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 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.”
Mark 2
English Standard Version
Jesus Heals a Paralytic
2 And when he returned to (A)Capernaum after some days, it was reported that he was at home. 2 And many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even at the door. And he was preaching the word to them. 3 (B)And they came, bringing to him a paralytic carried by four men. 4 And when they could not get near him because of the crowd, (C)they removed the roof above him, and when they had made an opening, they let down the bed on which the paralytic lay. 5 And when Jesus (D)saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Son, (E)your sins are forgiven.” 6 Now some of the scribes were sitting there, questioning in their hearts, 7 “Why does this man speak like that? (F)He is blaspheming! (G)Who can forgive sins but God alone?” 8 And immediately Jesus, (H)perceiving in his spirit that they thus questioned within themselves, said to them, “Why do you question these things in your hearts? 9 Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Rise, take up your bed and walk’? 10 But that you may know that (I)the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he said to the paralytic— 11 “I say to you, rise, pick up your bed, and go home.” 12 And he rose and immediately picked up his bed and went out before them all, so that they were all amazed and (J)glorified God, saying, “We never saw anything like this!”
Jesus Calls Levi
13 He went out again beside the sea, and (K)all the crowd was coming to him, and he was teaching them. 14 (L)And as he passed by, he saw (M)Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax booth, and he said to him, “Follow me.” And he rose and followed him.
15 And as he reclined at table in his house, many (N)tax collectors and sinners were reclining with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many who followed him. 16 And (O)the scribes of[a] the Pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with sinners and tax collectors, said to his disciples, (P)“Why does he eat[b] with tax collectors and sinners?” 17 And when Jesus heard it, he said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. (Q)I came not to call the righteous, (R)but sinners.”
A Question About Fasting
18 Now (S)John's disciples and the Pharisees were fasting. And people came and said to him, (T)“Why do John's disciples and (U)the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?” 19 And Jesus said to them, (V)“Can the wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast. 20 (W)The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and (X)then they will fast in that day. 21 No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. If he does, the patch tears away from it, the new from the old, and a worse tear is made. 22 And no one puts new wine into old (Y)wineskins. If he does, the wine will burst the skins—and the wine is destroyed, and so are the skins. But new wine is for fresh wineskins.”[c]
Jesus Is Lord of the Sabbath
23 (Z)One Sabbath he was going through the grainfields, and as they made their way, his disciples (AA)began to pluck heads of grain. 24 And the Pharisees were saying to him, “Look, (AB)why are they doing (AC)what is not lawful on the Sabbath?” 25 And he said to them, (AD)“Have you never read (AE)what David did, when he was in need and was hungry, he and those who were with him: 26 how he entered the house of God, in the time of[d] (AF)Abiathar the high priest, and ate (AG)the bread of the Presence, which it is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and also gave it to those who were with him?” 27 And he said to them, (AH)“The Sabbath was made for man, (AI)not man for the Sabbath. 28 So (AJ)the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath.”
