Matthew 9:1-13 Darby's


Matthew 9:1-13 And going on board the ship, he passed over and came to his own city. 

And behold, they brought to him a paralytic, laid upon a bed; and Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, Be of good courage, child; thy sins are forgiven. 

And behold, certain of the scribes said to themselves, This man blasphemes. 

And Jesus, seeing their thoughts, said, Why do ye think evil things in your hearts? 

For which is easier: to say, Thy sins are forgiven; or to say, Rise up and walk? 

But that ye may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, (then he says to the paralytic,) Rise up, take up thy bed and go to thy house. 

And he rose up and went to his house. 

But the crowds seeing it, were in fear, and glorified God who gave such power to men.

And Jesus, passing on thence, saw a man sitting at the tax-office, called Matthew, and says to him, Follow me. And he rose up and followed him. 


And it came to pass, as he lay at table in the house, that behold, many tax-gatherers and sinners came and lay at table with Jesus and his disciples. 


And the Pharisees seeing it, said to his disciples, Why does your teacher eat with tax-gatherers and sinners? 


But Jesus hearing it, said, They that are strong have not need of a physician, but those that are ill. 


But go and learn what that is — I will have mercy and not sacrifice; for I have not come to call righteous men but sinners.

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

And all the crowds were amazed and said, Is this man the Son of David? 

But the Pharisees, having heard it, said, This man does not cast out demons, but by Beelzebub, prince of demons. 

But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not subsist. 

And if Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then shall his kingdom subsist? 

And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, your sons, by whom do they cast them out? For this reason they shall be your judges. 

But if I by the Spirit of God cast out demons, then indeed the kingdom of God is come upon you. 

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

He that is not with me is against me, and he that gathers not with me scatters. 

Mark 2:3-5 And there come to him men bringing a paralytic, borne by four; 

and, not being able to get near to him on account of the crowd, they uncovered the roof where he was, and having dug it up they let down the couch on which the paralytic lay. 

But Jesus, seeing their faith, says to the paralytic, Child, thy sins are forgiven thee.

Luke 5:18-20 And lo, men bringing upon a couch a man who was paralysed; and they sought to bring him in, and put him before him. 

And not finding what way to bring him in, on account of the crowd, going up on the housetop they let him down through the tiles, with his little couch, into the midst before Jesus. 

And seeing their faith, he said, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee. 

Matthew 11:16-19 But to whom shall I liken this generation? It is like children sitting in the markets, which, calling to their companions, 

say, We have piped to you, and ye have not danced: we have mourned to you, and ye have not wailed. 

For John has come neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He has a demon. 

The Son of man has come eating and drinking, and they say, Behold, a man that is eating and wine-drinking, a friend of tax-gatherers, and of sinners: — and wisdom has been justified by her children. 

Hosea 6:6 For I delight in loving-kindness, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt-offerings.

Matthew 12:7-8 But if ye had known what is: I will have mercy and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.

For the Son of man is Lord of the sabbath.
