Mark 2
1 After a feawe dayes he entred into Capernaum agayne and it was noysed that he was in a housse.
Well a few days later, He again entered Capernaum, and it was heard that He was at home.
2 And anone many gadered to geder in so moche that now there was no roume to receave them: no not so moche as about the dore. And he preached the worde vnto them.
Without delay so many were gathered together that there was no more room, not even around the door, and He was speaking the Word to them.
3 And there came vnto him that brought one sicke of the palsie borne of fower men.
Then four men came, carrying a paralytic to Him.
4 And because they coulde not come nye vnto him for preace they vncovered ye rofe of the housse where he was. And when they had broken it ope they let doune ye beed where in ye sicke of the palsie laye.
And not being able to get near Him because of the crowd, they removed the roof where He was; upon breaking through they lowered the pallet on which the paralytic was lying.
5 When Iesus sawe their fayth he sayde to the sicke of the palsie sonne thy sinnes are forgeven the.
So seeing their faith Jesus says to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.”
6 And ther were certayne of ye scribes sittinge there and reasoninge in their hertes:
Now some of the scribes were sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts:
7 how doeth this felowe so blaspheme? Who can forgeve synnes but God only?
“Why does this guy speak blasphemies like that? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”
8 And immediatly whe Iesus perceaved in his sprete yt they so reasoned in the selves he sayde vnto them: why thynke ye soche thinges in youre hertes?
Immediately Jesus perceived in His spirit what they were reasoning within themselves and said to them: “Why are you reasoning these things in your hearts?
9 Whether is it easyer to saye to ye sicke of ye palsie thy synnes are forgeven the or to saye aryse take vp thy beed and walke?
Which is easier: to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins have been forgiven’, or to say, ‘Get up, pick up your pallet and start walking!’?
10 That ye maye knowe yt the sonne of man hath power in erth to forgeve synnes he spake vnto ye sicke of the palsie:
But so that you may know that the Son of the Man has authority on the earth to forgive sins”—He says to the paralytic:
11 I saye vnto ye aryse and take vp thy beed and get ye hense into thyne awne housse.
“To you I say, get up, pick up your pallet and go to your house!”
12 And by and by he arose toke vp the beed and went forth before them all: in so moche that they were all amased and glorified God sayinge: we never sawe it on this fassion.
So forthwith he got up, picked up his pallet and went out in front of them all; so that all were amazed and glorified God, saying, “We never saw anything like this!”
13 And he went agayne vnto the see and all the people resorted vnto him and he taught the.
Then He went out again by the sea; and the whole crowd came to Him, and He began to teach them.
14 And as Iesus passed by he sawe Levy ye sonne of Alphey syt at the receyte of custome and sayde vnto him: folowe me. And he arose and folowed him.
As He passed by, He saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax office, and He said to him, “Follow me!” So he got up and followed Him.
15 And it came to passe as Iesus sate at meate in his housse many publicans and synners sate at meate also with Iesus and his disciples. For there were many that folowed him.
Now it happened, as He was reclining at the table in his house, that many tax collectors and sinners joined Jesus and His disciples at the table; for there were many and they followed Him.
16 And when the Scribes and Pharises sawe him eate with publicas and synnere they sayde vnto his disciples: how is it that he eateth and drynketh with publicas and synners?
The scribes and the Pharisees, seeing Him eating with the tax collectors and sinners, said to His disciples, “Why is it that He is eating and drinking with the tax collectors and sinners?”
17 When Iesus hearde yt he sayde vnto them. The whole have no nede of the phisicio but the sicke. I came not to call the rightwise but the synners to repentaunce.
Upon hearing it Jesus said to them: “It is not the healthy who have need of a doctor, but those who are sick. I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
18 And the disciples of Iohn and the Pharises dyd faste: and therfore came and sayde vnto him. Why do ye disciples of Iohn and of the Pharises faste and thy disciples fast not.
Now John's disciples and those of the Pharisees were fasting; and they came and said to Him, “Why do John's disciples and those of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not?”
19 And Iesus sayde vnto them: can the chyldren of a weddinge faste while the brydgrome is wt them. As longe as they have the brydgrome with them they cannot faste.
So Jesus said to them: “Can the groomsmen fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom to themselves they cannot fast.
20 But the dayes will come when the brydgrome shalbe taken from them and then shall they faste in those dayes.
But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast, in those days.
21 Also no ma soweth a pece of newe cloth vnto an olde garmet for then taketh he awaye ye newe pece fro the olde and so is the rent worsse.
“Further, no one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, or else the new tears away some of the old, and a worse hole results.
22 In lyke wyse no man poureth newe wyne into olde vessels: for yf he do the newe wyne breaketh the vessels and the wyne runneth out and the vessels are marred. But new wyne must be poured into new vessels.
And no one puts new wine into old wineskins, or else the new wine bursts the wineskins, the wine spills out and the skins will be ruined; rather, new wine must be put into new wineskins.”
23 And it chaunsed that he wet thorow ye corne feldes on the Saboth daye: and his disciples as they went on their waye beganne to plucke the eares of corne.
Now it happened, on a Sabbath, that He was passing through some grain fields, and His disciples began to make a path, picking the heads of grain.
24 And the Pharises sayde vnto him: beholde why do they on the Saboth dayes yt which is not laufull?
So the Pharisees said to Him, “Just look, why are they doing on a Sabbath that which is not permitted?”
25 And he sayde to them: have ye never rede what David dyd when he had nede and was anhogred bothe he and they that were with him?
And He said to them: “Did you never read what David did when he was in need and hungry, he and those with him?
26 How he went into the housse of God in the dayes of Abiathar ye hye preste and dyd eate ye halowed loves which is not laufull to eate but for ye prestes only: and gave also to the which were with him?
How he entered the house of God (making Abiathar high priest) and ate the consecrated bread, which only priests are permitted to eat, and shared it with those who were with him?”
27 And he sayde to them: the Saboth daye was made for man and not man for the Saboth daye.
Then He said to them: “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.
28 Wherfore the sonne of man is Lorde eve of the Saboth daye.
Therefore the Son of the Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”
