Mark 2
1 And when he entered again into Capernaum after some days, it was heard that he was in the house.
And again he entered into Capharnaum after some days.
2 And many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even around the door; and he spoke the word to them.
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.
3 And four people came, carrying a paralytic to him.
And they came to him, bringing one sick of the palsy, who was carried by four.
4 And when they could not bring him because of the crowd, they removed the roof above him. When they had broken it up, they let down the mat that the paralytic was lying on.
And when they could not offer him unto him for the multitude, they uncovered the roof where he was; and opening it, they let down the bed wherein the man sick of the palsy lay.
5 And Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, "Son, your sins are forgiven you."
And when Jesus had seen their faith, he saith to the sick of the palsy: Son, thy sins are forgiven thee.
6 But there were some of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
And there were some of the scribes sitting there, and thinking in their hearts:
7 "Why does this man speak like that? He is blaspheming; who can forgive sins but God alone?"
Why doth this man speak thus? he blasphemeth. Who can forgive sins, but God only?
8 And immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, said to them, "Why do you reason these things in your hearts?
Which Jesus presently knowing in his spirit, that they so thought within themselves, saith to them: Why think you these things in your hearts?
9 Which is easier, to tell the paralytic, 'Your sins are forgiven;' or to say, 'Arise, and take up your bed, and walk?'
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?
10 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins", he said to the paralytic,
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, )
11 "I tell you, arise, take up your mat, and go to your house."
I say to thee: Arise, take up thy bed, and go into thy house.
12 And he arose immediately, and took up the mat, and went out in front of them all; so that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, "We never saw anything like this."
And immediately he arose; and taking up his bed, went his way in the sight of all; so that all wondered and glorified God, saying: We never saw the like.
13 And he went out again by the seaside. All the crowd came to him, and he taught them.
And he went forth again to the sea side; and all the multitude came to him, and he taught them.
14 And as he passed by, he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, sitting at the tax office, and he said to him, "Follow me." And he arose and followed him.
And when he was passing by, he saw Levi the son of Alpheus sitting at the receipt of custom; and he saith to him: Follow me. And rising up, he followed him.
15 It happened, that he was reclining at the table in his house, and many tax collectors and sinners sat down with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many, and they followed him.
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.
16 And the scribes of the Pharisees, when they saw him eating with the tax collectors and sinners, said to his disciples, "Why is it that he eats and drinks with tax collectors and sinners?"
And the scribes and the Pharisees, seeing that he ate with publicans and sinners, said to his disiples: Why doth your master eat and drink with publicans and sinners?
17 And when Jesus heard it, he said to them, "Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners."
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.
18 And John's disciples and the Pharisees were fasting, and they came and asked him, "Why do the disciples of John and those of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?"
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?
19 And Jesus said to them, "Can the groomsmen fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.
And Jesus saith to them: Can the children of the marriage fast, as long as the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.
20 But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then will they fast in that day.
But the days will come when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them; and then they shall fast in those days.
21 No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, or else the patch shrinks and the new tears away from the old, and a worse hole is made.
No man seweth a piece of raw cloth to an old garment: otherwise the new piecing taketh away from the old, and there is made a greater rent.
22 And no one puts new wine into old wineskins, or else the wine will burst the skins, and the wine is lost, and the skins will be destroyed; but one puts new wine into fresh wineskins."
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.
23 And it happened that he was going on the Sabbath day through the grain fields, and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of grain.
And it came to pass again, as the Lord walked through the corn fields on the sabbath, that his disciples began to go forward, and to pluck the ears of corn.
24 And the Pharisees said to him, "Look, why do they do that which is not lawful on the Sabbath day?"
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 who were with him?
And he said to them: Have you never read what David did when he had need, and was hungry himself, and they that were with him?
26 How he entered into the house of God in the time of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the show bread, which is not lawful to eat except for the priests, and gave also to those who were with him?"
How he went into the house of God, under Abiathar the high priest, and did eat the loaves of proposition, which was not lawful to eat but for the priests, and gave to them who were with him?
27 And he said to them, "The Sabbath was made for people, not people for the Sabbath.
And he said to them: The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath.
28 Therefore the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath."
Therefore the Son of man is Lord of the sabbath also.
