AND going on board the vessel, he passed over, and came to his own city. And lo! they brought him a paralytic stretched on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said to the paralytic, Be of good cheer, son; thy sins are forgiven thee. And lo! some of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth. read more.
And Jesus, seeing their thoughts, said, wherefore do ye imagine evil things in your hearts? For which is the easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk? But that ye may know that the Son of man hath authority upon earth to forgive sins, (then he saith to the paralytic,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go into thy house. And he arose, and went to his house. But when the multitude saw it, they were astonished, and glorified God, who had given such power unto men. And Jesus passing from thence, saw a man sitting at the custom house, called Matthew: and saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him. And it came to pass, as he sat in his house, many tax-gatherers and sinners came, and sat down at table with Jesus and his disciples. And the Pharisees observing it, said to his disciples, How is this, that your Master eateth with publicans and sinners? But Jesus hearing it, said unto them, They who are in the vigour of health have no need of the physician, but they who have illness. Go then, and learn what is said, "I require mercy and not sacrifice:" for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Then came unto him disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees keep many fasts, but thy disciples fast not? And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber weep, whilst the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then will they fast. But no man ingrafts a patch of undressed cloth into an old garment, for the piece supplied taketh from the garment, and the rent becomes worse. Nor do they put new wine into old bottles: but if they do, the bottles burst, and the wine is spilt, and the bottles are destroyed: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved. As he was speaking these things to them, behold, there came a ruler, and prostrated himself before him, saying, My daughter hath just now died: but come and lay thine hand upon her, and she shall live. And Jesus arose, and followed him, and his disciples also. And, behold, a woman, who had an haemorrage twelve years, came behind, and touched the fringe of his garment: for she said within herself, If I only touch his garment, I shall be cured. Then Jesus, turning about and beholding her, said, Be encouraged, daughter; thy faith hath saved thee. And the woman was cured from that hour. And when Jesus was come into the ruler's house, and saw the flute-players, and a multitude confusedly lamenting, he saith to them, Retire; for the little girl is not dead, but sleeping. And they derided him. So when the multitude was put out, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the little girl arose. And the fame of it went forth into all that country.

saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God. And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Be silent, and come out of him. And the unclean spirit threw him into convulsions, and crying with a loud voice, came out of him. And they were all in astonishment, so that they questioned one another, saying, What is this? what is this new doctrine? that with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him? And there went out a report of him immediately into all the region of Galilee round about. Then straitway going out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. But Simon's wife's mother lay in a fever, and immediately they informed him of her. And he came and raised her up, and the fever left her immediately, and she waited upon them. But when the evening was come, after the sun was set, they brought unto him all that had illnesses, and the demoniacs. And the whole city was gathered together about the door; and he healed many who were grievously afflicted with a variety of diseases; and he cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak for they knew him. And very early (the night being far advanced towards morning) rising up, he went forth, and retired into a desert place, and there prayed. And Simon, and those who were with him, eagerly pursued him; and when they had found him, they say unto him, All men are inquiring after thee. And he said unto them, Let us go into the neighbouring towns, that I may preach there also; for unto this purpose came I forth. And he was preaching in their synagogues, through all Galilee, and casting out devils. And there came to him a leper, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. Then Jesus, moved with compassion, stretching out his hand, touched him, and said to him, I will; be thou cleansed. And as he spake, the leprosy instantly departed from him, and he was cleansed. And giving him a strict charge, he immediately sent him away; and said to him, Take care, that thou speak not a word to any man: but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy purification, what Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

NOW the law, having a shadow of the good things which were to come, not the very substance of the things, cannot possibly, by the same sacrifices which they offer year by year continually, make those perfect who approach [God]; else they would have discontinued to make the offering, because they who performed the service being once made clean, would have had no more sense of sins on their conscience.

For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sin. Wherefore, coming into the world, he saith, "Sacrifice and oblation thou hast not chosen, but thou hast exactly fashioned a body for me: thou hast had no delight in whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices for sin: then I said, Here am I; (in the volume of the book it is written of me) I come to do thy will, O God."
