Jesus Heals a Paralyzed Man(A)
2 A few days later Jesus went back to Capernaum, and the news spread that he was at home. 2 So many people came together that there was no room left, not even out in front of the door. Jesus was preaching the message to them 3 when four men arrived, carrying a paralyzed man to Jesus. 4 Because of the crowd, however, they could not get the man to him. So they made a hole in the roof right above the place where Jesus was. When they had made an opening, they let the man down, lying on his mat. 5 Seeing how much faith they had, Jesus said to the paralyzed man, “My son, your sins are forgiven.”
6 Some teachers of the Law who were sitting there thought to themselves, 7 “How does he dare talk like this? This is blasphemy! God is the only one who can forgive sins!”
8 At once Jesus knew what they were thinking, so he said to them, “Why do you think such things? 9 Is it easier to say to this paralyzed man, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up, pick up your mat, and walk’? 10 I will prove to you, then, that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.” So he said to the paralyzed man, 11 “I tell you, get up, pick up your mat, and go home!”
12 While they all watched, the man got up, picked up his mat, and hurried away. They were all completely amazed and praised God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this!”
Jesus Calls Levi(B)
13 Jesus went back again to the shore of Lake Galilee. A crowd came to him, and he started teaching them. 14 As he walked along, he saw a tax collector, Levi son of Alphaeus, sitting in his office. Jesus said to him, “Follow me.” Levi got up and followed him.
15 Later on Jesus was having a meal in Levi's house.[a] A large number of tax collectors and other outcasts was following Jesus, and many of them joined him and his disciples at the table. 16 Some teachers of the Law, who were Pharisees, saw that Jesus was eating with these outcasts and tax collectors, so they asked his disciples, “Why does he eat with such people?”
17 Jesus heard them and answered, “People who are well do not need a doctor, but only those who are sick. I have not come to call respectable people, but outcasts.”
The Question about Fasting(C)
18 On one occasion the followers of John the Baptist and the Pharisees were fasting. Some people came to Jesus and asked him, “Why is it that the disciples of John the Baptist and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but yours do not?”
19 Jesus answered, “Do you expect the guests at a wedding party to go without food? Of course not! As long as the bridegroom is with them, they will not do that. 20 But the day will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast.
21 “No one uses a piece of new cloth to patch up an old coat, because the new patch will shrink and tear off some of the old cloth, making an even bigger hole. 22 Nor does anyone pour new wine into used wineskins, because the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the skins will be ruined. Instead, new wine must be poured into fresh wineskins.”
The Question about the Sabbath(D)
23 (E)Jesus was walking through some wheat fields on a Sabbath. As his disciples walked along with him, they began to pick the heads of wheat. 24 So the Pharisees said to Jesus, “Look, it is against our Law for your disciples to do that on the Sabbath!”
25 Jesus answered, “Have you never read what David did that time when he needed something to eat? He and his men were hungry, 26 (F)so he went into the house of God and ate the bread offered to God. This happened when Abiathar was the High Priest. According to our Law only the priests may eat this bread—but David ate it and even gave it to his men.”
27 And Jesus concluded, “The Sabbath was made for the good of human beings; they were not made for the Sabbath. 28 So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”

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.”

Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Pinagaling ni Jesus ang Isang Paralitiko(A)
2 1-2 Pagkalipas ng ilang araw, bumalik si Jesus sa Capernaum. Agad namang kumalat ang balitang naroon siya. Kaya napakaraming tao ang nagtipon doon sa tinutuluyan niya hanggang sa wala nang lugar kahit sa labas ng pintuan. At ipinangaral niya sa kanila ang salita ng Dios. 3 Habang siya ay nangangaral, may mga taong dumating kasama ang isang paralitikong nasa higaan na buhat-buhat ng apat na lalaki. 4 Dahil sa dami ng tao, hindi sila makalapit kay Jesus. Kaya binutasan nila ang bubong sa tapat ni Jesus at saka ibinaba ang paralitikong nakahiga sa kanyang higaan. 5 Nang makita ni Jesus ang kanilang pananampalataya, sinabi niya sa paralitiko, “Anak, pinatawad na ang iyong mga kasalanan.” 6 Narinig ito ng ilang mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan na nakaupo roon. Sinabi nila sa kanilang sarili, 7 “Bakit siya nagsasalita ng ganyan? Nilalapastangan niya ang Dios! Walang makakapagpatawad ng kasalanan kundi ang Dios lang!” 8 Nalaman agad ni Jesus ang kanilang iniisip, kaya sinabi niya sa kanila, “Bakit kayo nag-iisip ng ganyan? 9 Alin ba ang mas madaling sabihin sa paralitiko: ‘Pinatawad na ang iyong mga kasalanan,’ o ‘Tumayo ka, buhatin mo ang iyong higaan at lumakad’? 10 Ngayon, papatunayan ko sa inyo sa pamamagitan ng pagpapagaling sa taong ito na ako na Anak ng Tao ay may kapangyarihan dito sa lupa na magpatawad ng kasalanan.” At sinabi niya sa paralitiko, 11 “Tumayo ka, buhatin mo ang iyong higaan at umuwi!” 12 Tumayo nga ang paralitiko, agad na binuhat ang kanyang higaan at lumabas habang nakatingin ang lahat. Namangha ang lahat at pinuri nila ang Dios. Sinabi nila, “Ngayon lang kami nakakita ng ganito.”
Tinawag ni Jesus si Levi(B)
13 Muling pumunta si Jesus sa tabi ng lawa ng Galilea. Maraming tao ang pumunta roon sa kanya, at tinuruan niya ang mga ito. 14 Habang naglalakad siya, nakita niya ang maniningil ng buwis na si Levi na anak ni Alfeus. Nakaupo siya sa lugar na pinagbabayaran ng buwis. Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanya, “Sumunod ka sa akin.” Tumayo naman si Levi at sumunod kay Jesus.
15 Habang kumakain si Jesus at ang mga tagasunod niya sa bahay ni Levi, maraming maniningil ng buwis at iba pang mga itinuturing na makasalanan ang kasama nilang kumakain, dahil marami sa kanila ang sumusunod kay Jesus. 16 May mga Pariseong tagapagturo ng Kautusan na naroon. Nang makita nilang kumakain si Jesus kasama ng mga maniningil ng buwis at ng iba pang mga itinuturing nilang makasalanan, sinabi nila sa mga tagasunod niya, “Bakit kumakain siyang kasama ng mga taong iyan?” 17 Narinig iyon ni Jesus, kaya sinagot niya ang mga ito, “Ang mga taong walang sakit ay hindi nangangailangan ng doktor, kundi ang mga may sakit. Naparito ako hindi upang tawagin ang mga taong matuwid sa kanilang sariling paningin, kundi ang mga makasalanan.”
Ang Tanong tungkol sa Pag-aayuno(C)
18 Nang minsang nag-aayuno ang mga tagasunod ni Juan na tagapagbautismo at ang mga Pariseo, lumapit ang ilang mga tao kay Jesus at nagtanong, “Bakit po nag-aayuno ang mga tagasunod ni Juan at ang mga Pariseo pero ang mga tagasunod nʼyo ay hindi?” 19 Sumagot si Jesus, “Maaari bang hindi kumain ang mga panauhin sa kasalan habang kasama pa nila ang lalaking ikakasal? Siyempre, hindi! 20 Ngunit darating ang araw na kukunin sa kanila ang lalaking ikakasal, at saka sila mag-aayuno.”
21 Sinabi pa ni Jesus, “Walang nagtatagpi ng bagong tela sa lumang damit, dahil uurong[a] ang bagong tela kapag nilabhan at lalo pang lalaki ang punit. 22 Wala ring naglalagay ng bagong alak sa lumang sisidlang-balat, dahil puputok ang sisidlan at matatapon ang alak, at pareho itong hindi na mapapakinabangan. Sa halip, inilalagay ang bagong alak sa bagong sisidlang-balat.”[b]
Ang Tanong tungkol sa Araw ng Pamamahinga(D)
23 Isang Araw ng Pamamahinga, habang dumadaan sina Jesus sa triguhan, nagsimulang mamitas ng trigo ang mga tagasunod niya. 24 Kaya sinabi sa kanya ng mga Pariseo, “Tingnan mo ang mga tagasunod mo! Bakit nila ginagawa ang ipinagbabawal sa Araw ng Pamamahinga?” 25 Sinagot sila ni Jesus, “Hindi nʼyo ba nabasa sa Kasulatan ang ginawa ni David at ng mga kasama niya nang magutom sila at walang makain? 26 Pumasok si David sa bahay ng Dios noong si Abiatar ang punong pari. Kinain ni David ang tinapay na inihandog sa Dios, at binigyan pa niya ang mga kasamahan niya, kahit na ayon sa Kautusan, ang mga pari lang ang may karapatang kumain nito.” 27 At sinabi pa ni Jesus sa kanila, “Ginawa ang Araw ng Pamamahinga para sa ikabubuti ng tao. Hindi ginawa ang tao para sa ikabubuti ng Araw ng Pamamahinga. 28 Kaya ako na Anak ng Tao ang makapagsasabi kung ano ang nararapat gawin sa Araw ng Pamamahinga.”
