When
he
entered
again
into
Capernaum
after
some
days ,
it
was
heard that he was in
the
house.
A
few
days later
Jesus
went
back
to
Capernaum.
And
when
the
people
heard that He was home,
Immediately
many
were
gathered together,
so
that there was no more room, not even around
the door ;
and
he
spoke the word to them.

spoke the word to them.
Four
people
came,
carrying
a paralytic to him.
Then
a paralytic was
brought
to Him ,
carried
by
four
men
.
When
they could
not
come
near
to him
for
the crowd, they removed
the roof where
he
was.
When
they
had
broken
it
up
, they
let
down
the
mat
that
the paralytic was
lying
on.
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
.
Jesus ,
seeing
their faith, said to the paralytic, "
Son, your sins are forgiven you
. "
When
Jesus saw
their faith, He
said to the paralytic, “
Son, your sins are forgiven. ”
But there
were
some of the scribes sitting there ,
and reasoning
in their hearts,
But some of the scribes were
sitting there and thinking
in their hearts,
"
Why does this man speak blasphemies
like that
? Who can forgive sins but God alone? "
“
Why does this man speak like this
? He
is
blaspheming!
Who can forgive sins but God alone? ”
Immediately
Jesus ,
perceiving
in his spirit that they so
reasoned
within themselves ,
said
to
them,
"
Why do
you reason
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 tell
the
paralytic, '
Your sins are forgiven ;'
or to say, 'Arise
, and
take
up your 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 you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins "--
he said to the paralytic --
But so
that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins ...”
He said to the paralytic ,
"
I tell you, arise
, take
up your mat, and go to
your
house
. "
“
I tell you, get
up
, pick
up your mat, and go home
. ”
He
arose,
and immediately took
up
the mat, and went
out in front of them all ;
so
that
they were all amazed,
and glorified God, saying, "
We never saw
anything like this! "

got
up,

never seen
anything like this! ”

As he passed
by
, he saw Levi ,
the
son of Alphaeus ,
sitting at the tax office
, and
he said
to
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.
It
happened,
that
he
was reclining
at the
table
in
his
house, and
many tax collectors 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.
The scribes and
the
Pharisees ,
when
they
saw that
he
was
eating with the
sinners
and
tax
collectors
, said
to
his disciples, "
Why is
it
that
he eats
and
drinks
with tax collectors 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? ”
When
Jesus
heard
it
, he
said
to
them, "Those
who
are
healthy have
no
need for
a physician
, but those
who
are
sick. I came
not to call the righteous, but sinners to
repentance
. "
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. ”

disciples and the Pharisees were fasting ,
and
they
came and asked him
, "

disciples and
the
disciples of the Pharisees fast,
but
your
disciples
don't
fast
? "
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? ”
Jesus said
to
them
, "
Can the groomsmen
fast
while
the bridegroom is with them? As long as they
have
the
bridegroom
with them, they can't
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 will 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.

of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, or

the patch
shrinks
and

new tears
away from the old, and a worse hole
is
made
.

new wine into old wineskins, or
else

wine will burst the skins, and the wine pours

new wine into fresh
wineskins. "
And
no one pours
new wine into old wineskins .

he
does
, the wine will burst the skins, and both
the wine and the wineskins
will be ruined.
Instead,

poured
into new
wineskins. ”

was

the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath. ”
