1 Jesus got in a boat and went back to His town. 2 Friends brought a man on a mat who could not walk; Jesus saw their trust and said: <jesus>Be brave, son. Your wrongs are gone.</jesus> ️❤️ 3 Some law teachers said Jesus was saying bad about God. 4 Jesus knew their thoughts and said: <jesus>Why do you think bad in your hearts?</jesus> 5 Jesus said: <jesus>What is easy to say? “Your wrongs are gone,” or “Get up and walk”?</jesus> ❓ 6 Jesus said: <jesus>I want you to know I can make wrongs go away.</jesus> Then He said to the man: <jesus>Get up. Take your mat. Go home.</jesus> ✋➡️ 7 The man got up and went home. ♂️ 8 People saw it; they were a little scared and said thank you to God for His power. 9 Jesus saw Matthew at a tax desk and said: <jesus>Follow Me.</jesus> Matthew got up and went with Him. ♂️ 10 Jesus ate at a house; many tax men and people who did wrong ate with Jesus and His friends. ️ 11 Some leaders asked His friends why He ate with tax men and people who did wrong. 12 Jesus heard and said: <jesus>Healthy people do not need a doctor. Sick people need a doctor.</jesus> 13 Jesus said: <jesus>Go learn this: I want kind love, not gifts. I came to call people who do wrong, not people who think they are good.</jesus> ❤️ 14 John’s helpers came and asked why they do not eat, but Jesus’ friends do eat. ️❓ 15 Jesus said: <jesus>Friends of the man at a wedding are not sad while he is with them; a day will come when he is taken away, and then they will not eat.</jesus> ➡️ 16 Jesus said: <jesus>No one puts a new patch on an old coat; it will rip more.</jesus> 17 Jesus said: <jesus>No one pours new drink into old bags; the bags break. New drink goes in new bags.</jesus> 18 While Jesus spoke, a leader came, went down on his knees, and said, “My girl just died, but come touch her hand, and she will live.” 19 Jesus got up and went with him; His friends went too. ♂️♂️♂️ 20 A woman who bled for 12 years came behind Him and touched the end of His coat. 21 She said, “If I only touch His coat, I will get well.” 22 Jesus turned and said: <jesus>Be brave, girl. Your trust made you well.</jesus> Right then she was well. ✨ 23 Jesus came to the leader’s house and saw music men and a loud crowd. 24 Jesus said: <jesus>Go out. The girl is not dead; she sleeps.</jesus> They laughed at Him. 25 He put the crowd out, held the girl’s hand, and she got up. ✨ 26 News about this went all over the land. 27 As Jesus went on, two blind men followed Him and cried, “Help us, Son of David!” 28 Jesus went in a house; the blind men came to Him. He said: <jesus>Do you believe I can do this?</jesus> They said, “Yes, Jesus.” 29 Jesus touched their eyes and said: <jesus>It will be done by your trust.</jesus> ️✋ 30 Their eyes were opened. Jesus said in a strong way: <jesus>Do not tell this to anyone.</jesus> 31 But they went and told people all over the land. 32 As they went out, people brought to Jesus a man who could not talk; a bad thing held him. 33 Jesus sent the bad thing out; the man talked. The crowd was amazed and said nothing like this was seen here. ️✨ 34 But some leaders said, “He uses the boss of bad things to send them out.” 35 Jesus went to towns and small places; He taught, told good news of God’s family, and healed every sick person. ️❤️ 36 Jesus saw the crowds and felt deep care; they were hurt and lost, like sheep with no helper. 37 Jesus said to His friends: <jesus>The field is big with many plants, but there are few helpers.</jesus> 38 Jesus said: <jesus>Ask God to send more helpers to His field.</jesus>
