1 και εμβασ εισ το πλοιον διεπερασεν και ηλθεν εισ την ιδιαν πολιν
1 He entered into a boat and crossed over, and came into his own city.
2 και ιδου προσεφερον αυτω παραλυτικον επι κλινησ βεβλημενον και ιδων ο ιησουσ την πιστιν αυτων ειπεν τω παραλυτικω θαρσει τεκνον αφεωνται σοι αι αμαρτιαι σου
2 Behold, they brought to him a man who was paralyzed, lying on a bed. Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, “Son, cheer up! Your sins are forgiven you.”
3 και ιδου τινεσ των γραμματεων ειπον εν εαυτοισ ουτοσ βλασφημει
3 Behold, some of the scribes said to themselves, “This man blasphemes.”
4 και ιδων ο ιησουσ τασ ενθυμησεισ αυτων ειπεν ινα τι υμεισ ενθυμεισθε πονηρα εν ταισ καρδιαισ υμων
4 Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, “Why do you think evil in your hearts?
5 τι γαρ εστιν ευκοπωτερον ειπειν αφεωνται σου αι αμαρτιαι η ειπειν εγειραι και περιπατει
5 For which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven;’ or to say, ‘Get up, and walk’?
6 ινα δε ειδητε οτι εξουσιαν εχει ο υιοσ του ανθρωπου επι τησ γησ αφιεναι αμαρτιασ τοτε λεγει τω παραλυτικω εγερθεισ αρον σου την κλινην και υπαγε εισ τον οικον σου
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 to your house.”
7 και εγερθεισ απηλθεν εισ τον οικον αυτου
7 He arose and departed to his house.
8 ιδοντεσ δε οι οχλοι εθαυμασαν και εδοξασαν τον θεον τον δοντα εξουσιαν τοιαυτην τοισ ανθρωποισ
8 But when the multitudes saw it, they marveled and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.
9 και παραγων ο ιησουσ εκειθεν ειδεν ανθρωπον καθημενον επι το τελωνιον ματθαιον λεγομενον και λεγει αυτω ακολουθει μοι και αναστασ ηκολουθησεν αυτω
9 As Jesus passed by from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax collection office. He said to him, “Follow me.” He got up and followed him.
10 και εγενετο αυτου ανακειμενου εν τη οικια και ιδου πολλοι τελωναι και αμαρτωλοι ελθοντεσ συνανεκειντο τω ιησου και τοισ μαθηταισ αυτου
10 As he sat in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with Jesus and his disciples.
11 και ιδοντεσ οι φαρισαιοι ειπον τοισ μαθηταισ αυτου δια τι μετα των τελωνων και αμαρτωλων εσθιει ο διδασκαλοσ υμων
11 When the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
12 ο δε ιησουσ ακουσασ ειπεν αυτοισ ου χρειαν εχουσιν οι ισχυοντεσ ιατρου αλλ οι κακωσ εχοντεσ
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.
13 πορευθεντεσ δε μαθετε τι εστιν ελεον θελω και ου θυσιαν ου γαρ ηλθον καλεσαι δικαιουσ αλλα αμαρτωλουσ εισ μετανοιαν
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.”
14 τοτε προσερχονται αυτω οι μαθηται ιωαννου λεγοντεσ δια τι ημεισ και οι φαρισαιοι νηστευομεν πολλα οι δε μαθηται σου ου νηστευουσιν
14 Then John’s disciples came to him, saying, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples don’t fast?”
15 και ειπεν αυτοισ ο ιησουσ μη δυνανται οι υιοι του νυμφωνοσ πενθειν εφ οσον μετ αυτων εστιν ο νυμφιοσ ελευσονται δε ημεραι οταν απαρθη απ αυτων ο νυμφιοσ και τοτε νηστευσουσιν
15 Jesus said to them, “Can the friends of the bridegroom mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast.
16 ουδεισ δε επιβαλλει επιβλημα ρακουσ αγναφου επι ιματιω παλαιω αιρει γαρ το πληρωμα αυτου απο του ιματιου και χειρον σχισμα γινεται
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.
17 ουδε βαλλουσιν οινον νεον εισ ασκουσ παλαιουσ ει δε μηγε ρηγνυνται οι ασκοι και ο οινοσ εκχειται και οι ασκοι απολουνται αλλα βαλλουσιν οινον νεον εισ ασκουσ καινουσ και αμφοτεροι συντηρουνται
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.”
18 ταυτα αυτου λαλουντοσ αυτοισ ιδου αρχων εισ ελθων προσεκυνει αυτω λεγων οτι η θυγατηρ μου αρτι ετελευτησεν αλλα ελθων επιθεσ την χειρα σου επ αυτην και ζησεται
18 While he told these things to them, behold, a ruler came and worshiped him, saying, “My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live.”
19 και εγερθεισ ο ιησουσ ηκολουθησεν αυτω και οι μαθηται αυτου
19 Jesus got up and followed him, as did his disciples.
20 και ιδου γυνη αιμορροουσα δωδεκα ετη προσελθουσα οπισθεν ηψατο του κρασπεδου του ιματιου αυτου
20 Behold, a woman who had a discharge of blood for twelve years came behind him, and touched the fringe of his garment;
21 ελεγεν γαρ εν εαυτη εαν μονον αψωμαι του ιματιου αυτου σωθησομαι
21 for she said within herself, “If I just touch his garment, I will be made well.”
22 ο δε ιησουσ επιστραφεισ και ιδων αυτην ειπεν θαρσει θυγατερ η πιστισ σου σεσωκεν σε και εσωθη η γυνη απο τησ ωρασ εκεινησ
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.
23 και ελθων ο ιησουσ εισ την οικιαν του αρχοντοσ και ιδων τουσ αυλητασ και τον οχλον θορυβουμενον
23 When Jesus came into the ruler’s house and saw the flute players and the crowd in noisy disorder,
24 λεγει αυτοισ αναχωρειτε ου γαρ απεθανεν το κορασιον αλλα καθευδει και κατεγελων αυτου
24 he said to them, “Make room, because the girl isn’t dead, but sleeping.” They were ridiculing him.
25 οτε δε εξεβληθη ο οχλοσ εισελθων εκρατησεν τησ χειροσ αυτησ και ηγερθη το κορασιον
25 But when the crowd was sent out, he entered in, took her by the hand, and the girl arose.
26 και εξηλθεν η φημη αυτη εισ ολην την γην εκεινην
26 The report of this went out into all that land.
27 και παραγοντι εκειθεν τω ιησου ηκολουθησαν αυτω δυο τυφλοι κραζοντεσ και λεγοντεσ ελεησον ημασ υιε δαυιδ
27 As Jesus passed by from there, two blind men followed him, calling out and saying, “Have mercy on us, son of David!”
28 ελθοντι δε εισ την οικιαν προσηλθον αυτω οι τυφλοι και λεγει αυτοισ ο ιησουσ πιστευετε οτι δυναμαι τουτο ποιησαι λεγουσιν αυτω ναι κυριε
28 When he had come into the house, the blind men came to him. Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They told him, “Yes, Lord.”
29 τοτε ηψατο των οφθαλμων αυτων λεγων κατα την πιστιν υμων γενηθητω υμιν
29 Then he touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith be it done to you.”
30 και ανεωχθησαν αυτων οι οφθαλμοι και ενεβριμησατο αυτοισ ο ιησουσ λεγων ορατε μηδεισ γινωσκετω
30 Then their eyes were opened. Jesus strictly commanded them, saying, “See that no one knows about this.”
31 οι δε εξελθοντεσ διεφημισαν αυτον εν ολη τη γη εκεινη
31 But they went out and spread abroad his fame in all that land.
32 αυτων δε εξερχομενων ιδου προσηνεγκαν αυτω ανθρωπον κωφον δαιμονιζομενον
32 As they went out, behold, a mute man who was demon possessed was brought to him.
33 και εκβληθεντοσ του δαιμονιου ελαλησεν ο κωφοσ και εθαυμασαν οι οχλοι λεγοντεσ ουδεποτε εφανη ουτωσ εν τω ισραηλ
33 When the demon was cast out, the mute man spoke. The multitudes marveled, saying, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!”
34 οι δε φαρισαιοι ελεγον εν τω αρχοντι των δαιμονιων εκβαλλει τα δαιμονια
34 But the Pharisees said, “By the prince of the demons, he casts out demons.”
35 και περιηγεν ο ιησουσ τασ πολεισ πασασ και τασ κωμασ διδασκων εν ταισ συναγωγαισ αυτων και κηρυσσων το ευαγγελιον τησ βασιλειασ και θεραπευων πασαν νοσον και πασαν μαλακιαν εν τω λαω
35 Jesus went about all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the Good News of the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness among the people.
36 ιδων δε τουσ οχλουσ εσπλαγχνισθη περι αυτων οτι ησαν εσκυλμενοι και ερριμμενοι ωσει προβατα μη εχοντα ποιμενα
36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them because they were harassed and scattered, like sheep without a shepherd.
37 τοτε λεγει τοισ μαθηταισ αυτου ο μεν θερισμοσ πολυσ οι δε εργαται ολιγοι
37 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest indeed is plentiful, but the laborers are few.
38 δεηθητε ουν του κυριου του θερισμου οπωσ εκβαλη εργατασ εισ τον θερισμον αυτου
38 Pray therefore that the Lord of the harvest will send out laborers into his harvest.”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
By His own city here he means Capernaum. For that which gave Him birth was Bethlehem; that which brought Him up, Nazareth; that which had Him continually inhabiting it, Capernaum. This paralytic, however, was different from that one who is set forth in John.

For Christ called not the just nor the chaste to repentance, but the ungodly, and the licentious, and the unjust; His words being, "I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." For the heavenly Father desires rather the repentance than the punishment of the sinner.
And not merely in works, but also in faith, has God preserved the will of man free and under his own control, saying, "According to thy faith be it unto thee;" thus showing that there is a faith specially belonging to man, since he has an opinion specially his own.
… all things are become new;" and "because our salvation is nearer than when we believed;" and because "the night is far spent, the day is at hand;" and because Thou wilt crown Thy year with blessing, sending the labourers of Thy goodness into Thy harvest, in the sowing of which others have laboured, sending also into another field, whose harvest …

For He said not, what we find Him saying after this, "Believe ye that I am able to do this?" because He had not as yet given proof of His power.
