King James Version
A
few
days
later
Jesus
went
back
to
Capernaum .
And when
the
people
heard
that He was home,
And
again
he
entered
into
Capernaum after
some
days;
and it
was
noised
that he was in
the
house.
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
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.
Then
a
paralytic
was
brought
to
Him, carried
by
four men
.
And
they
come
unto
him, bringing
one
sick
of
the
palsy,
which
was
borne
of
four.
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
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
.
When Jesus saw their faith, He said to
the paralytic
, “
Son, your
sins are
forgiven. ”
When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto
the sick
of
the
palsy
, Son, thy
sins be
forgiven thee
.
But some
of the scribes were
sitting there and thinking
in their hearts,
But there
was
certain
of the scribes sitting there ,
and reasoning
in their hearts,
“
Why does
this man speak like
this
? He
is
blaspheming!
Who can forgive sins but God alone
? ”
Why doth
this man thus
speak blasphemies
? who can forgive sins but God only
?
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.
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?
“Which
is easier :
to say to a
paralytic
, ‘Your
sins are
forgiven ,’
or to say, ‘Get
up
, pick
up your
mat
, and walk ’
?
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?
But so
that you
may know that the Son of Man has
authority
on earth to forgive sins ...”
He said
to the paralytic
,
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
, )
“
I tell
you
, get
up
, pick
up your
mat
, and go home
. ”
I say
unto
thee
, Arise
, and
take
up thy
bed
, and go thy
way
into
thine
house
.
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 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.
Once
again
Jesus
went out
beside
the sea .
All the people
came
to
Him, and He taught them there
.
And
he
went forth
again
by
the sea side;
and
all the multitude
resorted
unto
him, and he taught them.
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
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.
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
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.
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 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?
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. ”
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
.
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
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
?
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.
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.
But the time
will come when the bridegroom will
be taken from them ;
then they will
fast.
But the days
will come ,
when the bridegroom shall
be taken away
from them ,
and
then shall
they fast in
those
days
.
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
.
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.
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 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
.
One
Sabbath
Jesus
was
passing
through the grainfields,
and His disciples began to pick
the heads
of grain
as
they
walked
along
.
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
.
So
the Pharisees said to
Him, “Look
, why are
they doing
what
is
unlawful
on the Sabbath? ”
And
the Pharisees said unto
him, Behold
, why do
they on the sabbath day
that
which
is
not
lawful
?
Jesus
replied
, “
Have you
never read what David did when he and his
companions
were
hungry
and in
need
?
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
?
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.”
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?
Then
Jesus
declared
, “
The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath .
And
he
said
unto
them
, The sabbath was made for man, and
not man for the sabbath :
Therefore ,
the Son of Man is Lord even
of the Sabbath. ”
Therefore the Son of man is Lord also
of the sabbath.
