Mark 2
1 And again He entered into Capernaum, after [some] days, and it was heard that He is in the house,
And when he entered again into Capernaum after some days, 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 many were gathered together, so that there was no longer room [for them], no, not even about the door: and he spake the word unto them.
3 And they come to Him, bringing a paralytic, carried by four,
And they come, bringing unto him a man sick of the palsy, 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 nigh unto him for the crowd, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed whereon the sick of the palsy lay.
5 and Jesus having seen their faith, says to the paralytic, “Child, your sins have been forgiven you.”
And Jesus seeing their faith saith unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins are forgiven.
6 And there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
But there were 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 doth this man thus speak? he blasphemeth: who can forgive sins but one, [even] God?
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 straightway Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, saith unto them, Why reason ye 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 easier, to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins are forgiven; or to say, Arise, and take up thy 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 ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins (he saith 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 unto thee, Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thy 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 he arose, and straightway 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 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 unto 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 place of toll, and he saith unto 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 he was sitting at meat in his house, and many publicans and sinners sat down 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 the scribes of the Pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with the sinners and publicans, said unto his disciples, He eateth and drinketh 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.”
And when Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of a physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.
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 John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting: and they come and say unto him, Why do John’s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but thy 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 unto them, Can the sons 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 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 will they fast in that day.
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 seweth a piece of undressed cloth on an old garment: else that which should fill it up taketh from it, the new from the old, and a worse rent is made.
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 putteth new wine into old wineskins: else the wine will burst the skins, and the wine perisheth, and the skins: but [they put] new wine into fresh wineskins.
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 was going on the sabbath day through the cornfields; 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 unto 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 unto them, Did ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was an hungred, 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 entered into the house of God when Abiathar was high priest, and did eat the shewbread, which it is not lawful to eat save for the priests, and gave also to them that were with him?
27 And He said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath,
And he said unto 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.”
so that the Son of man is lord even of the sabbath.
