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

Y entrando Jesús en la barca, pasó al otro lado y vino a su ciudad.

2 T hey 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.”

Y sucedió que le traían un paralítico, tendido sobre una camilla; y al ver Jesús la fe de ellos, dijo al paralítico: Ten ánimo, hijo; tus pecados te son perdonados.

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

Entonces algunos de los escribas decían dentro de sí: Éste blasfema.

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

Y conociendo Jesús los pensamientos de ellos, dijo: ¿Por qué estáis cavilando maldades en vuestros corazones?

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

Porque, ¿qué es más fácil, decir: Los pecados te son perdonados, o decir: Levántate y anda?

6 B ut 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.”

Pues para que sepáis que el Hijo del Hombre tiene potestad en la tierra para perdonar pecados (dice entonces al paralítico): Levántate, toma tu camilla, y vete a tu casa.

7 H e got up and went to his home.

Entonces él se levantó y se fue a su casa.

8 A ll 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

Y las gentes, al verlo, se llenaron de asombro y glorificaron a Dios, que había dado tal potestad a los hombres. Llamamiento de Mateo

9 A s 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.

Pasando Jesús de allí, vio a un hombre llamado Mateo, que estaba sentado en la oficina de los tributos públicos, y le dijo: Sígueme. Y se levantó y le siguió.

10 J esus 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.

Y aconteció que estando él sentado a la mesa en la casa, he aquí que muchos publicanos y pecadores, que habían venido, se sentaron a la mesa con Jesús y sus discípulos.

11 T he 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?”

Cuando vieron esto los fariseos, dijeron a los discípulos: ¿Por qué come vuestro Maestro con los publicanos y pecadores?

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

Al oír esto Jesús, les dijo: Los sanos no tienen necesidad de médico, sino los enfermos.

13 B ut 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

Id, pues, y aprended lo que significa: Misericordia quiero, y no sacrificio. Porque no he venido a llamar a justos, sino a pecadores al arrepentimiento. La pregunta sobre el ayuno

14 T hen 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.”

Entonces se le acercaron los discípulos de Juan, diciendo: ¿Por qué nosotros y los fariseos ayunamos muchas veces, y tus discípulos no ayunan?

15 J esus 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.

Jesús les dijo: ¿Acaso pueden los que están de bodas tener luto entretanto que el novio está con ellos? Pero vendrán días cuando el novio les será quitado, y entonces ayunarán.

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

Nadie pone remiendo de paño nuevo en vestido viejo; porque tal remiendo tira del vestido, y el desgarrón se hace mayor.

17 M en 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

Ni echan vino nuevo en odres viejos; de otra manera, los odres se rompen, y el vino se derrama, y los odres se estropean; sino que echan el vino nuevo en odres nuevos, y así ambos se conservan juntamente. La hija de Jairo, y la mujer que tocó el manto del Señor Jesús

18 W hile 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.”

Mientras él les hablaba estas cosas, se le acercó un dirigente de la sinagoga y se postró ante él, diciendo: Mi hija acaba de morir; mas ven y pon tu mano sobre ella, y vivirá.

19 J esus got up and followed him. His followers went also.

Y se levantó Jesús, y le siguió con sus discípulos.

20 J ust 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.

En esto, una mujer enferma de flujo de sangre desde hacía doce años, se le acercó por detrás y tocó el borde de su manto;

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

porque decía dentro de sí: Si tan sólo toco su manto, quedaré sana.

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

Pero Jesús, volviéndose y mirándola, dijo: Ten ánimo, hija; tu fe te ha salvado. Y la mujer quedó curada desde aquella hora.

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

Al entrar Jesús en la casa del dirigente, viendo a los que tocaban flautas, y la gente que hacía alboroto,

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

les dijo: Retiraos, porque la niña no está muerta, sino que duerme. Y se burlaban de él.

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

Pero cuando la gente había sido echada fuera, entró, y tomó de la mano a la niña, y ella se levantó.

26 N ews of this went out into all the country. The Healing of Two Blind Men

Y se difundió esta noticia por toda aquella tierra. Dos ciegos obtienen la vista

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

Pasando Jesús de allí, le siguieron dos ciegos, diciéndole a gritos: ¡Ten compasión de nosotros, Hijo de David!

28 J esus 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!”

Y llegado a la casa, se le acercaron los ciegos; y Jesús les dijo: ¿Creéis que puedo hacer esto? Ellos dijeron: Sí, Señor.

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

Entonces les tocó los ojos, diciendo: Conforme a vuestra fe os sea hecho.

30 T heir eyes were opened. Jesus told them to tell no one.

Y los ojos de ellos fueron abiertos. Y Jesús les encargó rigurosamente, diciendo: Mirad que nadie lo sepa.

31 B ut when they had gone, they told about Him everywhere in the country.

Pero ellos, apenas salieron, divulgaron la fama de él por toda aquella tierra. Un mudo habla

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

Mientras salían ellos, le trajeron un mudo, endemoniado.

33 W hen 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.”

Y una vez echado fuera el demonio, el mudo habló; y las gentes se maravillaron, y decían: Nunca se ha visto cosa semejante en Israel.

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

Pero los fariseos decían: Por el príncipe de los demonios echa fuera los demonios. La mies es mucha

35 J esus 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.

Recorría Jesús todas las ciudades y aldeas, enseñando en las sinagogas de ellos, y predicando el evangelio del reino, y sanando toda enfermedad y toda dolencia en el pueblo.

36 A s 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.

Y al ver las multitudes, se compadeció de ellas; porque estaban extenuadas y abatidas como ovejas que no tienen pastor.

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

Entonces dijo a sus discípulos: A la verdad la mies es mucha, mas los obreros pocos.

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

Rogad, pues, al Señor de la mies, que envíe obreros a su mies.
