Bible, King James Version
Mark
Mark.2
[1] And again he entered into Capernaum, after some days;
and it was noised that he was in the house.
[2] 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] And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the
palsy, which was borne of four.
[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.
[5] When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of
the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.
[6] But there were certain of the scribes sitting there,
and reasoning in their hearts,
[7] Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can
forgive sins but God only?
[8] 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] 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] 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] I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go
thy way into thine house.
[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.
[13] And he went forth again by the sea side; and all the
multitude resorted unto him, and he taught them.
[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.
[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.
[16] 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] 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] 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] 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] But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be
taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.
[21] 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] 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] 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] And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they
on the sabbath day that which is not lawful?
[25] 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] 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] And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man,
and not man for the sabbath:
[28] Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the
sabbath.
