9:1And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into his own city.

9:2And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.

9:3And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth.

9:4And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?

9:5For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk?

9:6But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.

9:7And he arose, and departed to his house.

9:8But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men.

9:9And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.

9:10And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.

9:11And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?

9:12But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.

9:13But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

9:14Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?

9:15And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast.

9:16No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse.

9:17Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.

9:18While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.

9:19And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples.

9:20And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment:

9:21For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.

9:22But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.

9:23And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise,

9:24He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.

9:25But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose.

9:26And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.

9:27And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us.

9:28And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord.

9:29Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.

9:30And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it.

9:31But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country.

9:32As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil.

9:33And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.

9:34But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils.

9:35And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.

9:36But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.

9:37Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;

9:38Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.

12:1At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat.

12:2But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.

12:3But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him;

12:4How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests?

12:5Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?

12:6But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple.

12:7But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.

12:8For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.

12:9And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue:

12:10And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him.

12:11And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?

12:12How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.

12:13Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other.

12:14Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.

12:15But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;

12:16And charged them that they should not make him known:

12:17That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,

12:18Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles.

12:19He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.

12:20A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.

12:21And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.

12:22Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw.

12:23And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?

12:24But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.

12:25And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:

12:26And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?

12:27And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.

12:28But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.

12:29Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.

12:30He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.

12:31Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.

12:32And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

12:33Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.

12:34O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

12:35A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.

12:36But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

12:37For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

12:38Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.

12:39But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:

12:40For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

12:41The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.

12:42The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.

12:43When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.

12:44Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.

12:45Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.

12:46While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.

12:47Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.

12:48But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?

12:49And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!

12:50For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
