Mark 1:21-2:17 (King James Version)

 ²¹And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught.

 ²²And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.

 ²³And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,

 ²⁴Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.

 ²⁵And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.

 ²⁶And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him.

 ²⁷And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him.

 ²⁸And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee.

 ²⁹And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

 ³⁰But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they tell him of her.

 ³¹And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.

 ³²And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils.

 ³³And all the city was gathered together at the door.

 ³⁴And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him.

 ³⁵And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.

 ³⁶And Simon and they that were with him followed after him.

 ³⁷And when they had found him, they said unto him, All men seek for thee.

 ³⁸And he said unto them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for therefore came I forth.

 ³⁹And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast out devils.

 ⁴⁰And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

 ⁴¹And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean.

 ⁴²And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.

 ⁴³And he straitly charged him, and forthwith sent him away;

 ⁴⁴And saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

 ⁴⁵But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.

Mark 2

 ¹And again he entered into Capernaum 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 was 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.

 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 Alphaeus 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.
