Christian Standard Bible Anglicised
The Son of Man Forgives and Heals
2 When(A) he entered Capernaum(B) again after some days, it was reported that he was at home. 2 So many people gathered together that there was no more room, not even in the doorway, and he was speaking the word(C) to them. 3 They came to him bringing a paralytic,(D) carried by four of them. 4 Since they were not able to bring him to[a] Jesus because of the crowd, they removed the roof above him, and after digging through it, they lowered the mat on which the paralytic was lying. 5 Seeing their faith,(E) Jesus told the paralytic, ‘Son, your sins(F) are forgiven.’(G)
6 But some of the scribes(H) were sitting there, questioning(I) in their hearts: 7 ‘Why does he speak like this? He’s blaspheming!(J) Who can forgive(K) sins(L) but God alone? ’(M)
8 Straight away(N) Jesus perceived in his spirit(O) that they were thinking like this within themselves and said to them, ‘Why are you thinking these things in your hearts? 9 Which is easier:(P) to say to the paralytic,(Q) “Your sins are forgiven,” or to say, “Get up, take your mat, and walk”?(R) 10 But so that you may know that the Son of Man(S) has authority(T) on earth to forgive sins’(U) – he told the paralytic – 11 ‘I tell you: get up,(V) take your mat, and go home.’
12 Immediately he got up, took the mat, and went out in front of everyone. As a result, they were all astounded(W) and gave glory(X) to God,(Y) saying, ‘We have never seen anything like this! ’(Z)
The Call of Levi
13 Jesus(AA) went out again beside the sea. The whole crowd was coming to him, and he was teaching(AB) them. 14 Then, passing by, he saw Levi(AC) the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax office,(AD) and he said to him, ‘Follow me,’(AE) and he got up and followed(AF) him.
15 While he was reclining at the table in Levi’s house, many tax collectors(AG) and sinners(AH) were eating[b] with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many who were following him. 16 When the scribes(AI) who were Pharisees[c](AJ) saw that he was eating(AK) with sinners(AL) and tax collectors,(AM) they asked his disciples, ‘Why does he eat[d] with tax collectors and sinners? ’
17 When Jesus heard this, he told them, ‘It is not those who are well who need(AN) a doctor,(AO) but those who are ill.(AP) I didn’t come to call the righteous,(AQ) but sinners.’(AR)
A Question about Fasting
18 Now(AS) John’s(AT) disciples(AU) and the Pharisees[e](AV) were fasting.(AW) People came and asked him, ‘Why do John’s disciples and the Pharisees’ disciples fast, but your disciples do not fast? ’
19 Jesus said to them, ‘The wedding guests cannot fast while the groom(AX) is with them, can they? As long as they have the groom with them, they cannot fast. 20 But the time[f] will come(AY) when the groom will be taken away from them,(AZ) and then they will fast(BA) on that day. 21 No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. Otherwise, the new patch pulls away from the old cloth,(BB) and a worse tear is made. 22 And no one puts new wine(BC) into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wine will burst(BD) the skins, and the wine is lost as well as the skins. No, new wine is put into fresh wineskins.’
Lord of the Sabbath
23 On(BE) the Sabbath he was going through the cornfields, and his disciples(BF) began to make their way, picking some ears of corn. 24 The Pharisees(BG) said to him, ‘Look, why are they doing what is not lawful(BH) on the Sabbath? ’
25 He said to them, ‘Have you never read what David(BI) and those who were with him did when he was in need(BJ) and hungry(BK) #– # 26 how he entered the house of God in the time of Abiathar(BL) the high priest(BM) and ate the bread of the Presence(BN) #– #which is not lawful for anyone to eat except the priests(BO) #– #and also gave some to his companions? ’ 27 Then he told them, ‘The Sabbath was made for[g] man and not man for the Sabbath.(BP) 28 So then, the Son of Man(BQ) is Lord(BR) even of the Sabbath.’(BS)
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.”
Marc 2
Segond 21
Guérison d’un paralysé
2 Quelques jours après, Jésus revint à Capernaüm. On apprit qu'il était à la maison, 2 et un si grand nombre de personnes se rassemblèrent qu'il n'y avait plus de place, pas même devant la porte. Il leur annonçait la parole.
3 On vint lui amener un paralysé porté par quatre hommes. 4 Comme ils ne pouvaient pas l'aborder à cause de la foule, ils découvrirent le toit au-dessus de l’endroit où il se tenait et descendirent par cette ouverture le brancard sur lequel le paralysé était couché. 5 Voyant leur foi, Jésus dit au paralysé: «Mon enfant, tes péchés te sont pardonnés.» 6 Il y avait là quelques spécialistes de la loi qui étaient assis et qui se disaient en eux-mêmes: 7 «Pourquoi cet homme parle-t-il ainsi? Il blasphème. Qui peut pardonner les péchés, si ce n'est Dieu seul?» 8 Jésus sut aussitôt dans son esprit qu’ils raisonnaient ainsi en eux-mêmes, et il leur dit: «Pourquoi raisonnez-vous ainsi dans vos cœurs? 9 Qu'est-ce qui est le plus facile à dire au paralysé: ‘Tes péchés sont pardonnés’, ou: ‘Lève-toi, prends ton brancard et marche’? 10 Afin que vous sachiez que le Fils de l'homme[a] a sur la terre le pouvoir de pardonner les péchés, 11 je te l'ordonne – dit-il au paralysé –, lève-toi, prends ton brancard et retourne chez toi.» 12 Aussitôt il se leva, prit son brancard et sortit devant tout le monde, de sorte qu'ils étaient tous très étonnés et célébraient la gloire de Dieu en disant: «Nous n'avons jamais rien vu de pareil.»
Réactions face à Jésus
13 Jésus sortit de nouveau du côté du lac. Toute la foule venait à lui et il l'enseignait. 14 En passant, il vit Lévi, fils d'Alphée, assis au bureau des taxes. Il lui dit: «Suis-moi.» Lévi se leva et le suivit.
15 Comme Jésus était à table dans la maison de Lévi, beaucoup de collecteurs d’impôts et de pécheurs[b] se mirent aussi à table avec lui et avec ses disciples, car ils étaient nombreux à le suivre. 16 Le voyant manger avec les collecteurs d’impôts et les pécheurs, les spécialistes de la loi et les pharisiens[c] dirent à ses disciples: «Pourquoi mange-t-il avec les collecteurs d’impôts et les pécheurs?» 17 Jésus, qui avait entendu, leur dit: «Ce ne sont pas les bien portants qui ont besoin de médecin, mais les malades. Je ne suis pas venu appeler des justes, mais des pécheurs, [à changer d’attitude].»
18 Les disciples de Jean et les pharisiens jeûnaient. Ils vinrent dire à Jésus: «Pourquoi les disciples de Jean et ceux des pharisiens jeûnent-ils, tandis que tes disciples ne jeûnent pas?» 19 Jésus leur répondit: «Les invités à la noce peuvent-ils jeûner pendant que le marié est avec eux? Aussi longtemps que le marié est avec eux, ils ne peuvent pas jeûner. 20 Les jours viendront où le marié leur sera enlevé, et alors ils jeûneront durant ces jours-là. 21 Personne ne coud un morceau de tissu neuf sur un vieil habit, sinon la pièce neuve ajoutée arrache une partie du vieux, et la déchirure devient pire. 22 Et personne ne met du vin nouveau dans de vieilles outres, sinon les outres éclatent, le vin coule et les outres sont perdues; mais [il faut mettre] le vin nouveau dans des outres neuves.»
Jésus et le sabbat
23 Un jour de sabbat, Jésus traversait des champs de blé. Tout en marchant, ses disciples se mirent à arracher des épis. 24 Les pharisiens lui dirent: «Regarde! Pourquoi font-ils ce qui n'est pas permis pendant le sabbat[d]?» 25 Jésus leur répondit: «N'avez-vous jamais lu ce qu’a fait David, lorsqu'il a été dans le besoin et qu'il a eu faim, lui et ses compagnons? 26 Il est entré dans la maison de Dieu, à l’époque du grand-prêtre Abiathar, a mangé les pains consacrés qu'il n'est permis qu'aux prêtres de manger et en a même donné à ses compagnons!» 27 Puis il leur dit: «Le sabbat a été fait pour l'homme, et non l'homme pour le sabbat, 28 de sorte que le Fils de l'homme est le Seigneur même du sabbat.»

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.”
