1 J ésus, étant monté dans une barque, traversa la mer, et alla dans sa ville.

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

2 E t voici, on lui amena un paralytique couché sur un lit. Jésus, voyant leur foi, dit au paralytique: Prends courage, mon enfant, tes péchés te sont pardonnés.

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 S ur quoi, quelques scribes dirent au dedans d'eux: Cet homme blasphème.

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

4 E t Jésus, connaissant leurs pensées, dit: Pourquoi avez-vous de mauvaises pensées dans vos coeurs?

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

5 C ar, lequel est le plus aisé, de dire: Tes péchés sont pardonnés, ou de dire: Lève-toi, et marche?

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

6 O r, afin que vous sachiez que le Fils de l'homme a sur la terre le pouvoir de pardonner les péchés: Lève-toi, dit-il au paralytique, prends ton lit, et va dans ta maison.

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 t il se leva, et s'en alla dans sa maison.

He got up and went to his home.

8 Q uand la foule vit cela, elle fut saisie de crainte, et elle glorifia Dieu, qui a donné aux hommes un tel pouvoir.

9 D e là étant allé plus loin, Jésus vit un homme assis au lieu des péages, et qui s'appelait Matthieu. Il lui dit: Suis-moi. Cet homme se leva, et le suivit.

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 C omme Jésus était à table dans la maison, voici, beaucoup de publicains et de gens de mauvaise vie vinrent se mettre à table avec lui et avec ses disciples.

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 L es pharisiens virent cela, et ils dirent à ses disciples: Pourquoi votre maître mange-t-il avec les publicains et les gens de mauvaise vie?

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 C e que Jésus ayant entendu, il dit: Ce ne sont pas ceux qui se portent bien qui ont besoin de médecin, mais les malades.

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

13 A llez, et apprenez ce que signifie: Je prends plaisir à la miséricorde, et non aux sacrifices. Car je ne suis pas venu appeler des justes, mais des pécheurs.

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 A lors les disciples de Jean vinrent auprès de Jésus, et dirent: Pourquoi nous et les pharisiens jeûnons-nous, tandis que tes disciples ne jeûnent point?

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 J ésus leur répondit: Les amis de l'époux peuvent-ils s'affliger pendant que l'époux est avec eux? Les jours viendront où l'époux leur sera enlevé, et alors ils jeûneront.

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 P ersonne ne met une pièce de drap neuf à un vieil habit; car elle emporterait une partie de l'habit, et la déchirure serait pire.

“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 O n ne met pas non plus du vin nouveau dans de vieilles outres; autrement, les outres se rompent, le vin se répand, et les outres sont perdues; mais on met le vin nouveau dans des outres neuves, et le vin et les outres se conservent.

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 T andis qu'il leur adressait ces paroles, voici, un chef arriva, se prosterna devant lui, et dit: Ma fille est morte il y a un instant; mais viens, impose-lui les mains, et elle vivra.

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 J ésus se leva, et le suivit avec ses disciples.

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

20 E t voici, une femme atteinte d'une perte de sang depuis douze ans s'approcha par derrière, et toucha le bord de son vêtement.

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 C ar elle disait en elle-même: Si je puis seulement toucher son vêtement, je serai guérie.

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

22 J ésus se retourna, et dit, en la voyant: Prends courage, ma fille, ta foi t'a guérie. Et cette femme fut guérie à l'heure même.

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

23 L orsque Jésus fut arrivé à la maison du chef, et qu'il vit les joueurs de flûte et la foule bruyante,

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

24 i l leur dit: Retirez-vous; car la jeune fille n'est pas morte, mais elle dort. Et ils se moquaient de lui.

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

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

26 L e bruit s'en répandit dans toute la contrée.

27 É tant parti de là, Jésus fut suivi par deux aveugles, qui criaient: Aie pitié de nous, Fils de David!

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

28 L orsqu'il fut arrivé à la maison, les aveugles s'approchèrent de lui, et Jésus leur dit: Croyez-vous que je puisse faire cela? Oui, Seigneur, lui répondirent-ils.

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 A lors il leur toucha leurs yeux, en disant: Qu'il vous soit fait selon votre foi.

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

30 E t leurs yeux s'ouvrirent. Jésus leur fit cette recommandation sévère: Prenez garde que personne ne le sache.

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

31 M ais, dès qu'ils furent sortis, ils répandirent sa renommée dans tout le pays.

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

32 C omme ils s'en allaient, voici, on amena à Jésus un démoniaque muet.

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

33 L e démon ayant été chassé, le muet parla. Et la foule étonnée disait: Jamais pareille chose ne s'est vue en Israël.

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 M ais les pharisiens dirent: C'est par le prince des démons qu'il chasse les démons.

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

35 J ésus parcourait toutes les villes et les villages, enseignant dans les synagogues, prêchant la bonne nouvelle du royaume, et guérissant toute maladie et toute infirmité.

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 oyant la foule, il fut ému de compassion pour elle, parce qu'elle était languissante et abattue, comme des brebis qui n'ont point de berger.

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 A lors il dit à ses disciples: La moisson est grande, mais il y a peu d'ouvriers.

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

38 P riez donc le maître de la moisson d'envoyer des ouvriers dans sa moisson.

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