Mark 2
1 And after some days He went again into Capernaum; and it being heard that He was in the house,
And again he entered Capernaum, after some days; and they heard that he was in the house.
2 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,
And immediately many came together, so that the house could contain them no longer, nor could the space about the door. And he preached the word to them.
3 there came some to Him, bringing a paralytic who was carried by four men:
And they came to him, bringing a paralytic, who was carried by four men.
4 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.
And not being able to come near him, on account of the multitude, they took off the roof where he was, and having broken through, they let down the bed on which the paralytic lay.
5 And Jesus, seeing their faith, saith to him that had the palsy, Son, thy sins are forgiven thee.
And Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic: Son, your sins are forgiven you.
6 But there were some of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
But some of the scribes were sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts:
7 Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God?
Why does this man thus speak impiously? Who can forgive sins but God only?
8 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?
And Jesus, immediately perceiving in his spirit that they thus reasoned within themselves, said to them: Why are you reasoning thus in your hearts?
9 Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, Thy sins are forgiven; or to say, Rise, take up thy couch, and walk?
Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, Your sins are forgiven; or to say, Arise, take up your bed and walk?
10 But that ye may know, that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins,
But that you may know that the Son of man on earth has authority to forgive sins, (he said to the paralytic, )
11 I say unto thee (saith He to the paralytic, ) Arise, and take up thy couch, and go thy way to thine own house.
I say to you, Arise, take up your bed and go to your house.
12 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.
And he arose forthwith, and took up his bed, and went out before them all; so that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying: We have never seen it thus.
13 And He went out again towards the sea-side, and all the people resorted to Him, and He taught them.
And he went out again by the sea: and all the multitude came to him, and he taught them.
14 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.
And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphæus sitting at the custom-house; and he said to him: Follow me. And he arose and followed him.
15 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.
And it came to pass, as Jesus reclined at table in his house, that many publicans and sinners reclined with him and his disciples; for there were many, and they followed him.
16 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?
And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eating with publicans and sinners, they said to his disciples: Why is it that he eats and drinks with publicans and sinners?
17 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.
And when Jesus heard it, he said to them: Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I have not come to call righteous men, but sinners.
18 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?
And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees were in the habit of fasting; and they came, and said to him: Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples fast not?
19 And Jesus said unto them, Can the bridemen fast, when the bridegroom is with them? while the bridegroom is with them, they cannot fast:
And Jesus said to 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 can not fast.
20 but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them; and then shall they fast.
But the days will come when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then they will fast in those days.
21 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:
No one sews a patch of new cloth on an old garment; if so, the new piece which fills it up, takes from the old, and a worse rent is made.
22 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.
And no one puts new wine into old bottles; if so, the new wine bursts the bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles are destroyed. But new wine must be put into new bottles.
23 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.
And it came to pass, that he was going on the sabbath-day through the fields of grain: and his disciples began, as they went, to pull the ears of grain.
24 And the pharisees said to Him, See, why do they what is not lawful to be done on the sabbath-day?
And the Pharisees said to him: See, why are they doing on the sabbath-day what is not lawful?
25 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?
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 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!
How he entered the house of God in the days of Abiathar the chief priest, and ate the loaves of the presence, which, it is not lawful, except for the priests, to eat, and gave to those also who were with him?
27 And He said moreover unto them, The sabbath was made for man, not man for the sabbath:
And he said to them: The sabbath was made for man, not man for the sabbath.
28 and therefore the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath.
Therefore, the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
