Mark 2
Lexham English Bible

A Paralytic Healed

2 And when he[a] entered again into Capernaum after some days, it became known that he was at home. 2 And many had gathered, so that there was no longer room, not even at the door, and he was speaking the word to them. 3 And they came bringing to him a paralytic, carried by four of them. 4 And when[b] they were not able to bring him[c] to him because of the crowd, they removed the roof where he was. And after[d] digging through, they lowered the stretcher on which the paralytic was lying. 5 And when[e] Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Child, your sins are forgiven.”

6 Now 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?” 8 And 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? 9 Which is easier to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say ‘Get up and pick up your stretcher and walk’? 10 But 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.” 12 And he got up and immediately picked up his[f] stretcher and[g] went out in front of them all, so that they were all amazed and glorified God, saying, “We have never seen anything[h] like this!”

Levi Called to Follow Jesus

13 And he went out again beside the sea,[i] and all the crowd was coming to him, and he began to teach[j] them. 14 And as he[k] 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[l] followed him.

15 And it happened that he was dining[m] in his house, and many tax collectors and sinners were dining with[n] Jesus and his disciples, for there were many and they were following him. 16 And the scribes of the Pharisees, when they[o] saw that he was eating with sinners and tax collectors, began to say[p] to his disciples, “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?” 17 And when[q] Jesus heard it[r], he said to them, “Those who are healthy do not have need of a physician, but those who are sick.[s] I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

On Fasting

18 And John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting, and they came and said to him, “Why[t] do the disciples of John and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?” 19 And Jesus said to them, “The bridegroom’s attendants[u] are not able to fast while the bridegroom is with them, are they?[v] As long a time as they have the bridegroom with them, they are not able to fast. 20 But days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast in that day. 21 No one sews a patch of unshrunken cloth on an old garment. Otherwise[w] the patch pulls away from it—the new from the old—and the tear becomes worse. 22 And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise[x] 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

23 And it happened that he was going through the grain fields on the Sabbath, and his disciples began to make their way while[y] plucking off the heads of grain. 24 And the Pharisees began to say[z] to him, “Behold, why are they doing what is not permitted on the Sabbath?” 25 And 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— 26 how 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[aa] to those who were with him?” 27 And he said to them, “The Sabbath was established for people, and not people for the Sabbath. 28 So then, the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath.”

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.”

Marcos 2
Ang Bagong Tipan: Filipino Standard Version

Ang Pagpapagaling sa Paralitiko(A)

2 Nang magbalik si Jesus sa Capernaum pagkaraan ng ilang araw, kumalat ang balitang siya'y nasa kanilang bahay. 2 Nagtipon doon ang maraming tao, kaya't wala nang lugar kahit sa may pintuan. Ipinangangaral niya sa kanila ang salita. 3 Dumating ang apat na lalaking may buhat na lalaking paralitiko. 4 Dahil sa dami ng tao ay hindi nila mailapit ang paralitiko kay Jesus, kaya't binakbak nila ang bubungan sa tapat niya. Pagkatapos nito'y ibinaba nila ang paralitikong nakaratay sa higaan. 5 Nang makita ni Jesus ang kanilang pananampalataya, sinabi niya sa paralitiko, “Anak, pinapatawad na ang iyong mga kasalanan.” 6 Ang mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan na nakaupo roon ay nag-iisip ng ganito: 7 “Bakit ganyan ang salita ng taong iyan? Kalapastanganan iyan! Hindi ba't Diyos lamang ang makapagpapatawad ng kasalanan?” 8 Kaagad nabatid ni Jesus sa kanyang kalooban ang tanong sa kanilang pag-iisip, kaya't sinabi niya, “Bakit kayo nag-iisip ng ganyan? 9 Alin ba ang mas madali, ang sabihin sa paralitiko, ‘Pinapatawad na ang iyong mga kasalanan;’ o ang sabihin, ‘Bumangon ka, damputin mo ang iyong higaan, at lumakad ka?’ 10 Ngunit upang malaman ninyo na dito sa lupa ang Anak ng Tao ay may kapangyarihang magpatawad ng mga kasalanan”—sinabi niya sa paralitiko, 11 “Sinasabi ko sa iyo, bumangon ka, damputin mo ang iyong higaan, at umuwi ka na!” 12 Bumangon nga ang lalaki, agad na dinampot ang higaan at umalis sa harapan nilang lahat. Dahil dito'y namangha ang lahat at niluwalhati ang Diyos. Sinabi nila, “Wala pa kaming nakitang tulad nito!”

Ang Pagtawag kay Levi(B)

13 Nagbalik si Jesus sa dalampasigan ng Galilea. Pinuntahan siya roon ng napakaraming tao at nagturo siya sa mga ito. 14 Sa kanyang paglalakad, nakita niyang nakaupo sa bayaran ng buwis si Levi na anak ni Alfeo. “Sumunod ka sa akin,” sabi sa kanya ni Jesus. Tumayo naman si Levi at sumunod sa kanya.

15 Habang naghahapunan si Jesus sa bahay ni Levi, kasalo niya at ng kanyang mga alagad ang maraming maniningil ng buwis at mga makasalanan. Marami sa kanila ang sumunod sa kanya. 16 Nang makita ng mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan na[a] kabilang sa mga Fariseo ang mga makasalanan at ang mga maniningil ng buwis, na kasalo ni Jesus, tinanong nila ang kanyang mga alagad, “Bakit siya nakikisalo sa mga maniningil ng buwis at mga makasalanan?” 17 Narinig sila ni Jesus, kaya't sinabi sa kanila, “Hindi ang malulusog ang nangangailangan ng manggagamot, kundi ang mga maysakit. Naparito ako hindi upang tawagin ang mga matuwid, kundi ang mga makasalanan.”

Ang Katanungan tungkol sa Pag-aayuno(C)

18 Nag-aayuno noon ang mga alagad ni Juan at ang mga Fariseo. May mga lumapit kay Jesus at nagtanong, “Bakit nag-aayuno ang mga alagad ni Juan at ng mga Fariseo, ngunit ang mga alagad mo ay hindi nag-aayuno?” 19 Sumagot si Jesus, “Maaari bang mag-ayuno ang mga panauhin sa kasalan habang kasama nila ang lalaking ikakasal? Habang kasama pa nila ang lalaking ikakasal, hindi sila maaaring mag-ayuno. 20 Ngunit darating ang panahong kukunin sa kanila ang lalaking ikakasal; doon pa lamang sila makapag-aayuno. 21 Walang nagtatagpi ng bagong tela sa lumang damit sapagkat kapag umurong ang bagong tela, hahatakin nito ang luma, at lalong lalaki ang punit. 22 Wala ring naglalagay ng bagong alak sa lumang sisidlang-balat sapagkat papuputukin ng bagong alak ang lumang balat. Matatapon lamang ang alak at masisira ang mga sisidlang-balat. Sa halip, ang bagong alak ay inilalagay sa bagong sisidlang-balat.”

Ang Pamimitas ng Trigo sa Araw ng Sabbath(D)

23 Isang (E) araw ng Sabbath, napadaan sina Jesus sa isang bukirin ng trigo. Sa kanilang paglalakad, namitas ng uhay ang kanyang mga alagad. 24 Sinabi sa kanya ng mga Fariseo, “Tingnan mo, bakit ginagawa ng mga alagad mo ang ipinagbabawal sa araw ng Sabbath?” 25 Sinagot sila ni Jesus, “Hindi ba ninyo nabasa ang ginawa ni David nang siya at ang kanyang mga kasamahan ay nagutom at nangailangan ng pagkain? 26 Noong (F) si Abiatar ang Kataas-taasang Pari, pumasok siya sa bahay ng Diyos at kinain ang tinapay na handog sa Diyos. Binigyan pa niya ang kanyang mga kasamahan, gayong ang mga pari lamang ang pinahihintulutang kumain niyon.” 27 Sinabi ni Jesus, “Nagkaroon ng Sabbath para sa tao, at hindi ng tao para sa Sabbath. 28 Kaya't ang Anak ng Tao ay Panginoon maging ng Sabbath.”

New International Version

Jesus Forgives and Heals a Paralyzed Man(A)

2 A few days later, when Jesus again entered Capernaum, the people heard that he had come home. 2 They gathered in such large numbers(B) that there was no room left, not even outside the door, and he preached the word to them. 3 Some men came, bringing to him a paralyzed man,(C) carried by four of them. 4 Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and then lowered the mat the man was lying on. 5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”(D)

6 Now some teachers of the law were sitting there, thinking to themselves, 7 “Why does this fellow talk like that? He’s blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?”(E)

8 Immediately Jesus knew in his spirit that this was what they were thinking in their hearts, and he said to them, “Why are you thinking these things? 9 Which is easier: to say to this paralyzed man, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up, take your mat and walk’? 10 But I want you to know that the Son of Man(F) has authority on earth to forgive sins.” So he said to the man, 11 “I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home.” 12 He got up, took his mat and walked out in full view of them all. This amazed everyone and they praised God,(G) saying, “We have never seen anything like this!”(H)

Jesus Calls Levi and Eats With Sinners(I)

13 Once again Jesus went out beside the lake. A large crowd came to him,(J) and he began to teach them. 14 As he walked along, he saw Levi son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax collector’s booth. “Follow me,”(K) Jesus told him, and Levi got up and followed him.

15 While Jesus was having dinner at Levi’s house, many tax collectors and sinners were eating with him and his disciples, for there were many who followed him. 16 When the teachers of the law who were Pharisees(L) saw him eating with the sinners and tax collectors, they asked his disciples: “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?”(M)

17 On hearing this, Jesus said to them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”(N)

Jesus Questioned About Fasting(O)

18 Now John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting.(P) Some people came and asked Jesus, “How is it that John’s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees are fasting, but yours are not?”

19 Jesus answered, “How can the guests of the bridegroom fast while he is with them? They cannot, so long as they have him with them. 20 But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them,(Q) and on that day they will fast.

21 “No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. Otherwise, the new piece will pull away from the old, making the tear worse. 22 And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins.”

Jesus Is Lord of the Sabbath(R)(S)

23 One Sabbath Jesus was going through the grainfields, and as his disciples walked along, they began to pick some heads of grain.(T) 24 The Pharisees said to him, “Look, why are they doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?”(U)

25 He answered, “Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need? 26 In the days of Abiathar the high priest,(V) he entered the house of God and ate the consecrated bread, which is lawful only for priests to eat.(W) And he also gave some to his companions.”(X)

27 Then he said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man,(Y) not man for the Sabbath.(Z) 28 So the Son of Man(AA) is Lord even of the Sabbath.”
