1 E entrando Jesus num barco, passou para o outro lado, e chegou ã sua própria cidade.

Jesus got into a boat. He crossed over to the other side and came into His own city.

2 E eis que lhe trouxeram um paralítico deitado num leito. Jesus, pois, vendo-lhes a fé, disse ao paralítico: Tem ânimo, filho; perdoados são os teus pecados.

They took a man to Him who was on his bed. This man was not able to move his body. Jesus saw their faith. He said, “Son, take hope. Your sins are forgiven.”

3 E alguns dos escribas disseram consigo: Este homem blasfema.

Some of the teachers of the Law said to themselves, “This man speaks as if He is God, but He is not!”

4 M as Jesus, conhecendo-lhes os pensamentos, disse: Por que pensais o mal em vossos corações?

Jesus knew what they were thinking. He said, “Why do you think bad thoughts in your hearts?

5 P ois qual é mais fácil? dizer: Perdoados são os teus pecados, ou dizer: Levanta-te e anda?

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

6 O ra, para que saibais que o Filho do homem tem sobre a terra autoridade para perdoar pecados (disse então ao paralítico): Levanta- te, toma o teu leito, e vai para tua casa.

But this is to show you that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins.” He said to the sick man, “Get up! Take your bed and go home.”

7 E este, levantando-se, foi para sua casa.

He got up and went to his home.

8 E as multidões, vendo isso, temeram, e glorificaram a Deus, que dera tal autoridade aos homens.

All the people saw this. They were surprised and wondered about it. Then they gave thanks to God because He had given such power to men. Jesus Calls Matthew

9 P artindo Jesus dali, viu sentado na coletoria um homem chamado Mateus, e disse-lhe: Segue-me. E ele, levantando-se, o seguiu.

As Jesus went from there, He saw a man called Matthew. Matthew was sitting at his work gathering taxes. Jesus said to him, “Follow Me.” Matthew got up and followed Jesus.

10 O ra, estando ele ã mesa em casa, eis que chegaram muitos publicanos e pecadores, e se reclinaram ã mesa juntamente com Jesus e seus discípulos.

Jesus ate in Matthew’s house. Many men who gathered taxes and many who were sinners came to Matthew’s house and sat down with Jesus and His followers.

11 E os fariseus, vendo isso, perguntavam aos discípulos: Por que come o vosso Mestre com publicanos e pecadores?

The proud religious law-keepers saw this. They said to the followers of Jesus, “Why does your Teacher eat with men who gather taxes and with sinners?”

12 J esus, porém, ouvindo isso, respondeu: Não necessitam de médico os sãos, mas sim os enfermos.

Jesus heard them and said, “People who are well do not need a doctor.

13 I de, pois, e aprendei o que significa: Misericórdia quero, e não sacrifícios. Porque eu não vim chamar justos, mas pecadores.

But go and understand these words, ‘I want loving-kindness and not a gift to be given.’ For I have not come to call good people. I have come to call those who are sinners.” Jesus Teaches about Going without Food So You Can Pray Better

14 E ntão vieram ter com ele os discípulos de João, perguntando: Por que é que nós e os fariseus jejuamos, mas os teus discípulos não jejuam?

Then the followers of John the Baptist came to Jesus. They asked, “Why do we and the proud religious law-keepers many times go without food so we can pray better? But Your followers never go without food so they can pray better.”

15 R espondeu-lhes Jesus: Podem porventura ficar tristes os convidados

Jesus said, “Can the friends at a wedding be sorry when the man just married is with them? But the days will come when the man just married will be taken from them. Then they will not eat food so they can pray better.

16 N inguém põe remendo de pano novo em vestido velho; porque semelhante remendo tira parte do vestido, e faz-se maior a rotura.

“No one sews a piece of new cloth on an old coat, because if the new piece pulls away, it makes the hole bigger.

17 N em se deita vinho novo em odres velhos; do contrário se rebentam, derrama-se o vinho, e os odres se perdem; mas deita-se vinho novo em odres novos, e assim ambos se conservam.

Men do not put new wine into old skin bags. If they did, the skins would break and the wine would run out. The bags would be no good. They put new wine into new skin bags and both can be used.” Two Healed Through Faith

18 E nquanto ainda lhes dizia essas coisas, eis que chegou um chefe da sinagoga e o adorou, dizendo: Minha filha acaba de falecer; mas vem, impõe-lhe a tua mão, e ela viverá.

While Jesus talked to them, a leader of the people came and got down before Him, and worshiped Him. He said, “My daughter has just died. But come, lay Your hand on her and she will live.”

19 L evantou-se, pois, Jesus, e o foi seguindo, ele e os seus discípulos.

Jesus got up and followed him. His followers went also.

20 E eis que certa mulher, que havia doze anos padecia de uma hemorragia, chegou por detrás dele e tocou-lhe a orla do manto;

Just then a woman who had been sick with a flow of blood for twelve years came from behind. She touched the bottom of His coat.

21 p orque dizia consigo: Se eu tão-somente tocar-lhe o manto, ficarei sã.

She said to herself, “If I only touch the bottom of His coat, I will be healed.”

22 M as Jesus, voltando-se e vendo-a, disse: Tem ânimo, filha, a tua fé te salvou. E desde aquela hora a mulher ficou sã.

Then Jesus turned around. He saw her and said, “Daughter, take hope! Your faith has healed you.” At once the woman was healed.

23 Q uando Jesus chegou ã casa daquele chefe, e viu os tocadores de flauta e a multidão em alvoroço,

Jesus came into the leader’s house. He saw the people playing music and making much noise.

24 d isse; Retirai-vos; porque a menina não está morta, mas dorme. E riam-se dele.

He said to them, “Go now! For the girl is not dead, but is sleeping.” But they laughed at Him.

25 T endo-se feito sair o povo, entrou Jesus, tomou a menina pela mão, e ela se levantou.

He sent the people outside. Then He went in and took the girl’s hand. She was raised up.

26 E espalhou-se a notícia disso por toda aquela terra.

News of this went out into all the country. The Healing of Two Blind Men

27 P artindo Jesus dali, seguiram-no dois cegos, que clamavam, dizendo: Tem compaixão de nós, Filho de Davi.

Jesus went on from there. Two blind men followed Him. They called out, “Take pity on us, Son of David.”

28 E , tendo ele entrado em casa, os cegos se aproximaram dele; e Jesus perguntou-lhes: Credes que eu posso fazer isto? Responderam- lhe eles: Sim, Senhor.

Jesus went into the house. The blind men came to Him. Then Jesus said to them, “Do you have faith that I can do this?” They said to Him, “Yes, Sir!”

29 E ntão lhes tocou os olhos, dizendo: Seja-vos feito segundo a vossa fé.

Then Jesus put His hands on their eyes and said, “You will have what you want because you have faith.”

30 E os olhos se lhes abriram. Jesus ordenou-lhes terminantemente, dizendo: Vede que ninguém o saiba.

Their eyes were opened. Jesus told them to tell no one.

31 E les, porém, saíram, e divulgaram a sua fama por toda aquela terra.

But when they had gone, they told about Him everywhere in the country.

32 E nquanto esses se retiravam, eis que lhe trouxeram um homem mudo e endemoninhado.

As they went on their way, a man who had a demon and could not talk was brought to Jesus.

33 E , expulso o demônio, falou o mudo e as multidões se admiraram, dizendo: Nunca tal se viu em Israel.

When the demon was put out of him, the man was able to talk. Many people were surprised and wondered about it. They said, “We have never seen in the nation of the Jews like this.”

34 O s fariseus, porém, diziam: É pelo príncipe dos demônios que ele expulsa os demônios.

But the proud religious law-keepers said, “He puts out demons by the help of the leader of the demons.”

35 E percorria Jesus todas as cidades e aldeias, ensinando nas sinagogas, pregando o evangelho do reino, e curando toda sorte de doenças e enfermidades.

Jesus went on to all the towns and cities. He taught in their places of worship. He preached the Good News of the holy nation of God. He healed every sickness and disease the people had.

36 V endo ele as multidões, compadeceu-se delas, porque andavam desgarradas e errantes, como ovelhas que não têm pastor.

As He saw many people, He had loving-pity on them. They were troubled and were walking around everywhere. They were like sheep without a shepherd.

37 E ntão disse a seus discípulos: Na verdade, a seara é grande, mas os trabalhadores são poucos.

Then He said to His followers, “There is much grain ready to gather. But the workmen are few.

38 R ogai, pois, ao Senhor da seara que mande trabalhadores para a sua seara.

Pray then to the Lord Who is the Owner of the grain fields that He will send workmen to gather His grain.”
