Matthew 8 178
30 And there was a good way off from
them an herd of many swine feeding.
31 So the devils besought him, saying,
If you cast us out, suffer us to go away
into the herd of swine.
32 And he said to them, Go. And when
they were come out, they went into the
herd of swine: and, behold, the whole
herd of swine ran violently down a steep
place into the sea, and perished in the
waters.
33 And they that kept them fled, and
went their ways into the city, and told
every thing, and what was befallen to the
possessed of the devils.
34 And, behold, the whole city came
out to meet Jesus: and when they saw
him, they besought him that he would
depart out of their coasts.

CHAPTER 9
ND he entered into a ship, and passed
over, and came into his own city.
2 And, behold, they brought to him a
man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and
Jesus seeing their faith said to the sick of
the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; your
sins be forgiven you.
3 And, behold, certain of the scribes said
within themselves, This man blasphemes.
4 And Jesus knowing their thoughts said,
Why do you think evil in your hearts?
5 For whether is easier, to say, Your sins
be forgiven you; or to say, Arise, and walk?
6 But that you may know that the Son of
man has power on earth to forgive sins,
(then said he to the sick of the palsy,)
Arise, take up your bed, and go to your
house.
7 And he arose, and departed to his house.
8 But when the multitudes saw it, they
marveled, and glorified God, which had
given such power to men.
9 And as Jesus passed forth from thence,
THE FUNCTION OF THE LAW
“Sinners that think they need
9:12 no physician will not endure the
healer’s hand. The Law is therefore
necessary to give knowledge of sin, so
that proud man, who thought he was
whole, may be humbled by the discovery of
his own great wickedness, and sigh and pant
after the grace that is set forth in Christ.”
Martin Luther
he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at
the receipt of custom: and he said to 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.
11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they
said to his disciples, Why does your Master
eat with publicans and sinners?
12 But when Jesus heard that, he said
to them, They that be whole need not a
physician, but they that are sick.
13 But go and learn what that means, 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 your disciples fast not?
15 And Jesus said to 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.
16 No man puts a piece of new cloth to
an old garment, for that which is put in
to fill it up takes from the garment, and
the rent is made worse.
17 Neither do men put new wine into
old bottles: else the bottles break, and
the wine runs out, and the bottles perish:
but they put new wine into new bottles,
and both are preserved.
18 While he spoke these things to them,
behold, there came a certain ruler, and
