Marcum 2
1 Et iterum intravit Capharnaum post dies octo,
And again he entered into Capernaum after [some] days; and 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 ianuam, et loquebatur eis verbum.
And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive [them], no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word unto them.
3 Et venerunt ad eum ferentes paralyticum, qui a quattuor portabatur.
And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four.
4 Et cum non possent offerre eum illi prae turba, nudaverunt tectum ubi erat: et patefacientes submiserunt grabatum, in quo paralyticus iacebat.
And when they could not come nigh unto 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.
5 Cum autem vidisset Iesus fidem illorum, ait paralytico: Fili, dimittuntur tibi peccata tua.
When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.
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 blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?
8 Quo statim cognito Iesus spiritu suo quia sic cogitarent intra se, dicit illis: Quid ista cogitatis in cordibus vestris?
And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said 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 it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, [Thy] sins be forgiven thee; 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, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house.
12 Et statim surrexit ille: et, sublato grabato, abiit inde coram omnibus, ita ut mirarentur omnes, et honorificent Deum, dicentes: Quia numquam sic vidimus.
And immediately he arose, 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 praeteriret, vidit Levi Alphaei sedentem ad telonium, et ait illi: Sequere me. Et surgens secutus est eum.
And as he passed by, he saw Levi the [son] of Alphæus sitting at the receipt of custom, and said 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 Iesu, et discipulis eius: erant enim multi, qui sequebantur eum.
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.
16 Et Scribae, et Pharisaei videntes quia manducaret cum publicanis, et peccatoribus, dixerunt discipulis eius: Quare cum publicanis, et peccatoribus manducat et bibit Magister vester?
And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?
17 Hoc audito Iesus ait illis: Non necesse habent sani medico, sed qui malehabent: non enim veni vocare iustos, sed peccatores.
When Jesus heard [it], he saith unto 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.
18 Et erant discipuli Ioannis, et Pharisaei ieiunantes: et veniunt, et dicunt illi: Quare discipuli Ioannis, et Pharisaeorum ieiunant, tui autem discipuli non ieiunant?
And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees used to fast: and they come and say unto him, Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not?
19 Et ait illis Iesus: Numquid possunt filii nuptiarum, quamdiu sponsus cum illis est, ieiunare? Quanto tempore habent secum sponsum, non possunt ieiunare.
And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber 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 ieiunabunt in illis diebus.
But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.
21 Nemo assumentum panni rudis assuit vestimento veteri: alioquin aufert supplementum novum a veteri, et maior scissura fit.
No man also seweth a piece of new cloth on an old garment: else the new piece that filled it up taketh away from the old, and the rent is made worse.
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 bottles: else the new wine doth burst the bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles will be marred: but new wine must be put into new bottles.
23 Et factum est iterum Dominus sabbatis ambularet per sata, discipuli eius coeperunt progredi, et vellere spicas.
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.
24 Pharisaei autem dicebant ei: Ecce, quid faciunt discipuli tui 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, Have 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 solis sacerdotibus, et dedit eis, qui cum eo erant?
How he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and did eat the shewbread, which is not lawful to eat but for the priests, and gave also to them which 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.
Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
