Marcum 2
1 Et iterum intravit Capharnaum post dies,
And when he entered again into Capernaum after some days, it was noised that he was in the house.
2 et auditum est quod in domo esset, et convenerunt multi, ita ut non caperet neque ad januam, et loquebatur eis verbum.
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.
3 Et venerunt ad eum ferentes paralyticum, qui a quatuor portabatur.
And they come, bringing unto him a man sick of the palsy, borne of four.
4 Et cum non possent offerre eum illi præ turba, nudaverunt tectum ubi erat: et patefacientes submiserunt grabatum in quo paralyticus jacebat.
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.
5 Cum autem vidisset Jesus fidem illorum, ait paralytico: Fili, dimittuntur tibi peccata tua.
And Jesus seeing their faith saith unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins are forgiven.
6 Erant autem illic quidam de scribis sedentes, et cogitantes in cordibus suis:
But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
7 Quid hic sic loquitur? blasphemat. Quis potest dimittere peccata, nisi solus Deus?
Why doth this man thus speak? he blasphemeth: who can forgive sins but one, [even] God?
8 Quo statim cognito Jesus spiritu suo, quia sic cogitarent intra se, dicit illis: Quid ista cogitatis in cordibus vestris?
And straightway Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, saith unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?
9 Quid est facilius dicere paralytico: Dimittuntur tibi peccata: an dicere: Surge, tolle grabatum tuum, et ambula?
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?
10 Ut autem sciatis quia Filius hominis habet potestatem in terra dimittendi peccata (ait paralytico),
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),
11 tibi dico: Surge, tolle grabatum tuum, et vade in domum tuam.
I say unto thee, Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thy house.
12 Et statim surrexit ille: et, sublato grabato, abiit coram omnibus, ita ut mirarentur omnes, et honorificent Deum, dicentes: Quia numquam sic vidimus.
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.
13 Et egressus est rursus ad mare, omnisque turba veniebat ad eum, et docebat eos.
And he went forth again by the sea side; and all the multitude resorted unto him, and he taught them.
14 Et cum præteriret, vidit Levi Alphæi sedentem ad telonium, et ait illi: Sequere me. Et surgens secutus est eum.
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.
15 Et factum est, cum accumberet in domo illius, multi publicani et peccatores simul discumbebant cum Jesu et discipulis ejus: erant enim multi, qui et sequebantur eum.
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.
16 Et scribæ et pharisæi videntes quia manducaret cum publicanis et peccatoribus, dicebant discipulis ejus: Quare cum publicanis et peccatoribus manducat et bibit Magister vester?
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.
17 Hoc audito Jesus ait illis: Non necesse habent sani medico, sed qui male habent: non enim veni vocare justos, sed peccatores.
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.
18 Et erant discipuli Joannis et pharisæi jejunantes: et veniunt, et dicunt illi: Quare discipuli Joannis et pharisæorum jejunant, tui autem discipuli non jejunant?
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?
19 Et ait illis Jesus: Numquid possunt filii nuptiarum, quamdiu sponsus cum illis est, jejunare? Quanto tempore habent secum sponsum, non possunt jejunare.
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.
20 Venient autem dies cum auferetur ab eis sponsus: et tunc jejunabunt in illis diebus.
But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then will they fast in that day.
21 Nemo assumentum panni rudis assuit vestimento veteri: alioquin aufert supplementum novum a veteri, et major scissura fit.
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.
22 Et nemo mittit vinum novum in utres veteres: alioquin dirumpet vinum utres, et vinum effundetur, et utres peribunt: sed vinum novum in utres novos mitti debet.
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.
23 Et factum est iterum cum Dominus sabbatis ambularet per sata, et discipuli ejus cœperunt progredi, et vellere spicas.
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.
24 Pharisæi autem dicebant ei: Ecce, quid faciunt sabbatis quod non licet?
And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful?
25 Et ait illis: Numquam legistis quid fecerit David, quando necessitatem habuit, et esuriit ipse, et qui cum eo erant?
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?
26 quomodo introivit in domum Dei sub Abiathar principe sacerdotum, et panes propositionis manducavit, quos non licebat manducare, nisi sacerdotibus, et dedit eis qui cum eo erant?
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?
27 Et dicebat eis: Sabbatum propter hominem factum est, et non homo propter sabbatum.
And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:
28 Itaque Dominus est Filius hominis, etiam sabbati.
so that the Son of man is lord even of the sabbath.
