3 Week Challenge, Day 9

Passage: Matthew 9 (Jesus Heals a Paralytic, The Calling of Matthew, Jesus Questioned About Fasting, A Dead Girl and Sick Woman, Jesus Heals the Blind and Mute, The Workers are Few)

Memory Verse: "5But I trust in Your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation, 6I will sing to the Lord for he has been good to me" -Psalm 13:5-6

Notes: (v.2) some men brought a paralytic to Jesus. He saw their faith and forgave his sins
-(v.3-7) The Pharisees called Jesus blasphemous; Jesus rebuked them and healed the man
What exactly does Jesus mean when he says, "which is easier: to say, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Get up and walk?'"(v.5)
-(v.9) Jesus called Matthew, a tax collector, to follow him
(v.10) Jesus said, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick"
"I desire money, not sacrfice. For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners"
-(v.14-17) Jesus was questioned about his disciples' fasting:
-Jesus said: (v.15-17) "The time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast"
-"No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch will pull away from the garment, making the tear worse"
-(v.18) a man came and asked Jesus to revive his dead daughter
(v.21-22) on the way, a woman with hemorrhoids(?) had faith that even just touching Jesus' cloak would heal her. Jesus saw her faith and healed her.
-(v.24) when Jesus arrived at the house, he said, "Go away. The girl is not dead but asleep" She got up.
-(v.27-31) Jesus healed the blind and mute because of their FAITH.
(v.30) Jesus warned them to not tell anyone about this, but they did.
Why didn't Jesus want others to know about his healings?
(v.32-34) Jesus drove out a demon; the Pharisees accused him of being the 'Prince of demons'
-(v.35-38) "The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. 38Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field"
