1And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into his own city. 2And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee. 3And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth. 4And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts? 5For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk? 6But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house. 7And he arose, and departed to his house. 8But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men.
9¶ And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.
10¶ And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples. 11And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners? 12But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. 13But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
14¶ Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not? 15And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast. 16No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse. 17Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.
18¶ 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. 19And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples.
20¶ And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment: 21For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole. 22But 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. 23And when Jesus came into the ruler’s house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise, 24He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn. 25But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose. 26And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.
27¶ And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us. 28And 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. 29Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you. 30And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it. 31But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country.
32¶ As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil. 33And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel. 34But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils. 35And 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.
36¶ 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. 37Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; 38Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.
Munthu Wakufa Ziwalo wa ku Kaperenawo
1Yesu analowa mʼbwato nawoloka, ndipo anabwera ku mudzi wa kwawo. 2Amuna ena anabwera ndi munthu wakufa ziwalo kwa Iye atamugoneka pa mphasa. Yesu ataona chikhulupiriro chawo anati kwa wakufa ziwaloyo, “Limba mtima mwana wanga, machimo ako akhululukidwa.”
3Pamenepo aphunzitsi ena amalamulo anaganiza mu mtima mwawo kuti, “Munthu uyu akuchitira Mulungu mwano.”
4Ndipo podziwa maganizo awo Yesu anati, “Bwanji mukuganiza zoyipa mʼmitima mwanu? 5Chapafupi ndi chiti kunena kuti, ‘Machimo ako akhululukidwa’ kapena kunena kuti, ‘Imirira ndipo yenda?’ 6Tsono kuti mudziwe kuti Mwana wa Munthu ali ndi ulamuliro pa dziko wokhululuka machimo, pamenepo anati kwa wakufa ziwaloyo, ‘Imirira, tenga mphasa yako kazipita kwanu.’ ” 7Ndipo munthuyo anayimirira napita kwawo. 8Gulu la anthu litaona izi, linadzazidwa ndi mantha ndipo linalemekeza Mulungu amene anapereka ulamuliro kwa anthu.
Kuyitanidwa kwa Mateyu
9Ndipo Yesu atachoka kumeneko, anaona munthu wina dzina lake Mateyu, atakhala mʼnyumba ya msonkho. Anati kwa iye, “Nditsate Ine.” Ndipo iye ananyamuka namutsata.

12Yesu atamva, anati, “Munthu wamoyo safuna singʼanga ayi, koma wodwala. 13Koma pitani kaphunzireni tanthauzo la mawu awa: ‘Ndimafuna chifundo osati nsembe ayi.’ Pakuti sindinabwere kudzayitana olungama koma ochimwa.”
Za Kusala Kudya
14Ndipo ophunzira a Yohane anabwera namufunsa Iye kuti, “Bwanji ife ndi Afarisi timasala kudya koma ophunzira anu sasala kudya?”
15Yesu anayankha kuti, “Kodi oyitanidwa ku ukwati angamalire bwanji pamene mkwati ali naye pamodzi? Nthawi idzafika pamene mkwatiyo adzachotsedwa ndi pamene adzasala kudya.”
16Ndipo palibe munthu amasokerera chigamba chatsopano pa chovala chakale chifukwa chigambacho chidzachoka ndipo chibowocho chidzakula kuposa kale. 17Kapena sathira vinyo watsopano mʼmatumba akale; akatero, matumba akalewo adzaphulika ndipo vinyoyo adzatayika, matumbawo adzawonongeka; satero ayi. Amathira vinyo watsopano mʼmatumba atsopanonso ndipo zonse zimasungika.
Za Mwana Wamkazi wa Yairo ndi Mayi Wokhudza Chovala cha Yesu
18Pamene ankanena zimenezi, mkulu wa sunagoge anabwera namugwadira Iye nati, “Mwana wanga wamkazi wamwalira posachedwapa koma tiyeni mukasanjike dzanja lanu pa iye ndipo adzakhala ndi moyo.” 19Yesu ndi ophunzira ake ananyamuka napita naye pamodzi.
20Panali mayi wina amene ankadwala nthenda yotaya magazi kwa zaka khumi ndi ziwiri ndipo anadza mʼmbuyo mwake nakhudza mkanjo wake. 21Iyeyo anati mwa iye yekha, “Nditangokhudza kasonga ka mkanjo wake, ine ndidzachiritsidwa.”
22Ndipo Yesu anatembenuka namuona mayiyo nati, “Limbani mtima mayi iwe, chikhulupiriro chako chakuchiritsa.” Nthawi yomweyo mayiyo anachiritsidwa.
23Yesu atalowa mʼnyumba ya mkulu wa sunagoge ndi kuona oyimba zitoliro ndi gulu la anthu ochita phokoso, 24anati, “Tulukani, mtsikanayu sanafe koma ali mtulo.” Koma anamuseka Iye. 25Atangowatulutsa anthuwo, analowa mʼnyumba ndipo anagwira dzanja la mtsikanayo ndipo anauka. 26Mbiriyi inamveka mʼdera lonse.
Yesu Achiritsa Osaona ndi Osayankhula
27Yesu atapitirira ulendo wake, amuna awiri osaona anamutsatira Iye, akufuwula kuti, “Tichitireni chifundo, Mwana wa Davide!”
28Atalowa mʼnyumba, amuna awiri osaonawo anabwera kwa Iye ndipo anawafunsa kuti, “Kodi mukhulupirira kuti ndikhoza kukuchiritsani?”
Iwo anayankha kuti, “Inde Ambuye.”
29Pomwepo anakhudza maso awo nati, “Zichitike kwa inu monga mwachikhulupiriro chanu.” 30Ndipo anayamba kuona. Yesu anawachenjeza kwambiri nati, “Onani, wina aliyense asadziwe za zimenezi.” 31Koma iwo anatuluka mʼnyumbamo nafalitsa za Iye mʼchigawo chonse.
32Pamene iwo ankatuluka kunja, anthu anabwera kwa Iye ndi munthu wogwidwa ndi mzimu wosayankhula. 33Ndipo atatulutsa mzimuwo, munthuyo anayankhula. Gulu la anthuwo linadabwa ndipo linati, “Zinthu zotere sizinaonekepo mu Israeli.”
34Koma Afarisi anati, “Akutulutsa mizimu yoyipa ndi mphamvu ya mkulu wa ziwanda.”
Antchito ndi Ochepa
35Yesu anayendayenda mʼmizinda yonse ndi mʼmidzi, kuphunzitsa mʼmasunagoge awo, nalalikira Uthenga Wabwino wa ufumu ndi kuchiritsa nthenda zawo zonse ndi zofowoka za mʼmatupi mwawo. 36Ataona maguluwo, anagwidwa ndi chisoni chifukwa anali ozunzika ndi osowa chithandizo ngati nkhosa zopanda mʼbusa. 37Pamenepo anati kwa ophunzira ake, “Zokolola ndi zambiri koma antchito ndi ochepa. 38Nʼchifukwa chake, pemphani Ambuye mwini zokolola kuti atumize antchito ku munda wake.”
