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.
