And entering a ship, he crossed over, and came to his own city; and behold they brought him a paralytic, lying on a bed. And Jesus seeing their faith said to the paralytic, Son, be of good courage; your sins are forgiven. And behold some of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemes. read more.
And Jesus observing their thoughts, said, Why do you think evil in your hearts? For in what respect is it easier to say, Your sins are forgiven, than to say, Arise and walk? But that you may know that the Son of man has power on the earth to forgive sins, then he said to the paralytic, Arise, take up your bed, and go to your house. And he arose and departed to his house. And when the multitudes saw it they were afraid, and glorified God who had given such power to men. And Jesus departing thence saw a man sitting at the custom-house, called Matthew; and he said to him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him. And he was reclining in the house, and behold, many publicans and sinners came and reclined with Jesus and his disciples. And when the Pharisees saw them they said to his disciples, Why does your teacher eat with publicans and sinners? And hearing it he said, The well need not a physician, but the sick. Go and learn what this means: I wish for mercy and not a sacrifice; for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners. Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast much, but your disciples fast not? And Jesus said to them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them, and then they shalt fast. But no one puts a piece of unfilled cloth on an old garment; for it takes away its fullness from the garment, and the rent is made worse. Neither do they put new wine into old bottles; otherwise the bottles break, and the wine is poured out and the bottles destroyed; but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved. While he was saying these words to them, behold a ruler came and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is now dead, but come and put your hand on her and she shall live. And Jesus arose and followed him, and his disciples. And behold a woman having a hemorrhage of twelve years approached him from behind, and touched the fringe of his garment; for she said within herself, If I can only touch his garment I shall be cured. And Jesus turning around and seeing her, said, Daughter, be of good courage, your faith has cured you. And the woman was cured from that hour. And Jesus coming into the house of the ruler, and seeing the musicians and the multitude making a tumultuous noise, said, Go away; for the girl is not dead, but asleep. And they derided him. But when the multitude were removed he went in and took her hand, and the girl arose. And the report went out into all that land.

And when they came to Capernaum, those who received the didrachma [28 cents], came to Peter, and said, Does not your teacher pay the didrachma?

And they entered into Capernaum, and immediately on the sabbath he taught in the synagogues. And they were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes.

saying, What have you to do with us, Jesus Nazarene? have you come to destroy us? We know you who you are, the holy [Son] of God! And Jesus rebuked him saying, Be still, and come out of him. And the impure spirit affecting him with convulsions, and crying with a loud voice, came out of him. And all were astonished, so that they inquired among themselves, saying, What is this? a new teaching with authority, and does he command the impure spirits and they obey him? And his fame went out immediately into all the country about Galilee. And going immediately out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew with James and John; and Simon's mother-in-law was lying with a fever; and immediately they told him of her. And coming, he took her by the hand, and raised her up, and the fever immediately left her, and she waited on them. And at evening when the sun went down they brought to him all that were sick, and the demoniacs; and the whole city was assembled at the door. And he healed many that were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons, and suffered not the demons to say that they knew him. And in the morning while it was quite dark he arose and went out, and departed to a solitary place, and there prayed. And Simon and those with him followed him, and said to him, All men seek you. And he said to them, Let us go elsewhere to the adjoining villages to preach there; because for this purpose have I come. And he preached in their synagogues in all Galilee, and cast out demons. And a leper came to him beseeching him, saying to him, If you will, you can cleanse me. And having compassion on him, he stretched out his hand and touched him, and said to him, I will; be cleansed. And the leprosy immediately left him, and he was cleansed. And giving him a strict charge, he immediately sent him away, and said to him, See that you say nothing to any one, but go and show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, for a testimony to them. And going out he spread and published abroad the report, to such an extent that he [Jesus] could no longer go openly into a city, but was without in solitary places; and they came to him from every quarter.

And he entered again into the synagogue, and there was a man there having a withered hand. And they watched him [to see] if he would cure him on the sabbath, that they might accuse him. And he said to the man having the withered hand, Arise in the midst. read more.
And he said to them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? And they were silent. And looking around on them in anger, being grieved at the hardness of their hearts, he said to the man, Stretch out your hand. And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored. And the Pharisees went out immediately with the Herodians, and took counsel against him to kill him.

WHEN he had finished all his discourses in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum. And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear to him, was sick, and about to die; and he hearing of Jesus, sent to him the elders of the Jews, asking him to come and cure his servant. read more.
And having come to Jesus they besought him earnestly, saying, He is worthy for whom you should do this; for he loves our nation, and has built us a synagogue. And Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying, Lord, trouble not yourself, for I am not fit that you should come under my roof. Wherefore I did not think myself worthy to come to you; but say the word, and my servant shall be cured; for I also am a man placed under authority, having soldiers under me, and I say to one, Go, and he goes, and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my servant, Do this, and he does it. And Jesus hearing these things wondered at him, and turning around said to the multitude following him, I tell you I have not found in Israel so great a faith; and those sent returning to the house found the sick servant well.

Then he came again to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum. Hearing that Jesus had come from Judea into Galilee, he went to him, and desired him to come down and cure his son, for he was about to die. Then Jesus said to him, Unless you see miracles and prodigies you will not believe. read more.
The nobleman said to him, Lord, come down before my child dies. Jesus said to him, Go; your son lives. The man believed the word which Jesus said to him, and went. And as he was now going down his servants met him, and told, saying, Your child lives. Then he inquired of them the hour in which he became better. Then they said to him, The fever left him yesterday, at the seventh hour. Then the father knew that it was in that hour in which Jesus said to him, Your son lives; and he believed, and all his house.

But he said to them, It is I; be not afraid. Then they willingly took him into the ship, and immediately the ship was at the land to which they were going. ON the next day, the multitude standing on the other side of the lake seeing that there was no other boat there except one, and that Jesus entered not into the ship with his disciples but his disciples had gone away alone,??23 but other boats came from Tiberias near the place where they had eaten bread after the Lord gave thanks,??24 when, therefore, the multitude saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they went into the ships and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus. And finding him on the other side of the lake they said to him, Rabbi, when came you hither?

These things he said in a synagogue, teaching in Capernaum.


And you, Capernaum, which are exalted even to heaven, shall go down even to hades; for if the mighty works which have been done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained to this day.

And you, Capernaum, even to heaven will you be exalted? even to hades shall you be cast down.
