ULT MAT Chapter 9

9 And having gotten into a boat, he crossed over and came to his own city. 2 And behold, they were bringing to him a paralytic lying on a mat. And Jesus, having seen their faith, said to the paralytic, “Child, have courage. Your sins are forgiven.” 3 And behold, some of the scribes said among themselves, “This one blasphemes.” 4 And Jesus, having seen their thoughts, said, “For what reason do you think evil in your hearts? 5 For which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins have been forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’? 6 But in order that you might know that the Son of Man has authority on the earth to forgive sins,”—he then says to the paralytic—“Getting up, pick up your mat, and go to your house.” 7 And having gotten up, he went away to his house. 8 Now when the crowds had seen this, they were afraid[fn] and glorified God, having given such authority to men.

9 And Jesus, passing on from there, saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector’s office, and he says to him, “Follow me.” And having gotten up, he followed him. 10 And it happened that he was reclining to eat in the house, and behold, many tax collectors and sinners, having come, were dining with Jesus and his disciples. 11 And the Pharisees, having seen this, were saying to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?” 12 But he, having heard this, said, “The ones being healthy do not have need of a physician, but the ones having sickness. 13 But having gone, learn what this is: ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice.’ For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

14 Then the disciples of John come to him, saying, “For what reason do we and the Pharisees often fast, but your disciples do not fast?” 15 And Jesus said to them, “The sons of the bridal chamber are not able to mourn while the bridegroom is still with them, are they? But days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast. 16 Now no one puts a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for its patch tears away from the garment, and a worse tear happens. 17 Neither do they put new wine into old wineskins. But if not, the skins are burst, and the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are destroyed. But they put new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.”

18 While he was saying these things to them, behold, a certain official, having approached, bowed down to him, saying, “My daughter has just now died, but, having come, lay your hand on her, and she will live.” 19 And having gotten up, Jesus and his disciples followed him. 20 And behold, a woman suffering from a discharge of blood for 12 years, having approached from behind, touched the edge of his cloak, 21 for she was saying in herself, “If only I touch his cloak, I will be saved.” 22 But Jesus, having turned and having seen her, said, “Daughter, take courage; your faith has saved you.” And the woman was saved from that hour. 23 And Jesus, having come to the house of the official and having seen the flute players and the crowd being disturbed, 24 said, “Go away, for the girl has not died, but sleeps.” And they were laughing at him. 25 But when the crowd had been put outside, having entered, he took her hand, and the girl was raised up. 26 And this report went out into all that region.

27 And as Jesus was departing from there, two blind men followed him, crying out and saying, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!” 28 Now when he had come into the house, the blind men came to him and Jesus says to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They say to him, “Yes, Lord.” 29 Then he touched their eyes, saying, “Let it be done to you according to your faith.” 30 And their eyes were opened, and Jesus warned them, saying, “See that you let no one know about this.” 31 But they, having gone out, reported it in all that region.

32 Now as they were going away, behold, they brought to him a mute, demon-possessed man. 33 And the demon having been cast out, the mute man spoke, and the crowds marveled, saying, “Such as this has never been seen in Israel!” 34 But the Pharisees were saying, “By the ruler of the demons he casts out the demons.”

35 And Jesus was going around all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness. 36 Now having seen the crowds, he felt compassion for them, because they were troubled and discouraged, like sheep not having a shepherd. 37 Then he says to his disciples, “Indeed, the harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. 38 Therefore, earnestly ask the Lord of the harvest, so that he might send out laborers into his harvest.”

Instead of they were afraid, some manuscripts read they marveled.
