Mark 2
1 A few days later Jesus went back to Capernaum. And when the people heard that He was home,
After a fewe dayes, hee entred into Capernaum againe, and it was noysed that he was in the house.
2 they gathered in such large numbers that there was no more room, not even outside the door, as Jesus spoke the word to them.
And anon, many gathered together, in so much that the places about the doore coulde not receiue any more and he preached the word vnto them.
3 Then a paralytic was brought to Him, carried by four men.
And there came vnto him, that brought one sicke of the palsie, borne of foure men.
4 Since they were unable to get to Jesus through the crowd, they uncovered the roof above Him, made an opening, and lowered the paralytic on his mat.
And because they could not come neere vnto him for the multitude, they vncouered ye roofe of the house where hee was: and when they had broken it open, they let downe the bed, wherein the sicke of the palsie lay.
5 When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”
Nowe when Iesus sawe their faith, he saide to the sicke of the palsie, Sonne, thy sinnes are forgiuen thee.
6 But some of the scribes were sitting there and thinking in their hearts,
And there were certaine of the Scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
7 “Why does this man speak like this? He is blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?”
Why doeth this man speake such blasphemies? who can forgiue sinnes, but God onely?
8 At once Jesus knew in His spirit that they were thinking this way within themselves. “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?” He asked.
And immediatly when Iesus perceiued in his spirite, that thus they reasoned with themselues, he sayde vnto them, Why reason yee these things in your hearts?
9 “Which is easier: to say to a paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up, pick up your mat, and walk’?
Whether is it easier to say to the sicke of the palsie, Thy sinnes are forgiuen thee? or to say, Arise, and take vp thy bed, and walke?
10 But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins...” He said to the paralytic,
But that ye may knowe, that the Sonne of man hath authoritie in earth to forgiue sinnes, (he sayde vnto the sicke of the palsie.)
11 “I tell you, get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”
I say vnto thee, Arise and take vp thy bed, and get thee hence into thine owne house.
12 And immediately the man got up, picked up his mat, and walked out in front of them all. As a result, they were all astounded and glorified God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this!”
And by and by he arose, and tooke vp his bed, and went foorth before them all, in so much that they were all amased, and glorified God, saying, We neuer sawe such a thing.
13 Once again Jesus went out beside the sea. All the people came to Him, and He taught them there.
Then he went foorth againe towarde the sea, and all the people resorted vnto him, and he taught them.
14 As He was walking along, He saw Levi son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax booth. “Follow Me,” He told him, and Levi got up and followed Him.
And as Iesus passed by, hee sawe Leui the sonne of Alpheus sit at the receit of custome, and said vnto him, Folowe me. And he arose and followed him.
15 While Jesus was dining at Levi’s house, many tax collectors and sinners were eating with Him and His disciples—for there were many who followed Him.
And it came to passe, as Iesus sate at table in his house, many Publicanes and sinners sate at table also with Iesus, and his disciples: for there were many that followed him.
16 When the scribes who were Pharisees saw Jesus eating with these people, they asked His disciples, “Why does He eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
And when the Scribes and Pharises sawe him eate with the Publicanes and sinners, they sayd vnto his disciples, Howe is it, that hee eateth and drinketh with Publicanes and sinners?
17 On hearing this, Jesus told them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
Now when Iesus heard it, hee sayde vnto them, The whole haue no neede of the Physicion, but the sicke. I came not to call the righteous, but the sinners to repentance.
18 Now John’s disciples and the Pharisees were often fasting. So people came to Jesus and asked, “Why don’t Your disciples fast like John’s disciples and those of the Pharisees?”
And the disciples of Iohn, and the Pharises did fast, and came and saide vnto him, Why doe the disciples of Iohn, and of the Pharises fast, and thy disciples fast not?
19 Jesus replied, “How can the guests of the bridegroom fast while He is with them? As long as He is with them, they cannot fast.
And Iesus saide vnto them, Can the children of the marriage chamber fast, whiles the bridegrome is with them? as long as they haue the bridegrome with them, they cannot fast.
20 But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.
But the daies will come, when the bridegrome shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast in those daies.
21 No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. If he does, the new piece will pull away from the old, and a worse tear will result.
Also no man soweth a piece of newe cloth in an olde garment: for els the newe piece that filled it vp, taketh away somewhat from the olde, and the breach is worse.
22 And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the wineskins will be ruined. Instead, new wine is poured into new wineskins.”
Likewise, no man putteth newe wine into old vessels: for els the new wine breaketh the vessels, and the wine runneth out, and the vessels are lost: but newe wine must be put into new vessels.
23 One Sabbath Jesus was passing through the grainfields, and His disciples began to pick the heads of grain as they walked along.
And it came to passe as hee went through the corne on the Sabbath day, that his disciples, as they went on their way, began to plucke the eares of corne.
24 So the Pharisees said to Him, “Look, why are they doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?”
And the Pharises saide vnto him, Beholde, why doe they on the Sabbath day, that which is not lawfull?
25 Jesus replied, “Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need?
And he saide to them, Haue yee neuer read what Dauid did when he had neede, and was an hungred, both he, and they that were with him?
26 During the high priesthood of Abiathar, he entered the house of God and ate the consecrated bread, which was lawful only for the priests. And he gave some to his companions as well.”
Howe he went into the house of God, in the daies of Abiathar the hie Priest, and did eat the shewe bread, which were not lawfull to eate, but for the Priests, and gaue also to them which were with him?
27 Then Jesus declared, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.
And hee sayde to them, The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath.
28 Therefore, the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”
Wherefore the Sonne of man is Lord, euen of the Sabbath.
