Marqos (Mark) 2
2
1And some days later He again entered into Kephar Naḥum, and it was heard that He was in the house.
2And so many gathered together, that there was no more room, not even at the door. And He spoke the Word to them.
3And they came to Him, bringing a paralytic, carried by four.
4And not being able to come near Him because of the crowd, they uncovered the roof where He was. And when they had broken through, they let down the bed on which the paralytic was lying.
5And when יהושע saw their belief, He said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.”
6Now some of the scribes were sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
7Why does this One talk like this? He is blaspheming! Who is able to forgive sins but Elohim alone?
8And immediately יהושע, knowing in His spirit that they were reasoning that way within themselves, said to them, “Why do you reason about all this in your hearts?
9“Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Rise, take up your bed and walk’?
10“But in order for you to know that the Son of Aḏam possesses authority on earth to forgive sins...” He said to the paralytic,”
11I say to you, rise, take up your bed, and go to your house.
12And he rose straightaway, and took up the bed, and went out before all, so that all were amazed and praised Elohim, saying, “We have never seen the like of it!”
13And He went out again by the sea, and all the crowd was coming to Him, and He taught them.
14And passing by, He saw Lĕwi the son of Alphai sitting at the tax office, and said to him, “Follow Me.” And having risen he followed Him.
15And it came to be, as He sat at the table at his house, that many tax collectors and sinners also sat with יהושע and His taught ones, for there were many, and they followed Him.
16And when the scribes and Pharisees saw Him eating with the tax collectors and sinners, they said to His taught ones, “Why does He eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”
17And hearing this, יהושע said to them, “Those who are strong have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I did not come to call the righteous to repentance, but sinners.”
18And the taught ones of Yoḥanan and of the Pharisees were fasting. And they came and said to Him, “Why do the taught ones of Yoḥanan and of the Pharisees fast, but Your taught ones do not fast?”
19And יהושע said to them, “Are the friends of the bridegroom able to fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them they are not able to fast.
20“But the days shall come when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then they shall fast in those days.
21“And no one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, otherwise the renewed piece pulls away from the old, and the tear is made worse.
22And no one puts new wine into old wineskins, otherwise the new wine bursts the wineskins, and the wine runs out, and the wineskins are ruined. But new wine is to be put into fresh wineskins.
23And it came to be that He went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. And as they went His taught ones began to pluck heads of grain,
24and the Pharisees said to Him, “Look, why do they do what is not right on the Sabbath?”
25And He said to them, “Have you never read what Dawiḏ did when he had need and was hungry, he and those with him?
26How he went into the House of Elohim, while Eḇyathar was high priest, and ate the showbread, which is not right to eat, except for the priests, and he gave it also to those who were with him?
27And He said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath.
28So the Son of Aḏam is also Master of the Sabbath.”#See also Gen. 2:2, 3

Mark 2
2
The Healing of a Paralytic
Mt 9:1–8; Lk 5:17–26
1#Mt 9:1Again, He entered Capernaum after some days. And it was reported that He was in the house. 2#Mk 1:45; 2:13Immediately many were gathered together, so that there was no room to receive them, not even at the door. And He preached the word to them. 3#Lk 5:18–26They came to Him bringing one sick with paralysis, who was carried by four men. 4#Lk 5:19When they could not come near Him due to the crowding, they uncovered the roof where He was. When they had broken it open, they let down the bed on which the paralytic lay. 5#Mt 9:2; 9:22When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.”
6But some of the scribes were sitting there, reasoning in their hearts, 7#Isa 43:25; Mk 14:64; Jn 10:36“Why does this Man speak such blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”
8Immediately, when Jesus perceived in His spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, He said to them, “Why do you contemplate these things in your hearts? 9Which is easier to say to the paralytic: ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Rise, take up your bed and walk’? 10But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins,” He said to the paralytic, 11“I say to you, rise, and take up your bed, and go your way to your house.” 12#Mt 9:8; 9:33Immediately he rose, picked up the bed, and went out in front of them all, so that they were all amazed and glorified God, saying, “We never saw anything like this!”
The Calling of Levi
Mt 9:9–13; Lk 5:27–32
13#Mk 1:45He went out again by the seaside, and the whole crowd came to Him, and He taught them. 14#Mk 3:18As He passed by, He saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax collector’s station, and He said to him, “Follow Me.” And he rose and followed Him.
15As Jesus was at supper in his house, many tax collectors and sinners also sat together with Jesus and His disciples. For there were many, and they followed Him. 16#Ac 23:9When the scribes and Pharisees saw Him eating with tax collectors and sinners, they said to His disciples, “How is it that He eats and drinks with tax collectors and sinners?”
17#Mt 9:12–13; Lk 5:31–32When 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 to repentance.”
The Question About Fasting
Mt 9:14–17; Lk 5:33–39
18#Mt 6:16; 6:18Now the disciples of John and of the Pharisees were fasting. And people came and said to Him, “Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but Your disciples do not fast?”
19Jesus 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. 20#Lk 17:22But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast in those days.
21“No one sews a piece of new cloth on an old garment, or else the new piece that covered it tears away from the old, and the tear is made worse. 22#Jos 9:4And no one pours new wine into old wineskins, or else the new wine bursts the wineskins, and the wine is spilled, and the wineskins will be marred. But new wine must be poured into new wineskins.”
The Question About the Sabbath
Mt 12:1–8; Lk 6:1–5
23#Mt 12:1–8; Lk 6:1–5He went through the grain fields on the Sabbath. As they went, His disciples began to pluck the heads of grain. 24#Ex 20:10The Pharisees said to Him, “Look, why are they doing on the Sabbath what is not lawful?”
25#1Sa 21:3–6; Mt 21:16He said to them, “Have you never read what David did, when he and those who were with him were in need and hungry: 26#2Sa 8:17; Lev 24:5–9how he went into the house of God, in the days Abiathar was the high priest, and ate the ritual bread, which is lawful only for the priests to eat, and also gave it to those who were with him?”
27#Col 2:16; Ex 23:12; Dt 5:14Then He said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath. 28#Rev 1:10So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”
