16snJb…kV47

And Jesus went about all the towns and small places, teaching in their Synagogues and preaching the good news of the kingdom and making well all sorts of disease and pain.

And when the evil spirit had been sent out, the man had the power of talking: and they were all surprised, saying, Such a thing has never been seen in Israel.

But when he saw all the people he was moved with pity for them, because they were troubled and wandering like sheep without a keeper.

But go to the wandering sheep of the house of Israel,

And when Jesus went on from there, two blind men came after him, crying out, Have mercy on us, you Son of David.

And when you go in, say, May peace be on this house.

Take no bag for your journey and do not take two coats or shoes or a stick: for the workman has a right to his food.

And Jesus got up and went after him, and so did his disciples.

And the news of it went out into all that land.

And Jesus said to them, Will the friends of the newly-married man be sad as long as he is with them? But the days will come when he will be taken away from them, and then will they go without food.

And no man puts a bit of new cloth on an old coat, for by pulling away from the old, it makes a worse hole.

And while they were going away, there came to him a man without the power of talking, and with an evil spirit.

And whoever will not take you in, or give ear to your words, when you go out from that house or that town, put off its dust from your feet.

And brother will give up brother to death, and the father his child: and children will go against their fathers and mothers, and put them to death.

Then he put his hand on their eyes, saying, As your faith is, let it be done to you.

And you will come before rulers and kings because of me, for a witness to them and to the Gentiles.

Because it is not you who say the words, but the Spirit of your Father in you.

While he was saying these things to them, there came a ruler and gave him worship, saying, My daughter is even now dead; but come and put your hand on her, and she will come back to life.

Because, she said to herself, if I may but put my hand on his robe, I will be made well.

Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew, the tax-farmer; James, the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;

And a woman, who for twelve years had had a flow of blood, came after him, and put her hand on the edge of his robe:

And when Jesus was going from there, he saw a man whose name was Matthew, seated at the place where taxes were taken; and he said to him, Come after me. And he got up and went after him.

And some of the scribes said among themselves, This man has no respect for God.

But when the people saw it they were full of fear, and gave glory to God who had given such authority to men.

For which is the simpler, to say, You have forgiveness for your sins; or to say, Get up and go?

And they took to him a man stretched on a bed who had no power of moving; and Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the man who was ill, Son, take heart; you have forgiveness for your sins.

But on hearing this he said, Those who are well have no need of a medical man, but those who are ill.

And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, Why does your Master take food with tax-farmers and sinners?

And he got up and went away to his house.

But go and take to heart the sense of these words, My desire is for mercy, not offerings: for I have come not to get the upright, but sinners.
