Mark 2

1And when he enteredG1525 againG3825 into CapernaumG2584 after some daysG2250, it wasG1510 noised that he wasG1510 in the houseG3624. 2And manyG4183 were gatheredG4863 togetherG4863, so that there was noG3371 longerG3371 room for them, no, not evenG2532 about the doorG2374: and he spake the wordG3056 unto them. 3And they comeG2064, bringingG5342 unto him a man sick of the palsy, borne of fourG5064. 4And when they could not come nigh unto him for the crowdG3793, they uncovered the roofG4721 whereG3699 he wasG1510: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed whereon the sick of the palsy lay. 5And JesusG2424 seeingG3708 their faithG4102 saith unto the sick of the palsy, SonG5043, thy sinsG266 are forgivenG863. 6But there wereG1510 certainG5100 of the scribesG1122 sittingG2521 there, and reasoningG1260 in their heartsG2588, 7WhyG5101 doth this manG3778 thusG3779 speakG2980? he blasphemeth: who can forgiveG863 sinsG266 but oneG1520, even GodG2316? 8And straightway JesusG2424, perceiving in his spiritG4151 that they so reasonedG1260 within themselves, saith unto them, WhyG5101 reason ye these thingsG3778 in your heartsG2588? 9Which isG1510 easier, to sayG3004 to the sick of the palsy, Thy sinsG266 areG1510 forgivenG863; or to sayG3004, AriseG1453, and takeG142 up thy bed, and walkG4043? 10But that ye may know that the SonG5207 of manG444 hath authorityG1849 on earthG1093 to forgiveG863 sinsG266 (he saith to the sick of the palsy), 11I sayG3004 unto thee, AriseG1453, takeG142 up thy bed, and goG5217 unto thy houseG3624. 12And he arose, and straightway tookG142 up the bed, and wentG1831 forthG1831 before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorifiedG1392 GodG2316, sayingG3004, We neverG3763 sawG3708 it on this fashion.

13And he wentG1831 forthG1831 againG3825 by the seaG2281 side; and all the multitudeG3793 resorted unto him, and he taughtG1321 them. 14And as he passed by, he sawG3708 Levi the son of Alphæus sittingG2521 at the place of toll, and he saith unto him, FollowG190 me. And he aroseG450 and followedG190 him.

15And it cameG1096 to passG1096, that he wasG1510 sitting at meat in his houseG3614, and manyG4183 publicans and sinnersG268 sat down with JesusG2424 and his disciplesG3101: for there wereG1510 manyG4183, and they followedG190 him. 16And the scribesG1122 of the PhariseesG5330, when they sawG3708 that he was eatingG2068 with the sinnersG268 and publicans, saidG3004 unto his disciplesG3101, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinnersG268? 17And when JesusG2424 heardG191 it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no needG5532 of a physicianG2395, but they that are sickG2560: I cameG2064 not to callG2564 the righteousG1342, but sinnersG268.

18And John’s disciplesG3101 and the PhariseesG5330 wereG1510 fastingG3522: and they comeG2064 and sayG3004 unto him, WhyG5101 do John’s disciplesG3101 and the disciplesG3101 of the PhariseesG5330 fastG3522, but thy disciplesG3101 fastG3522 not? 19And JesusG2424 saidG3004 unto them, Can the sonsG5207 of the bridechamber fastG3522, while the bridegroomG3566 isG1510 with them? as long as they have the bridegroomG3566 with them, they cannot fastG3522. 20But the daysG2250 will comeG2064, whenG3752 the bridegroomG3566 shall be taken awayG522 from them, and then will they fastG3522 in that dayG2250. 21No man seweth a pieceG1915 of undressed clothG4470 on an oldG3820 garmentG2440: else that which should fill it up taketh from it, the newG2537 from the oldG3820, and a worse rent is made. 22And no man putteth newG2537 wineG3631 into oldG3820 wine-skins; else the wineG3631 will burstG4486 the skins, and the wineG3631 perisheth, and the skins: but they putG906 newG2537 wineG3631 into fresh wine-skins.

23And it cameG1096 to passG1096, that he was going on the sabbathG4521 day through the grainfieldsG4702; and his disciplesG3101 beganG757, as they went, to pluck the ears. 24And the PhariseesG5330 saidG3004 unto him, BeholdG2396, whyG5101 do they on the sabbathG4521 day that which is not lawfulG1832? 25And he saidG3004 unto them, Did ye neverG3763 readG314 what DavidG1138 did, whenG3753 he had needG5532, and was hungryG3983, he, and they that were with him? 26HowG4459 he enteredG1525 into the houseG3624 of GodG2316 when Abiathar wasG1510 highG749 priestG749, and ateG2068 the showbread, which it isG1510 not lawfulG1832 to eatG2068 save for the priestsG749, and gaveG1325 alsoG2532 to them that wereG1510 with him? 27And he saidG3004 unto them, The sabbathG4521 was made for manG444, and not manG444 for the sabbathG4521: 28so that the SonG5207 of manG444 isG1510 lordG2962 evenG2532 of the sabbathG4521.
