Jesus Heals a Paralyzed Man
(Mark 2.1-12Luke 5.17-26)1 Jesus got into the boat and went back across the lake to his own town, 2 where some people brought to him a paralyzed man, lying on a bed. When Jesus saw how much faith they had, he said to the paralyzed man, “Courage, my son! Your sins are forgiven.”
3 Then some teachers of the Law said to themselves, “This man is speaking blasphemy!”
4 Jesus perceived what they were thinking, and so he said, “Why are you thinking such evil things? 5 Is it easier to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’? 6 I will prove to you, then, that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.” So he said to the paralyzed man, “Get up, pick up your bed, and go home!”
7 The man got up and went home. 8 When the people saw it, they were afraid, and praised God for giving such authority to people.
Jesus Calls Matthew
(Mark 2.13-17Luke 5.27-32)9 Jesus left that place, and as he walked along, he saw a tax collector, named Matthew, sitting in his office. He said to him, “Follow me.”
Matthew got up and followed him.
10 While Jesus was having a meal in Matthew's house, many tax collectors and other outcasts came and joined Jesus and his disciples at the table. 11 Some Pharisees saw this and asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with such people?”
12 Jesus heard them and answered, “People who are well do not need a doctor, but only those who are sick. 13 Go and find out what is meant by the scripture that says: ‘It is kindness that I want, not animal sacrifices.’ I have not come to call respectable people, but outcasts.”
The Question about Fasting
(Mark 2.18-22Luke 5.33-39)14 Then the followers of John the Baptist came to Jesus, asking, “Why is it that we and the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples don't fast at all?”
15 Jesus answered, “Do you expect the guests at a wedding party to be sad as long as the bridegroom is with them? Of course not! But the day will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast.
16 “No one patches up an old coat with a piece of new cloth, for the new patch will shrink and make an even bigger hole in the coat. 17 Nor does anyone pour new wine into used wineskins, for the skins will burst, the wine will pour out, and the skins will be ruined. Instead, new wine is poured into fresh wineskins, and both will keep in good condition.”
The Official's Daughter and the Woman Who Touched Jesus' Cloak
(Mark 5.21-43Luke 8.40-56)18 While Jesus was saying this, a Jewish official came to him, knelt down before him, and said, “My daughter has just died; but come and place your hands on her, and she will live.”
19 So Jesus got up and followed him, and his disciples went along with him.
20 A woman who had suffered from severe bleeding for twelve years came up behind Jesus and touched the edge of his cloak. 21 She said to herself, “If only I touch his cloak, I will get well.”
22 Jesus turned around and saw her, and said, “Courage, my daughter! Your faith has made you well.” At that very moment the woman became well.
23 Then Jesus went into the official's house. When he saw the musicians for the funeral and the people all stirred up, 24 he said, “Get out, everybody! The little girl is not dead—she is only sleeping!” Then they all started making fun of him. 25 But as soon as the people had been put out, Jesus went into the girl's room and took hold of her hand, and she got up. 26 The news about this spread all over that part of the country.
Jesus Heals Two Blind Men
27 Jesus left that place, and as he walked along, two blind men started following him. “Have mercy on us, Son of David!” they shouted.
28 When Jesus had gone indoors, the two blind men came to him, and he asked them, “Do you believe that I can heal you?”
“Yes, sir!” they answered.
29 Then Jesus touched their eyes and said, “Let it happen, then, just as you believe!”— 30 and their sight was restored. Jesus spoke sternly to them, “Don't tell this to anyone!”
31 But they left and spread the news about Jesus all over that part of the country.
Jesus Heals a Man Who Could Not Speak
32 As the men were leaving, some people brought to Jesus a man who could not talk because he had a demon. 33 But as soon as the demon was driven out, the man started talking, and everyone was amazed. “We have never seen anything like this in Israel!” they exclaimed.
34 But the Pharisees said, “It is the chief of the demons who gives Jesus the power to drive out demons.”
Jesus Has Pity for the People
35 Jesus went around visiting all the towns and villages. He taught in the synagogues, preached the Good News about the Kingdom, and healed people with every kind of disease and sickness. 36 As he saw the crowds, his heart was filled with pity for them, because they were worried and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37 So he said to his disciples, “The harvest is large, but there are few workers to gather it in. 38 Pray to the owner of the harvest that he will send out workers to gather in his harvest.”
Jēzus dziedina paralizēto
(Mk 2:1–12Lk 5:17–26)1 Tad Jēzus, iekāpis laivā, pārcēlās pāri un nonāca savā pilsētā. 2 Un, redzi, tie atnesa pie viņa kādu paralizēto, kas gulēja gultā; un Jēzus, viņu ticību redzēdams, sacīja paralizētajam: “Esi drošs, dēls, tavi grēki tev piedoti.” 3 Tad kādi no rakstu mācītājiem pie sevis sacīja: “Šis zaimo.” 4 Jēzus, viņu domas noprazdams, sacīja: “Kādēļ jūs domājat ļaunu savās sirdīs? 5 Kas ir vieglāk – sacīt: tev tavi grēki piedoti! – vai sacīt: celies un staigā! – 6 Bet lai jūs zinātu, ka Cilvēka Dēlam ir vara virs zemes grēkus piedot,” – un viņš sacīja paralizētajam: “Celies, ņem savu gultu un ej uz mājām!” 7 Un tas piecēlies gāja uz mājām. 8 Ļaužu pūlis, to redzēdams, izbijās un slavēja Dievu, kas devis tādu varu cilvēkiem.
Mateja aicināšana
(Mk 2:13–17Lk 5:27–32)9 Jēzus, no turienes iedams projām, ieraudzīja muitnīcā sēžam kādu cilvēku, vārdā Matejs, un viņam sacīja: “Seko man!” Un tas piecēlies sekoja viņam. 10 Reiz, kad viņš sēdēja tā namā pie galda, redzi, arī daudz muitnieku un grēcinieku nāca un sēdēja līdz ar Jēzu un viņa mācekļiem pie galda. 11 Farizeji, to redzēdami, sacīja viņa mācekļiem: “Kādēļ jūsu Skolotājs ēd kopā ar muitniekiem un grēciniekiem?” 12 Jēzus, to dzirdēdams, tiem sacīja: “Nevis veselajiem vajag ārsta, bet slimajiem. 13 Bet jūs ejiet un mācieties saprast, ko nozīmē: es gribu žēlsirdību, ne upuri; jo es neesmu nācis aicināt taisnos, bet grēciniekus.”
Kāzu viesi negavē
(Mk 2:18–22Lk 5:33–39)14 Tad pie viņa atnāca Jāņa mācekļi un jautāja: “Kādēļ mēs un farizeji bieži gavējam, bet tavi mācekļi negavē?” 15 Jēzus tiem sacīja: “Kā var kāzu viesi sērot, kamēr līgavainis ar tiem? Bet nāks dienas, kad viņiem tiks atņemts līgavainis, tad tie gavēs. 16 Neviens nešuj jauna auduma ielāpu uz vecām drēbēm, jo ielāps noplīst no drēbēm, un plīsums kļūst vēl lielāks. 17 Tāpat arī jaunu vīnu neviens nelej vecos ādas maisos, citādi maisi saplīst un vīns izlīst, un maisi iet bojā. Bet jaunu vīnu lej jaunos maisos, tad veseli paliek abi.”
Jēzus dziedina Jaīra meitu un ar asinsteci slimo
(Mk 5:21–43Lk 8:40–56)18 Jēzum ar viņiem vēl runājot, redzi, viens vecākais nāca un nometās ceļos viņa priekšā un sacīja: “Mana meita nupat nomira. Bet nāc, uzliec viņai savu roku, un tā dzīvos.” 19 Jēzus piecēlies sekoja tam kopā ar saviem mācekļiem. 20 Un, redzi, kāda sieviete, kas divpadsmit gadus slimoja ar asiņošanu, pienāca no mugurpuses un pieskārās viņa drēbju malai. 21 Viņa pie sevis sacīja: “Ja vien viņa drēbēm pieskaršos, kļūšu vesela!” 22 Bet Jēzus, pagriezies un viņu ieraudzījis, teica: “Esi droša, meita, tava ticība tevi ir dziedinājusi!” Un sieviete kļuva vesela tajā pašā brīdī. 23 Kad Jēzus, ienācis vecākā namā, ieraudzīja flautistus un trokšņainu ļaužu pulku, 24 viņš sacīja: “Ejiet prom! Meitene nav mirusi, bet guļ.” Un tie viņu izsmēja. 25 Bet, kad ļaudis bija izraidīti ārā, Jēzus, iegājis iekšā, satvēra viņas roku, un meitene piecēlās. 26 Runas par to izplatījās visā apvidū.
Jēzus dziedina divus aklos
27 Kad Jēzus devās projām, viņam sekoja divi aklie, skaļi saukdami: “Dāvida dēls, apžēlojies par mums!” 28 Kad viņš iegāja namā, aklie pienāca pie viņa, un Jēzus viņiem jautāja: “Vai jūs ticat, ka es to varu izdarīt?” Tie viņam sacīja: “Jā, Kungs!” 29 Viņš pieskārās viņu acīm, sacīdams: “Lai jums notiek pēc jūsu ticības,” 30 un viņu acis atvērās. Tad Jēzus tos stingri nobrīdināja: “Pielūkojiet, lai neviens to neuzzinātu!” 31 Bet tie aizgājuši daudzināja viņu visā apvidū.
Jēzus dziedina mēmo
32 Kad tie gāja ārā, pie Jēzus atveda kādu mēmu un dēmona apsēstu vīru. 33 Un, kad dēmons bija izdzīts, mēmais sāka runāt. Tad ļaudis brīnījās un sacīja: “Nekas tamlīdzīgs Israēlā vēl nekad nav redzēts!” 34 Bet farizeji runāja: “Viņš izdzen dēmonus ar dēmonu valdnieka palīdzību.”
Pļaujamā ir daudz
35 Jēzus gāja pa visām pilsētām un ciemiem, mācīdams viņu sinagogās un sludinādams Valstības evaņģēliju, un dziedinādams visus slimos un vārgos. 36 Un, redzēdams ļaužu pūli, viņš iežēlojās par tiem, jo tie bija novārguši un pamesti kā avis, kurām nav gana. 37 Tad viņš sacīja saviem mācekļiem: “Pļaujamā daudz, bet strādnieku maz, 38 tādēļ lūdziet pļaujas Kungu, lai viņš sūta strādniekus savā pļaujā.”
