Mark 2
New King James Version
Jesus Forgives and Heals a Paralytic(A)
2 And again (B)He entered Capernaum after some days, and it was heard that He was in the house. 2 [a]Immediately many gathered together, so that there was no longer room to receive them, not even near the door. And He preached the word to them. 3 Then they came to Him, bringing a (C)paralytic who was carried by four men. 4 And when they could not come near Him because of the crowd, they uncovered the roof where He was. So when they had broken through, they let down the bed on which the paralytic was lying.
5 When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.”
6 And some of the scribes were sitting there and reasoning in their hearts, 7 “Why does this Man speak blasphemies like this? (D)Who can forgive sins but God alone?”
8 But immediately, when Jesus perceived in His spirit that they reasoned thus within themselves, He said to them, “Why do you reason about these things in your hearts? 9 (E)Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Arise, take up your bed and walk’? 10 But that you may know that the Son of Man has [b]power on earth to forgive sins”—He said to the paralytic, 11 “I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.” 12 Immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went out in the presence of them all, so that all were amazed and (F)glorified God, saying, “We never saw anything like this!”
Matthew the Tax Collector(G)
13 (H)Then He went out again by the sea; and all the multitude came to Him, and He taught them. 14 (I)As He passed by, He saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax office. And He said to him, (J)“Follow Me.” So he arose and (K)followed Him.
15 (L)Now it happened, as He was dining in Levi’s house, that many tax collectors and sinners also sat together with Jesus and His disciples; for there were many, and they followed Him. 16 And when the scribes [c]and Pharisees saw Him eating with the tax collectors and sinners, they said to His disciples, “How is it that He eats and drinks with tax collectors and sinners?”
17 When Jesus heard it, He said to them, (M)“Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, [d]to repentance.”
Jesus Is Questioned About Fasting(N)
18 (O)The disciples of John and of the Pharisees were fasting. Then they came and said to Him, “Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but Your disciples do not fast?”
19 And Jesus said to them, “Can the [e]friends of the bridegroom fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them they cannot fast. 20 But the days will come when the bridegroom will be (P)taken away from them, and then they will fast in those days. 21 No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; or else the new piece pulls away from the old, and the tear is made worse. 22 And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine bursts the wineskins, the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined. But new wine must be put into new wineskins.”
Jesus Is Lord of the Sabbath(Q)
23 (R)Now it happened that He went through the grainfields on the Sabbath; and as they went His disciples began (S)to pluck the heads of grain. 24 And the Pharisees said to Him, “Look, why do they do what is (T)not lawful on the Sabbath?”
25 But He said to them, “Have you never read (U)what David did when he was in need and hungry, he and those with him: 26 how he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the showbread, (V)which is not lawful to eat except for the priests, and also gave some to those who were with him?”
27 And He said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the (W)Sabbath. 28 Therefore (X)the Son of Man is also Lord of the Sabbath.”

Pinagaling ni Jesus ang Isang Paralitiko(A)
2 Pagkalipas ng ilang araw, bumalik si Jesus sa Capernaum at kumalat ang balitang siya'y nasa bahay. 2 Nagkatipon doon ang napakaraming tao, kaya't halos wala nang mapwestuhan kahit sa labas ng pintuan. Habang nangangaral si Jesus, 3 may dumating na apat na taong may dalang isang paralitiko. 4 Hindi 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. 5 Nang makita ni Jesus kung gaano kalaki ang kanilang pananampalataya, sinabi niya sa paralitiko, “Anak, pinatawad na ang mga kasalanan mo.”
6 May 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?”
8 Alam ni Jesus ang kanilang iniisip kaya't sinabi niya agad, “Bakit kayo nag-iisip nang ganyan? 9 Alin 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’? 10 Ngunit 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!”
12 Tumayo 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(B)
13 Muling pumunta si Jesus sa baybayin ng Lawa ng Galilea. Sinundan siya roon ng napakaraming tao at sila'y kanyang tinuruan. 14 Habang 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.
15 Nang 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. 16 Nang makita ito ng ilang tagapagturo ng Kautusan na kabilang sa pangkat ng mga Pariseo,[a] tinanong nila ang kanyang mga alagad, “Bakit siya kumakaing kasama ang mga maniningil ng buwis at mga makasalanan?”
17 Narinig 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(C)
18 Minsan, 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?”
19 Sumagot 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. 20 Ngunit 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. 22 Wala 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!]”[b]
Katanungan tungkol sa Araw ng Pamamahinga(D)
23 Isang(E)(F) Araw ng Pamamahinga, naparaan si Jesus at ang kanyang mga alagad sa triguhan. Habang sila'y naglalakad, ang mga alagad ay pumipitas ng trigo. 24 Sinabi ng mga Pariseo kay Jesus, “Tingnan mo ang ginagawa ng iyong mga alagad. Mahigpit iyang ipinagbabawal ng Kautusan sa Araw ng Pamamahinga!”
25-26 Sinagot(G) 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.”
27 Sinabi rin ni Jesus, “Itinakda ang Araw ng Pamamahinga para sa tao; hindi nilikha ang tao para sa Araw ng Pamamahinga. 28 Ang Anak ng Tao ay Panginoon maging ng Araw ng Pamamahinga.”
