Mark 2
1 And after some days he again entered Capernaum; and it was reported 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 longer room for them, even at the door; and he was speaking 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 they come to him, bringing one that was palsied, borne by four men.
And they came to him, bringing one sick of the palsy, who was carried by four.
4 And not being able to bring him to him on account of the crowd, they took off the roof where he was; and when they had broken an opening, they let down the bed whereon the palsied man lay.
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, saith to the palsied man, Son, thy sins are forgiven.
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,

7 Why doth this man speak thus? He blasphemeth; who can forgive sins but God only?
Why doth this man speak thus? he blasphemeth. Who can forgive sins, but God only?
8 And Jesus immediately perceiving in his spirit that they reasoned thus within themselves, saith to them, Why do ye reason thus 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 say to the palsied man, Thy sins are forgiven? or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed and go?
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 ye may know that the Son of man hath authority on earth to forgive sins, —he saith to the palsied man, —
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 say to thee, Arise, take up thy bed and go to thy house.
I say to thee: Arise, take up thy bed, and go into thy house.
12 And he arose, and immediately took up the bed and went forth before them all; so that they were all amazed, and gave glory to God, saying, We never saw it thus.
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.

15 And it happened that he was reclining at table in his house; and many publicans and sinners were reclining with Jesus and his disciples; for there were many, and scribes of the Pharisees were also following 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 when they saw that he was eating with the publicans and sinners, they said to his disciples, Doth he eat and drink with publicans 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 Jesus hearing it, saith to them, They who are well do not need a physician, but they who are sick. I came not to call righteous men, 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 the disciples of John and the Pharisees were fasting; and they come and say to him, Why do the disciples of John and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, and thy disciples fast not?
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 companions of the bridegroom 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 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 seweth a patch of undressed cloth on an old garment; for the new piece teareth away from the old garment, and a worse rent 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 putteth new wine into old skins; for the new wine will burst the skins, and the wine is lost, and the skins.
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 came to pass, that he was going through the grain-fields on the sabbath, and his disciples began, as they went along, to pluck the ears of grain.

26 how he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high-priest, and ate the show-bread, which it is lawful for none but the priests to eat, and gave also to those who were with him?

27 And he said to them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath.
And he said to them: The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath.

Therefore the Son of man is Lord of the sabbath also.
