1And hee entred into a ship, and passed ouer, and came into his owne citie.Select Matthew 9:1

2And behold, they brought to him a man sicke of the palsie, lying on a bed: and Iesus seeing their faith, said vnto the sicke of the palsie, Sonne, be of good cheere, thy sinnes be forgiuen thee.Select Matthew 9:2

3And behold, certaine of the Scribes said within themselues, This man blasphemeth.Select Matthew 9:3

4And Iesus knowing their thoughts, said, Wherefore thinke yee euill in your hearts?Select Matthew 9:4

5For whether is easier to say, Thy sinnes be forgiuen thee: or to say, Arise, and walke?Select Matthew 9:5

6But that yee may know that the sonne of man hath power on earth to forgiue sinnes, (Then saith hee to the sicke of the palsie) Arise, take vp thy bed, and goe vnto thine house.Select Matthew 9:6

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

8But when the multitudes saw it, they marueiled, & glorified God, which had giuen such power vnto men.Select Matthew 9:8

9And as Iesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man named Matthew, sitting at the receite of custome: and he saith vnto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him.Select Matthew 9:9

10And it came to passe, as Iesus sate at meate in the house, behold, many publicanes and sinners, came and sate downe with him and his Disciples.Select Matthew 9:10

11And when the Pharisees saw it, they said vnto his disciples, Why eateth your master with publicanes & sinners.Select Matthew 9:11

12But when Iesus heard that, hee said vnto them, They that be whole neede not a Physicion, but they that are sicke.Select Matthew 9:12

13But goe ye and learne what that meaneth, I will haue mercy and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.Select Matthew 9:13

14Then came to him the disciples of Iohn, saying, Why doe we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?Select Matthew 9:14

15And Iesus saide vnto them, Can the children of the bride-chamber mourne, as long as the bridegrome is with them? But the dayes will come when the bridegrome shall bee taken from them, and then shall they fast.Select Matthew 9:15

16No man putteth a piece of new cloth vnto an olde garment: for that which is put in to fill it vp, taketh from the garment, & the rent is made worse.Select Matthew 9:16

17Neither doe men put new wine into old bottels: else the bottels breake, and the wine runneth out, and the bottels perish: but they put new wine into new bottels, and both are preserued.Select Matthew 9:17

18While hee spake these things vnto them, beholde, there came a certaine ruler and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is euen now dead: but come, and lay thy hand vpon her, and she shall liue.Select Matthew 9:18

19And Iesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples.Select Matthew 9:19

20(And behold, a woman which was diseased with an issue of blood twelue yeeres, came behinde him, and touched the hemme of his garment.Select Matthew 9:20

21For she said within her selfe, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.Select Matthew 9:21

22But Iesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, bee of good comfort, thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that houre.)Select Matthew 9:22

23And when Iesus came into the rulers house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise,Select Matthew 9:23

24He said vnto them, Giue place, for the mayd is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorne.Select Matthew 9:24

25But when the people were put foorth, he went in, and tooke her by the hand: and the mayd arose.Select Matthew 9:25

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

27And when Iesus departed thence, two blinde men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou sonne of Dauid, haue mercy on vs.Select Matthew 9:27

28And when he was come into the house, the blinde men came to him: and Iesus saith vnto them, Beleeue ye that I am able to doe this? They said vnto him, Yea, Lord.Select Matthew 9:28

29Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith, bee it vnto you.Select Matthew 9:29

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

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

32As they went out, beholde, they brought to him a dumbe man possessed with a deuill.Select Matthew 9:32

33And when the deuil was cast out, the dumbe spake, and the multitudes marueiled, saying, It was neuer so seene in Israel.Select Matthew 9:33

34But the Pharisees said, He casteth out the deuils through the prince of the deuils.Select Matthew 9:34

35And Iesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their Synagogues, and preaching the Gospel of the kingdome, and healing euery sickenesse, and euery disease among the people.Select Matthew 9:35

36But when he saw the multitudes, he was moued with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheepe hauing no shepheard.Select Matthew 9:36

37Then saith he vnto his disciples, The haruest truely is plenteous, but the labourers are few.Select Matthew 9:37

38Pray ye therefore the Lord of the haruest, that hee will send foorth labourers into his haruest.Select Matthew 9:38
