Matthew 9:11 Themes and Topics

And having entered into a ship, he passed over and came into his own city. And, behold, they brought him a paralytic, laid upon a bed; and Jesus seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, Take courage, child thy sins are let go to thee. And behold, certain of the scribes said in themselves, This defames. read more.
And Jesus seeing their reflections, said, Why reflect ye within your hearts? For why is it easier to say, Sins are let go to thee; or say, Arise and walk? But that ye might know that the Son of man has power upon earth to let go sins, (then he says to the paralytic), Having risen, take up thy bed and retire to thy house. And having risen, he went away into his house. And the crowds, seeing, admired, and praised God, giving such power to men. And Jesus, passing away from thence, saw a man sitting by the custom-house, being called Matthew, and he says to him, Follow me; and having risen he followed him. And it was he sitting at table in the house, and behold, many tax collectors and sinful, having come, sat at table with Jesus and his disciples. And the Pharisees, seeing, said to his disciples, Wherefore does your teacher eat with tax collectors and the sinful? And Jesus having heard, said to them, They being strong have no need of a physician, but they having evils. And having gone, learn what is this, I wish mercy, and not sacrifice: for I came not to call the just, but the sinful to repentance. Then came to him the disciples of John; saying, Wherefore do we and the Pharisees fast much, and thy disciples fast not? And Jesus said to them, The sons of the nuptial chamber cannot mourn inasmuch as the bridegroom is with them; but the days shall come when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast. And no one puts on a cover of uncombed fragment upon an old garment, for its filling takes away from the garment, and the division is Worse. Neither do they cast new wine into old wineskins: but if otherwise, the wine-skins burst, and the wine is poured out, and the wine-skins are destroyed; but they cast new wine into new wine-skins, and they are both preserved. He speaking these things to them, behold, a ruler, having come, worshipped him, saying; That my daughter has just now died: but having come, put thy hand upon her, and she shall live. And Jesus having risen, followed him: also his disciples. And behold, a woman discharging blood twelve years, having come near behind, touched the hem of his garment: For she said in herself, If I should only touch the hem of his garment, I shall be saved. And Jesus having turned round, and seeing her, said, Take courage, daughter; thy faith has saved thee. And the woman was saved from that hour. And Jesus having come into the ruler's house, and seeing the flute players and the crowd making an uproar, He says to them, Give way; for the girl is not dead but sleeps; and they mocked him. But when the crowd was driven forth, having entered, he seized her hand, and the little girl was awakened. And this report went forth into that whole land.

Let alone; what to us and thee, Jesus thou Nazarene? hast thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy of God. And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Be silent, and come out of him.

And early, having risen far in the night, he went out, and departed into a deserted place, and there prayed. And Simon, and they with him, followed him. And having found him, they say to him, That all seek thee. And he says to them, We should lead into the next small cities, that I might proclaim there also: for, for this have I come forth. And he was proclaiming in their synagogues in the whole of Galilee, and casting out demons. And a leprous one came to him, beseeching him, and supplicating him on his knees, and saying to him, That if thou wouldst, thou canst cleanse me. And Jesus, having felt compassion, having stretched out the hand, touched him, and says to him, I will: be thou cleansed. And he having spoken, quickly the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed. And having threatened him violently, quickly he cast him forth: And says to him, See thou say nothing to any one: but retire, shew thyself to the priest, and bring forward for thy cleansing what things Moses commanded, for a testimony to them. And he, having gone forth, began to proclaim many things, and to spread the word a report, so that he could no more openly enter the city, but was without in desert places: and they come to him from every quarter.

And he went again into the synagogue; and a man was there having the hand dried up. And they were observing him narrowly, if in the sabbaths he will heal him; that they might accuse him. And he says to the man having the hand dried up, Rise in the midst. read more.
And he says to them, Is it lawful in the sabbaths to do good, or to do evil? to save a soul, or to kill? And they were silent.

And the Pharisees having come out, quickly with the Herodians were making counsel against him, that they might destroy him.

And when he completed all his words in the ears of the people, he came to Capernaum. And a certain centurion's servant being sick, was about to die; which was highly valued by him.

And they approaching to Jesus, besought him earnestly, saying, That he is worthy to whom he will bestow this: For he loves our nation, and has built us a synagogue. And Jesus went with them. And now he being away not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not fit that thou shouldest come under my roof; Therefore neither thought I myself worthy to come to thee: but speak in a word, and my servant shall be healed. For I also am a man set under authority, having soldiers under myself, and I say to this, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes: and to my servant, Do this, and he does. And Jesus having heard these, wondered at him, and having turned to the crowd following him, he said, I say to you, Neither have I found so much faith in Israel. And those sent, having turned back to the house, found the servant being sick, restored to health.

Then came Jesus again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain royal one, whose son was sick in Capernanm. He, having heard that Jesus was come from Judea to Galilee, went away to him, and asked him that he would go down and heal his son: for he was about to die. Then said Jesus to him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye would not believe. read more.
The royal one says to Him, Lord, go down before my child dies. Jesus says to him, Go; thy son lives. And the man believed the word which Jesus said to him, and he went. And he already going down, his servants met him, and announced, saying, That thy child lives. Then he inquired of them the hour in which he was attended to. And they said to him, That yesterday the seventh hour the fever left him. Then the father knew that in that hour in which Jesus said to him, That thy son lives: and he believed, and his whole house.

And having entered into a ship, they came beyond the sea to Capernaum. And already was there darkness, and Jesus had not come to them. And the sea, a great wind blowing, arose. Then having urged forward about twent-five or thirty stadia, they behold Jesus walking upon the sea, and being near the ship: and they were afraid. read more.
And he says to them, I am; be not afraid. Then they wished to take him into the ship: and the ship was quickly at land to which they retired. The morrow, the crowd standing beyond the sea having seen that no other small vessel was there, except that one into which his disciples had entered, and that Jesus entered not with his disciples into the small vessel, but his disciples departed alone; (But also other small vessels came out of Tiberias near to the place where they ate bread, the Lord having returned thanks:) When the crowd therefore saw that Jesus is not there, nor his disciples, they also entered into ships, and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus. And having found them beyond the sea, they said to him, Rabbi, when camest thou here?

Foolish and blind; for which is the greater, the gold, or the temple consecrating the gold?
