Matthew 9
1 And Jhesus wente vp in to a boot, and passide ouer the watir, and cam in to his citee.
He entered into a boat and crossed over, and came into his own city.
2 And lo! thei brouyten to hym a man sike in palesie, liggynge in a bed. And Jhesus saw the feith of hem, and seide to the man sike in palesye, Sone, haue thou trist; thi synnes ben foryouun to thee.
Behold, they brought to him a man who was paralyzed, lying on a bed. Yeshua, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, “Son, cheer up! Your sins are forgiven you.”
3 And lo! summe of the scribis seiden withynne hem silf, This blasfemeth.
Behold, some of the scribes said to themselves, “This man blasphemes.”
4 And whanne Jhesus hadde seyn her thouytis, he seide, Wherto thenken ye yuele thingis in youre hertis?
Yeshua, knowing their thoughts, said, “Why do you think evil in your hearts?
5 What is liytere to seye, Thi synnes ben foryouun to thee, ethir `to seie, Rise thou, and walke?
For which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven;’ or to say, ‘Get up, and walk’?
6 But that ye wite that mannus sone hath power to foryyue synnes in erthe, thanne he seide to the sijk man in palesie, Rise vp; take thi bed, and go in to thin hous.
But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins—” (then he said to the paralytic), “Get up, and take up your mat, and go to your house.”
7 And he roos, and wente in to his hous.
He arose and departed to his house.
8 And the puple seynge dredde, and glorifiede God, that yaf suche power to men.
But when the multitudes saw it, they marveled and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.
9 And whanne Jhesus passide fro thennus, he say a man, Matheu bi name, sittynge in a tolbothe. And he seide to hym, Sue thou me.
As Yeshua passed by from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax collection office. He said to him, “Follow me.” He got up and followed him.
10 And he roos, and folewide hym. And it was don, the while he sat `at the mete in the hous, lo! many pupplicans and synful men camen, and saten `at the mete with Jhesu and hise disciplis.
As he sat in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with Yeshua and his disciples.
11 And Farisees sien, and seiden to hise disciplis, Whi etith youre maister with pupplicans and synful men?
When the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, “Why does your rabbi eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
12 And Jhesus herde, and seide, A leche is not nedeful to men that faren wel, but to men that ben yuel at ese.
When Yeshua heard it, he said to them, “Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do.
13 But go ye, and lerne what it is, Y wole merci, and not sacrifice; for I cam, not to clepe riytful men, but synful men.
But you go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
14 Thanne the disciplis of Joon camen to hym, and seiden, Whi we and Farisees fasten ofte, but thi disciplis fasten not?
Then Yochanan’s disciples came to him, saying, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples don’t fast?”
15 And Jhesus seide to hem, Whether the sones of the spouse moun morne, as long as the spouse is with hem? But daies schulen come, whanne the spouse schal be takun a wei fro hem, and thanne thei schulen faste.
Yeshua said to them, “Can the friends of the bridegroom mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast.
16 And no man putteth a clout of buystous clothe in to an elde clothing; for it doith awey the fulnesse of the cloth, and a wers breking is maad.
No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for the patch would tear away from the garment, and a worse hole is made.
17 Nethir men putten newe wyne in to elde botelis, ellis the botels ben to-broke, and distried, and the wyn sched out. But men putten newe wyne in to newe botels, and bothe ben kept.
Neither do people put new wine into old wineskins, or else the skins would burst, and the wine be spilled, and the skins ruined. No, they put new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved.”
18 Whiles that Jhesus spak thes thingis to hem, lo! a prince cam, and worschipide hym, and seide, Lord, my douyter is now deed; but come thou, and putte thin hond on hir, and she schal lyue.
While he told these things to them, behold, a ruler came and worshiped him, saying, “My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live.”
19 And Jhesus roos, and `hise disciplis, and sueden hym.
Yeshua got up and followed him, as did his disciples.
20 And lo! a womman, that hadde the blodi flux twelue yere, neiyede bihynde, and touchide the hem of his cloth.
Behold, a woman who had a discharge of blood for twelve years came behind him, and touched the fringe of his garment;
21 For sche seide with ynne hir self, Yif Y touche oonli the cloth of hym, Y schal be saaf.
for she said within herself, “If I just touch his garment, I will be made well.”
22 And Jhesus turnede, and say hir, and seide, Douytir, haue thou trist; thi feith hath maad thee saaf. And the womman was hool fro that our.
But Yeshua, turning around and seeing her, said, “Daughter, cheer up! Your faith has made you well.” And the woman was made well from that hour.
23 And whanne Jhesus cam in to the hous of the prince, and say mynstrallis, and the puple makynge noise,
When Yeshua came into the ruler’s house and saw the flute players and the crowd in noisy disorder,
24 he seide, Go ye a wei, for the damysel is not deed, but slepith. And thei scornyden hym.
he said to them, “Make room, because the girl isn’t dead, but sleeping.” They were ridiculing him.
25 And whanne the folc was put out, he wente in, and helde hir hond; and the damysel roos.
But when the crowd was sent out, he entered in, took her by the hand, and the girl arose.
26 And this fame wente out in to al that loond.
The report of this went out into all that land.
27 And whanne Jhesus passide fro thennus, twei blynde men criynge sueden hym, and seiden, Thou sone of Dauid, haue merci on vs.
As Yeshua passed by from there, two blind men followed him, calling out and saying, “Have mercy on us, son of David!”
28 And whanne he cam in to the hous, the blynde men camen to hym; and Jhesus seide to hem, What wolen ye, that I do to you? And thei seiden, Lord, that oure iyen be opened. And Jhesus seide, Bileuen ye, that Y mai do this thing to you? Thei seien to him, Yhe, Lord.
When he had come into the house, the blind men came to him. Yeshua said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They told him, “Yes, Lord.”
29 Thanne he touchide her iyen, and seide, Aftir youre feith be it doon to you.
Then he touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith be it done to you.”
30 And the iyen of hem were opened. And Jhesus thretenede hem, and seide, Se ye, that no man wite.
Then their eyes were opened. Yeshua strictly commanded them, saying, “See that no one knows about this.”
31 But thei yeden out, and diffameden hym thorou al that lond.
But they went out and spread abroad his fame in all that land.
32 And whanne thei weren gon out, loo! thei brouyten to hym a doumbe man, hauynge a deuel.
As they went out, behold, a mute man who was demon possessed was brought to him.
33 And whanne the deuel was cast out, the doumb man spak. And the puple wondride, and seide, It hath not be say thus in Israel.
When the demon was cast out, the mute man spoke. The multitudes marveled, saying, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!”
34 But the Farisees seiden, In the prince of deuelis he castith out deuelis.
But the Pharisees said, “By the prince of the demons, he casts out demons.”
35 And Jhesus wente `aboute alle the `citees and castels, techinge in the synagogis of hem, and prechynge the gospel of the kyngdom, and helynge euery langour and euery sijknesse.
Yeshua went about all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the Good News of the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness among the people.
36 And he siy the puple, and hadde reuthe on hem; for thei weren trauelid, and liggynge as scheep not hauynge a scheepherde.
But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them because they were harassed and scattered, like sheep without a shepherd.
37 Thanne he seide to hise disciplis, Sotheli there is myche ripe corn, but fewe werk men.
Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest indeed is plentiful, but the laborers are few.
38 Therfor preye ye the lord of the ripe corn, that he sende werke men in to his ripe corn.
Pray therefore that the Lord of the harvest will send out laborers into his harvest.”
