Mark 2
American Standard Version
2 And when he entered again into Capernaum after some days, it was noised that he was [a]in the house. 2 And many were gathered together, so that there was no longer room for them, no, not even about the door: and he spake the word unto them. 3 And they come, bringing unto him a man sick of the palsy, borne of four. 4 And when they could not [b]come nigh unto him for the crowd, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the [c]bed whereon the sick of the palsy lay. 5 And Jesus seeing their faith saith unto the sick of the palsy, [d]Son, thy sins are forgiven. 6 But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, 7 Why doth this man thus speak? he blasphemeth: who can forgive sins but one, even God? 8 And straightway Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, saith unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts? 9 Which is easier, to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins are forgiven; or to say, Arise, and take up thy [e]bed, and walk? 10 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath authority on earth to forgive sins (he saith to the sick of the palsy), 11 I say unto thee, Arise, take up thy [f]bed, and go unto thy house. 12 And he arose, and straightway took up the [g]bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.
13 And he went forth again by the sea side; and all the multitude resorted unto him, and he taught them. 14 And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the place of toll, and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him.
15 And it came to pass, that he was sitting at meat in his house, and many [h]publicans and sinners sat down with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him. 16 And the scribes [i]of the Pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with the sinners and [j]publicans, said unto his disciples, [k]How is it that he eateth [l]and drinketh with [m]publicans and sinners? 17 And when Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are [n]whole have no need of a physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.
18 And John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting: and they come and say unto him, Why do John’s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not? 19 And Jesus said unto them, Can the [o]sons of the bridechamber 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 shall be taken away from them, and then will they fast in that day. 21 No man seweth a piece of undressed cloth on an old garment: else that which should fill it up taketh from it, the new from the old, and a worse rent is made. 22 And no man putteth new wine into old [p]wine-skins; else the wine will burst the skins, and the wine perisheth, and the skins: but they put new wine into fresh wine-skins.
23 And it came to pass, that he was going on the sabbath day through the grainfields; and his disciples [q]began, as they went, to pluck the ears. 24 And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful? 25 And he said unto them, [r]Did ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was hungry, he, and they that were with him? 26 How he entered into the house of God [s]when Abiathar was high priest, and ate the showbread, which it is not lawful to eat save for the priests, and gave also to them that were with him? 27 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: 28 so that the Son of man is lord even of the sabbath.

Hoffnung für Alle
Markus 2
Hoffnung für Alle
Jesus hat die Macht, Sünden zu vergeben (Matthäus 9,1‒8; Lukas 5,17‒26)
2 Nach einigen Tagen kehrte Jesus nach Kapernaum zurück. Es sprach sich schnell herum, dass er wieder zu Hause[a] war. 2 Viele Menschen strömten zusammen, so dass nicht einmal mehr draußen vor der Tür Platz war. Ihnen allen verkündete Jesus Gottes Botschaft.
3 Da kamen vier Männer, die einen Gelähmten trugen. 4 Weil sie wegen der vielen Menschen nicht bis zu Jesus kommen konnten, deckten sie über ihm das Dach ab. Durch diese Öffnung ließen sie den Gelähmten auf seiner Trage hinunter.
5 Als Jesus ihren festen Glauben sah, sagte er zu dem Gelähmten: »Mein Sohn, deine Sünden sind dir vergeben!«
6 Aber einige der anwesenden Schriftgelehrten dachten: 7 »Was bildet der sich ein? Das ist Gotteslästerung! Nur Gott allein kann Sünden vergeben.« 8 Jesus erkannte sofort, was in ihnen vorging, und fragte: »Wie könnt ihr nur so etwas denken! 9 Ist es denn leichter, zu diesem Gelähmten zu sagen: ›Dir sind deine Sünden vergeben‹, oder ihn zu heilen[b]? 10 Aber ich will euch beweisen, dass der Menschensohn die Vollmacht hat, hier auf der Erde Sünden zu vergeben.« Und er forderte den Gelähmten auf: 11 »Steh auf, nimm deine Trage und geh nach Hause!«
12 Da stand der Mann auf, nahm seine Trage und ging vor aller Augen hinaus. Die Leute waren fassungslos. Sie lobten Gott und riefen: »So etwas haben wir noch nie erlebt!«
Der Zolleinnehmer Levi (Matthäus 9,9‒13; Lukas 5,27‒32)
13 Jesus ging wieder an das Ufer des Sees Genezareth. Dort kamen die Menschen in Scharen zu ihm, und er lehrte sie. 14 Als er weiterging, sah er Levi, den Sohn von Alphäus, am Zoll sitzen. Jesus forderte ihn auf: »Komm, folge mir nach!« Sofort stand Levi auf und ging mit ihm.
15 Später war Jesus mit seinen Jüngern bei Levi zu Gast. Levi hatte auch viele Zolleinnehmer und andere Leute mit schlechtem Ruf zum Essen eingeladen. Viele von ihnen hatten sich Jesus angeschlossen. 16 Als aber einige Schriftgelehrte, die zur Partei der Pharisäer gehörten, Jesus in dieser Gesellschaft essen sahen, fragten sie seine Jünger: »Wie kann sich Jesus bloß mit solchen Sündern und Betrügern abgeben?« 17 Jesus hörte das und antwortete: »Die Gesunden brauchen keinen Arzt, sondern die Kranken. Ich bin gekommen, um Sünder in die Gemeinschaft mit Gott zu rufen, und nicht solche, die sich sowieso für gut genug halten.[c]«
Neue Formen für das neue Leben (Matthäus 9,14‒17; Lukas 5,33‒39)
18 Die Jünger von Johannes und die Pharisäer fasteten regelmäßig. Deshalb kamen einige Leute zu Jesus und fragten: »Warum fasten deine Jünger eigentlich nicht wie die Jünger von Johannes und den Pharisäern?«
19 Jesus antwortete ihnen: »Sollen die Hochzeitsgäste etwa fasten, solange der Bräutigam noch bei ihnen ist? Nein, sie werden feiern, solange er da ist! 20 Die Zeit kommt früh genug, dass der Bräutigam ihnen genommen wird. Dann werden sie fasten.
21 Niemand flickt ein altes Kleid mit einem neuen Stück Stoff. Der alte Stoff würde sonst an der Flickstelle doch wieder reißen, und das Loch würde nur noch größer. 22 Ebenso füllt niemand jungen, gärenden Wein in alte, brüchige Schläuche. Sonst bringt er sie zum Platzen. Dann läuft der Wein aus, und die Schläuche sind unbrauchbar. Nein, jungen Wein füllt man in neue Schläuche!«
Erste Auseinandersetzungen mit den Schriftgelehrten und Pharisäern (Kapitel 2,23–3,35)
Der Ruhetag ist für den Menschen da (Matthäus 12,1‒8; Lukas 6,1‒5)
23 An einem Sabbat ging Jesus mit seinen Jüngern durch die Getreidefelder. Unterwegs fingen die Jünger an, Ähren abzureißen und die Körner zu essen. 24 Da beschwerten sich die Pharisäer bei Jesus: »Sieh dir das an! Was sie tun, ist am Sabbat doch gar nicht erlaubt!«
25 Aber Jesus antwortete ihnen: »Habt ihr denn nie gelesen, was König David tat, als er und seine Männer in Not geraten waren und Hunger hatten? 26 Damals – zur Zeit des Hohenpriesters Abjatar – ging er in das Haus Gottes. Er aß mit seinen Männern von dem Brot, das Gott geweiht war und das nur die Priester essen durften.[d]«
27 Und Jesus fügte hinzu: »Der Sabbat wurde doch für den Menschen geschaffen und nicht der Mensch für den Sabbat. 28 Deshalb ist der Menschensohn auch Herr über den Sabbat und kann somit entscheiden, was am Sabbat erlaubt ist.«

Mark 2
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.”
