Mark 2
1 After a fewe dayes, hee entred into Capernaum againe, and it was noysed that he was in the house.
And again he entered into Capernaum after some days; and it was noised that he was in the house.
2 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.
And immediately many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word (logos) unto them.
3 And there came vnto him, that brought one sicke of the palsie, borne of foure men.
And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four.
4 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.
And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.
5 Nowe when Iesus sawe their faith, he saide to the sicke of the palsie, Sonne, thy sinnes are forgiuen thee.
When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, your sins be forgiven you.
6 And there were certaine of the Scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
But there was certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
7 Why doeth this man speake such blasphemies? who can forgiue sinnes, but God onely?
Why does this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?
8 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?
And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit (pneuma) that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason all of you these things in your hearts?
9 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?
Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Your sins be forgiven you; or to say, Arise, and take up your bed, and walk?
10 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.)
But that all of you may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, (he says to the sick of the palsy, )
11 I say vnto thee, Arise and take vp thy bed, and get thee hence into thine owne house.
I say unto you, Arise, and take up your bed, and go your way into your house.
12 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.
And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.
13 Then he went foorth againe towarde the sea, and all the people resorted vnto him, and he taught them.
And he went forth again by the sea side; and all the multitude resorted unto him, and he taught them.
14 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.
And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the receipt of custom, and said unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him.
15 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.
And it came to pass, that, as Jesus sat at food in his house, many publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him.
16 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?
And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eats and drinks with publicans and sinners?
17 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.
When Jesus heard it, he says unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
18 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?
And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees used to fast: and they come and say unto him, Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples fast not?
19 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.
And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bride-chamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? as long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.
20 But the daies will come, when the bridegrome shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast in those daies.
But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.
21 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.
No man also sews a piece of new cloth on an old garment: else the new piece that filled it up takes away from the old, and the rent is made worse.
22 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.
And no man puts new wine into old bottles: else the new wine does burst the bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles will be ruined: but new wine must be put into new bottles.
23 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.
And it came to pass, that he went through the corn fields on the sabbath day; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of corn.
24 And the Pharises saide vnto him, Beholde, why doe they on the Sabbath day, that which is not lawfull?
And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful?
25 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?
And he said unto them, Have all of you never read what David did, when he had need, and was an hungered, he, and they that were with him?
26 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?
How he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and did eat the showbread, which is not lawful to eat but for the priests, and gave also to them which were with him?
27 And hee sayde to them, The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath.
And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:
28 Wherefore the Sonne of man is Lord, euen of the Sabbath.
Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
