharisees<5330> were saying<3004>, "He casts<1544> out the demons<1140> by the ruler<758> of the demons<1140>."
35Jesus<2424> was going<4013> through<4013> all<3956> the cities<4172> and villages<2968>, teaching<1321> in their synagogues<4864> and proclaiming<2784> the gospel<2098> of the kingdom<932>, and healing<2323> every<3956> kind<3956> of disease<3554> and every<3956> kind<3956> of sickness<3119>.
36Seeing<3708> the people<3793>, He felt<4697> compassion<4697> for them, because<3754> they were distressed<4660> and dispirited<4496> like<5616> sheep<4263> without<3361><2192> a shepherd<4166>.
37Then<5119> He *said<3004> to His disciples<3101>,
