Mark 2
1 When he entered again into Capernaum after some days, it was heard that he was at home.
Καὶ εἰσελθὼν πάλιν εἰς Καφαρναοὺμ διʼ ἡμερῶν, ἠκούσθη ὅτι ἐν οἴκῳ ἐστίν.
2 Immediately many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even around the door; and he spoke the word to them.
Καὶ συνήχθησαν πολλοὶ, ὥστε μηκέτι χωρεῖν, μηδὲ τὰ πρὸς τὴν θύραν, καὶ ἐλάλει αὐτοῖς τὸν λόγον.
3 Four people came, carrying a paralytic to him.
Καὶ ἔρχονται φέροντες πρὸς αὐτὸν παραλυτικὸν, αἰρόμενον ὑπὸ τεσσάρων.
4 When they could not come near to him for the crowd, they removed the roof where he was. When they had broken it up, they let down the mat that the paralytic was lying on.
Καὶ μὴ δυνάμενοι προσενέγκαι αὐτῷ διὰ τὸν ὄχλον, ἀπεστέγασαν τὴν στέγην ὅπου ἦν, καὶ ἐξορύξαντες, χαλῶσι τὸν κράβαττον ὅπου ὁ παραλυτικὸς κατέκειτο.
5 Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.”
Καὶ ἰδὼν ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς τὴν πίστιν αὐτῶν, λέγει τῷ παραλυτικῷ, “Τέκνον, ἀφέωνται σου αἱ ἁμαρτίαι.”
6 But there were some of the scribes sitting there and reasoning in their hearts,
Ἦσαν δέ τινες τῶν γραμματέων ἐκεῖ, καθήμενοι καὶ διαλογιζόμενοι ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις αὐτῶν,
7 “Why does this man speak blasphemies like that? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”
“Τί οὗτος οὕτως λαλεῖ; Βλασφημεῖ! Τίς δύναται ἀφιέναι ἁμαρτίας, εἰ μὴ εἷς ὁ ˚Θεός;”
8 Immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, said to them, “Why do you reason these things in your hearts?
Καὶ εὐθὺς ἐπιγνοὺς ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς τῷ πνεύματι αὐτοῦ ὅτι οὕτως διαλογίζονται ἐν ἑαυτοῖς, λέγει αὐτοῖς, “Τί ταῦτα διαλογίζεσθε ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ὑμῶν;
9 Which is easier, to tell the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven;’ or to say, ‘Arise, and take up your bed, and walk’?
Τί ἐστιν εὐκοπώτερον, εἰπεῖν τῷ παραλυτικῷ, ἀφέωνταί σοι αἱ ἁμαρτίαι’, ἢ εἰπεῖν, ‘Ἔγειρε καὶ ἆρον τὸν κράβαττόν σου καὶ περιπάτει’;
10 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he said to the paralytic—
Ἵνα δὲ εἰδῆτε ὅτι ἐξουσίαν ἔχει ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ἀφιέναι ἁμαρτίας”, (λέγει τῷ παραλυτικῷ),
11 “I tell you, arise, take up your mat, and go to your house.”
“Σοὶ λέγω, ἔγειρε ἆρον τὸν κράβαττόν σου, καὶ ὕπαγε εἰς τὸν οἶκόν σου.”
12 He arose, and immediately took up the mat and went out in front of them all, so that they were all amazed and glorified God, saying, “We never saw anything like this!”
Καὶ ἠγέρθη, καὶ εὐθὺς ἄρας τὸν κράβαττον, ἐξῆλθεν ἔμπροσθεν πάντων, ὥστε ἐξίστασθαι πάντας, καὶ δοξάζειν τὸν ˚Θεὸν λέγοντας, ὅτι “Οὕτως οὐδέποτε εἴδομεν.”
13 He went out again by the seaside. All the multitude came to him, and he taught them.
Καὶ ἐξῆλθεν πάλιν παρὰ τὴν θάλασσαν, καὶ πᾶς ὁ ὄχλος ἤρχετο πρὸς αὐτόν, καὶ ἐδίδασκεν αὐτούς.
14 As he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax office. He said to him, “Follow me.” And he arose and followed him.
Καὶ παράγων εἶδεν Λευὶν τὸν τοῦ Ἁλφαίου, καθήμενον ἐπὶ τὸ τελώνιον, καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ, “Ἀκολούθει μοι.” Καὶ ἀναστὰς, ἠκολούθησεν αὐτῷ.
15 He was reclining at the table in his house, and many tax collectors and sinners sat down with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many, and they followed him.
Καὶ γίνεται κατακεῖσθαι αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ αὐτοῦ, καὶ πολλοὶ τελῶναι καὶ ἁμαρτωλοὶ συνανέκειντο τῷ ˚Ἰησοῦ καὶ τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ, ἦσαν γὰρ πολλοὶ, καὶ ἠκολούθουν αὐτῷ.
16 The scribes and the Pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with the sinners and tax collectors, said to his disciples, “Why is it that he eats and drinks with tax collectors and sinners?”
Καὶ οἱ γραμματεῖς τῶν Φαρισαίων, ἰδόντες ὅτι ἐσθίει μετὰ τῶν ἁμαρτωλῶν καὶ τῶν τελωνῶν, ἔλεγον τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ, ὅτι “Μετὰ τῶν τελωνῶν καὶ ἁμαρτωλῶν ἐσθίει;”
17 When Jesus heard it, he said to them, “Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
Καὶ ἀκούσας, ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς λέγει αὐτοῖς, “Οὐ χρείαν ἔχουσιν οἱ ἰσχύοντες ἰατροῦ, ἀλλʼ οἱ κακῶς ἔχοντες. Οὐκ ἦλθον καλέσαι δικαίους, ἀλλὰ ἁμαρτωλούς.”
18 John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting, and they came and asked him, “Why do John’s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?”
Καὶ ἦσαν οἱ μαθηταὶ Ἰωάννου καὶ οἱ Φαρισαῖοι νηστεύοντες. Καὶ ἔρχονται καὶ λέγουσιν αὐτῷ, “Διὰ τί οἱ μαθηταὶ Ἰωάννου καὶ οἱ μαθηταὶ τῶν Φαρισαίων νηστεύουσιν, οἱ δὲ σοὶ μαθηταὶ οὐ νηστεύουσιν;”
19 Jesus said to them, “Can the groomsmen fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.
Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Μὴ δύνανται οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ νυμφῶνος ἐν ᾧ ὁ νυμφίος μετʼ αὐτῶν ἐστιν νηστεύειν; Ὅσον χρόνον ἔχουσιν τὸν νυμφίον μετʼ αὐτῶν, οὐ δύνανται νηστεύειν.
20 But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast in that day.
Ἐλεύσονται δὲ ἡμέραι ὅταν ἀπαρθῇ ἀπʼ αὐτῶν ὁ νυμφίος, καὶ τότε νηστεύσουσιν ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ.
21 No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, or else the patch shrinks and the new tears away from the old, and a worse hole is made.
Οὐδεὶς ἐπίβλημα ῥάκους ἀγνάφου ἐπιράπτει ἐπὶ ἱμάτιον παλαιόν· εἰ δὲ μή αἴρει ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ τὸ πλήρωμα τὸ καινὸν τοῦ παλαιοῦ, καὶ χεῖρον σχίσμα γίνεται.
22 No one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine will burst the skins, and the wine pours out, and the skins will be destroyed; but they put new wine into fresh wineskins.”
Καὶ οὐδεὶς βάλλει οἶνον νέον εἰς ἀσκοὺς παλαιούς· εἰ δὲ μή ῥήξει ὁ οἶνος τοὺς ἀσκούς, καὶ ὁ οἶνος ἀπόλλυται καὶ οἱ ἀσκοί. Ἀλλὰ οἶνον νέον εἰς ἀσκοὺς καινοὺς βλητέον.”
23 He was going on the Sabbath day through the grain fields; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of grain.
Καὶ ἐγένετο, αὐτὸν ἐν τοῖς Σάββασιν παραπορεύεσθαι διὰ τῶν σπορίμων, καὶ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ ἤρξαντο ὁδὸν ποιεῖν, τίλλοντες τοὺς στάχυας.
24 The Pharisees said to him, “Behold, why do they do that which is not lawful on the Sabbath day?”
Καὶ οἱ Φαρισαῖοι ἔλεγον αὐτῷ, “Ἴδε, τί ποιοῦσιν τοῖς Σάββασιν ὃ οὐκ ἔξεστιν;”
25 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?
Καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς, “Οὐδέποτε ἀνέγνωτε τί ἐποίησεν Δαυὶδ, ὅτε χρείαν ἔσχεν καὶ ἐπείνασεν, αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ μετʼ αὐτοῦ;
26 How he entered into God’s house at the time of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the show bread, which is not lawful to eat except for the priests, and gave also to those who were with him?”
Πῶς εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ ἐπὶ Ἀβιαθὰρ ἀρχιερέως, καὶ τοὺς ἄρτους τῆς Προθέσεως ἔφαγεν, οὓς οὐκ ἔξεστιν φαγεῖν, εἰ μὴ τοὺς ἱερεῖς, καὶ ἔδωκεν καὶ τοῖς σὺν αὐτῷ οὖσιν;”
27 He said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.
Καὶ ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς, “Τὸ Σάββατον διὰ τὸν ἄνθρωπον ἐγένετο, καὶ οὐχ ὁ ἄνθρωπος διὰ τὸ Σάββατον.
28 Therefore the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath.”
Ὥστε ˚Κύριός ἐστιν ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου καὶ τοῦ Σαββάτου.”
