⥃Jesus Heals a Paralytic ^{[ Mark 2:1–12 † Luke 5:17–26 ]}

[1] And he² entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into his³ own city. [2] And, behold, they brought⁴ to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing⁵ their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son⁶, be⁷ of good cheer; thy sins⁸ be forgiven thee. [3] And, behold, certain⁹ of the scribes said within themselves, This¹⁰ [man] blasphemeth. [4] And Jesus knowing¹¹ their thoughts said, Wherefore¹² think ye evil in your hearts? [5] For whether¹³ is easier, to say, [Thy] sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise¹⁴, and walk? [6] But that ye may know that the¹⁵ Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise¹⁶, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house. [7] And he arose, and departed to his house. [8] But when¹⁷ the multitudes saw [it], they marvelled, and¹⁸ glorified God, which had given such power unto men.

⥃Jesus Calls Matthew ^{[ Mark 2:13–17 † Luke 5:27–32 ]}

[9] [¶]And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named¹⁹ Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow²⁰ me. And he arose, and followed him.

[10] And it came to pas²¹s, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many²² publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples. [11] And when the Pharisees saw [it], they said²³ unto his disciples, Why²⁴ eateth your Master with publicans and sinners? [12] But when Jesus heard [that], he said unto them, They that be whole²⁵ need not a physician, but they that are sick. [13] But go²⁶ ye and learn what [that] meaneth, I will²⁷ have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call²⁸ the righteous, but²⁹ sinners to repentance.

⥃Questions about Fasting ^{[ Mark 2:18–20 † Luke 5:33–35 ]}

[14] Then came to him the disciples³⁰ of John, saying, Why³¹ do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not? [15] And Jesus said unto them, Can³² the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when³³ the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then³⁴ shall they fast.

⥃The Patches and the Wineskins ^{[ Mark 2:21–22 † Luke 5:36–39 ]}

[16] No man putteth a piece of new cloth³⁵ unto an old garment, for³⁶ that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse. [17] Neither do men put new wine into old³⁷ bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.

⥃The Healing Touch of Jesus ^{[ Mark 5:21–43 † Luke 8:40–56 ]}

[18] While he spake these things unto them, behold³⁸, there came a certain ruler³⁹, and worshipped⁴⁰ him, saying, My daughter⁴¹ is even now dead: but come⁴² and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live. [19] And Jesus arose, and followed him, and [so did] his disciples.⁴³

[20] And, behold⁴⁴, a woman, which was diseased with an issue⁴⁵ of blood twelve years, came behind [him], and touched⁴⁶ the hem⁴⁷ of his garment: [21] For she said within herself, If⁴⁸ I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole. [22] But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter⁴⁹, be of good comfort; thy⁵⁰ faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from⁵¹ that hour. [23] And when Jesus came into⁵² the ruler’s house, and saw the minstrels⁵³ and the people making a noise, [24] He said unto them, Give⁵⁴ place: for the maid is not⁵⁵ dead, but sleepeth. And⁵⁶ they laughed him to scorn. [25] But when the people⁵⁷ were put forth, he went in, and took⁵⁸ her by the hand, and the maid arose. [26] And the fame hereof⁵⁹ went abroad into all that land.

⥃Jesus Heals the Blind and Mute ^{[ Mark 7:31–37 ]}

[27] And when Jesus departed thence, two⁶⁰ blind men followed him, crying, and saying, [Thou⁶¹] Son of David, have⁶² mercy on us. [28] And when he was come⁶³ into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe⁶⁴ ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord. [29] Then touched⁶⁵ he their eyes, saying, According⁶⁶ to your faith be it unto you. [30] And their⁶⁷ eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly⁶⁸ charged them, saying, See [that] no man know [it]. [31] But they, when they were departed, spread⁶⁹ abroad his fame in all that country.

[32] As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb⁷⁰ man possessed with a devil. [33] And when the devil was cast out, the dumb⁷¹ spake: and the multit⁷²udes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel. [34] But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils.⁷³

⥃The Lord of the Harvest ^{[ Luke 10:1–12 ]}

[35] And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.⁷⁴

[36] But when⁷⁵ he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted⁷⁶, and were scattered abroad, as⁷⁷ sheep having no shepherd. [37] Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest⁷⁸ truly [is] plenteous, but⁷⁹ the labourers [are] few; [38] Pray⁸⁰ ye therefore the Lord⁸¹ of the harvest, that⁸² he will send forth labourers into his harvest.
