Mark 2
1 And again He entered into Capernaum, after [some] days, and it was heard that He is in the house,
And again he entered into Capernaum after some days; and it was noised that he was in the house.
2 and immediately many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even at the door, and He was speaking to them the word.
And straightway many were gathered together, so that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word to them.
3 And they come to Him, bringing a paralytic, carried by four,
And they come to him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four.
4 and not being able to come near to Him because of the multitude, they uncovered the roof where He was, and having broken [it] up, they let down the pallet on which the paralytic was lying,
And when they could not come near to 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 and Jesus having seen their faith, says to the paralytic, “Child, your sins have been forgiven you.”
When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the sick of the palsy, Son, your sins be forgiven you.
6 And there were certain 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 does this One thus speak evil words? Who is able to forgive sins except one—God?”
Why does this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?
8 And immediately Jesus, having known in His spirit that they thus reason in themselves, said to them, “Why do you reason these things in your hearts?
And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said to them, Why reason you these things in your hearts?
9 Which is easier? To say to the paralytic, Your sins are forgiven; or to say, Rise, and take up your pallet, and walk?
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 And that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on the earth to forgive sins—(He says to the paralytic)—
But that 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 to you, rise, and take up your pallet, and go away to your house”;
I say to you, Arise, and take up your bed, and go your way into your house.
12 and he rose immediately, and having taken up the pallet, he went forth before all, so that all were astonished, and glorify God, saying, “Never thus did we see.”
And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; so that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.
13 And He went forth again by the sea, and all the multitude was coming to Him, and He was teaching them,
And he went forth again by the sea side; and all the multitude resorted to him, and he taught them.
14 and passing by, He saw Levi of Alpheus sitting at the tax office, and says to him, “Follow Me,” and he, having risen, followed Him.
And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the receipt of custom, and said to him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him.
15 And it came to pass, in His reclining in his house, that many tax collectors and sinners were dining with Jesus and His disciples, for there were many, and they followed Him.
And it came to pass, that, as Jesus sat at meat 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 the scribes and the Pharisees, having seen Him eating with the tax collectors and sinners, said to His disciples, “Why—that with the tax collectors and sinners He eats and drinks?”
And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said to his disciples, How is it that he eats and drinks with publicans and sinners?
17 And Jesus, having heard, says to them, “They who are strong have no need of a physician, but they who are ill; I did not come to call righteous men, but sinners.”
When Jesus heard it, he says to 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 John and those of the Pharisees were fasting, and they come and say to Him, “Why do the disciples of John and those of the Pharisees fast, and Your disciples do not fast?”
And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees used to fast: and they come and say to him, Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples fast not?
19 And Jesus said to them, “Are the sons of the bride-chamber able, while the bridegroom is with them, to fast? As long a time [as] they have the bridegroom with them they are not able to fast;
And Jesus said to them, Can the children of the bridal chamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? as long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.
20 but days will come when the bridegroom may be taken from them, and then they will fast—in those days.
But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.
21 And no one sews a patch of undressed cloth on an old garment, and if not—the new, filling it up, takes from the old and the split becomes 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 and no one puts new wine into old skins, and if not—the new wine bursts the skins, and the wine is poured out, and the skins will be destroyed; but new wine is to be put into new skins.”
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 marred: but new wine must be put into new bottles.
23 And it came to pass—He is going along on the Sabbaths through the grainfields—and His disciples began to make a way, plucking the ears,
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 Pharisees said to Him, “Behold, why do they do on the Sabbaths that which is not lawful?”
And the Pharisees said to him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful?
25 And He said to them, “Did you never read what David did when he had need and was hungry, he and those with him?
And he said to them, Have you never read what David did, when he had need, and was an hungered, he, and they that were with him?
26 How he went into the house of God, in [the days of] Abiathar the chief priest, and ate the Bread of the Presentation, which it is not lawful to eat, except to the priests, and he also gave to those who were with him?”
How he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and did eat the show bread, which is not lawful to eat but for the priests, and gave also to them which were with him?
27 And He said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath,
And he said to them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:
28 so that the Son of Man is also Lord of the Sabbath.”
Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
