Mark

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.
