To study Matthew 9 in a group
1. What it says
What did Jesus say to the paralyzed man before healing him, and how did some scribes react (vv. 2–3)?
2. What it means
What did Jesus mean by “I did not come to call the righteous but sinners” as he sat with them (vv. 10–13)?
3. How I live it
Jesus saw the crowds with compassion (v. 36). Whom around you could you look at with more compassion today?
