Mark 2
1 And when he entered again into Capernaum after some days, it was noised that he was in the house.
And after some days He went again into Capernaum; and it being heard that He was in the house,
2 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.
great numbers were immediately gathered together, so that there was no more room to contain them, not even about the door: and as he was preaching the word unto them,
3 And they come, bringing unto him a man sick of the palsy, borne of four.
there came some to Him, bringing a paralytic who was carried by four men:
4 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.
and not being able to come near to Him for the croud, they uncovered the roof where He was, and when they had made an openning, they let down the couch on which the paralytic was laid.
5 And Jesus seeing their faith saith unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins are forgiven.
And Jesus, seeing their faith, saith to him that had the palsy, Son, thy sins are forgiven thee.
6 But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
But there were some of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
7 Why doth this man thus speak? he blasphemeth: who can forgive sins but one, [even] God?
Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God?
8 And straightway Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, saith unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?
And Jesus, who knew immediately in his spirit that they were thus reasoning within themselves, said unto them, Why do ye dispute these things in your hearts?
9 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?
Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, Thy sins are forgiven; or to say, Rise, take up thy couch, and walk?
10 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),
But that ye may know, that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins,
11 I say unto thee, Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thy house.
I say unto thee (saith He to the paralytic, ) Arise, and take up thy couch, and go thy way to thine own house.
12 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.
And he instantly arose, and taking up his couch, went out before them all, so that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, we never saw the like.
13 And he went forth again by the sea side; and all the multitude resorted unto him, and he taught them.
And He went out again towards the sea-side, and all the people resorted to Him, and He taught them.
14 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.
And as He went along, He saw Levi the son of Alpheus, sitting at the receit of custom, and saith unto him, Follow me: and he rose up and followed Him.
15 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.
And as He sat at table in his house, many publicans and sinners also sat down with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed Him.
16 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.
And the scribes and pharisees, when they saw Him eating with publicans and sinners, said to his disciples, What is the meaning that He eateth with publicans and sinners?
17 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.
Which Jesus hearing, saith unto them, They that are in health have no need of a physician, but they that are ill: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.
18 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?
And as the disciples of John, and of the pharisees used to fast, they came to Him, saying, Why do the disciples of John and of the pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not?
19 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.
And Jesus said unto them, Can the bridemen fast, when the bridegroom is with them? while the bridegroom is with them, they cannot fast:
20 But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then will they fast in that day.
but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them; and then shall they fast.
21 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.
No man seweth a piece of new cloth on an old garment; otherwise, it's new patch teareth from the old, and the rent is made worse:
22 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.
nor does any one put new wine into old vessels; otherwise the new wine bursteth the vessels, and the wine is spilt, and the vessels are destroyed: but new wine should be put into new vessels.
23 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.
And as He was going thro' the corn-fields on the sabbath-day, his disciples began as they went along to pluck the ears of corn.
24 And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful?
And the pharisees said to Him, See, why do they what is not lawful to be done on the sabbath-day?
25 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?
And He said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, in his necessity, when he was hungry, himself and those that were with him?
26 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?
how he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar, who was afterwards the high priest, and did eat the shew-bread, which it is not lawful for any to eat, but the priests, and gave also to them that were with him!
27 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:
And He said moreover unto them, The sabbath was made for man, not man for the sabbath:
28 so that the Son of man is lord even of the sabbath.
and therefore the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath.
