Matthew Chapter 9

Matthew 9 reveals Jesus' authority to forgive sins, heal the sick, and call people into His kingdom. Jesus forgives and heals a paralytic, calls Matthew to follow Him, teaches about mercy and the new covenant, raises a ruler's daughter, heals a woman with a flow of blood, restores sight to two blind men, and delivers a man possessed by a demon. The chapter concludes with Jesus' compassion for the crowds, describing them as sheep without a shepherd, and His call for laborers to be sent into the harvest.
