Mark 2

1 And after days He went again into Capernaum; and it being heard that He was in the house, 2 great numbers were immediately gathered together, so that there was no more room to contain them, not even about the door: and as he was preaching the word unto them, 3 there came to Him, bringing a paralytic carried by four 4 and not being able to come near to Him for the croud, they uncovered the roof where He was, and when they had made an openning, they let down the couch on which the paralytic was laid. 5 And Jesus, seeing their faith, saith to him that had the palsy, 6 But there were some of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, 7 Why doth this thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God? 8 And Jesus, who knew immediately in his spirit that they were thus reasoning within themselves, said unto them, in your hearts?} 12 And he instantly arose, and taking up his couch, went out before all, so that were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, we never saw the like. 13 And He went out again towards the sea- and all the people resorted to Him, and He taught them. 14 And as He went along, He saw Levi the son of Alpheus, sitting at the custom, and saith unto him, and he rose up and followed Him. 15 And as He sat at table in his house, many publicans and sinners also sat down with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed Him. 16 And the scribes and pharisees, when they saw Him eating with publicans and sinners, said to his disciples, What that He eateth with publicans and sinners? 17 Jesus hearing, saith unto them, 18 And as the disciples of John, and of the pharisees used to fast, they came to Him, saying, Why do the disciples of John and of the pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not? 19 And Jesus said unto them, 23 And as He was going thro’ the corn- on the sabbath- his disciples began as they went along to pluck the ears of corn. 24 And the pharisees said to Him, See, why do they what is not lawful on the sabbath-day? 25 And He said unto them, with him?} 26 the high priest, and did eat the shew-bread, which it is not lawful to eat, but the priests, and gave also to them that were with him!} 27 And He said unto them, 28 therefore the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath.}
