Matthew 9:1-13 Amplified
A Paralytic Healed
Matthew 9:1-13 AND JESUS, getting into a boat, crossed over the Sea of Galilee and came to [Capernaum] His own city.
They brought to Him a man who was paralyzed, lying on a stretcher. Seeing their [active] faith [springing from confidence in Him], Jesus said to the paralytic, "Do not be afraid, son; your sins are forgiven [the penalty is paid, the guilt removed, and you are declared to be in right standing with God]."
And some of the scribes said to themselves, "This man blasphemes [by claiming the rights and prerogatives of God]!"
But Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, "Why do you think evil in your hearts?
"For which is easier, to say, 'Your sins are forgiven and the penalty paid,' or to say, 'Get up and walk'? [Both are possible for God; both are impossible for man.]
"But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority and the power on earth to forgive sins"--then He said to the paralytic, "Get up, pick up your stretcher and go home,"
And he got up and went home [healed and forgiven].
When the crowds saw this, they were awestruck, and glorified God and praised Him, who had given such authority and power to men,
Matthew Called
As Jesus went on from there, He saw a man named Matthew (Levi) sitting in the tax collector's booth; and he said to him, "Follow Me [as My disciple, accepting Me as your Master and Teacher and walking the same path of life that I walk]." And Matthew got up and followed Him.
Then as Jesus was reclining at the table in Matthew's house, many tax collectors and sinners [including non-observant Jews] came and ate with him and His disciples.
When the Pharisees saw this, they asked His disciples, "Why does your Master eat with tax collectors and sinners?"
But when Jesus heard this, He said, "Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but [only] those who are sick.
"Go and learn what this [Scripture] means: 'I desire compassion [for those in distress], and not [animal] sacrifice," for I did not come to call [to repentance] the [self-proclaimed] righteous [who see no need to change], but sinners [those who recognize their sin and actively seek forgiveness]"
The Pharisees Rebuked
Matthew 12:22-30 Then a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute was brought to Jesus, and He healed him, so that the mute man both spoke and saw,
All the people wondered in amazement, and said, "Could this be the Son of David (the Messiah)!"
But the Pharisees heard it and said, "This man casts out demons only only by [the help of] Beelzebul (Satan) the prince of demons."
Knowing their thoughts Jesus said to them, "Any kingdom that is divided against itself is being laid waste; and no city or house divided against itself will [continue to] stand.
"If Satan cast out Satan [that is, his demons], he has become divided against himself and disunited; how then will his kingdom stand?
"If I cast out the demons by [the help of] Beelzebul (Satan), by whom do your sins drive them out? For this reason they will be your judges.
"But if it is by the Spirit of God that I cast out the demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you [before you expected it].
"Or how can anyone go into a strong man's house and steal his property unless he first over powers and ties up the strong man? Then he will ransack and rob his house.
The Unpardonable Sin
"He who is not with Me [once and for all on My side] is against Me; and he who does not [unequivocally] gather with Me scatters.
