Jesus Heals a Man Who Could Not Walk
(Matthew 9.1-8; Luke 5.17-26)
1Jesus went back to Capernaum, and a few days later people heard that he was at home.#2.1 at home: Or “in the house” (perhaps Simon Peter's home). 2Then so many of them came to the house that there wasn't even standing room left in front of the door.
Jesus was still teaching 3when four people came up, carrying a man on a mat because he could not walk. 4But because of the crowd, they could not get him to Jesus. So they made a hole in the roof#2.4 roof: In Palestine the houses usually had a flat roof. Stairs on the outside led up to the roof that was made of beams and boards covered with packed earth. above him and let the man down in front of everyone.
5When Jesus saw how much faith they had, he said to the man, “My friend, your sins are forgiven.”
6Some of the teachers of the Law of Moses were sitting there. They started wondering, 7“Why would he say such a thing? He must think he is God! Only God can forgive sins.”
8At once, Jesus knew what they were thinking, and he said, “Why are you thinking such things? 9Is it easier for me to tell this man his sins are forgiven or to tell him to get up and pick up his mat and go on home? 10I will show you that the Son of Man has the right to forgive sins here on earth.” So Jesus said to the man, 11“Get up! Pick up your mat and go on home.”
12The man got right up. He picked up his mat and went out while everyone watched in amazement. They praised God and said, “We have never seen anything like this!”
Jesus Chooses Levi
(Matthew 9.9-13; Luke 5.27-32)
13Once again, Jesus went to the shore of Lake Galilee. A large crowd gathered around him, and he taught them. 14As he walked along, he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus. Levi was sitting at the place for paying taxes, and Jesus said to him, “Follow me!” So he got up and went with Jesus.
15Later, Jesus and his disciples were having dinner at Levi's house.#2.15 Levi's house: Or “Jesus' house.” Many tax collectors#2.15 tax collectors: These were usually Jewish people who paid the Romans for the right to collect taxes. They were hated by other Jews who thought of them as traitors to their country and to their religion. and other sinners had become followers of Jesus, and they were also guests at the dinner.
16Some of the teachers of the Law of Moses were Pharisees, and they saw Jesus eating with sinners and tax collectors. So they asked his disciples, “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
17Jesus heard them and answered, “Healthy people don't need a doctor, but sick people do. I didn't come to invite good people to be my followers. I came to invite sinners.”
People Ask about Going without Eating
(Matthew 9.14-17; Luke 5.33-39)
18The followers of John the Baptist and the Pharisees often went without eating.#2.18 without eating: The Jewish people sometimes went without eating (also called “fasting”) to show their love for God or to show sorrow for their sins. Some people came and asked Jesus, “Why do the followers of John and those of the Pharisees often go without eating, while your disciples never do?”
19Jesus answered:
The friends of a bridegroom don't go without eating while he is still with them. 20But the time will come when he will be taken from them. Then they will go without eating.
21No one patches old clothes by sewing on a piece of new cloth. The new piece would shrink and tear a bigger hole.
22No one pours new wine into old wineskins. The wine would swell and burst the old skins.#2.22 swell and burst the old skins: While the juice from grapes was becoming wine, it would swell and stretch the skins in which it had been stored. If the skins were old and stiff, they would burst. Then the wine would be lost, and the skins would be ruined. New wine must be put into new wineskins.
A Question about the Sabbath
(Matthew 12.1-8; Luke 6.1-5)
23 #
Dt 23.25. One Sabbath Jesus and his disciples were walking through some wheat fields. His disciples were picking grains of wheat as they went along.#2.23 went along: It was the custom to let hungry travelers pick grains of wheat. 24Some Pharisees asked Jesus, “Why are your disciples picking grain on the Sabbath? They are not supposed to do that!”
25 #
1 S 21.1-6. Jesus answered, “Haven't you read what David did when he and his followers were hungry and in need? 26#Lv 24.9. It was during the time of Abiathar the high priest. David went into the house of God and ate the sacred loaves of bread that only priests are allowed to eat. He also gave some to his followers.”
27Jesus finished by saying, “People were not made for the good of the Sabbath. The Sabbath was made for the good of people. 28So the Son of Man is Lord over the Sabbath.”

Pinagaling ni Jesus ang Isang Paralitiko
(Mt. 9:1-8; Lu. 5:17-26)
1Pagkalipas ng ilang araw, bumalik si Jesus sa Capernaum at kumalat ang balitang siya'y nasa bahay. 2Nagkatipon doon ang napakaraming tao, kaya't halos wala nang mapwestuhan kahit sa labas ng pintuan. Habang nangangaral si Jesus, 3may dumating na apat na taong may dalang isang paralitiko. 4Hindi nila mailapit ang paralitiko kay Jesus dahil sa dami ng tao, kaya't binakbak nila ang bubong sa tapat niya at ibinabâ ang paralitikong nakaratay sa higaan. 5Nang makita ni Jesus kung gaano kalaki ang kanilang pananampalataya, sinabi niya sa paralitiko, “Anak, pinatawad na ang mga kasalanan mo.”
6May nakaupo roong ilang tagapagturo ng Kautusan na nag-isip nang ganito: 7“Bakit siya nagsasalita nang ganoon? Nilalapastangan niya ang Diyos! Hindi ba't ang Diyos lamang ang makakapagpatawad ng kasalanan?”
8Alam ni Jesus ang kanilang iniisip kaya't sinabi niya agad, “Bakit kayo nag-iisip nang ganyan? 9Alin ba ang mas madali, ang sabihin sa paralitiko, ‘Pinapatawad na ang mga kasalanan mo,’ o ang sabihing, ‘Tumayo ka, bitbitin mo ang iyong higaan at lumakad ka’? 10Ngunit upang malaman ninyo na ang Anak ng Tao ay may kapangyarihan dito sa lupa na magpatawad ng mga kasalanan…” sinabi niya sa paralitiko, 11“Tumayo ka, buhatin mo ang iyong higaan, at umuwi ka na!”
12Tumayo nga ang paralitiko habang nakatingin ang lahat. Kaagad niyang binuhat ang kanyang higaan at umalis, kaya ang lahat ng naroroon ay namangha. Sila ay nagpuri sa Diyos at sinabi nila, “Kailanma'y hindi pa kami nakakita ng ganito!”
Ang Pagtawag kay Levi
(Mt. 9:9-13; Lu. 5:27-32)
13Muling pumunta si Jesus sa baybayin ng Lawa ng Galilea. Sinundan siya roon ng napakaraming tao at sila'y kanyang tinuruan. 14Habang naglalakad si Jesus ay nakita niyang nakaupo sa tanggapan ng buwis si Levi na anak ni Alfeo. Sinabi sa kanya ni Jesus, “Sumunod ka sa akin.” Tumayo naman si Levi at sumunod nga sa kanya.
15Nang si Jesus at ang kanyang mga alagad ay kumakain sa bahay ni Levi, kasalo nilang kumakain ang mga maniningil ng buwis at mga makasalanang sumunod sa kanya. 16Nang makita ito ng ilang tagapagturo ng Kautusan na kabilang sa pangkat ng mga Pariseo,#2:16 tagapagturo…pangkat ng mga Pariseo: Sa ibang manuskrito'y tagapagturo ng Kautusan at mga Pariseo. tinanong nila ang kanyang mga alagad, “Bakit siya kumakaing kasama ang mga maniningil ng buwis at mga makasalanan?”
17Narinig ito ni Jesus kaya't siya ang sumagot, “Hindi nangangailangan ng manggagamot ang walang sakit kundi ang maysakit. Naparito ako upang tawagin ang mga makasalanan, hindi ang mga matuwid.”
Katanungan tungkol sa Pag-aayuno
(Mt. 9:14-17; Lu. 5:33-39)
18Minsan, nag-aayuno ang mga alagad ni Juan na Tagapagbautismo at ang mga Pariseo. May lumapit kay Jesus at nagtanong, “Bakit po hindi nag-aayuno ang inyong mga alagad, samantalang ang mga alagad ni Juan na Tagapagbautismo at ang mga Pariseo ay nag-aayuno?”
19Sumagot si Jesus, “Dapat bang mag-ayuno ang mga panauhin sa kasalan habang kasama pa nila ang lalaking ikinasal? Hindi! Hangga't kasama nila ito, hindi nila gagawin iyon. 20Ngunit darating ang araw na kukunin mula sa kanila ang lalaking ikinasal, at saka sila mag-aayuno.
21“Walang nagtatagpi ng bagong tela sa isang lumang damit sapagkat kapag umurong ang bagong tela, mababatak ang tinagpian at lalong lalaki ang punit. 22Wala ring naglalagay ng bagong alak sa lumang sisidlang-balat sapagkat papuputukin lamang ng alak ang sisidlang-balat, at kapwa masasayang ang alak at ang sisidlan. [Sa halip, ang bagong alak ay inilalagay sa bagong sisidlang-balat!]”#2:22 Sa halip…sa bagong sisidlang-balat: Sa ibang manuskrito'y hindi nakasulat ang mga salitang ito.
Katanungan tungkol sa Araw ng Pamamahinga
(Mt. 12:1-8; Lu. 6:1-5)
23Isang#Deut. 23:25. Araw ng Pamamahinga, naparaan si Jesus at ang kanyang mga alagad sa triguhan. Habang sila'y naglalakad, ang mga alagad ay pumipitas ng trigo. 24Sinabi ng mga Pariseo kay Jesus, “Tingnan mo ang ginagawa ng iyong mga alagad. Mahigpit iyang ipinagbabawal ng Kautusan sa Araw ng Pamamahinga!”
25-26Sinagot#1 Sam. 21:1-6.#Lev. 24:9. naman sila ni Jesus, “Hindi pa ba ninyo nababasa ang ginawa ni David noong panahong si Abiatar ang pinakapunong pari? Nang si David at ang kanyang mga kasama'y magutom at walang makain, pumasok siya sa bahay ng Diyos at kumain ng tinapay na handog sa Diyos. Binigyan pa niya ang kanyang mga kasamahan. Ayon sa Kautusan, ang mga pari lamang ang may karapatang kumain niyon.”
27Sinabi rin ni Jesus, “Itinakda ang Araw ng Pamamahinga para sa tao; hindi nilikha ang tao para sa Araw ng Pamamahinga. 28Ang Anak ng Tao ay Panginoon maging ng Araw ng Pamamahinga.”
