Mark 2
1 And again he entered into Capernaum, after [some] days, and it was heard that he is in the house,
After a fewe dayes, hee entred into Capernaum againe, and it was noysed that he was in the house.
2 and immediately many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even at the door, and he was speaking to them the word.
And anon, many gathered together, in so much that the places about the doore coulde not receiue any more and he preached the word vnto them.
3 And they come unto him, bringing a paralytic, borne by four,
And there came vnto him, that brought one sicke of the palsie, borne of foure men.
4 and not being able to come near to him because of the multitude, they uncovered the roof where he was, and, having broken [it] up, they let down the couch on which the paralytic was lying,
And because they could not come neere vnto him for the multitude, they vncouered ye roofe of the house where hee was: and when they had broken it open, they let downe the bed, wherein the sicke of the palsie lay.
5 and Jesus having seen their faith, saith to the paralytic, 'Child, thy sins have been forgiven thee.'
Nowe when Iesus sawe their faith, he saide to the sicke of the palsie, Sonne, thy sinnes are forgiuen thee.
6 And there were certain of the scribes there sitting, and reasoning in their hearts,
And there were certaine of the Scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
7 'Why doth this one thus speak evil words? who is able to forgive sins except one — God?'
Why doeth this man speake such blasphemies? who can forgiue sinnes, but God onely?
8 And immediately Jesus, having known in his spirit that they thus reason in themselves, said to them, 'Why these things reason ye in your hearts?
And immediatly when Iesus perceiued in his spirite, that thus they reasoned with themselues, he sayde vnto them, Why reason yee these things in your hearts?
9 which is easier, to say to the paralytic, The sins have been forgiven to thee? or to say, Rise, and take up thy couch, and walk?
Whether is it easier to say to the sicke of the palsie, Thy sinnes are forgiuen thee? or to say, Arise, and take vp thy bed, and walke?
10 'And, that ye may know that the Son of Man hath authority on the earth to forgive sins — (he saith to the paralytic) —
But that ye may knowe, that the Sonne of man hath authoritie in earth to forgiue sinnes, (he sayde vnto the sicke of the palsie.)
11 I say to thee, Rise, and take up thy couch, and go away to thy house;'
I say vnto thee, Arise and take vp thy bed, and get thee hence into thine owne house.
12 and he rose immediately, and having taken up the couch, he went forth before all, so that all were astonished, and do glorify God, saying — 'Never thus did we see.'
And by and by he arose, and tooke vp his bed, and went foorth before them all, in so much that they were all amased, and glorified God, saying, We neuer sawe such a thing.
13 And he went forth again by the sea, and all the multitude was coming unto him, and he was teaching them,
Then he went foorth againe towarde the sea, and all the people resorted vnto him, and he taught them.
14 and passing by, he saw Levi of Alpheus sitting at the tax-office, and saith to him, 'Be following me,' and he, having risen, did follow him.
And as Iesus passed by, hee sawe Leui the sonne of Alpheus sit at the receit of custome, and said vnto him, Folowe me. And he arose and followed him.
15 And it came to pass, in his reclining (at meat) in his house, that many tax-gatherers and sinners were reclining (at meat) with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many, and they followed him.
And it came to passe, as Iesus sate at table in his house, many Publicanes and sinners sate at table also with Iesus, and his disciples: for there were many that followed him.
16 And the scribes and the Pharisees, having seen him eating with the tax-gatherers and sinners, said to his disciples, 'Why — that with the tax-gatherers and sinners he doth eat and drink?'
And when the Scribes and Pharises sawe him eate with the Publicanes and sinners, they sayd vnto his disciples, Howe is it, that hee eateth and drinketh with Publicanes and sinners?
17 And Jesus, having heard, saith to them, 'They who are strong have no need of a physician, but they who are ill; I came not to call righteous men, but sinners to reformation.'
Now when Iesus heard it, hee sayde vnto them, The whole haue no neede of the Physicion, but the sicke. I came not to call the righteous, but the sinners to repentance.
18 And the disciples of John and those of the Pharisees were fasting, and they come and say to him, 'Wherefore do the disciples of John and those of the Pharisees fast, and thy disciples do not fast?'
And the disciples of Iohn, and the Pharises did fast, and came and saide vnto him, Why doe the disciples of Iohn, and of the Pharises fast, and thy disciples fast not?
19 And Jesus said to them, 'Are the sons of the bride-chamber able, while the bridegroom is with them, to fast? so long time as they have the bridegroom with them they are not able to fast;
And Iesus saide vnto them, Can the children of the marriage chamber fast, whiles the bridegrome is with them? as long as they haue the bridegrome with them, they cannot fast.
20 but days shall come when the bridegroom may be taken from them, and then they shall fast — in those days.
But the daies will come, when the bridegrome shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast in those daies.
21 'And no one a patch of undressed cloth doth sew on an old garment, and if not — the new filling it up doth take from the old and the rent doth become worse;
Also no man soweth a piece of newe cloth in an olde garment: for els the newe piece that filled it vp, taketh away somewhat from the olde, and the breach is worse.
22 and no one doth put new wine into old skins, and if not — the new wine doth burst the skins, and the wine is poured out, and the skins will be destroyed; but new wine into new skins is to be put.'
Likewise, no man putteth newe wine into old vessels: for els the new wine breaketh the vessels, and the wine runneth out, and the vessels are lost: but newe wine must be put into new vessels.
23 And it came to pass — he is going along on the sabbaths through the corn-fields — and his disciples began to make a way, plucking the ears,
And it came to passe as hee went through the corne on the Sabbath day, that his disciples, as they went on their way, began to plucke the eares of corne.
24 and the Pharisees said to him, 'Lo, why do they on the sabbaths that which is not lawful?'
And the Pharises saide vnto him, Beholde, why doe they on the Sabbath day, that which is not lawfull?
25 And he said to them, 'Did ye never read what David did, when he had need and was hungry, he and those with him?
And he saide to them, Haue yee neuer read what Dauid did when he had neede, and was an hungred, both he, and they that were with him?
26 how he went into the house of God, (at 'Abiathar the chief priest,') and the loaves of the presentation did eat, which it is not lawful to eat, except to the priests, and he gave also to those who were with him?'
Howe he went into the house of God, in the daies of Abiathar the hie Priest, and did eat the shewe bread, which were not lawfull to eate, but for the Priests, and gaue also to them which were with him?
27 And he said to them, 'The sabbath for man was made, not man for the sabbath,
And hee sayde to them, The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath.
28 so that the son of man is lord also of the sabbath.'
Wherefore the Sonne of man is Lord, euen of the Sabbath.
