Matthew 9:1-13 TLB
Matthew 9:1-13 So Jesus climbed into a boat and went across the lake to Capernaum, his hometown.
Soon some men brought him a paralyzed man on a mat. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the sick man, “Cheer up, son! For I have forgiven your sins!”
“Blasphemy! This man is saying he is God!” exclaimed some of the religious leaders to themselves.
Jesus knew what they were thinking and asked them, “Why are you thinking such evil thoughts?
I, the Messiah, have the authority on earth to forgive sins. But talk is cheap—anybody could say that.
So I’ll prove it to you by healing this man.” Then, turning to the paralyzed man, he commanded, “Pick up your stretcher and go on home, for you are healed.”
And the man jumped up and left!
A chill of fear swept through the crowd as they saw this happen right before their eyes. How they praised God for giving such authority to a man!
As Jesus was going on down the road, he saw a tax collector, Matthew, sitting at a tax collection booth. “Come and be my disciple,” Jesus said to him, and Matthew jumped up and went along with him.
Later, as Jesus and his disciples were eating dinner at Matthew’s house, there were many notorious swindlers there as guests!
The Pharisees were indignant. “Why does your teacher associate with men like that?”
“Because people who are well don’t need a doctor! It’s the sick people who do!” was Jesus’ reply. Then he added, “Now go away and learn the meaning of this verse of Scripture,
‘It isn’t your sacrifices and your gifts I want—I want you to be merciful.’ For I have come to urge sinners, not the self-righteous, back to God.”
Matthew 12:22-30 Then a demon-possessed man—he was both blind and unable to talk—was brought to Jesus, and Jesus healed him so that he could both speak and see.
The crowd was amazed. “Maybe Jesus is the Messiah!” they exclaimed.
But when the Pharisees heard about the miracle, they said, “He can cast out demons because he is Satan, king of devils.”
Jesus knew their thoughts and replied, “A divided kingdom ends in ruin. A city or home divided against itself cannot stand.
And if Satan is casting out Satan, he is fighting himself and destroying his own kingdom.
And if, as you claim, I am casting out demons by invoking the powers of Satan, then what power do your own people use when they cast them out? Let them answer your accusation!
But if I am casting out demons by the Spirit of God, then the Kingdom of God has arrived among you.
One cannot rob Satan’s kingdom without first binding Satan. Only then can his demons be cast out!
Anyone who isn’t helping me is harming me.
Mark 2:3-5 Four men arrived carrying a paralyzed man on a stretcher.
They couldn’t get to Jesus through the crowd, so they dug through the clay roof above his head and lowered the sick man on his stretcher, right down in front of Jesus.
When Jesus saw how strongly they believed that he would help, Jesus said to the sick man, “Son, your sins are forgiven!”
Luke 5:18-20 Then—look! Some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a sleeping mat. They tried to push through the crowd to Jesus but couldn’t reach him.
So they went up on the roof above him, took off some tiles, and lowered the sick man down into the crowd, still on his sleeping mat, right in front of Jesus.
Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the man, “My friend, your sins are forgiven!”
Matthew 11:16-19 “What shall I say about this nation? These people are like children playing, who say to their little friends,
‘We played wedding and you weren’t happy, so we played funeral but you weren’t sad.’
For John the Baptist doesn’t even drink wine and often goes without food, and you say, ‘He’s crazy.’
And I, the Messiah, feast and drink, and you complain that I am ‘a glutton and a drinking man, and hang around with the worst sort of sinners!’ But brilliant men like you can justify your every inconsistency!”
Hosea 6:6 “I don’t want your sacrifices—I want your love; I don’t want your offerings—I want you to know me.
Matthew 12:7-8 But if you had known the meaning of this Scripture verse, ‘I want you to be merciful more than I want your offerings,’ you would not have condemned those who aren’t guilty!
For I, the Messiah, am master even of the Sabbath.”
