Matthew 9:18-38

<a href="http://bible.cc/matthew/9-18.htm" >18</a>While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live. <a href="http://bible.cc/matthew/9-19.htm" >19</a>And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples.

<a href="http://bible.cc/matthew/9-20.htm" >20</a>And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment: <a href="http://bible.cc/matthew/9-21.htm" >21</a>For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole. <a href="http://bible.cc/matthew/9-22.htm" >22</a>But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.

<a href="http://bible.cc/matthew/9-23.htm" >23</a>And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise, <a href="http://bible.cc/matthew/9-24.htm" >24</a>He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.

She was REALLY dead!

<a href="http://bible.cc/matthew/9-25.htm" >25</a>But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose. <a href="http://bible.cc/matthew/9-26.htm" >26</a>And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.

<a href="http://bible.cc/matthew/9-27.htm" >27</a>And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us. <a href="http://bible.cc/matthew/9-28.htm" >28</a>And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord. <a href="http://bible.cc/matthew/9-29.htm" >29</a>Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you. <a href="http://bible.cc/matthew/9-30.htm" >30</a>And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it. <a href="http://bible.cc/matthew/9-31.htm" >31</a>But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country.

<a href="http://bible.cc/matthew/9-32.htm" >32</a>As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil. <a href="http://bible.cc/matthew/9-33.htm" >33</a>And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel. <a href="http://bible.cc/matthew/9-34.htm" >34</a>But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils.

<a href="http://bible.cc/matthew/9-35.htm" >35</a>And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.

<a href="http://bible.cc/matthew/9-36.htm" >36</a>But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. <a href="http://bible.cc/matthew/9-37.htm" >37</a>Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; <a href="http://bible.cc/matthew/9-38.htm" >38</a>Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.
