Jesus Heals a Paralytic
(Mark 2:1–12; Luke 5:17–26)

1And having embarked into the ship, He crossed over, and came into His own city.

2And behold, they were bringing to Him a paralyzed man, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said to the paralytic, Be of good cheer, child, thy sins are forgiven thee. 3And behold, certain ones of the scribes said among themselves; This man blasphemeth. 4And Jesus seeing their thoughts said, Why do you think evil in your hearts? 5For whether is it easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or, Arise, and walk about? 6But in order that you may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, (then He says to the paralytic), Having arisen, take thy bed, and depart into thy house. 7And having arisen, he came away to his own house. 8And the multitude seeing, were astonished, and glorified God, who giveth such power to men.

Jesus Calls Matthew
(Mark 2:13–17; Luke 5:27–32)

9And Jesus passing along from thence, saw a man sitting at the toll, called Matthew; and He says to him, Follow me. And having arisen up, he followed Him.

10And it came to pass, He was sitting at the table in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners, having come were sitting along with Jesus and His disciples. 11And the Pharisees seeing, said to His disciples, Wherefore does your teacher eat with publicans and sinners? 12And Jesus hearing said to them, They that are whole have no need of a physician, but they that are sick. 13But having gone, learned what this is, I wish mercy and not sacrifice: for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

Questions about Fasting
(Mark 2:18–20; Luke 5:33–35)

14Then the disciples of John come to Him, saying, Wherefore do we and the Pharisee fast, but thy disciples do not fast? 15And Jesus said to them, The sons of the bride-chamber are not able to fast, so long as the bridegroom is with them. But the day will come, when the bride-groom must be taken from them, and then they will fast.

The Patches and the Wineskins
(Mark 2:21–22; Luke 5:36–39)

16But no one puts a piece of new cloth on an old garment; for it takes its fullness from the garment, and the rent is made worse. 17Neither do they put new wine in old bottles: lest the bottles are broken, and the wine poured out, and the bottles shall perish: but they put the new wine into the new bottles, and both are preserved.

The Healing Touch of Jesus
(Mark 5:21–43; Luke 8:40–56)

18And He speaking these things to them, behold a certain ruler having come, continued to worship Him, saying, My daughter just now died: but having come put your hand on her, and she shall live. 19And Jesus having risen, follows him, and His disciples.

20And behold, a woman, having an issue of blood twelve years, and coming to Him behind, touched the hem of His garment. 21For she continued to say within herself, If I may only touch His garment, I will be saved. 22And the woman was saved from that hour. And Jesus turning and seeing her said, Be of good cheer, daughter; thy faith hath saved thee.

23And Jesus having come into the house of the ruler, and seeing the flute-players, and the weeping crowd,

24says to them; Retire: for the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth. And they hooted at Him. 25And when the crowd was put out, coming to her, He took her by the hand, and the damsel arose. 26And this news went out into that whole country.

Jesus Heals the Blind and Mute
(Mark 7:31–37)

27And two blind men followed Him, going thence, crying out, and saying, 28Have mercy on us, thou Son of David. And the blind men came to Him, having come into the house: and Jesus says to them, Do you believe that I am able to do this? They say to Him, Yea, Lord. 29Then He touched their eyes, saying, Be it unto you according to your faith. 30And their eyes were opened. And Jesus charged them, saying, See that no one know it. 31But they having gone out, spread abroad His fame in all that country.

32And they going out, behold, they brought to Him a dumb man, demonized. 33And the demon having been cast out, the dumb spoke. And the multitudes were astonished, saying, 34Never did it so appear in Israel. And the Pharisees continued to say, He casts out the demons through the prince of the demons.

The Lord of the Harvest
(Luke 10:1–12)

35And Jesus was going around all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and ailment.

36And seeing the multitudes, He was moved in compassion in their behalf, because they were fleeced and deserted, as sheep having no shepherd. 37Then He says to His disciples, The harvest truly is great and the laborers are few; 38therefore pray the Lord of the harvest that he may send forth laborers into His harvest.
