So he got into the boat and crossed the sea, and returned to his own city. Some people came bringing to him on a bed a man who was paralyzed. Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the man, "Courage, my son! Your sins are forgiven." Some of the scribes said to themselves, "This man is talking blasphemy!" read more.
Jesus knew what they were thinking, and he said, "Why do you have such wicked thoughts in your hearts? For which is easier, to say, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Get up and walk'? But I would have you know that the Son of Man has authority to forgive sins on earth." Then he said to the paralytic, "Get up, pick up your bed and go home!" And he got up and went home. And when the crowd saw it, they were filled with awe, and praised God for giving such power to men. Afterward, as Jesus was passing along, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tollhouse, and he said to him, "Follow me!" And he got up and followed him. While Jesus was at home at table, a number of tax-collectors and irreligious people came in and joined Jesus and his disciples at table. And the Pharisees observed it, and they said to his disciples, "Why does your master eat with tax-collectors and irreligious people?" But he heard it, and said, "It is not well people but the sick who have to have the doctor! You must go and learn what the saying means, 'It is mercy, not sacrifice, that I care for.' I did not come to invite the pious but the irreligious." Then the disciples of John came up to him and said, "Why is it that we and the Pharisees are keeping the fast, while your disciples are not keeping it?" Jesus said to them, "Can wedding guests mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? But a time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them, and they will fast then. But no one sews a patch of unshrunken cloth on an old coat, for the patch will tear away from the coat, and make the hole worse than ever. And people do not put new wine into old wine-skins, or if they do, the skins burst, and the wine runs out and the skins are spoiled. But people put new wine into fresh wine-skins, and so both are saved." Just as he said this to them, an official came up and bowing low before him said to him, "My daughter has just died. But come! Lay your hand on her and she will come to life!" And Jesus got up and followed him, with his disciples. And a woman who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years came up behind him and touched the tassel of his cloak. For she said to herself, "If I can just touch his cloak, I will get well." And Jesus turned and saw her, and he said, "Courage, my daughter! Your faith has cured you!" And from that time the woman was well. When Jesus reached the official's house, and saw the flute-players and the disturbance the crowd was making, he said, "You must go away, for the girl is not dead; she is asleep." And they laughed at him. But when he had driven the people out, he went in and grasped her hand, and the girl got up. And the news of this spread all over that part of the country.

They proceeded to Capernaum, and on the very first Sabbath he went to the synagogue and taught. And they were amazed at his teaching, for he taught them like one who had authority, and not like the scribes. Just then there was in their synagogue a man under the control of a foul spirit, and he cried out, read more.
"What do you want of us, Jesus, you Nazarene? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are, you are God's holy One!" Jesus reproved him, and said, "Silence! Get out of him!" The foul spirit convulsed the man and gave a loud cry and went out of him. And they were all so amazed that they discussed it with one another, and said, "What does this mean? It is a new teaching! He gives orders with authority even to the foul spirits, and they obey him!" And his fame immediately spread in all directions through the whole neighborhood of Galilee. As soon as they left the synagogue, they went with James and John to the house of Simon and Andrew. Simon's mother-in-law was in bed, sick with a fever, and they immediately told him about her. And he went up to her, and grasping her hand, he made her rise. And the fever left her, and she waited on them. In the evening, after sunset, they brought to him all who were sick or possessed by demons, and the whole town was gathered at the door. And he cured many who were sick with various diseases, and drove out many demons, and he would not let the demons speak, because they knew that he was Christ. Early in the morning, long before daylight, he got up and left the house and went off to a lonely spot, and prayed there. And Simon and his companions sought him out and found him, and said to him, "They are all looking for you!" He said to them, "Let us go somewhere else, to the neighboring country towns, so that I may preach in them, too, for that is why I came out here." So he went all through Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and driving out the demons. There came to him a leper appealing to him on his knees, saying to him, "If you only choose, you can cure me." And he pitied him and stretched out his hand and touched him, and said to him, "I do choose! Be cured!" And the leprosy immediately left him, and he was cured. And Jesus immediately drove him away with stern injunctions, saying to him, "See that you say nothing about this to anybody, but begone! show yourself to the priest, and in proof of your cure make the offerings for your purification which Moses prescribed." But he went off and began to talk so much about it, and to spread the story so widely, that Jesus could no longer go into a town openly, but stayed out in unfrequented places, and people came to him from every direction.

He went again to a synagogue, and there was a man there with one hand withered. And they were watching him closely, to see whether he would cure him on the Sabbath, in order to get a charge to bring against him. He said to the man with the withered hand, "Get up and come forward." read more.
And he said to them, "Is it allowable to do people good on the Sabbath, or to do them harm? To save life or kill?" But they made no answer. And he looked around at them with anger, hurt by their obstinacy, and he said to the man, "Hold out your hand!" And he held it out, and his hand was cured. Then the Pharisees left the synagogue and immediately consulted with the Herodians about Jesus, with a view to putting him to death.

When he had finished saying all this in the hearing of the people, he went to Capernaum. A Roman captain had a slave whom he thought a great deal of, and the slave was sick and at the point of death. When the captain heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to him, to ask him to come and save his slave's life. read more.
And they went to Jesus and urged him strongly to do it, and said, "He deserves to have you do this for him, for he loves our nation, and it was he who built us our synagogue." So Jesus went with them. But when he was not far from the house, the captain sent some friends to him, to say to him, "Master, do not take any more trouble, for I am not a suitable person to have you under my roof. That is why I did not think I was fit to come to you. But simply say the word, and have my servant cured. For I am myself under the orders of others, and I have soldiers under me, and I tell one to go, and he goes, and another to come, and he comes, and my slave to do something, and he does it." When Jesus heard this, he was astonished at him, and turning to the crowd that was following him, he said, "I tell you, I have not found such faith as this even in Israel!" And when the messengers went back to the house, they found the slave well.

So he came back to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water into wine. There was at Capernaum one of the king's officials whose son was sick. When he heard that Jesus had come back from Judea to Galilee, he went to him and begged him to come down and cure his son, for he was at the point of death. Jesus said to him, "Unless you see signs and marvels you will never believe!" read more.
The official said to him, "Come down, sir, before my child is dead!" Jesus said to him, "You can go home. Your son is going to live." The man believed what Jesus said to him and went home. While he was on the way, his slaves met him and told him that his boy was going to live. So he asked them at what time he had begun to get better, and they said to him, "Yesterday at one o'clock the fever left him." So the father knew that it was the very time when Jesus had said to him "Your son is going to live." And he and his whole household believed in Jesus.

and got into a boat and started across the sea for Capernaum. By this time it was dark, and Jesus had not yet joined them; a strong wind was blowing and the sea was growing rough. When they had rowed three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and approaching the boat, and they were terrified. read more.
But he said to them, "It is I; do not be afraid!" Then as soon as they consented to take him into the boat, the boat was at the shore they had been trying to reach. Next day the people who had stayed on the other side of the sea saw that there had been only one boat there, and that Jesus had not embarked in it with his disciples, but that the disciples had gone away by themselves. But some boats from Tiberias landed near the place where they had eaten the bread after Jesus had given thanks for it. So when the people saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were any longer there, they got into the boats and went to Capernaum in search of him. And when they had crossed the sea and found him, they said to him, "When did you get here, Master?"

Jesus said all this while he was teaching in the synagogue at Capernaum. Verse Concepts

Even as he spoke people came from the house of the leader of the synagogue and said, "Your daughter is dead. Why should you trouble the Master any further?" But Jesus paid no attention to what they said, but said to the leader of the synagogue, "Do not be afraid, just have faith." He let no one go with him but Peter, James, and James's brother John. read more.
They came to the house of the leader of the synagogue, and there he found everything in confusion, and people weeping and wailing. And he went into the house and said to them, "What is the meaning of all this confusion and crying? The child is not dead, she is asleep." And they laughed at him. But he drove them all out, and took the child's father and mother and the men who were with him and went into the room where the child was lying. And he grasped her hand and said to her, "Taleitha, koum!"??hat is to say, "Little girl, I tell you, get up!" And the little girl immediately got up and walked about, for she was twelve years old. The moment they saw it they were utterly amazed.

And when the Master saw her, he pitied her, and said to her, "Do not weep." And he went up and touched the bier, and the bearers stopped. And he said, "Young man, I tell you, wake up!" And the dead man sat up and began to speak, and he gave him back to his mother.

But he grasped her hand and called out, "Get up, my child!" And her spirit returned and she stood up immediately, and he directed them to give her something to eat. And her parents were amazed, but he ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.
