Noyes - Mark - 2

2:1  And after some days he again entered Capernaum; and it was reported that he was in the house.

2:2  And many were gathered together, so that there was no longer room for them, even at the door; and he was speaking the word to them.

2:3  And they come to him, bringing one that was palsied, borne by four men.

2:4  And not being able to bring him to him on account of the crowd, they took off the roof where he was; and when they had broken an opening, they let down the bed whereon the palsied man lay.

2:5  And Jesus seeing their faith, saith to the palsied man, Son, thy sins are forgiven.

2:6  But there were some of the scribes sitting there and reasoning in their hearts,

2:7  Why doth this man speak thus? He blasphemeth; who can forgive sins but God only?

2:8  And Jesus immediately perceiving in his spirit that they reasoned thus within themselves, saith to them, Why do ye reason thus in your hearts?

2:9  Which is easier? to say to the palsied man, Thy sins are forgiven? or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed and go?

2:10  But that ye may know that the Son of man hath authority on earth to forgive sins,—he saith to the palsied man,—

2:11  I say to thee, Arise, take up thy bed and go to thy house.

2:12  And he arose, and immediately took up the bed and went forth before them all; so that they were all amazed, and gave glory to God, saying, We never saw it thus.

2:13  And he went forth again to the lake; and all the multitude came to him, and he taught them.

2:14  And passing along, he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, sitting at the custom-house; and he saith to him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him.

2:15  And it happened that he was reclining at table in his house; and many publicans and sinners were reclining with Jesus and his disciples; for there were many, and scribes of the Pharisees were also following him.

2:16  And when they saw that he was eating with the publicans and sinners, they said to his disciples, Doth he eat and drink with publicans and sinners?

2:17  And Jesus hearing it, saith to them, They who are well do not need a physician, but they who are sick. I came not to call righteous men, but sinners.

2:18  And the disciples of John and the Pharisees were fasting; and they come and say to him, Why do the disciples of John and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, and thy disciples fast not?

2:19  And Jesus said to them, Can the companions of the bridegroom fast, while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.

2:20  But the days will come, when the bridegroom will be taken from them, and then will they fast in that day.

2:21  No one seweth a patch of undressed cloth on an old garment; for the new piece teareth away from the old garment, and a worse rent is made.

2:22  And no one putteth new wine into old skins; for the new wine will burst the skins, and the wine is lost, and the skins.

2:23  And it came to pass, that he was going through the grain-fields on the sabbath, and his disciples began, as they went along, to pluck the ears of grain.

2:24  And the Pharisees said to him, See, why are they doing on the sabbath that which is not lawful?

2:25  And he saith to them, Did ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was hungry, himself and they who were with him?

2:26  how he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high-priest, and ate the show-bread, which it is lawful for none but the priests to eat, and gave also to those who were with him?

2:27  And he said to them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath.

2:28  So that the Son of man is lord even of the sabbath.
