Matthew 9

When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the man, "Take heart, son; your sins are forgiven." v. 2

He said to the paralyzed man, "Get up, take your mat and go home."  Then the man got up and went home.  v. 6b-7

The Pharisees asked his disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?"  On hearing this, Jesus said, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.  But go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.'  For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners." v. 11-13

She said to herself, "If only I touch his cloak, I will be healed."  Jesus turned and saw her.  "Take heart daughter," he said, "your faith has healed you." v. 21-22a

He said, "Go away.  The girl is not dead but asleep."  But they laughed at him.  After the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took the girl by the hand, and she got up. v. 24-25

And when the demon was driven out, the man who had been mute spoke.  The crowd was amazed and said, "Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel." v. 33

When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.  Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.  Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field."  v. 36-38
