, and, behold, they brought to him
= 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.
, And, behold, certain of the scribes
said within themselves, This man
blasphemeth.
4 and Jesus knowing their thoughts
said, Wherefore thinh ye evil in your
hearts?
) For whether is easier, to say, Thy
sins be forgiven lhce; or 10 say, Arise,
and walk?
6 But that ye may know that the
Son Of man hath power on earth to
forgive sins, Chen saith nc TO the sick
of the palsyO Arise, take up thy bed,
and go unto thine house.
: And he arose, and departed to
his house.
8 But when the multitUdes saw it,,
they marvehed, and glorified God,
which had given such power unto men.
9 And as Jesus passed forth from
thence, ne saw man, named Mat
thew, sitting at the receipt of custom:
and ne saith unto him, Follow me. And
he arose, and followed him.
10 And 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.
II And when the Pharisees saw it,
they said unto his disciples, Why eat
eth your Master with publicans and
sinners?
- But when Jesus heard that, he
said unto them, They that he whole
need not a physician, but they that
are sick.
- But go ye and learn what that
meaneth, | viii have mercy, and not
sacrifice: FOR / am not come to call
the righteous, but sinners TO repent
ancc.
Il Then came TO him the disciples
of John, saying, Why do we and jhc
rharisees fast Of, bat thy disciples
fast not?
Is And Jesus said anto them, Can
The children OF the bride-chamber
mourn, as as long rs the bridegroom
is with them? but the days will come,
when the bridegroom shall be taken
from them, and then shall they fast.
Is No man puttcth 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.
Il Neither do men pat new wine
into cid 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 pre-
served.
IS While he spaLe these things unto
them, behold, there came Il certain
ruler, and worshipped him, saying,
My daughter is even now dead: but
come and lay thy hand upon her, and
she shall live.
10 And Jesus arose, and followed
hin, and 50 did his disciples.
20 And, behold, a woman, which
was diseased with an issue of blood
twelve years, came behind him, and
touched the hem OF his garment:
u For she said within herself, II |
may but touch his garment, shall be
whole
% But Jesus turned him about, and
when he saw her, ne said, Daughter,
be of coed comfort; thy faith hath
made thee whole. And the woman was
made whole from thai hour.
% And when Jesus came into the
rulers house, and saw the MINISTRIES
and the people making a noise,
p lie said unto them, Give place:
for the maid is net dead, but slecpeth.
And ;hey laughed him to scorn.
25 But when the people were put
forth, he went IN, and took her by
the hand, and the maid arose.
26 And The fame hereof went
abroad into all that land.
y And when Jesus departed thence,
two blind men followed him, crying,
and saying, Thou son of David, have
mercy on us.
IS And when he was come unto the
house, the blind men came to him
and Jesus satin unto them, Believe ye
that an able to do this? They said
unto him, lea, Lord
29 Then touched he their eyes, say
ing. According to your faith be it unto
you.
20 And their eyes were opened; and
Jesus straitly charged them, saying
Sec that 40 man know it.
81 But they, when they were de-
