Mark 2
1 And again he entered into Capernaum after some days; and it was noised that he was in the house.
And, entering again into Capernaum, after some days, it was heard say—He is in a house;
2 And straightway many were gathered together, so that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word to them.
and many were gathered together, so that no longer was there room even in the approaches to the door, —and he began speaking unto them the word;
3 And they come to him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four.
and they come, bearing unto him a paralytic, upborne by four, —
4 And when they could not come near to him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.
and, not being able to get near him by reason of the multitude, they uncovered the roof where he was, and, having broken it up, they began letting down the couch whereon the paralytic was lying;
5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the sick of the palsy, Son, your sins be forgiven you.
and, Jesus, seeing their faith, saith unto the paralytic—Child! forgiven are thy sins!
6 But there was certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
Now there were certain of the Scribes there, sitting and deliberating in their hearts, —
7 Why does this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?
Why doth, this, man thus talk? he is speaking profanely! Who can forgive sins, save one, God?
8 And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said to them, Why reason you these things in your hearts?
And Jesus, straightway, taking note in his spirit, that [thus] they are deliberating within themselves, saith [unto them]—Why, these things, are ye deliberating in your hearts?
9 Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Your sins be forgiven you; or to say, Arise, and take up your bed, and walk?
Which is easier—to say unto the paralytic, Forgiven are thy sins, or to say, Rise, [and] take up thy couch, and be walking?
10 But that you may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, (he says to the sick of the palsy, )
But, that ye may know that the Son of Man hath authority to be forgiving sins upon the earth, he saith to the paralytic:
11 I say to you, Arise, and take up your bed, and go your way into your house.
To thee, I say, Rise, take up thy couch, and be going thy way unto thy house.
12 And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; so that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.
And he arose, and, straightway taking up the couch, went forth before all, —so that all were beside themselves and were glorifying God, [saying]—Thus, we never saw it!
13 And he went forth again by the sea side; and all the multitude resorted to him, and he taught them.
And he went forth again by the sea, —and all the multitude was coming unto him, and he began teaching them.
14 And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the receipt of custom, and said to him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him.
And, passing by, he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, sitting over the tax-office, —and saith unto him—Be following me! And, arising, he followed him.
15 And it came to pass, that, as Jesus sat at meat in his house, many publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him.
And it cometh to pass, that he is reclining in his house, and many tax-collectors and sinners were reclining with Jesus and his disciples; for there were many, and they began following him.
16 And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said to his disciples, How is it that he eats and drinks with publicans and sinners?
And the Scribes and Pharisees, seeing that he was eating with the sinners and the tax-collectors, began saying unto his disciples—With the tax-collectors and sinners, is he eating?
17 When Jesus heard it, he says to them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
And, hearing it, Jesus saith unto them—No need, have the strong of a physician, but they who are sick, I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.
18 And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees used to fast: and they come and say to him, Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples fast not?
And the disciples of John and the Pharisees were fasting; and they come and say unto him—For what cause, do, the disciples of John and the disciples of the Pharisees, fast, whereas, thy disciples, fast not?
19 And Jesus said to them, Can the children of the bridal chamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? as long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.
And Jesus said unto them—Is it possible for the sons of the bridechamber, while the bridegroom is with them, to be fasting? So long as they have the bridegroom with them, it is impossible, to fast.
20 But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.
But there will come days, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and, then, they will fast, in that day.
21 No man also sews a piece of new cloth on an old garment: else the new piece that filled it up takes away from the old, and the rent is made worse.
No one, seweth a patch of unshrunk cloth upon an old mantle, —otherwise, at least, the shrinking teareth away from it—the new from the old—and, a worse rent is made.
22 And no man puts new wine into old bottles: else the new wine does burst the bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles will be marred: but new wine must be put into new bottles.
And, no one, poureth new wine into fold skins, —otherwise, at least, the wine will burst the skins, and the wine is lost, and, the skins. [But new wine is for unused skins.]
23 And it came to pass, that he went through the corn fields on the sabbath day; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of corn.
And it came to pass, that he, on the Sabbath, was passing through the cornfields, and his disciples began to be going forward, plucking the ears of corn.
24 And the Pharisees said to him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful?
And, the Pharisees, were saying, —See! why are they doing, on the Sabbath, what is not allowed?
25 And he said to them, Have you never read what David did, when he had need, and was an hungered, he, and they that were with him?
And he saith unto them—Have ye never read what David did, when he had need and hungered, —he, and they who were with him:
26 How he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and did eat the show bread, which is not lawful to eat but for the priests, and gave also to them which were with him?
[how] he entered into the house of God, while Abiathar was High-priest, and, the presence-bread, did eat, —which it is not allowed to eat, save unto the priests, —and gave, unto them also who were with him?
27 And he said to them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:
And he was saying unto them—The Sabbath, for man, was made, and not, man, for, the Sabbath:
28 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
So that the Son of Man is, Lord, even of the Sabbath.
