What happensPermalink
Jesus forgives and heals a paralytic. He calls Matthew. He explains why He eats with tax collectors and why his disciples do not fast. He heals a rich man’s daughter, a long-suffering woman, and others.
Why it mattersPermalink
Jesus takes the messianic title “Son of Man” and speaks about why He has come: not just to heal, but to forgive sins, to call sinners to repentance, and to call others to join Him.
Key versePermalink
Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few.”
