Matthew 9 — The Holy Bible — King James Version

Matthew

📚 About this Book

✦ Chapter Overview

Matthew 9 opens with Jesus healing a paralytic and forgiving his sins, which provokes accusations of blasphemy from the scribes and prompts Jesus to demonstrate his authority over both sin and sickness. He then calls Matthew the tax collector to follow him, dines with sinners, and defends his ministry of reaching the lost with the image of a physician going to the sick rather than the healthy. The chapter continues with a rapid succession of miracles — healing a woman with a chronic bleeding disorder, raising the daughter of a synagogue ruler, opening the eyes of two blind men, and casting out a mute spirit — and closes with Jesus moved with compassion at the spiritual lostness of the crowds, urging his disciples to pray for laborers into the harvest.
