Mark 2
1 And when he entered again into Capernaum after some days, it was noised that he was in the house.
And Jesus again entered into Capernaum, after some days. And when they heard that he was in the house,
2 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.
many were assembled, so that the house could not contain them, not even before the door. And he held discourse with them.
3 And they come, bringing unto him a man sick of the palsy, borne of four.
And they came to him and brought to him a paralytic, borne between four persons.
4 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.
And as they could not come near him on account of the crowd, they ascended to the roof, and removed the covering of the place where Jesus was, and let down the bed on which the paralytic lay.
5 And Jesus seeing their faith saith unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins are forgiven.
And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic: My son, thy sins are forgiven thee.
6 But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
And there were some Scribes and Pharisees there, who sat and reasoned in their hearts:
7 Why doth this man thus speak? he blasphemeth: who can forgive sins but one, [even] God?
Who is this speaking, blasphemy? Who can forgive sins, except God only?
8 And straightway Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, saith unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?
And Jesus knew, in his spirit, that they thus reasoned in themselves; and he said to them: Why reason ye thus in your heart?
9 Which 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?
Which is the easier, to say to a paralytic, Thy sins are forgiven thee? or to say, Arise, take up thy bed, and walk?
10 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath authority on earth to forgive sins (he saith to the sick of the palsy),
But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, he said to the paralytic,
11 I say unto thee, Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thy house.
I say to thee, Arise, take thy bed, and go to thy house.
12 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.
And he arose in that hour, took up his bed, and departed in presence of them all: so that they were all amazed, and praised God, saying: We never saw the like.
13 And he went forth again by the sea side; and all the multitude resorted unto him, and he taught them.
And he went again to the sea; and all the multitude came to him, and he taught them.
14 And as he passed by, he saw Levi the [son] of Alphæus sitting at the place of toll, and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him.
And as he passed along he saw Levi the son of Alpheus sitting among the publicans. And he said to him: Come after me. And he arose and went after him.
15 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.
And it was so, that as he reclined in his Levi's house, many publicans and sinners reclined with Jesus and with his disciples: for they were many, and they followed him.
16 And the scribes of the Pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with the sinners and publicans, said unto his disciples, [How is it] that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?
And when the Scribes and Pharisees saw that he ate with publicans and with sinners, they said to his disciples: Why doth he eat and drink with publicans and sinners?
17 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.
When Jesus heard it, he said to them: The healthy need not a physician, but those laboring under disease: I came, not to call the righteous, but sinners.
18 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?
And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees were fasters; and they came and said to him: Why are the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fasters, and thy disciples fast not?
19 And Jesus said unto them, Can the sons of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? as long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.
Jesus said to them: Can the guests of the nuptial chamber fast so long as the bridegroom is with them? No.
20 But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then will they fast in that day.
But the days will come, when the bridegroom will be taken from them, and then they will fast, in that day.
21 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.
No one taketh a patch of new cloth and seweth it upon an old garment, lest the supplemental new should take from the old, and the rent become the greater.
22 And no man putteth new wine into old wine-skins; else the wine will burst the skins, and the wine perisheth, and the skins: but [they put] new wine into fresh wine-skins.
And no one putteth new wine into old sacks, lest the wine burst the sacks, and the sacks be spoiled, and the wine spilled; but they put new wine into new sacks.
23 And it came to pass, that he was going on the sabbath day through the grainfields; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears.
And it was so, that as Jesus on a sabbath walked in the tillage grounds, his disciples walked and plucked the ears.
24 And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful?
And the Pharisees said to him: See, how on the sabbath, they do that which is not lawful?
25 And he said unto them, Did ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was hungry, he, and they that were with him?
Jesus said to them: Have ye never read what David did, when he had need and was hungry, he and his attendants?
26 How he entered into the house of God when Abiathar was high priest, and ate the showbread, which it is not lawful to eat save for the priests, and gave also to them that were with him?
How he entered the house of God, when Abiathar was high priest, and ate the bread of the Lord's table, which it was not lawful for any but priests to eat, and gave it also to those with him?
27 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:
And he said to them: The sabbath was made on man's account, and not man for the sake of the sabbath.
28 so that the Son of man is lord even of the sabbath.
Therefore also the Son of man is lord of the sabbath.
