2:1 And
when
he
returned
to
Capernaum
after
some
days,
it
was
reported
that
he
was
at
home.
2:2 And
many
were
gathered
together,
so
that
there
was
no
more
room,
not
even
at
the
door.
And
he
was
preaching
the
word
to
them.
2:3 And
they
came,
bringing
to
him
a
paralytic
carried
by
four
men.
2:4 And
when
they
could
not
get
near
him
because
of
the
crowd,
they
removed
the
roof
above
him,
and
when
they
had
made
an
opening,
they
let
down
the
bed
on
which
the
paralytic
lay.
2:5 And
when
Jesus
saw
their
faith,
he
said
to
the
paralytic,
"Son,
your
sins
are
forgiven."
2:6 Now
some
of
the
scribes
were
sitting
there,
questioning
in
their
hearts,
2:7 "Why
does
this
man
speak
like
that
He
is
blaspheming!
Who
can
forgive
sins
but
God
alone"
2:8 And
immediately
Jesus,
perceiving
in
his
spirit
that
they
thus
questioned
within
themselves,
said
to
them,
"Why
do
you
question
these
things
in
your
hearts
2:9 Which
is
easier,
to
say
to
the
paralytic,
'Your
sins
are
forgiven,'
or
to
say,
'Rise,
take
up
your
bed
and
walk'
2:10 But
that
you
may
know
that
the
Son
of
Man
has
authority
on
earth
to
forgive
sins"--he
said
to
the
paralytic--
2:11 "I
say
to
you,
rise,
pick
up
your
bed,
and
go
home."
2:12 And
he
rose
and
immediately
picked
up
his
bed
and
went
out
before
them
all,
so
that
they
were
all
amazed
and
glorified
God,
saying,
"We
never
saw
anything
like
this!"
2:13 He
went
out
again
beside
the
sea,
and
all
the
crowd
was
coming
to
him,
and
he
was
teaching
them.
2:14 And
as
he
passed
by,
he
saw
Levi
the
son
of
Alphaeus
sitting
at
the
tax
booth,
and
he
said
to
him,
"Follow
me."
And
he
rose
and
followed
him.
2:15 And
as
he
reclined
at
table
in
his
house,
many
tax
collectors
and
sinners
were
reclining
with
Jesus
and
his
disciples,
for
there
were
many
who
followed
him.
2:16 And
the
scribes
of
the
Pharisees,
when
they
saw
that
he
was
eating
with
sinners
and
tax
collectors,
said
to
his
disciples,
"Why
does
he
eat
with
tax
collectors
and
sinners"
2:17 And
when
Jesus
heard
it,
he
said
to
them,
"Those
who
are
well
have
no
need
of
a
physician,
but
those
who
are
sick.
I
came
not
to
call
the
righteous,
but
sinners."
2:18 Now
John's
disciples
and
the
Pharisees
were
fasting.
And
people
came
and
said
to
him,
"Why
do
John's
disciples
and
the
disciples
of
the
Pharisees
fast,
but
your
disciples
do
not
fast"
2:19 And
Jesus
said
to
them,
"Can
the
wedding
guests
fast
while
the
bridegroom
is
with
them
As
long
as
they
have
the
bridegroom
with
them,
they
cannot
fast.
2:20 The
days
will
come
when
the
bridegroom
is
taken
away
from
them,
and
then
they
will
fast
in
that
day.
2:21 No
one
sews
a
piece
of
unshrunk
cloth
on
an
old
garment.
If
he
does,
the
patch
tears
away
from
it,
the
new
from
the
old,
and
a
worse
tear
is
made.
2:22 And
no
one
puts
new
wine
into
old
wineskins.
If
he
does,
the
wine
will
burst
the
skins--and
the
wine
is
destroyed,
and
so
are
the
skins.
But
new
wine
is
for
fresh
wineskins."
2:23 One
Sabbath
he
was
going
through
the
grainfields,
and
as
they
made
their
way,
his
disciples
began
to
pluck
heads
of
grain.
2:24 And
the
Pharisees
were
saying
to
him,
"Look,
why
are
they
doing
what
is
not
lawful
on
the
Sabbath"
2:25 And
he
said
to
them,
"Have
you
never
read
what
David
did,
when
he
was
in
need
and
was
hungry,
he
and
those
who
were
with
him:
2:26 how
he
entered
the
house
of
God,
in
the
time
of
Abiathar
the
high
priest,
and
ate
the
bread
of
the
Presence,
which
it
is
not
lawful
for
any
but
the
priests
to
eat,
and
also
gave
it
to
those
who
were
with
him"
2:27 And
he
said
to
them,
"The
Sabbath
was
made
for
man,
not
man
for
the
Sabbath.
2:28 So
the
Son
of
Man
is
lord
even
of
the
Sabbath."
