And having known their thoughts Jesus said, Why think ye evil in your hearts? For which is easier, to say, Thy sins have been forgiven thee, or to say, Arise and walk? But that ye may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins (then he says to the paralyzed man), After rising, take up thy bed, and go to thy house.

And it came to pass while he relaxed in the house, and behold, many tax collectors and sinners having come, they were sitting with Jesus and his disciples.

But after going, learn what this means, I desire mercy, and not sacrifice, for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners for repentance.

While he spoke these things to them, behold, one ruler who came worshiped him, saying, My daughter has just now perished, but after coming, lay thy hand upon her, and she will live. And having risen, Jesus followed him, also his disciples. And behold, a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, after coming from behind, touched the edge of his garment. For she said within herself, If only I may touch his garment, I will be healed. But having turned around and seen her, Jesus said, Cheer up, daughter, thy faith has healed thee. And the woman was healed from that hour. And Jesus having come into the ruler's house, and having seen the minstrels, and the crowd making a commotion, he says to them, Depart, for the little girl did not die, but sleeps. And they ridiculed him. But when the crowd was put out, having entered in, he took her hand, and the little girl arose. And this report went forth into all that land.
