MARK ยท Chapter 2
2:1 And again he entered into Capernaum after some days; and it was
noised that he was in the house.
2:2 And immediately 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.
2:3 And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was
borne of four.
2:4 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.
2:5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy,
Son, your sins be forgiven you.
2:6 But there was certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning
in their hearts,
2:7 Why does this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins
but God only?
2:8 And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit
that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason
all of you these things in your hearts?
2:9 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?
2:10 But that all of you may know that the Son of man has power on
earth to forgive sins, (he says to the sick of the palsy,)
2:11 I say unto you, Arise, and take up your bed, and go your way into
your house.
2:12 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.
2:13 And he went forth again by the sea side; and all the multitude
resorted unto him, and he taught them.
2:14 And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at
the receipt of custom, and said unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed
him.
2:15 And it came to pass, that, as Jesus sat at food in his house,
many publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his disciples:
for there were many, and they followed him.
2:16 And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans
and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eats and drinks
with publicans and sinners?
2:17 When Jesus heard it, he says 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.
2:18 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 your disciples fast not?
2:19 And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bride-chamber
fast, while the bridegroom is with them? as long as they have the bridegroom
with them, they cannot fast.
2:20 But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away
from them, and then shall they fast in those days.
2:21 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.
2:22 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 ruined:
but new wine must be put into new bottles.
2:23 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.
2:24 And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath
day that which is not lawful?
2:25 And he said unto them, Have all of you never read what David did,
when he had need, and was an hungered, he, and they that were with him?
2:26 How he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the
high priest, and did eat the showbread, which is not lawful to eat but
for the priests, and gave also to them which were with him?
2:27 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man
for the sabbath:
2:28 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
