A Paralytic Healed
1 And when he#*Here “when” is supplied as a component of the participle (“entered”) which is understood as temporal entered again into Capernaum after some days, it became known that he was at home. 2And many had gathered, so that there was no longer room, not even at the door, and he was speaking the word to them. 3And they came bringing to him a paralytic, carried by four of them. 4And when#*Here “when” is supplied as a component of the participle (“able”) which is understood as temporal they were not able to bring him#*Here the direct object is supplied from context in the English translation to him because of the crowd, they removed the roof where he was. And after#*Here “after” is supplied as a component of the participle (“digging through”) which is understood as temporal digging through, they lowered the stretcher on which the paralytic was lying. 5And when#*Here “when” is supplied as a component of the participle (“saw”) which is understood as temporal Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Child, your sins are forgiven.”
6Now some of the scribes were sitting there and reasoning in their hearts, 7“Why does this man speak like this? He is blaspheming! Who is able to forgive sins except God alone?” 8And immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they were reasoning like this within themselves, said to them, “Why are you considering these things in your hearts? 9Which is easier to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say ‘Get up and pick up your stretcher and walk’? 10But so 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, get up, pick up your stretcher, and go to your home.” 12And he got up and immediately picked up his#Literally “the”; the Greek article is used here as a possessive pronoun stretcher and#*Here “and” is supplied because the previous participle (“picked up”) has been translated as a finite verb went out in front of them all, so that they were all amazed and glorified God, saying, “We have never seen anything#*Here the direct object is supplied from context in the English translation like this!”
Levi Called to Follow Jesus
13And he went out again beside the sea,#That is, the Sea of Galilee and all the crowd was coming to him, and he began to teach#The imperfect tense has been translated as ingressive here (“began to teach”) them. 14And as he#*Here “as” is supplied as a component of the participle (“was passing by”) which is understood as temporal was passing by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax booth, and he said to him, “Follow me!” And he stood up and#*Here “and” is supplied because the previous participle (“stood up”) has been translated as a finite verb followed him.
15And it happened that he was dining#Literally “was reclining for a meal” in his house, and many tax collectors and sinners were dining with#Literally “were reclining at table with” Jesus and his disciples, for there were many and they were following him. 16And the scribes of the Pharisees, when they#*Here “when” is supplied as a component of the participle (“saw”) which is understood as temporal saw that he was eating with sinners and tax collectors, began to say#The imperfect tense has been translated as ingressive here (“began to say”) to his disciples, “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?” 17And when#*Here “when” is supplied as a component of the participle (“heard”) which is understood as temporal Jesus heard it#*Here the direct object is supplied from context in the English translation, he said to them, “Those who are healthy do not have need of a physician, but those who are sick.#Literally “having badly” I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
On Fasting
18And John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting, and they came and said to him, “Why#Literally “for what” reason do the disciples of John and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?” 19And Jesus said to them, “The bridegroom’s attendants#Literally “the sons of the bridal chamber” are not able to fast while the bridegroom is with them, are they?#The negative construction in Greek anticipates a negative answer here, indicated in the translation by the phrase “are they” As long a time as they have the bridegroom with them, they are not able to fast. 20But days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast in that day. 21No one sews a patch of unshrunken cloth on an old garment. Otherwise#Literally “but if not” the patch pulls away from it—the new from the old—and the tear becomes worse. 22And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise#Literally “but if not” the wine will burst the wineskins and the wine is destroyed and the wineskins too. But new wine is put into new wineskins.”
Plucking Grain on the Sabbath
23And it happened that he was going through the grain fields on the Sabbath, and his disciples began to make their way while#*Here “while” is supplied as a component of the participle (“picking”) which is understood as temporal plucking off the heads of grain. 24And the Pharisees began to say#The imperfect tense has been translated as ingressive here (“began to say”) to him, “Behold, why are they doing what is not permitted on the Sabbath?” 25And he said to them, “Have you never read what David did when he had need and he and those who were with him were hungry—26how he entered into the house of God in the time of Abiathar the high priest and ate the bread of the presentation, which it is not permitted to eat (except the priests) and also gave it#*Here the direct object is supplied from context in the English translation to those who were with him?” 27And he said to them, “The Sabbath was established for people, and not people for the Sabbath. 28So then, the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath.”

Jesus Heals a Palsied Man
(Matthew 9.1-8; Luke 5.17-26)
1And again he entered into Caper´na-um after some days; and it was noised that he was in the house. 2And 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. 3And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four. 4And 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. 5When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee. 6But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, 7Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only? 8And 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? 9whether 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? 10But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,) 11I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house. 12And 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.
The Call of Levi
(Matthew 9.9-13; Luke 5.27-32)
13And he went forth again by the sea side; and all the multitude resorted unto him, and he taught them. 14And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Al´pheus sitting at the receipt of custom, and said unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him.
15And 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. 16And 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? 17When 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.
The Question about Fasting
(Matthew 9.14-17; Luke 5.33-39)
18And 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? 19And 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. 20But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days. 21No 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. 22And 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.
The Disciples Pluck Grain on the Sabbath
(Matthew 12.1-8; Luke 6.1-5)
23 #
Deut 23.25. 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. 24And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful? 25#1 Sam 21.1-6. And he said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was ahungered, he, and they that were with him? 26#Lev 24.9. How he went into the house of God in the days of Abi´athar the high priest, and did eat the showbread, which is not lawful to eat but for the priests, and gave also to them which were with him? 27And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: 28therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
