Evangelho segundo São Mateus 9

SAGRADA BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Jesus tomou de novo a barca, passou o lago e veio para a sua cidade.	1 And climbing into a boat, he crossed the sea, and he arrived at his own city.
2 Eis que lhe apresentaram um paralítico estendido numa padiola. Jesus, vendo a fé daquela gente, disse ao paralítico: "Meu filho, coragem! Teus pecados te são perdoados."	2 And behold, they brought to him a paralytic, lying on a bed. And Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, “Be strengthened in faith, son; your sins are forgiven you.”
3 Ouvindo isto, alguns escribas murmuraram entre si: "Este homem blasfema."	3 And behold, some of the scribes said within themselves, “He is blaspheming.”
4 Jesus, penetrando-lhes os pensamentos, perguntou-lhes: "Por que pensais mal em vossos corações?	4 And when Jesus had perceived their thoughts, he said: “Why do you think such evil in your hearts?
5 Que é mais fácil dizer: Teus pecados te são perdoados, ou: Levanta-te e anda?	5 Which is easier to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Rise up and walk?’
6 Ora, para que saibais que o Filho do Homem tem na terra o poder de perdoar os pecados: Levanta-te - disse ele ao paralítico -, toma a tua maca e volta para tua casa."	6 But, so that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins,” he then said to the paralytic, “Rise up, take up your bed, and go into your house.”
7 Levantou-se aquele homem e foi para sua casa.	7 And he arose and went into his house.
8 Vendo isto, a multidão encheu-se de medo e glorificou a Deus por ter dado tal poder aos homens.	8 Then the crowd, seeing this, was frightened, and they glorified God, who gave such power to men.
9 Partindo dali, Jesus viu um homem chamado Mateus, que estava sentado no posto do pagamento das taxas. Disse-lhe: Segue-me. O homem levantou-se e o seguiu.	9 And when Jesus passed on from there, he saw, sitting at the tax office, a man named Matthew. And he said to him, “Follow me.” And rising up, he followed him.
10 Como Jesus estivesse à mesa na casa desse homem, numerosos publicanos e pecadores vieram e sentaram-se com ele e seus discípulos.	10 And it happened that, as he was sitting down to eat in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners arrived, and they sat down to eat with Jesus and his disciples.
11 Vendo isto, os fariseus disseram aos discípulos: "Por que come vosso mestre com os publicanos e com os pecadores?"	11 And the Pharisees, seeing this, said to his disciples, “Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
12 Jesus, ouvindo isto, respondeu-lhes: "Não são os que estão bem que precisam de médico, mas sim os doentes.	12 But Jesus, hearing this, said: “It is not those who are healthy who are in need of a physician, but those who have maladies.
13 Ide e aprendei o que significam estas palavras: Eu quero a misericórdia e não o sacrifício {Os 6,6}. Eu não vim chamar os justos, mas os pecadores."	13 So then, go out and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the just, but sinners.”
14 Então os discípulos de João, dirigindo-se a ele, perguntaram: "Por que jejuamos nós e os fariseus, e os teus discípulos não?"	14 Then the disciples of John drew near to him, saying, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast frequently, but your disciples do not fast?”
15 Jesus respondeu: Podem os amigos do esposo afligir-se enquanto o esposo está com eles? Dias virão em que lhes será tirado o esposo. Então eles jejuarão.	15 And Jesus said to them: “How can the sons of the groom mourn, while the groom is still with them? But the days will arrive when the groom will be taken away from them. And then they shall fast.
16 Ninguém põe um remendo de pano novo numa veste velha, porque arrancaria uma parte da veste e o rasgão ficaria pior.	16 For no one would sew a patch of new cloth onto an old garment. For it pulls its fullness away from the garment, and the tear is made worse.
17 Não se coloca tampouco vinho novo em odres velhos; do contrário, os odres se rompem, o vinho se derrama e os odres se perdem. Coloca-se, porém, o vinho novo em odres novos, e assim tanto um como outro se conservam.	17 Neither do they pour new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wineskins rupture, and the wine pours out, and the wineskins are destroyed. Instead, they pour new wine into new wineskins. And so, both are preserved.”
18 Falava ele ainda, quando se apresentou um chefe da sinagoga. Prostrou-se diante dele e lhe disse: Senhor, minha filha acaba de morrer. Mas vem, impõe-lhe as mãos e ela viverá.	18 As he was speaking these things to them, behold, a certain ruler approached and adored him, saying: “Lord, my daughter has recently passed away. But come and impose your hand upon her, and she will live.”
19 Jesus levantou-se e o foi seguindo com seus discípulos.	19 And Jesus, rising up, followed him, with his disciples.
20 Ora, uma mulher atormentada por um fluxo de sangue, havia doze anos, aproximou-se dele por trás e tocou-lhe a orla do manto.	20 And behold, a woman, who had suffered from a flow of blood for twelve years, approached from behind and touched the hem of his garment.
21 Dizia consigo: Se eu somente tocar na sua vestimenta, serei curada.	21 For she said within herself, “If I will touch even his garment, I shall be saved.”
22 Jesus virou-se, viu-a e disse-lhe: Tem confiança, minha filha, tua fé te salvou. E a mulher ficou curada instantaneamente.	22 But Jesus, turning and seeing her, said: “Be strengthened in faith, daughter; your faith has made you well.” And the woman was made well from that hour.
23 Chegando à casa do chefe da sinagoga, viu Jesus os tocadores de flauta e uma multidão alvoroçada. Disse-lhes:	23 And when Jesus had arrived in the house of the ruler, and he had seen the musicians and the tumultuous crowd,
24 Retirai-vos, porque a menina não está morta; ela dorme. Eles, porém, zombavam dele.	24 he said, “Depart. For the girl is not dead, but asleep.” And they derided him.
25 Tendo saído a multidão, ele entrou, tomou a menina pela mão e ela levantou-se.	25 And when the crowd had been sent away, he entered. And he took her by the hand. And the girl rose up.
26 Esta notícia espalhou-se por toda a região.	26 And the news of this went out to that entire land.
27 Partindo Jesus dali, dois cegos o seguiram, gritando: Filho de Davi, tem piedade de nós!	27 And as Jesus passed from there, two blind men followed him, crying out and saying, “Take pity on us, Son of David.”
28 Jesus entrou numa casa e os cegos aproximaram-se dele. Disse-lhes: Credes que eu posso fazer isso? Sim, Senhor, responderam eles.	28 And when he had arrived at the house, the blind men approached him. And Jesus said to them, “Do you trust that I am able to do this for you?” They say to him, “Certainly, Lord.”
29 Então ele tocou-lhes nos olhos, dizendo: Seja-vos feito segundo vossa fé.	29 Then he touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith, so let it be done for you.”
30 No mesmo instante, os seus olhos se abriram. Recomendou-lhes Jesus em tom severo: Vede que ninguém o saiba.	30 And their eyes were opened. And Jesus warned them, saying, “See to it that no one knows of this.”
31 Mas apenas haviam saído, espalharam a sua fama por toda a região.	31 But going out, they spread the news of it to all that land.
32 Logo que se foram, apresentaram-lhe um mudo, possuído do demônio.	32 Then, when they had departed, behold, they brought him a man who was mute, having a demon.
33 O demônio foi expulso, o mudo falou e a multidão exclamava com admiração: Jamais se viu algo semelhante em Israel.	33 And after the demon was cast out, the mute man spoke. And the crowds wondered, saying, “Never has anything like this been seen in Israel.”
34 Os fariseus, porém, diziam: É pelo príncipe dos demônios que ele expulsa os demônios.	34 But the Pharisees said, “By the prince of demons does he cast out demons.”
35 Jesus percorria todas as cidades e aldeias. Ensinava nas sinagogas, pregando o Evangelho do Reino e curando todo mal e toda enfermidade.	35 And Jesus traveled throughout all of the cities and towns, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the Gospel of the kingdom, and healing every illness and every infirmity.
36 Vendo a multidão, ficou tomado de compaixão, porque estava enfraquecida e abatida como ovelhas sem pastor.	36 Then, seeing the multitudes, he had compassion on them, because they were distressed and were reclining, like sheep without a shepherd.
37 Disse, então, aos seus discípulos: A messe é grande, mas os operários são poucos.	37 Then he said to his disciples: “The harvest indeed is great, but the laborers are few.
38 Pedi, pois, ao Senhor da messe que envie operários para sua messe.	38 Therefore, petition the Lord of the harvest, so that he may sent out laborers to his harvest.”
