Matthew 9:1-13 ETR
Jesus Heals a Crippled Man
Matthew 9:1-13 Jesus got into a boat and went back across the lake to his own town.
Some people brought to him a man who was paralyzed and was lying on a mat. Jesus saw that these people had much faith. So he said to the paralyzed man, “Young man, you will be glad to hear this. Your sins are forgiven.”
Some of the teachers of the law heard what Jesus said. They said to themselves, “What an insult to God for this man to say that!”
Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he said, “Why are you thinking such evil thoughts?
The Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins. But how can I prove this to you? Maybe you are thinking it was easy for me to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven.’ There’s no proof that it really happened.
But what if I say to the man, ‘Stand up and walk’? Then you will be able to see that I really have this power.” So Jesus said to the paralyzed man, “Stand up. Take your mat and go home.”
The man stood up and went home.
The people saw this and they were amazed. They praised God for letting someone have such power.
Matthew (Levi) Follows Jesus
When Jesus was leaving, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the place for collecting taxes. Jesus said to him, “Follow me.” So he got up and followed Jesus.
Jesus ate dinner at Matthew’s house. Many tax collectors and others with bad reputations came and ate with him and his followers.
The Pharisees saw that Jesus was eating with these people. They asked his followers, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and other sinners?”
Jesus heard them say this. So he said to them, “It is the sick people who need a doctor, not those who are healthy.
You need to go and learn what this Scripture means: ‘I don’t want animal sacrifices; I want you to show kindness to people.’ I did not come to invite good people. I came to invite sinners.”
Jesus’ Power Is From God
Matthew 12:22-30
Then some people brought a man to Jesus. This man was blind and could not talk, because he had a demon inside him. Jesus healed the man, and he could talk and see.
All the people were amazed at what Jesus did. They said, “Maybe he is the promised Son of David!”
When the Pharisees heard this, they said, “This man uses the power of Satan to force demons out of people. Satan is the ruler of demons.”
Jesus knew what the Pharisees were thinking. So he said to them, “Every kingdom that fights against itself will be destroyed. And every city or family that is divided against itself will not survive.
So if Satan forces out his own demons, then he is fighting against himself, and his kingdom will not survive.
You say that I use the power of Satan to force out demons. If that is true, then what power do your people use when they force out demons? So your own people will prove that you are wrong.
But I use the power of God’s Spirit to force out demons, and this shows that God’s kingdom has come to you.
Whoever wants to enter a strong man’s house and steal his things must first tie him up. Then they can steal the things from his house.
Whoever is not with me is against me. And anyone who does not work with me is working against me.
Mark 2:3-5 some people brought a paralyzed man to see him. He was being carried by four of them.
But they could not get the man inside to Jesus because the house was so full of people. So they went to the roof above Jesus and made a hole in it. Then they lowered the mat with the paralyzed man on it.
When Jesus saw how much faith they had, he said to the paralyzed man, “Young man, your sins are forgiven.”
