3

Behold, some of the scribes said to themselves, "This man blasphemes.

4

Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, "Why do you think evil in your hearts?

5

For which is easier, to say, 'Your sins are forgiven;' or to say, 'Get up, and walk?

6

As Jesus passed by from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax collection office. He said to him, "Follow me." He got up and followed him.

11

When the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?

When Jesus heard it, he said to them, "Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do.

16

No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for the patch would tear away from the garment, and a worse hole is made.

17

Neither do people put new wine into old wineskins, or else the skins would burst, and the wine be spilled, and the skins ruined. No, they put new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved.

18

While he told these things to them, behold, a ruler came and worshiped him, saying, "My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live.

19

Jesus got up and followed him, as did his disciples.

20

Behold, a woman who had an issue of blood for twelve years came behind him, and touched the fringe of his garment;

21

for she said within herself, "If I just touch his garment, I will be made well.

22

But Jesus, turning around and seeing her, said, "Daughter, cheer up! Your faith has made you well." And the woman was made well from that hour.

23

When Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the flute players, and the crowd in noisy disorder,

26

The report of this went out into all that land.

31

But they went out and spread abroad his fame in all that land.

32

As they went out, behold, a mute man who was demon possessed was brought to him.

33

When the demon was cast out, the mute man spoke. The multitudes marveled, saying, "Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!

34

But the Pharisees said, "By the prince of the demons, he casts out demons.

Jesus went about all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the Good News of the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness among the people.

36

But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed and scattered, like sheep without a shepherd.
