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 Capernaum after some days: and it was heard, that he was in the house;
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 immediately many collected round him, so that there was no room, not even at the door; and he spake the word to them.
3 And four people came, carrying a paralytic to him.
And they come to him, carrying a paralytic, borne of 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 not being able to come nigh him because of the crowd, they stripped off the roofing of the house where he was; and having broken a way through, they let down with ropes the couch, on which the paralytic lay.
5 And Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, "Son, your sins are forgiven you."
Then Jesus beholding their faith, saith to the paralytic, Son, thy sins are forgiven thee.
6 But there were some of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
Now there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning 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 thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but the one God?
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?
And instantly Jesus knowing by his spirit, that they reasoned thus among each other, said to them, Why reason ye about 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 the easier thing, to say to a paralytic, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, Arise and take up thy couch, and walk away?
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 ye may know that the Son of man hath authority upon earth to forgive sins, he saith to the paralytic,
11 "I tell you, arise, take up your mat, and go to your house."
I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, 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 he arose instantly, and taking up his couch, went out before them all; so that they were all astonished, and glorified God, saying, We never before saw any thing like this.
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 people came unto 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 passing by, he saw Levi the son of Alpheus sitting at the custom-house, and he saith to him, Follow me. And he arose and 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, as he sat at table in his house, many publicans also, and sinners, sat down with Jesus and his disciples; for they were numerous, and they 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 him eat with publicans and sinners, said to his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh 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."
And when Jesus heard it, he said unto them, They who are in strong health have no need of a physician, but they who have illness: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
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 disciples of John and of the Pharisees kept fasts; and they came and said to him, Wherefore do the disciples of John, and of the Pharisees, fast? but thy disciples keep no 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 said to them, Can the children of the bridechamber fast, while 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 shall they 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.
And no man seweth on a patch of cloth undressed upon an old garment: but if otherwise, the new piece supplied taketh away from the old, and the rent is made worse.
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; but if otherwise, the new wine will burst the bottles, and the wine will be spilt, and the bottles destroyed: 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.

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, See, why are they doing on the sabbath, what 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?

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 entered into the house of God to Abiathar the high-priest; and did eat the shewbread, which it was not lawful for any to eat except the priests, and he gave also to those who were with him?
27 And he said to them, "The Sabbath was made for people, not people for the Sabbath.
And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, not man for the sabbath.
28 Therefore the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath."
Wherefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
