Mark 2
1 And again he entered into Capharnaum after some days.
And again he entered Capernaum, after some days; and they heard that he was in the house.
2 And it was heard that he was in the house, and many came together, so that there was no room; no, not even at the door; and he spoke to them the word.

8 Which Jesus presently knowing in his spirit, that they so thought within themselves, saith to them: Why think you these things in your hearts?
And Jesus, immediately perceiving in his spirit that they thus reasoned within themselves, said to them: Why are you reasoning thus in your hearts?
9 Which is easier, to say to the sick of the palsy: Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say: Arise, take up thy bed, and walk?
Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, Your sins are forgiven; or to say, Arise, take up your bed and walk?
10 But that you may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy, )
But that you may know that the Son of man on earth has authority to forgive sins, (he said to the paralytic, )
11 I say to thee: Arise, take up thy bed, and go into thy house.
I say to you, Arise, take up your bed and go to your house.

15 And it came to pass, that as he sat at meat in his house, many publicans and sinners sat down together with Jesus and his disciples. For they were many, who also followed him.

And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eating with publicans and sinners, they said to his disciples: Why is it that he eats and drinks with publicans and sinners?
17 Jesus hearing this, saith to them: They that are well have no need of a physician, but they that are sick. For I came not to call the just, but sinners.
And when Jesus heard it, he said to them: Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I have not come to call righteous men, but sinners.
18 And the disiples of John and the Pharisees used to fast; and they come and say to him: Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast; but thy disciples do not fast?

20 But the days will come when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them; and then they shall fast in those days.
But the days will come when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then they will fast in those days.

No one sews a patch of new cloth on an old garment; if so, the new piece which fills it up, takes from the old, and a worse rent is made.
22 And no man putteth new wine into old bottles: otherwise the wine will burst the bottles, and both the wine will be spilled, and the bottles will be lost. But new wine must be put into new bottles.

Therefore, the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
