When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the man, "Cheer up, friend! Your sins are forgiven."2 Behold, they brought to him a man who was paralyzed, lying on a bed.

Then he said to the paralyzed man, "Get up, pick up your stretcher, and go home."6 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins..." (then he said to the paralytic), "Get up, and take up your mat, and go up to your house."6 But that ye may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, (then he says to the paralytic,) Rise up, take up thy bed and go to thy house.

12 But when Jesus heard this, He said, "It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick.12 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.12 When Jesus heard that, he said, "Healthy people don't need a doctor; those who are sick do.12 When Jesus heard it, he said to them, "Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do.12 But Jesus hearing it, said, They that are strong have not need of a physician, but those that are ill.
13 "But go and learn what this means: 'I DESIRE COMPASSION, AND NOT SACRIFICE,' for I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners."13 But 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.13 Learn what this means: 'I want mercy, not sacrifices.' I've come to call sinners, not people who think they have God's approval."13 But you go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,' for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."13 But go and learn what that is I will have mercy and not sacrifice; for I have not come to call righteous men but sinners.
The Question about Fasting
14 Then the disciples of John came to Him, asking, "Why do we and the Pharisees fast, but Your disciples do not fast?"14 Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?14 Then John's disciples came to Jesus. They said, "Why do we and the Pharisees fast often but your disciples never do?"14 Then John's disciples came to him, saying, "Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples don't fast?"14 Then come to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees often fast, but thy disciples fast not?

The time will come when the groom will be taken away from them. Then they will fast.15 Jesus said to them, "Can the friends of the bridegroom mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them?

But days will come when the bridegroom will have been taken away from them, and then they will fast.
NASBKJVGWTWEBDBY
16 "But no one puts a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for the patch pulls away from the garment, and a worse tear results.16 No 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.16 "No one patches an old coat with a new piece of cloth that will shrink. When the patch shrinks, it will rip away from the coat, and the tear will become worse.16 No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for the patch would tear away from the garment, and a worse hole is made.16 But no one puts a patch of new cloth on an old garment, for its filling up takes from the garment and a worse rent takes place.
17 "Nor do people put new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the wineskins burst, and the wine pours out and the wineskins are ruined; but they put new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved."17 Neither 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.17 Nor do people pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins burst, the wine runs out, and the skins are ruined. Rather, people pour new wine into fresh skins, and both are saved."17 Neither do people put new wine into old wineskins, or else the skins would burst, and the wine be spilled, and the skins ruined. No, they put new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved."17 Nor do men put new wine into old skins, otherwise the skins burst and the wine is poured out, and the skins will be destroyed; but they put new wine into new skins, and both are preserved together.
Miracles of Healing
18 While He was saying these things to them, a synagogue official came and bowed down before Him, and said, "My daughter has just died; but come and lay Your hand on her, and she will live."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.18 A [synagogue] leader came to Jesus while he was talking to John's disciples.

21 for she was saying to herself, "If I only touch His garment, I will get well."21 For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.21 She thought, "If I only touch his clothes, I'll get well."21 for she said within herself, "If I just touch his garment, I will be made well."21 for she said within herself, If I should only touch his garment I shall be healed.
22 But Jesus turning and seeing her said, "Daughter, take courage; your faith has made you well." At once the woman was made well.22 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.22 When Jesus turned and saw her he said, "Cheer up, daughter! Your faith has made you well." At that very moment the woman became well.22 But Jesus, turning around and seeing her, said, "Daughter, cheer up! Your faith has made you well." And the woman was made well from that hour.22 But Jesus turning and seeing her, said, Be of good courage, daughter; thy faith has healed thee. And the woman was healed from that hour.
23 When Jesus came into the official's house, and saw the flute-players and the crowd in noisy disorder,23 And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise,23 Jesus came to the [synagogue] leader's house. He saw flute players and a noisy crowd.23 When Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the flute players, and the crowd in noisy disorder,23 And when Jesus was come to the house of the ruler, and saw the flute-players and the crowd making a tumult,
24 He said, "Leave; for the girl has not died, but is asleep." And they began laughing at Him.24 He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.24 He said to them, "Leave! The girl is not dead. She's sleeping." But they laughed at him.24 he said to them, "Make room, because the girl isn't dead, but sleeping." They were ridiculing him.24 he said, Withdraw, for the damsel is not dead, but sleeps. And they derided him.
25 But when the crowd had been sent out, He entered and took her by the hand, and the girl got up.25 But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose.25 When the crowd had been put outside, Jesus went in, took her hand, and the girl came back to life.25 But when the crowd was put out, he entered in, took her by the hand, and the girl arose.25 But when the crowd had been put out, he went in and took her hand; and the damsel rose up.
