1Eyi akyi no, Yesu kɔtenaa ɔkorow bi mu kɔɔ Kapernaum, kurow a ɔte mu no mu. 2Oduu hɔ no, ankyɛ biara na nnipa bi de obubuafo bi brɛɛ no sɛ ɔnsa no yare. Na Yesu huu gyidi a wɔwɔ wɔ ne mu no, ɔka kyerɛɛ obubuafo no se, “Ɔba, ma wʼani nnye, wɔde wo bɔne nyinaa akyɛ wo.”

3Ɛhɔ ara na Kyerɛwsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfo a na wɔwɔ hɔ no bi teɛɛ mu se, “Ɔbarima yi ka abususɛm. Ɔkyerɛ sɛ ɔyɛ Onyankopɔn!”

Ɔka kyerɛɛ obubuafo no se, “Sɔre na bobɔw wo kɛtɛ, na kɔ fie efisɛ masa wo yare.” 7Amono mu hɔ ara, obubuafo no sɔre bobɔw ne kɛtɛ, sii mu kɔɔ ne fi! 8Nnipadɔm no huu anwonwade yi no, wɔn ho dwiriw wɔn yiye. Wɔkamfoo Onyankopɔn sɛ ɔde tumi a ɛte saa ama onipa.

12Yesu tee no, obuaa wɔn se, “Nnipa a wɔnyare no, ɔyaresafo ho nhia wɔn, na nnipa a wɔyare no na ɔyaresafo ho hia wɔn.” 13Ɔsan kaa bio se, “Monkɔhwehwɛ eyi ase wɔ Kyerɛw Kronkron no mu. Wɔakyerɛw se, ‘Ɛnyɛ mo afɔre ne ayɛyɛde na mepɛ, na mmom ahummɔbɔ.’ Mammɛfrɛ atreneefo, na mmom, mebɛfrɛɛ nnebɔneyɛfo sɛ wɔnsakra mmra Onyankopɔn nkyɛn.”

14Da bi Osuboni Yohane asuafo baa Yesu nkyɛn bebisaa no se, “Adɛn nti na wʼasuafo no nni mmuada, sɛnea yɛne Farisifo di mmuada no?”

15Yesu buaa wɔn se, “Mugye di sɛ, sɛ ayeforokunu ne ne nnamfonom te hɔ a, ɛsɛ sɛ ne nnamfonom no werɛ how, na wobua da ana? Bere bi bɛba a wɔbɛfa me afi wɔn nkyɛn. Saa bere no na wobedi mmuada.

16“Hena na ɔde ntama foforo bɛtare ntama dedaw mu? Saa ntaremu no besunsuan dedaw no mu ama tokuru kɛse abɛda hɔ. 17Hena na ɔde nsa foforo begu aboa nhoma nsa nkotoku dedaw mu?

Matthew 9:1-38

Jesus forgives and heals a paralysed man

1Jesus stepped into a boat, crossed over and came to his own town. 2Some men brought to him a paralysed man, lying on a mat. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the man, ‘Take heart, son; your sins are forgiven.’

3At this, some of the teachers of the law said to themselves, ‘This fellow is blaspheming!’

4Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said, ‘Why do you entertain evil thoughts in your hearts? 5Which is easier: to say, “Your sins are forgiven,” or to say, “Get up and walk”? 6But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.’ So he said to the paralysed man, ‘Get up, take your mat and go home.’ 7Then the man got up and went home. 8When the crowd saw this, they were filled with awe; and they praised God, who had given such authority to man.

The calling of Matthew

9As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector’s booth. ‘Follow me,’ he told him, and Matthew got up and followed him.

10While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with him and his disciples. 11When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, ‘Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?’

12On hearing this, Jesus said, ‘It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but those who are ill. 13But go and learn what this means: “I desire mercy, not sacrifice.”9:13 Hosea 6:6 For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.’

Jesus questioned about fasting

14Then John’s disciples came and asked him, ‘How is it that we and the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples do not fast?’

15Jesus answered, ‘How can the guests of the bridegroom mourn while he is with them? The time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.

16‘No-one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch will pull away from the garment, making the tear worse. 17Neither do people pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst; the wine will run out, and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.’

Jesus raises a dead girl and heals a sick woman

18While he was saying this, a synagogue leader came and knelt before him and said, ‘My daughter has just died. But come and put your hand on her, and she will live.’ 19Jesus got up and went with him, and so did his disciples.

20Just then a woman who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak. 21She said to herself, ‘If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed.’

22Jesus turned and saw her. ‘Take heart, daughter,’ he said, ‘your faith has healed you.’ And the woman was healed at that moment.

23When Jesus entered the synagogue leader’s house and saw the noisy crowd and the people playing pipes, 24he said, ‘Go away. The girl is not dead but asleep.’ But they laughed at him. 25After the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took the girl by the hand, and she got up. 26News of this spread through all that region.

Jesus heals the blind and the mute

27As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him, calling out, ‘Have mercy on us, Son of David!’

28When he had gone indoors, the blind men came to him, and he asked them, ‘Do you believe that I am able to do this?’

‘Yes, Lord,’ they replied.

29Then he touched their eyes and said, ‘According to your faith let it be done to you’; 30and their sight was restored. Jesus warned them sternly, ‘See that no-one knows about this.’ 31But they went out and spread the news about him all over that region.

32While they were going out, a man who was demon-possessed and could not talk was brought to Jesus. 33And when the demon was driven out, the man who had been mute spoke. The crowd was amazed and said, ‘Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel.’

34But the Pharisees said, ‘It is by the prince of demons that he drives out demons.’

The workers are few

35Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and illness. 36When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37Then he said to his disciples, ‘The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. 38Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.’
