Matthew 9:1-13 WMB


Matthew 9:1-13 He entered into a boat and crossed over, and came into his own city. 

Behold, they brought to him a man who was paralyzed, lying on a bed. Yeshua, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, “Son, cheer up! Your sins are forgiven you.”

Behold, some of the scribes said to themselves, “This man blasphemes.”


Yeshua, knowing their thoughts, said, “Why do you think evil in your hearts? 


For which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven;’ or to say, ‘Get up, and walk?’ 


But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins—” (then he said to the paralytic), “Get up, and take up your mat, and go to your house.”


He arose and departed to his house. 


But when the multitudes saw it, they marveled and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.


As Yeshua passed by from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax collection office. He said to him, “Follow me.” He got up and followed him. 


As he sat in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with Yeshua and his disciples. 


When the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, “Why does your rabbi eat with tax collectors and sinners?”


When Yeshua heard it, he said to them, “Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do. 


But you go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”

Matthew 12:22-30 Then one possessed by a demon, blind and mute, was brought to him; and he healed him, so that the blind and mute man both spoke and saw. 

All the multitudes were amazed, and said, “Can this be the son of David?” 

But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, “This man does not cast out demons except by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.”

Knowing their thoughts, Yeshua said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand. 


If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand? 


If I by Beelzebul cast out demons, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges. 


But if I by the Spirit of God cast out demons, then God’s Kingdom has come upon you. 


Or how can one enter into the house of the strong man and plunder his goods, unless he first bind the strong man? Then he will plunder his house.


“He who is not with me is against me, and he who doesn’t gather with me, scatters. 

Mark 2:3-5 Four people came, carrying a paralytic to him. 

When they could not come near to him for the crowd, they removed the roof where he was. When they had broken it up, they let down the mat that the paralytic was lying on. 

Yeshua, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.”

Luke 5:18-20 Behold, men brought a paralyzed man on a cot, and they sought to bring him in to lay before Yeshua. 

Not finding a way to bring him in because of the multitude, they went up to the housetop and let him down through the tiles with his cot into the middle before Yeshua. 

Seeing their faith, he said to him, “Man, your sins are forgiven you.”

Matthew 11:16-19 “But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces, who call to their companions 

and say, ‘We played the flute for you, and you didn’t dance. We mourned for you, and you didn’t lament.’ 

For Yochanan came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’ 

The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Behold, a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ But wisdom is justified by her children.”

Hosea 6:6 For I desire mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.

Matthew 12:7-8 But if you had known what this means, ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ you wouldn’t have condemned the guiltless. 

For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
