Berean Standard Bible
And when he
entered
again
into
Capernaum
after
some
days,
it
was
noised
that he was in
the
house.
A
few
days
later
Jesus
went
back
to
Capernaum.
And when the
people
heard
that He was home,
And
many
were
gathered together,
so
that there was no longer
room `for
them'
, no,
not even about
the door :
and
he
spake
the word unto
them.
they
gathered in
such
large
numbers
that there was no more
room, not even outside
the door ,
as
Jesus
spoke
the word to
them.
And
they
come,
bringing
unto
him
a man
sick
of
the
palsy
, borne
of
four.
Then
a paralytic
was
brought
to
Him
, carried
by
four men
.
And
when
they could
not
come
nigh
unto
him
for
the crowd, they uncovered the roof where
he
was:
and
when
they
had
broken
it
up
, they
let
down
the
bed
whereon
the
sick
of
the palsy
lay
.
Since
they were
unable
to
get
to
Jesus
through
the crowd, they uncovered the roof above
Him
, made
an
opening,
and
lowered
the paralytic
on
his
mat
.
And
Jesus seeing
their faith saith
unto
the
sick
of
the palsy
, Son, thy
sins are forgiven.
When
Jesus saw
their faith ,
He
said
to
the paralytic
, “
Son, your
sins are forgiven. ”
But there
were
certain
of the scribes sitting there ,
and reasoning
in their hearts,
But some
of the scribes were
sitting there and thinking
in their hearts,
Why doth
this man thus
speak? he blasphemeth:
who can forgive sins but one,
`even'
God?
“
Why does
this man speak like
this
? He is
blaspheming!
Who can forgive sins but God alone
? ”
And
straightway
Jesus ,
perceiving
in his spirit that they so
reasoned
within themselves ,
saith
unto
them,
Why reason
ye
these things in your hearts?
At
once
Jesus knew
in His spirit that they were
thinking
this
way
within themselves .
“
Why are
you
thinking
these things in your hearts? ”
He
asked.
Which is easier ,
to say to the
sick
of
the
palsy
, Thy
sins are forgiven ;
or to say, Arise
, and
take
up thy
bed
, and walk?
“
Which is easier :
to say to a
paralytic
, ‘Your
sins are forgiven ,’
or to say, ‘Get
up
, pick
up your
mat
, and walk ’
?
But that ye
may know that the Son of man hath
authority on earth to forgive sins (
he saith
to the sick
of
the
palsy)
,
But so
that you
may know that the Son of Man has
authority on earth to forgive sins ...”
He said
to the paralytic
,
I say
unto
thee
, Arise
, take
up thy
bed
, and go unto
thy
house
.
“
I tell
you
, get
up
, pick
up your
mat
, and go home
. ”
And he
arose
, and
straightway
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.
And immediately
the
man
got
up
, picked
up his
mat
, and walked
out
in
front
of
them all .
As
a
result,
they were all astounded
and glorified God, saying, “
We have
never seen
anything
like
this !”
And
he
went
forth
again by
the sea side;
and
all the multitude
resorted
unto
him, and he taught them.
Once
again Jesus
went
out
beside
the sea .
All the people
came
to
Him, and He taught them there
.
And
as he passed
by
, he saw Levi the
`
son '
of Alphaeus sitting at the place
of
toll
, and
he saith
unto
him, Follow
me.
And he
arose
and followed him.
As He was
walking
along
, He saw Levi son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax
booth.
“Follow
Me
, ”
He told
him, and Levi
got
up
and followed Him.
And
it
came
to
pass,
that
he
was sitting
at meat
in
his
house, and
many publicans
and sinners sat
down
with Jesus
and his disciples :
for there were many ,
and
they
followed him.
While
Jesus
was dining
at Levi’s
house, many tax
collectors
and sinners were
eating
with Him
and His disciples —
for there were many who
followed Him.
And
the scribes of
the
Pharisees ,
when
they
saw that
he
was
eating with the
sinners
and
publicans
, said
unto
his disciples, `How
is
it'
that
he eateth
and
drinketh
with publicans
and sinners?
When
the scribes who
were
Pharisees saw Jesus
eating with these
people
, they
asked
His disciples, “Why
does
He eat
with tax
collectors
and sinners? ”
And
when
Jesus
heard
it
, he
saith
unto
them, They
that
are
whole
have
no
need of
a physician
, but they
that
are
sick :
I came
not to call the righteous, but sinners.
On
hearing
this
, Jesus
told
them, “It
is
not
the
healthy
who
need a doctor
, but the
sick .
I have
not come
to call the righteous, but sinners. ”
And
John's
disciples and the Pharisees were fasting :
and
they
come
and say
unto
him
, Why do
John's
disciples and
the
disciples of the Pharisees fast,
but
thy
disciples
fast
not
?
Now
John’s
disciples and the Pharisees were often
fasting .
So
people
came
to
Jesus
and asked
, “
Why don’t
Your
disciples fast
like
John’s
disciples and
those
of the Pharisees? ”
And
Jesus said
unto
them
, Can the sons
of the bridechamber
fast ,
while the
bridegroom
is with them? as long as they
have
the
bridegroom
with them, they cannot fast.
Jesus replied
, “How
can the guests
of the bridegroom
fast while He
is with them? As long as He
is
with them, they cannot fast.
But the days
will come ,
when the bridegroom shall
be taken away
from them ,
and
then will
they fast in
that
day
.
But the time
will come when the bridegroom will
be taken from them ;
then they will
fast.
No man
seweth
a piece
of undressed
cloth on an old garment :
else
that
which
should
fill
it
up
taketh
from
it
, the new from the old, and a worse rent
is
made
.
No one
sews
a patch
of unshrunk
cloth on an old garment .
If
he
does
, the new piece
will
pull
away
from the old, and a worse tear
will
result
.
And no man
putteth
new wine into old wineskins ;
else
the wine will burst the skins, and the wine perisheth,
and the skins:
but
`they
put'
new wine into fresh
wine-skins
.
And no one
pours
new wine into old wineskins .
If
he
does,
the wine will burst the skins, and both
the wine and the wineskins
will
be
ruined.
Instead,
new wine is
poured
into new
wineskins
. ”
And
it
came
to
pass,
that
he
was
going
on
the
sabbath day
through the grainfields ;
and his disciples began ,
as
they
went,
to pluck
the ears
.
One
Sabbath Jesus
was
passing
through the grainfields ,
and His disciples began to pick
the heads
of
grain
as
they
walked
along
.
And
the Pharisees said unto
him, Behold
, why do
they on the sabbath day
that
which
is
not
lawful
?
So
the Pharisees said to
Him, “Look
, why are
they doing
what
is
unlawful
on the Sabbath? ”
And
he
said
unto
them
, Did
ye
never read what David did ,
when he had
need,
and was
hungry ,
he,
and they
that
were
with
him
?
Jesus
replied
, “Have
you
never read what David did when he and his
companions
were
hungry and in
need
?
How
he entered into
the house of God when
Abiathar
was
high
priest,
and ate the showbread
, which it
is
not
lawful to
eat
save
for the priests ,
and gave also
to them
that
were
with
him?
During
the
high
priesthood
of
Abiathar,
he entered the house of God and ate the consecrated
bread
, which was
lawful only
for the priests .
And he
gave some
to his
companions
as
well.”
And
he
said
unto
them
, The sabbath was made for man, and
not man for the sabbath :
Then
Jesus
declared
, “
The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath .
so
that
the Son of man is lord even of the sabbath.
Therefore,
the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath. ”
