For which is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven; or to say, Arise, and walk?

And he entered into a boat, and crossed over, and came into his own city.

But when the multitudes saw it, they were afraid, and glorified God, who had given such authority unto men.

And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?

And behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth.

And as Jesus passed by from thence, he saw a man, called Matthew, sitting at the place of toll: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.

And behold, they brought to him a 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 are forgiven.

But that ye may know that the Son of man hath authority on earth to forgive sins (then saith he to the sick of the palsy), Arise, and take up thy bed, and go up unto thy house.

And he arose, and departed to his house.

And when the demon was cast out, the dumb man spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.

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

Neither do `men' put new wine into old wine-skins: else the skins burst, and the wine is spilled, and the skins perish: but they put new wine into fresh wine-skins, and both are preserved.

And as Jesus passed by from thence, two blind men followed him, crying out, and saying, Have mercy on us, thou son of David.

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

And the fame hereof went forth into all that land.

And their eyes were opened. And Jesus strictly charged them, saying, See that no man know it.

Then come to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?

And as they went forth, behold, there was brought to him a dumb man possessed with a demon.

And it came to pass, as he sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with Jesus and his disciples.

But go ye and learn what `this' meaneth, I desire mercy, and not sacrifice, for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.

But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them, because they were distressed and scattered, as sheep not having a shepherd.

And Jesus arose, and followed him, and `so did' his disciples.

And Jesus went about all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of disease and all manner of sickness.

While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.

And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Teacher with the publicans and sinners?

And behold, a woman, who had an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the border of his garment:

for she said within herself, If I do but touch his garment, I shall be made whole.

Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth laborers into his harvest.

But when he heard it, he said, They that are whole have no need of a physician, but they that are sick.

And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the flute-players, and the crowd making a tumult,

But when the crowd was put forth, he entered in, and took her by the hand; and the damsel arose.

Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it done unto you.

But Jesus turning and seeing her said, Daughter, be of good cheer; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.

Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest indeed is plenteous, but the laborers are few.

he said, Give place: for the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.

And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They say unto him, Yea, Lord.

And no man putteth a piece of undressed cloth upon an old garment; for that which should fill it up taketh from the garment, and a worse rent is made.

And Jesus said unto them, Can the sons of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then will they fast.
