2 A nd, behold, they brought him a paralyzed man, lying on a bed; and Jesus, seeing their faith, said unto the paralyzed man, Trust, son; thy sins are forgiven thee.

and lo, they were bringing to him a paralytic, laid upon a couch, and Jesus having seen their faith, said to the paralytic, `Be of good courage, child, thy sins have been forgiven thee.'

3 A nd, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemes.

And lo, certain of the scribes said within themselves, `This one doth speak evil.'

4 A nd Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Why think ye evil in your hearts?

And Jesus, having known their thoughts, said, `Why think ye evil in your hearts?

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

for which is easier? to say, The sins have been forgiven to thee; or to say, Rise, and walk?

6 B ut that ye may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins (then said he to the paralyzed man), Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.

`But, that ye may know that the Son of Man hath power upon the earth to forgive sins -- (then saith he to the paralytic) -- having risen, take up thy couch, and go to thy house.'

7 T hen he arose and departed to his house.

11 A nd when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why does your Master eat with publicans and sinners?

and the Pharisees having seen, said to his disciples, `Wherefore with the tax-gatherers and sinners doth your teacher eat?'

12 B ut when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, Those that are whole need not a physician, but those that are sick.

And Jesus having heard, said to them, `They who are whole have no need of a physician, but they who are ill;

13 T herefore go ye and learn what this is, I will have mercy and not sacrifice, for I am not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.

but having gone, learn ye what is, Kindness I will, and not sacrifice, for I did not come to call righteous men, but sinners, to reformation.'

17 N either do they put new wine into old wineskins, otherwise the wineskins break, and the wine runs out, and the wineskins perish; but they put new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved together.

`Nor do they put new wine into old skins, and if not -- the skins burst, and the wine doth run out, and the skins are destroyed, but they put new wine into new skins, and both are preserved together.'

18 ¶ While he spoke these things unto them, behold, a certain ruler came and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead; but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.

While he is speaking these things to them, lo, a ruler having come, was bowing to him, saying that `My daughter just now died, but, having come, lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.'

25 B ut when the people were put forth, he went in and took her by the hand, and the maid arose.

but, when the multitude was put forth, having gone in, he took hold of her hand, and the damsel arose,

26 A nd the fame of this went abroad into all that land.

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

27 ¶ And when Jesus departed from there, two blind men followed him, crying out and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us.

And Jesus passing on thence, two blind men followed him, calling and saying, `Deal kindly with us, Son of David.'

28 A nd when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him; and Jesus said unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yes, Lord.

31 B ut they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country.

but they, having gone forth, did spread his fame in all that land.

32 A nd as they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a demon.

And as they are coming forth, lo, they brought to him a man dumb, a demoniac,

33 A nd when the demon was cast out, the dumb man spoke; and the multitude marvelled, saying, Such a thing has never been seen in Israel.

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 T hen he said unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;

then saith he to his disciples, `The harvest indeed abundant, but the workmen few;

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

beseech ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he may put forth workmen to His harvest.'
