< Matthew 9 >

1 And he got into a boat and went across and came to his town.
ⲁ̅ⲁϥⲁⲗⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲡϫⲟⲓ ⲁϥϫⲓⲟⲟⲣ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉϥⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲙⲙⲓⲛ ⲙⲙⲟϥ.
2 And they took to him a man stretched on a bed who had no power of moving; and Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the man who was ill, Son, take heart; you have forgiveness for your sins.
ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲓⲥϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉϥⲥⲏϭ ⲉϥⲛⲏϫ ϩⲓϫⲛⲟⲩⲙⲁ ⲛⲛⲕⲟⲧⲕ. ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲧⲉⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲥⲏϭ. ϫⲉ ⲧⲱⲕ ⲙⲙⲟⲕ ⲡⲁϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲉⲕⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲕⲏ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
3 And some of the scribes said among themselves, This man has no respect for God.
ⲅ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲓⲥϩⲟⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲫⲣⲁⲙⲙⲁⲧⲉⲩⲥ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ. ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉϥϫⲓⲟⲩⲁ.
4 And Jesus, having knowledge of what was in their minds, said, Why are your thoughts evil?
ⲇ̅ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲉϥⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲛⲉⲩⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲁϩⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲉϩⲉⲛⲡⲉⲑⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲛⲛⲉⲧⲛϩⲏⲧ.
5 For which is the simpler, to say, You have forgiveness for your sins; or to say, Get up and go?
ⲉ̅ⲁϣ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉⲧⲙⲟⲧⲛ. ⲉϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲕⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲕⲏ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲛⲉϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ϫⲉ ⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲅⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ.
6 But so that you may see that on earth the Son of man has authority for the forgiveness of sins, (then said he to the man who was ill, ) Get up, and take up your bed, and go to your house.
ⲋ̅ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉⲉⲓⲙⲉ. ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛⲧⲉⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲓϫⲙⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲉⲕⲁⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ. ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲥⲏϭ. ϫⲉ ⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲅϥⲓ ⲙⲡⲉⲕϭⲗⲟϭ ⲛⲅⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲡⲉⲕⲏⲓ.
7 And he got up and went away to his house.
ⲍ̅ⲁϥⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲏⲓ.
8 But when the people saw it they were full of fear, and gave glory to God who had given such authority to men.
ⲏ̅ⲁⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓⲙⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲁⲩⲣϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩϯⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϯⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲛⲧⲉⲓⲙⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ.
9 And when Jesus was going from there, he saw a man whose name was Matthew, seated at the place where taxes were taken; and he said to him, Come after me. And he got up and went after him.
ⲑ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲅⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉϥϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ϩⲓⲡⲉϥⲧⲉⲗⲱⲛⲓⲟⲛ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲙⲁⲑⲑⲁⲓⲟⲥ. ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲁϩⲕ ⲛⲥⲱⲓ. ⲁϥⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲁϩϥ ⲛⲥⲱϥ.
10 And it came about, when he was in the house taking food, that a number of tax-farmers and sinners came and took their places with Jesus and his disciples.
ⲓ̅ⲁⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉϥⲛⲏϫ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲙⲡⲉϥⲏⲓ. ⲉⲓⲥϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲛⲉⲩⲛϩⲁϩ ⲛⲧⲉⲗⲱⲛⲏⲥ. ϩⲓⲣⲉϥⲣⲛⲟⲃⲉ. ⲉⲩⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩϫⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲛⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ.
11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, Why does your Master take food with tax-farmers and sinners?
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲁⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓⲛⲉⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲥⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ⲛⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲟⲩ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲥⲁϩ ⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲙⲛⲛⲧⲉⲗⲱⲛⲏⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲣⲉϥⲣⲛⲟⲃⲉ.
12 But on hearing this he said, Those who are well have no need of a medical man, but those who are ill.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ. ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲧⲏⲕ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲣⲭⲣⲓⲁ ⲙⲡⲥⲁⲉⲓⲛ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲕϩ ⲛⲉ.
13 But go and take to heart the sense of these words, My desire is for mercy, not offerings: for I have come not to get the upright, but sinners.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲃⲱⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉⲓⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲓⲟⲩⲉϣⲟⲩⲛⲁ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲉⲟⲩⲑⲩⲥⲓⲁ. ⲛⲧⲁⲓⲉⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲧⲉϩⲙⲛⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲣⲉϥⲣⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲉⲩⲙⲉⲧⲁⲛⲟⲓⲁ.
14 Then the disciples of John came to him, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees frequently go without food, but your disciples do not?
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲁⲩϯⲡⲉⲩⲟⲩⲟⲓ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛϭⲓⲙⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲛⲓⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲟⲩ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲙⲛⲛⲉⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲥⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲧⲛⲛⲏⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲛϩⲁϩ ⲛⲥⲟⲡ. ⲛⲉⲕⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲥⲉⲛⲏⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲁⲛ.
15 And Jesus said to them, Will the friends of the newly-married man be sad as long as he is with them? But the days will come when he will be taken away from them, and then will they go without food.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅. ϫⲉ ⲙⲏ ⲟⲩⲛϭⲟⲙ ⲛⲛⲉϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲙⲁⲧϣⲉⲗⲉⲉⲧ ⲉⲛⲏⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲫⲟⲥⲟⲛ ⲡⲁⲧϣⲉⲗⲉⲉⲧ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲩ. ⲥⲉⲛⲏⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓϩⲉⲛϩⲟⲟⲩ. ϩⲟⲧⲁⲛ ⲉⲩϣⲁⲛϥⲓ ⲙⲡⲁⲧϣⲉⲗⲉⲉⲧ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲛⲏⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ.
16 And no man puts a bit of new cloth on an old coat, for by pulling away from the old, it makes a worse hole.

17 And men do not put new wine into old wine-skins; or the skins will be burst and the wine will come out, and the skins are of no more use: but they put new wine into new wine-skins, and so the two will be safe.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙⲉⲩⲛⲉϫⲙⲣⲓⲥ ⲉϩⲱⲧ ⲛⲁⲥ. ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ϣⲁⲩⲡⲱϩ ⲛϭⲓⲛϩⲱⲧ. ⲛⲧⲉⲡⲏⲣⲡ ⲡⲱⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲕⲉϩⲱⲧ ⲧⲁⲕⲟ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛϣⲁⲩⲛⲉϫⲏⲣⲡ ⲛⲃⲣⲣⲉ ⲉⲁⲥⲕⲟⲥ ⲛⲃⲣⲣⲉ ⲛⲥⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲩⲟⲩⲟϫ ⲙⲡⲉⲥⲛⲁⲩ.
18 While he was saying these things to them, there came a ruler and gave him worship, saying, My daughter is even now dead; but come and put your hand on her, and she will come back to life.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲓⲥϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲉⲓⲥⲟⲩⲁⲣⲭⲱⲛ ⲁϥϯⲡⲉϥⲟⲩⲟⲓ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲧ ⲛⲁϥ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲧⲁϣⲉⲉⲣⲉ ⲙⲟⲩ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⲛⲅⲧⲁⲗⲟ ⲛⲧⲉⲕϭⲓϫ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲱⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲥⲛⲁⲱⲛϩ.
19 And Jesus got up and went after him, and so did his disciples.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲁϥⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲁϩϥ ⲛⲥⲱϥ ⲙⲛⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ.
20 And a woman, who for twelve years had had a flow of blood, came after him, and put her hand on the edge of his robe:
ⲕ̅ⲉⲓⲥⲟⲩⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲥⲛⲟϥ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲥ ⲙⲙⲛⲧⲥⲛⲟⲟⲩⲥⲉ ⲛⲣⲟⲙⲡⲉ. ⲁⲥϯⲡⲉⲥⲟⲩⲟⲓ ⲡⲁϩⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲥϫⲱϩ ⲉⲡⲧⲟⲡ ⲙⲡⲉϥϩⲟⲓⲧⲉ.
21 Because, she said to herself, if I may but put my hand on his robe, I will be made well.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲉⲥϫⲱ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲉⲓϣⲁⲛϫⲱϩ ⲙⲙⲁⲧⲉ ⲉⲡⲧⲟⲡ ⲛⲧⲉϥϣⲧⲏⲛ ϯⲛⲁⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ.
22 But Jesus, turning and seeing her, said, Daughter, take heart; your faith has made you well. And the woman was made well from that hour.
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲕⲟⲧϥ ⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲧⲱⲕ ⲙⲙⲟ ⲧⲁϣⲉⲉⲣⲉ ⲧⲟⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲧⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲥⲛⲁϩⲙⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲥⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ⲛϭⲓⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ϫⲓⲛⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ.
23 And when Jesus came into the ruler's house and saw the players with their instruments and the people making a noise,
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲉⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲡⲏⲓ ⲙⲡⲁⲣⲭⲱⲛ ⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲛⲣⲉϥϫⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲙⲛⲡⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲉⲩϣⲧⲣⲧⲱⲣ.
24 He said, Make room; for the girl is not dead, but sleeping. And they were laughing at him.

25 But when the people were sent out, he went in and took her by the hand; and the girl got up.
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩϫⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲁϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲁϥⲁⲙⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲥϭⲓϫ. ⲁⲥⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲛϭⲓⲧϣⲉⲉⲣⲉ ϣⲏⲙ.
26 And the news of it went out into all that land.

27 And when Jesus went on from there, two blind men came after him, crying out, Have mercy on us, you Son of David.

28 And when he had come into the house, the blind men came to him; and Jesus said to them, Have you faith that I am able to do this? They said to him, Yes, Lord.

29 Then he put his hand on their eyes, saying, As your faith is, let it be done to you.

30 And their eyes were made open. And Jesus said to them sharply, Let no man have knowledge of it.

31 But they went out and gave news of him in all that land.

32 And while they were going away, there came to him a man without the power of talking, and with an evil spirit.

33 And when the evil spirit had been sent out, the man had the power of talking: and they were all surprised, saying, Such a thing has never been seen in Israel.

34 But the Pharisees said, By the ruler of evil spirits, he sends evil spirits out of men.

35 And Jesus went about all the towns and small places, teaching in their Synagogues and preaching the good news of the kingdom and making well all sorts of disease and pain.

36 But when he saw all the people he was moved with pity for them, because they were troubled and wandering like sheep without a keeper.

37 Then he said to his disciples, There is much grain but not enough men to get it in.

38 Make prayer, then, to the Lord of the grain-fields, that he may send out workers to get in his grain.
