Matthew 9
1 Jesus got into a boat, crossed over, and came to His own town.
ⲁ̅ⲁϥⲁⲗⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲡϫⲟⲓ ⲁϥϫⲓⲟⲟⲣ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉϥⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲙⲙⲓⲛ ⲙⲙⲟϥ
2 Just then some men brought to Him a paralytic lying on a mat. When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Take courage, son; your sins are forgiven.”
ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲓⲥ ϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉϥⲥⲏϭ ⲉϥⲛⲏϫ ϩⲓϫⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲁ ⲛⲛⲕⲟⲧⲕ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲧⲉⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲥⲏϭ ϫⲉ ⲧⲱⲕ ⲙⲙⲟⲕ ⲡⲁϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲉⲕⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲕⲏ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ
3 On seeing this, some of the scribes said to themselves, “This man is blaspheming!”
ⲅ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲓⲥ ϩⲟⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲅⲣⲁⲙⲙⲁⲧⲉⲩⲥ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉϥϫⲓⲟⲩⲁ
4 But Jesus knew what they were thinking and said, “Why do you harbor evil in your hearts?
ⲇ̅ⲓⲏⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲉϥⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲛⲉⲩⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲁϩⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲉϩⲉⲛⲡⲉⲑⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲛϩⲏⲧ
5 Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk?’
ⲉ̅ⲁϣ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉⲧⲙⲟⲧⲛ ⲉϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲕⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲕⲏ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲛⲉϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ϫⲉ ⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲅⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ
6 But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins...” Then He said to the paralytic, “Get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”
ⲋ̅ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉⲉⲓⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛⲧⲉⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲓϫⲙ ⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲉⲕⲁⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲥⲏϭ ϫⲉ ⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲅϥⲓ ⲙⲡⲉⲕϭⲗⲟϭ ⲛⲅⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲡⲉⲕⲏⲓ
7 And the man got up and went home.
ⲍ̅ⲁϥⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲏⲓ
8 When the crowds saw this, they were filled with awe and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.

9 As Jesus went on from there, He saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax booth. “Follow Me,” He told him, and Matthew got up and followed Him.

10 Later, as Jesus was dining at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with Him and His disciples.
ⲓ̅ⲁⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉϥⲛⲏϫ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉϥⲏⲓ ⲉⲓⲥ ϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲛⲉⲩⲛϩⲁϩ ⲛⲧⲉⲗⲱⲛⲏⲥ ϩⲓⲣⲉϥⲣⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲉⲩⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩϫⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ
11 When the Pharisees saw this, they asked His disciples, “Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲁⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲉⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲥⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ⲛⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲥⲁϩ ⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲗⲱⲛⲏⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲣⲉϥⲣⲛⲟⲃⲉ
12 On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲧⲏⲕ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲣⲭⲣⲓⲁ ⲙⲡⲥⲁⲉⲓⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲕϩ ⲛⲉ
13 But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲃⲱⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉⲓⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲓⲟⲩⲉϣⲟⲩⲛⲁ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲉⲟⲩⲑⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲛⲧⲁⲓⲉⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲧⲉϩⲙⲛⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲣⲉϥⲣⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲉⲩⲙⲉⲧⲁⲛⲟⲓⲁ
14 At that time John’s disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Why is it that we and the Pharisees fast so often, but Your disciples do not fast?”
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲁⲩϯⲡⲉⲩⲟⲩⲟⲓ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲙⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲛⲓⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲥⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲧⲛⲛⲏⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲛϩⲁϩ ⲛⲥⲟⲡ ⲛⲉⲕⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲥⲉⲛⲏⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲁⲛ
15 Jesus replied, “How can the guests of the bridegroom mourn while He is with them? But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲏ ⲟⲩⲛϭⲟⲙ ⲛⲛⲉϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲙⲁ ⲧϣⲉⲗⲉⲉⲧ ⲉⲛⲏⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲫⲟⲥⲟⲛ ⲡⲁⲧϣⲉⲗⲉⲉⲧ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲥⲉⲛⲏⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ϩⲉⲛϩⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲟⲧⲁⲛ ⲉⲩϣⲁⲛϥⲓ ⲙⲡⲁⲧϣⲉⲗⲉⲉⲧ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲛⲏⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ
16 No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. For the patch will pull away from the garment, and a worse tear will result.

17 Neither do men pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst, the wine will spill, and the wineskins will be ruined. Instead, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.”
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙⲉⲩⲛⲉϫⲙⲣⲓⲥ ⲉϩⲱⲧ ⲛⲁⲥ ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ϣⲁⲩⲡⲱϩ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛϩⲱⲧ ⲛⲧⲉⲡⲏⲣⲡ ⲡⲱⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲕⲉϩⲱⲧ ⲧⲁⲕⲟ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛϣⲁⲩⲛⲉϫⲏⲣⲡ ⲛⲃⲣⲣⲉ ⲉⲁⲥⲕⲟⲥ ⲛⲃⲣⲣⲉ ⲛⲥⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲩⲟⲩⲟϫ ⲙⲡⲉⲥⲛⲁⲩ
18 While Jesus was saying these things, a synagogue leader came and knelt before Him. “My daughter has just died,” he said. “But come and place Your hand on her, and she will live.”
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲓⲥ ϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲉⲓⲥ ⲟⲩⲁⲣⲭⲱⲛ ⲁϥϯ ⲡⲉϥⲟⲩⲟⲓ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲧ ⲛⲁϥ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲧⲁϣⲉⲉⲣⲉ ⲙⲟⲩ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⲛⲅⲧⲁⲗⲟ ⲛⲧⲉⲕϭⲓϫ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲱⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲥⲛⲁⲱⲛϩ
19 So Jesus got up and went with him, along with His disciples.

20 Suddenly a woman who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His cloak.

21 She said to herself, “If only I touch His cloak, I will be healed.”

22 Jesus turned and saw her. “Take courage, daughter,” He said, “your faith has healed you.” And the woman was cured from that very hour.

23 When Jesus entered the house of the synagogue leader, He saw the flute players and the noisy crowd.
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲉⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲡⲏⲓ ⲙⲡⲁⲣⲭⲱⲛ ⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲛⲣⲉϥϫⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲉⲩϣⲧⲣⲧⲱⲣ
24 “Go away,” He told them. “The girl is not dead, but asleep.” And they laughed at Him.

25 After the crowd had been put outside, Jesus went in and took the girl by the hand, and she got up.

26 And the news about this spread throughout that region.

27 As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!”

28 After Jesus had entered the house, the blind men came to Him. “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” He asked. “Yes, Lord,” they answered.

29 Then He touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith will it be done to you.”

31 But they went out and spread the news about Him throughout the land.

32 As they were leaving, a demon-possessed man who was mute was brought to Jesus.

33 And when the demon had been driven out, the man began to speak. The crowds were amazed and said, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!”

35 Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness.

36 When He saw the crowds, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.
