Mark 5
1 ଯୀଶୁ ଓ ତାହାଙ୍କ ଶିଷ୍ଯମାନେ ହ୍ରଦର ଅପର ପାଶର୍ବର ଗରାଶୀୟମାନଙ୍କ ଦେଶ ରେ ପହନ୍ଚିଲେ।
2 ଯୀଶୁ ଡଙ୍ଗାର ବାହାରକୁ ଆସିବା ମାତ୍ ରେ ଗୋଟିଏ ଲୋକ କବର ମଧ୍ଯରୁ ବାହାରି ତାହାଙ୍କ ପାଖକୁ ଆସିଲା ା ତା' ଦହେ ରେ ଦୁଷ୍ଟାତ୍ମାଟି ପ୍ରବେଶ କରି ରହିଥିଲା।
3 ସେ ଲୋକଟି କବର ମଧିଅରେ ରହୁଥିଲା। ତାହାକୁ କହେି ହେଲେ ବାନ୍ଧି ପାରୁ ନଥିଲେ। ଏପରିକି ଶିକୁଳି ରେ ମଧ୍ଯ ତାକୁ ବାନ୍ଧି ପାରୁ ନଥିଲେ।
4 କାରଣ ତାହାକୁ ଅଧିକାଂଶ ସମୟରେ ହାତକଡି ଓ ବଡେି ଦ୍ବାରା ବାନ୍ଧି ଦିଆଯାଉଥିଲା। କିନ୍ତୁ ସେ ହାତକଡିକୁ ଛିଣ୍ଡାଇ ଖାଲିେ ଦେଉଥିଲା ଓ ଶିକୁଳିକୁ ଖଣ୍ଡ-ଖଣ୍ଡ କରି ଛିଣ୍ଡାଇ ଦେଉଥିଲା। କହେି ହେଲେ ତାକୁ ନିୟନ୍ତ୍ରିତ କରିପାରୁ ନ ଥିଲେ।
5 ସେ ଦିନରାତି ସଦା ବେଳେ କବର ଓ ପାହାଡ ରେ ଥାଇ ଚିତ୍କାର କରୁଥିଲା ଓ ନିଜକୁ ପଥର ରେ କ୍ଷତ ବିକ୍ଷତ କରି ପକାଉଥିଲା।
6 ଲୋକଟି ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କୁ ଦୂରରୁ ଦେଖି ତାହାଙ୍କ ପାଖକୁ ଧାଇଁ ଆସିଲା ଓ ପ୍ରଣାମ କରି ତାହାଙ୍କ ଆଗ ରେ ପଡିଗଲା।
7 ଯୀଶୁ ଲହେି ଲୋକକୁ କହିଲେ, ରେ ଦୁଷ୍ଟାତ୍ମା, ଏହି ଲୋକ ଦହରେୁ ବାହାରି ଆ।
8 ଯୀଶୁ ଏପରି କରିବା ଦ୍ବାରା ସହେି ଲୋକ ବଡ ପାଟି ରେ ଚିତ୍କାର କରି କହିଲା, ସବୁଠାରୁ ମହାନ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ପୁତ୍ର ହେ ଯୀଶୁ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମାେ ଠାରୁ କ'ଣ ଚାହୁଁଛ? ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ମୁଁ ଅନୁରୋଧ କରୁଛି, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମାେତେ ହଇରାଣ କରନାହିଁ।
9 ଯୀଶୁ ତାକୁ ପଚାରିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭ ନାମ କ'ଣ?
10 ସହେି ଦୁଷ୍ଟାଚ୍ମାମାନେ ବାରମ୍ବାର କାକୁତି ମିନତି ହାଇେ ଭିକ୍ଷା ମାଗିଲେ ଯେ ସେ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ସହେି ଅଞ୍ଚଳର ବାହାରକୁ ପଠଇେ ନ ଦିଅନ୍ତୁ।
11 ସହେି ପାହାଡ କଡ ରେ ସେତବେେଳେ ଘୁଷୁରିଙ୍କର ଗୋଟିଏ ବଡ ପଲ ଚରୁଥିଲା।
12 ଦୁଷ୍ଟାତ୍ମାମାନେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କୁ ଅନୁରୋଧ କଲେ, ଆମ୍ଭକୁ ଘୁଷୁରିମାନଙ୍କ ପାଖକୁ ପଠଇେ ଦିଅ, ତାହାଲେ ଆମ୍ଭେ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ଦହେ ଭିତ ରେ ପ୍ରବେଶ କରିୟିବୁ।
13 ଯୀଶୁ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ଏପରି କରିବାକୁ ଅନୁମତି ଦଇେ ଦେଲେ। ତା'ପରେ ଦୁଷ୍ଟାତ୍ମାମାନେ ସହେି ଲୋକଟି ଦହରେୁ ବାହାରି ଘୁଷୁରିମାନଙ୍କ ଦହେ ରେ ପଶିଗଲେ। ସହେି ଘୁଷୁରି ପଲ ରେ ପ୍ରାୟ ଦୁଇ ହଜାର ଘୁଷୁରି ଥିଲେ। ସେ ସବୁତକ ଘୁଷୁରି ପାହାଡ କଡକୁ ଖୁବ୍ ବଗେ ରେ ଧାଇଁଲେ ଓ ହ୍ରଦ ଭିତ ରେ ପଡି ଗଲେ। ସବୁତକ ଘୁଷୁରି ପାଣି ରେ ବୁଡିଗଲେ।
14 ଘୁଷୁରି ପଲର ଜଗୁଆଳମାନେ ପଳଇେ ଯାଇ ସହର ରେ ଏହି ଘଟଣା ବିଷୟ ରେ କହିଲେ। ଲୋକେ କ'ଣ ଘଟିଛି ବୋଲି ଦେଖିବାକୁ ଆସିଲେ।
15 ସମାନେେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ପାଖ ରେ ପହଞ୍ଚି ଦେଖିଲେ ଯାହା ଦହେ ରେ ବାହିନୀଭୂତ ପ୍ରବେଶ କରିଥିଲା, ସେ ଲୋକଟି ଲୁଗାପଟା ପିନ୍ଧି ଭଲ ଭାବରେ ବସିଛି। ତାହାର ମନ ଭଲ ହାଇେ ଯାଇଛି। ଏହା ଦେଖି ସମାନେେ ଭୟଭୀତ ହେଲେ।
16 ସଠାେରେ କେତକେ ଲୋକ ଥିଲେ, ଯେଉଁମାନେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ କାର୍ୟ୍ଯ ଦେଖିଥିଲେ। ସମାନେେ ଅନ୍ୟ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ଆଗ ରେ ଦୁଷ୍ଟାତ୍ମା ଭୂତଗ୍ରସ୍ତ ଲୋକଟିର ଓ ଘୁଷୁରିମାନଙ୍କର କ'ଣ ହେଲା, ସେ ସବୁ ବର୍ଣ୍ଣନା କଲେ।
17 ତା'ପରେ ସେ ଲୋକମାନେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କୁ ସେ ଅଞ୍ଚଳ ଛାଡି ଚାଲିୟିବାକୁ ଅନୁରୋଧ କଲେ।
18 ଯୀଶୁ ଡଙ୍ଗା ରେ ବସି ଚାଲି ୟିବାକୁ ପ୍ରସ୍ତୁତ ହେଲେ। ୟିଏ ପୂର୍ବରୁ ଦୁଷ୍ଟାତ୍ମା ଦ୍ବାରା ଆକ୍ରାନ୍ତ ହାଇେଥିଲା, ସେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ସହିତ ୟିବାକୁ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ଅନୁ ରୋଧ କଲା।
19 କିନ୍ତୁ ଯୀଶୁ ତାହାକୁ ଯୀବାପାଇଁ ଅନୁମତି ଦେଲେ ନାହିଁ। ଯୀଶୁ କହିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ତୁମ୍ଭର ଘରକୁ, ଆତ୍ମୀୟ -ସ୍ବଜନଙ୍କ ପାଖକୁ ଯାଅ। ପ୍ରଭୁ ତୁମ୍ଭ ପାଇଁ ଯାହା କରିଛନ୍ତି, ସେ ସମସ୍ତ କଥା ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ କୁହ। ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ କୁହ ଯେ ପ୍ରଭୁ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଦୟା କରିଛନ୍ତି।
20 ତେଣୁ ସେ ଚାଲିଗଲା ଓ ଦକୋପଲି ଅଞ୍ଚଳର ଲୋକଙ୍କୁ କହିବାକୁ ଲାଗିଲା ଯେ ଯୀଶୁ କିପରି ତା ପାଇଁ କେତେ ବଡ କାମ କରିଛନ୍ତି। ସମସ୍ତ ଲୋକ ଏ କଥା ଶୁଣି ଆଶ୍ଚର୍ୟ୍ଯ ହାଇଗେଲେ।
21 ଯୀଶୁ ନେ ୗକା ରେ ବସି ହ୍ରଦର ଅପର ପାଶର୍ବକୁ ଫରେିଗଲେ। ପୁଣି ହ୍ରଦ କୂଳ ରେ ତାହାଙ୍କ ଚାରି ପଟେ ବହୁତ ଲୋକ ଜମିଗଲେ।
22 ଯୀହୂଦୀ ସମାଜଗୃହର ଜଣେ ଅଧିକାରୀ ସଠାେକୁ ଆସିଲେ। ତାହାଙ୍କ ନାମ ଯାଈରସ ଥିଲା। ଯାଈରସ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କୁ ଦେଖିବା ମାତ୍ ରେ ତାହାଙ୍କ ପାଦ ତଳେ ପଡିଗଲେ।
23 ସେ କାକୁତି ମିନତି ହାଇେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କୁ ଭିକ୍ଷା ମାଗିଲେ, ମାରେ େଛାଟ ଝିଅ ମରିବା ଉପରେ। ଦୟା କରି ଆପଣ ଆସି ତା' ଉପରେ ହାତ ରଖନ୍ତୁ, ତା ହେଲେ ସେ ସୁସ୍ଥ ହାଇଯେିବ ଓ ଜୀବନ ପାଇବ।
24 ଯୀଶୁ ଯାଈରସଙ୍କ ସାଥୀ ରେ ବାହାରିଲେ। ଅନକେ ଲୋକ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ପେଛ ପେଛ ଗଲେ। ଭିଡ ହାଇେଥିବା ୟୋଗୁ ଲୋକେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ଆଡକୁ ମାଡି ଆସୁ ଥିଲେ।
25 ସଠାେରେ ଲୋକଙ୍କ ଭିତ ରେ ଜଣେ ସ୍ତ୍ରୀ ଲୋକ ଥିଲା। ବିଗତ ବାରବର୍ଷ ଧରି ତା'ର ରକ୍ତସ୍ରାବ ହେଉଥିଲା।
26 ଅନକେ ଚିକିତ୍ସକଙ୍କ ଦ୍ବାରା ଚିକିତ୍ସା କରାଇ ସାରିବା ପରେ ସେ ନିରାଶ ହାଇେ ପଡିଥିଲା। ସେ ବହୁତ କଷ୍ଟ ପାଉଥିଲା। ତା'ର ସମସ୍ତ ଟଙ୍କା ଖର୍ଚ୍ଚ ହାଇେ ଯାଇଥିଲା। ତଥାପି ତା'ର ସ୍ବାସ୍ଥ୍ଯ ରେ କୌଣସି ଉନ୍ନତି ଘଟୁ ନଥିଲା। ବରଂ ତା'ର ଦହେ ଅତ୍ଯଧିକ ଖରାପ ହାଇେ ଯାଉଥିଲା।
27 ସହେି ସ୍ତ୍ରୀ ଲୋକଟି ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ବିଷୟ ରେ ଶୁଣିବା ପରେ ଲୋକଙ୍କ ସହିତ ତାହାଙ୍କର ଅନୁସରଣ କଲା। ସେ ପଛ ପଟରୁ ଆସି ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ନିକଟତର ହେଲା ଓ ତାହାଙ୍କ ବସ୍ତ୍ର ଛୁଇଁ ଦଲୋ।
28 ସେ ମନମେନେ ହୁଥିଲା, ଯଦି ମୁଁ ଖାଲି ଟିକିଏ ତାହାଙ୍କ ବସ୍ତ୍ର ଛୁଁଇ ପାରିବି ତବେେ ଭଲ ହଇୟିବେି।
29 ସେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ବସ୍ତ୍ର ଛୁଇଁବା ମାତ୍ ରେ ତାର ରକ୍ତସ୍ରାବ ବନ୍ଦ ହାଇଗେଲା ଓ ତାର ଶରୀର ରେ ରୋଗ ଭଲ ହାଇଗେଲା ବୋଲି ସେ ଅନୁଭବ କଲା।
30 ସହେି ସମୟରେ ଯୀଶୁ ଅନୁଭବ କଲେ ଯେ ତାହାଙ୍କ ଠାରୁ ଶକ୍ତି ବାହାରି ଯାଇଛି। ସେ ଅଟକି ଗଲେ ଓ ପଛକୁ ବୁଲି ପଡି ପଚାରିଲେ, ମାରେ ବସ୍ତ୍ର କିଏ ଛୁଇଁଲା।
31 ଶିଷ୍ଯମାନେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ଏଠା ରେ ତ ଅନକେ ଲୋକ ଆପଣଙ୍କ ଆଡକୁ ଠଲେି ହାଇେ ଯାଉଛନ୍ତି। ପୁଣି ଆପଣ ପଗ୍ଭରୁଛନ୍ତି, ମାେତେ କିଏ ଛୁଇଁଲା?
32 କିନ୍ତୁ ଯୀଶୁ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ କେଉଁ ଲୋକ ଛୁଇଁଲା ବୋଲି ଚାରିଆଡକୁ ଦେଖିବାକୁ ଲାଗିଲେ।
33 ସହେି ସ୍ତ୍ରୀ ଲୋକଟି ଜାଣିଥିଲା ଯେ ସେ ଭଲ ହାଇଯୋଇଛି, ତେଣୁ ସେ ଆଗକୁ ଆସି ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ପାଦ ତଳେ ପଡିଗଲା। ସେ ଭୟ ରେ ଥରୁଥିଲା। ସେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କୁ ସବୁ କଥା କହିଲା।
34 ଯୀଶୁ ତାକୁ କହିଲେ, ଆଗୋ ନାରୀ; ତୁମ୍ଭର ବିଶ୍ବାସ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ସୁସ୍ଥ କରି ଦଇେଛି। ଶାନ୍ତି ରେ ଯାଅ ଏବଂ ତୁମ୍ଭ ରୋଗରୁ ମୁକ୍ତ ହୁଅ।
35 ଯୀଶୁ ସଠାେରେ ଏସବୁ କହୁଥିବା ସମୟରେ ଯିହୂଦୀ ସମାଜ ଗୃହର ଅଧିକାରୀ ଯାଈରସଙ୍କ ଘରୁ କେତକେ ଲୋକ ଆସି ତାହାଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭର ଝିଅ ମରିଗଲାଣି। ବର୍ତ୍ତମାନ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଗୁରୁ(ଯୀଶୁ)ଙ୍କୁ ଅଯଥା ରେ ଆଉ କାହିଁକି ହଇରାଣ କରିବ?
36 କିନ୍ତୁ ଯୀଶୁ ସମାନଙ୍କେ କଥା ଶୁଣିସାରି ଯୀହୂଦୀ ସମାଜ ଗୃହର ଅଧିକାରୀଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ଭୟ କର ନାହିଁ, କବଳେ ବିଶ୍ବାସ କର।
37 ତା'ପରେ ସେ ସମସ୍ତଙ୍କୁ ଛାଡି କବଳେ ପିତର, ଯାକୁବ ଓ ତାହାଙ୍କ ଭାଇ ଯୋହନଙ୍କୁ ସାଙ୍ଗ ରେ ନେଲେ।
38 ସମାନେେ ଯିହୂଦୀ ସମାଜ ଗୃହର ଅଧିକାରୀଙ୍କ ଘରକୁ ଗଲେ। ସେ ସଠାେରେ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଉଚ୍ଚ ସ୍ବର ରେ ବିଳାପ କରୁଥିବାର ଦେଖିଲେ। ସଠାେରେ ବହୁତ କୋଳାହଳ ହେଉଥିଲା।
39 ଯୀଶୁ ଘର ଭିତ ରେ ପ୍ରବେଶ କରି ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ସବୁ କାହିଁକି ଏତେ ପାଟିତୁଣ୍ଡ ଓ କନ୍ଦାକଟା କରୁଛ? ଏ ପିଲାଟି ମରି ନାହିଁ, ସେ କବଳେ ଶୋଇ ଯାଇଛି।
40 ଏହା ଶୁଣି ସବୁ ଲୋକ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କୁ ପରିହାସ କଲେ। କିନ୍ତୁ ସେ ସମସ୍ତଙ୍କୁ ଘରର ବାହାରକୁ ପଠଇେ ଦେଲେ। କବଳେ ପିଲାଟିର ବାପା-ମାଆ ଓ ତାହାଙ୍କ ସହିତ ଆସିଥିବା ଶିଷ୍ଯମାନଙ୍କୁ ସାଙ୍ଗ ରେ ନଇେ ପିଲାଟି ଯେଉଁ କଠାେରୀ ରେ ଥିଲା, ସହେି କଠାେରୀକୁ ଗଲେ।
41 ତା'ପରେ ଯୀଶୁ ଝିଅଟିର ହାତ ଧରି ତାହାକୁ କହିଲେ, ଟଲିଥା, କୂମ୍ ଅର୍ଥାତ୍ ହେ ଝିଅ, ମୁଁ ତୋତେ କହୁଛି ଉଠ। ଝିଅଟି ସଙ୍ଗେ ସଙ୍ଗେ ଉଠି ଠିଆ ହେଲା ଓ ଚାଲିବାକୁ ଆରମ୍ଭ କଲା। ଝିଅଟିର ବୟସ ବାର ବର୍ଷ ଥିଲା।
42 ତା'ର ବାପା-ମାଆ ଓ ଶିଷ୍ଯମାନେ ଅତ୍ଯନ୍ତ ଆଶ୍ଚର୍ୟ୍ଯ ହାଇଗେଲେ।
43 ଯୀଶୁ ଏ କଥା ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ନ କହିବା ପାଇଁ ଝିଅର ବାପା-ମାଆଙ୍କୁ ଦୃଢ ଭାବରେ ନିର୍ଦ୍ଦେଶ ଦେଲେ। ତା ପରେ ଯୀଶୁ ଝିଅଟିର ବାପା-ମାଆଙ୍କୁ ଝିଅକୁ କିଛି ଖାଇବାକୁ ଦବୋକୁ କହିଲେ।
1 And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.
2 And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,
3 Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains:
4 Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him.
5 And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones.
6 But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him,
7 And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.
8 For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.
9 And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.
10 And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country.
11 Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding.
12 And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.
13 And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea.
14 And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done.
15 And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.
16 And they that saw it told them how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil, and also concerning the swine.
17 And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts.
18 And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him.
19 Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee.
20 And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel.
21 And when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto the other side, much people gathered unto him: and he was nigh unto the sea.
22 And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet,
23 And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death: I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live.
24 And Jesus went with him; and much people followed him, and thronged him.
25 And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,
26 And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,
27 When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.
28 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.
29 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.
30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?
31 And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?
32 And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.
33 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.
34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.
35 While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue’s house certain which said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further?
36 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.
37 And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.
38 And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly.
39 And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.
40 And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all out, he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying.
41 And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise.
42 And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.
43 And he charged them straitly that no man should know it; and commanded that something should be given her to eat.
1 And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into his own city.
2 And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.
3 And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth.
4 And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?
5 For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk?
6 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.
7 And he arose, and departed to his house.
8 But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men.
9 And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.
10 And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.
11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?
12 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.
13 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
14 Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?
15 And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast.
16 No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse.
17 Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.
18 While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.
19 And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples.
20 And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment:
21 For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.
22 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.
23 And when Jesus came into the ruler’s house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise,
24 He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.
25 But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose.
26 And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.
27 And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us.
28 And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord.
29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.
30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it.
31 But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country.
32 As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil.
33 And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.
34 But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils.
35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.
36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.
37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;
38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.
