ABP - Matthew - 9

9:1  And stepping into the boat, he passed through, and came unto his own city.

9:2  And behold, they brought to him a paralytic [2upon 3a bed 1lying]. And Jesus beholding their belief, said to the paralytic, Courage child! [3have been forgiven 4you 2sins 1your]!

9:3  And behold, some of the scribes said to themselves, This one blasphemes.

9:4  And Jesus knowing their thinking, said, Why do you ponder wicked things in your hearts?

9:5  For what is easier, to say, [3have been forgiven 4you 1The 2sins]; or to say, Arise and walk!

9:6  But so that you should know that [5authority 4has 1the 2son 3of man] over the earth to forgive sins -- then he says to the paralytic, Having arisen, lift up your bed, and go unto your house!

9:7  And having arisen, he went forth unto his house.

9:8  [4having seen 1And 2the 3multitudes] marveled, and they glorified God, the one giving [2authority 1such] to men.

9:9  And Jesus passing by there beheld a man sitting down at the tax collector's station, being called Matthew. And he says to him, Follow me! And having arisen, he followed him.

9:10  And it came to pass of his reclining in the house. And behold, many tax collectors and sinners having come were reclining together with Jesus and his disciples.

9:11  And the Pharisees seeing, said to his disciples, Why with the tax collectors and sinners does [3eat 2teacher 1your]?

9:12  And Jesus having heard, said to them, [4no 5need 3have 1The ones 2being strong] of a physician, but the ones [2illnesses 1having] do.

9:13  But having gone learn what it is said, Mercy I want, and not sacrifice! [3not 1For not 2I came] to call the righteous, but sinners unto repentance.

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

9:15  And [2said 3to them 1Jesus], [5are not 6able 1the 2sons 3of the 4bridal chamber] to mourn as long as [4with 5them 3is 1the 2groom]. But there shall come days whenever [3departs 4from 5them 1the 2groom], and then they shall fast.

9:16  But no one puts a piece of cloth [2rag 1of an unshrunk] upon [2garment 1an old], [5lifts away 1for 2the 3fullness 4of it] from the garment, and [3worse 1the split 2becomes].

9:17  Nor do they throw [2wine 1new] into [2leather bags 1old]; otherwise [3are torn 1the 2leather bags], and the wine pours out, and the leather bags they destroy. But they cast [2wine 1new] into [2leather bags 1new], and both are preserved together.

9:18  [3these things 1In his 2speaking] to them, behold, [2ruler 1one] having come, did obeisance to him, saying that, My daughter just now came to an end; but having come, place your hand upon her! and she shall live.

9:19  And Jesus having arisen, he followed him and his disciples.

9:20  And behold, a woman hemorrhaging twelve years, having come forward behind, touched the decorative hem of his cloak.

9:21  For she said in herself, If only I should touch his cloak, I shall be delivered.

9:22  And Jesus having turned, and beholding her, said, Courage daughter! your belief has delivered you. And [3was delivered 1the 2woman] from that hour.

9:23  And Jesus having come into the house of the ruler, and beholding the pipers and the multitude making a disruption,

9:24  he says to them, Withdraw! [5not 1for 4died 2the 3young woman], but sleeps. And they ridiculed him.

9:25  But when [3was cast out 1the 2multitude], having entered, he held her hand, and [3arose 1the 2young woman].

9:26  And went forth this reputation into [2entire 3land 1that].

9:27  And [2passing 3from there 1in the] of Jesus, there followed him two blind men, crying out and saying, Show mercy upon us, O son of David!

9:28  And having come into the house, there came forward to him the blind men. And [2says 3to them 1Jesus], Do you trust that I am able to do this? They say to him, Yes, O Lord.

9:29  Then he touched their eyes, saying, According to your belief let it be to you!

9:30  And [3were opened 1their 2eyes]; and [2strictly charged 3them 1Jesus], saying, See you let no one know!

9:31  And they, having gone forth, spread of him abroad in [2entire 3land 1that].

9:32  And of their going forth, behold, they brought near to him [2man 1a mute] being demon-possessed.

9:33  And having been cast out of the demon possessed man, [3spoke 1the 2mute]. And [3marveled 1the 2multitudes], saying, At no time was such shown forth in Israel.

9:34  But the Pharisees said, By the ruler of the demons he casts out the demons.

9:35  And Jesus went about [2the 3cities 1all] and the towns, teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and curing every disease, and every infirmity.

9:36  And having beheld the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them, for they were fainting and dropping as sheep not having a shepherd.

9:37  Then he says to his disciples, For sure the harvest is great, but the workers few;

9:38  beseech then of the Lord of the harvest, so that he should cast workers into his harvest.
