< Mark 2 >
1 And again He entered into Capernaum, after [some] days, and it was heard that He is in the house,
Καὶ εἰσελθὼν πάλιν εἰς Καφαρναοὺμ διʼ ἡμερῶν, ἠκούσθη ὅτι ἐν οἴκῳ ἐστίν.
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.
Καὶ συνήχθησαν πολλοὶ, ὥστε μηκέτι χωρεῖν, μηδὲ τὰ πρὸς τὴν θύραν, καὶ ἐλάλει αὐτοῖς τὸν λόγον.
3 And they come to Him, bringing a paralytic, carried by four,
Καὶ ἔρχονται φέροντες πρὸς αὐτὸν παραλυτικὸν, αἰρόμενον ὑπὸ τεσσάρων.
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,
Καὶ μὴ δυνάμενοι προσενέγκαι αὐτῷ διὰ τὸν ὄχλον, ἀπεστέγασαν τὴν στέγην ὅπου ἦν, καὶ ἐξορύξαντες, χαλῶσι τὸν κράβαττον ὅπου ὁ παραλυτικὸς κατέκειτο.
5 and Jesus having seen their faith, says to the paralytic, “Child, your sins have been forgiven you.”
Καὶ ἰδὼν ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς τὴν πίστιν αὐτῶν, λέγει τῷ παραλυτικῷ, “Τέκνον, ἀφέωνται σου αἱ ἁμαρτίαι.”
6 And there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
Ἦσαν δέ τινες τῶν γραμματέων ἐκεῖ, καθήμενοι καὶ διαλογιζόμενοι ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις αὐτῶν,
7 “Why does this One thus speak evil words? Who is able to forgive sins except one—God?”
“Τί οὗτος οὕτως λαλεῖ; Βλασφημεῖ! Τίς δύναται ἀφιέναι ἁμαρτίας, εἰ μὴ εἷς ὁ ˚Θεός;”
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?
Καὶ εὐθὺς ἐπιγνοὺς ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς τῷ πνεύματι αὐτοῦ ὅτι οὕτως διαλογίζονται ἐν ἑαυτοῖς, λέγει αὐτοῖς, “Τί ταῦτα διαλογίζεσθε ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ὑμῶν;
9 Which is easier? To say to the paralytic, Your sins are forgiven; or to say, Rise, and take up your pallet, and walk?
Τί ἐστιν εὐκοπώτερον, εἰπεῖν τῷ παραλυτικῷ, ἀφέωνταί σοι αἱ ἁμαρτίαι’, ἢ εἰπεῖν, ‘Ἔγειρε καὶ ἆρον τὸν κράβαττόν σου καὶ περιπάτει’;
10 And that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on the earth to forgive sins—(He says to the paralytic)—
Ἵνα δὲ εἰδῆτε ὅτι ἐξουσίαν ἔχει ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ἀφιέναι ἁμαρτίας”, (λέγει τῷ παραλυτικῷ),
11 I say to you, rise, and take up your pallet, and go away to your house”;
“Σοὶ λέγω, ἔγειρε ἆρον τὸν κράβαττόν σου, καὶ ὕπαγε εἰς τὸν οἶκόν σου.”
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.”
Καὶ ἠγέρθη, καὶ εὐθὺς ἄρας τὸν κράβαττον, ἐξῆλθεν ἔμπροσθεν πάντων, ὥστε ἐξίστασθαι πάντας, καὶ δοξάζειν τὸν ˚Θεὸν λέγοντας, ὅτι “Οὕτως οὐδέποτε εἴδομεν.”
13 And He went forth again by the sea, and all the multitude was coming to Him, and He was teaching them,
Καὶ ἐξῆλθεν πάλιν παρὰ τὴν θάλασσαν, καὶ πᾶς ὁ ὄχλος ἤρχετο πρὸς αὐτόν, καὶ ἐδίδασκεν αὐτούς.
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.
Καὶ παράγων εἶδεν Λευὶν τὸν τοῦ Ἁλφαίου, καθήμενον ἐπὶ τὸ τελώνιον, καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ, “Ἀκολούθει μοι.” Καὶ ἀναστὰς, ἠκολούθησεν αὐτῷ.
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.
Καὶ γίνεται κατακεῖσθαι αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ αὐτοῦ, καὶ πολλοὶ τελῶναι καὶ ἁμαρτωλοὶ συνανέκειντο τῷ ˚Ἰησοῦ καὶ τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ, ἦσαν γὰρ πολλοὶ, καὶ ἠκολούθουν αὐτῷ.
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?”
Καὶ οἱ γραμματεῖς τῶν Φαρισαίων, ἰδόντες ὅτι ἐσθίει μετὰ τῶν ἁμαρτωλῶν καὶ τῶν τελωνῶν, ἔλεγον τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ, ὅτι “Μετὰ τῶν τελωνῶν καὶ ἁμαρτωλῶν ἐσθίει;”
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.”
Καὶ ἀκούσας, ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς λέγει αὐτοῖς, “Οὐ χρείαν ἔχουσιν οἱ ἰσχύοντες ἰατροῦ, ἀλλʼ οἱ κακῶς ἔχοντες. Οὐκ ἦλθον καλέσαι δικαίους, ἀλλὰ ἁμαρτωλούς.”
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?”
Καὶ ἦσαν οἱ μαθηταὶ Ἰωάννου καὶ οἱ Φαρισαῖοι νηστεύοντες. Καὶ ἔρχονται καὶ λέγουσιν αὐτῷ, “Διὰ τί οἱ μαθηταὶ Ἰωάννου καὶ οἱ μαθηταὶ τῶν Φαρισαίων νηστεύουσιν, οἱ δὲ σοὶ μαθηταὶ οὐ νηστεύουσιν;”
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;
Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Μὴ δύνανται οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ νυμφῶνος ἐν ᾧ ὁ νυμφίος μετʼ αὐτῶν ἐστιν νηστεύειν; Ὅσον χρόνον ἔχουσιν τὸν νυμφίον μετʼ αὐτῶν, οὐ δύνανται νηστεύειν.
20 but days will come when the bridegroom may be taken from them, and then they will fast—in those days.
Ἐλεύσονται δὲ ἡμέραι ὅταν ἀπαρθῇ ἀπʼ αὐτῶν ὁ νυμφίος, καὶ τότε νηστεύσουσιν ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ.
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;
Οὐδεὶς ἐπίβλημα ῥάκους ἀγνάφου ἐπιράπτει ἐπὶ ἱμάτιον παλαιόν· εἰ δὲ μή αἴρει ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ τὸ πλήρωμα τὸ καινὸν τοῦ παλαιοῦ, καὶ χεῖρον σχίσμα γίνεται.
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.”
Καὶ οὐδεὶς βάλλει οἶνον νέον εἰς ἀσκοὺς παλαιούς· εἰ δὲ μή ῥήξει ὁ οἶνος τοὺς ἀσκούς, καὶ ὁ οἶνος ἀπόλλυται καὶ οἱ ἀσκοί. Ἀλλὰ οἶνον νέον εἰς ἀσκοὺς καινοὺς βλητέον.”
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,
Καὶ ἐγένετο, αὐτὸν ἐν τοῖς Σάββασιν παραπορεύεσθαι διὰ τῶν σπορίμων, καὶ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ ἤρξαντο ὁδὸν ποιεῖν, τίλλοντες τοὺς στάχυας.
24 and the Pharisees said to Him, “Behold, why do they do on the Sabbaths that which is not lawful?”
Καὶ οἱ Φαρισαῖοι ἔλεγον αὐτῷ, “Ἴδε, τί ποιοῦσιν τοῖς Σάββασιν ὃ οὐκ ἔξεστιν;”
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?
Καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς, “Οὐδέποτε ἀνέγνωτε τί ἐποίησεν Δαυὶδ, ὅτε χρείαν ἔσχεν καὶ ἐπείνασεν, αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ μετʼ αὐτοῦ;
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?”
Πῶς εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ ἐπὶ Ἀβιαθὰρ ἀρχιερέως, καὶ τοὺς ἄρτους τῆς Προθέσεως ἔφαγεν, οὓς οὐκ ἔξεστιν φαγεῖν, εἰ μὴ τοὺς ἱερεῖς, καὶ ἔδωκεν καὶ τοῖς σὺν αὐτῷ οὖσιν;”
27 And He said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath,
Καὶ ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς, “Τὸ Σάββατον διὰ τὸν ἄνθρωπον ἐγένετο, καὶ οὐχ ὁ ἄνθρωπος διὰ τὸ Σάββατον.
28 so that the Son of Man is also Lord of the Sabbath.”
Ὥστε ˚Κύριός ἐστιν ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου καὶ τοῦ Σαββάτου.”
