Mark 2
Complete Jewish Bible
2 After a while, Yeshua returned to K’far-Nachum. The word spread that he was back, 2 and so many people gathered around the house that there was no longer any room, not even in front of the door. While he was preaching the message to them, 3 four men came to him carrying a paralyzed man. 4 They could not get near Yeshua because of the crowd, so they stripped the roof over the place where he was, made an opening, and lowered the stretcher with the paralytic lying on it. 5 Seeing their trust, Yeshua said to the paralyzed man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” 6 Some Torah-teachers sitting there thought to themselves, 7 “How can this fellow say such a thing? He is blaspheming! Who can forgive sins except God?” 8 But immediately Yeshua, perceiving in his spirit what they were thinking, said to them, “Why are you thinking these things? 9 Which is easier to say to the paralyzed man? ‘Your sins are forgiven’? or ‘Get up, pick up your stretcher and walk’? 10 But look! I will prove to you that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.” He then said to the paralytic, 11 “I say to you: get up, pick up your stretcher and go home!” 12 In front of everyone the man got up, picked up his stretcher at once and left. They were all utterly amazed and praised God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this!”
13 Yeshua went out again by the lake. All the crowd came to him, and he began teaching them. 14 As he passed on from there, he saw Levi Ben-Halfai sitting in his tax-collection booth and said to him, “Follow me!” And he got up and followed him.
15 As Yeshua was in Levi’s house eating, many tax-collectors and sinners were sitting with Yeshua and his talmidim, for there were many of them among his followers. 16 When the Torah-teachers and the P’rushim saw that he was eating with sinners and tax-collectors, they said to his talmidim, “Why does he eat with tax-collectors and sinners?” 17 But, hearing the question, Yeshua answered them, “The ones who need a doctor aren’t the healthy but the sick. I didn’t come to call the ‘righteous’ but sinners!”
18 Also Yochanan’s talmidim and the P’rushim were fasting; and they came and asked Yeshua, “Why is it that Yochanan’s talmidim and the talmidim of the P’rushim fast, but your talmidim don’t fast?” 19 Yeshua answered them, “Can wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is still with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, fasting is out of the question. 20 But the time will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them; and when that day comes, they will fast. 21 No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old coat; if he does, the new patch tears away from the old cloth and leaves a worse hole. 22 And no one puts new wine in old wineskins; if he does, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the skins will be ruined. Rather, new wine is for freshly prepared wineskins.”
23 One Shabbat Yeshua was passing through some wheat fields; and as they went along, his talmidim began picking heads of grain. 24 The P’rushim said to him, “Look! Why are they violating Shabbat?” 25 He said to them, “Haven’t you ever read what David did when he and those with him were hungry and needed food? 26 He entered the House of God when Evyatar was cohen gadol and ate the Bread of the Presence,” — which is forbidden for anyone to eat but the cohanim — “and even gave some to his companions.” 27 Then he said to them, “Shabbat was made for mankind, not mankind for Shabbat; 28 So the Son of Man is Lord even of Shabbat.”
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.”
Markus 2

Jesus botar en förlamad man
(Matt 9:2-8; Luk 5:18-26)
2 Några dagar senare kom Jesus tillbaka till Kafarnaum igen, och nyheten om att han kommit hem spred sig snabbt. 2 Då samlades där så mycket folk att de inte ens fick plats utanför dörren. Och han förkunnade ordet för dem.
3 Då kom fyra män till honom bärande på en förlamad man. 4 Men när de inte kunde tränga sig igenom folkmassan och komma fram till Jesus gjorde de hål i taket ovanför honom. Genom öppningen firade de sedan ner bädden med den förlamade. 5 När Jesus såg deras tro, sa han till den förlamade: ”Min son, dina synder är förlåtna.”
6 Men några skriftlärda satt där, och de tänkte i sina hjärtan: 7 ”Hur kan han tala på det viset och häda? Vem utom Gud kan förlåta synder?”
8 Men Jesus förstod i sin ande vad de tänkte, och frågade dem: ”Varför tänker ni sådana tankar i era hjärtan? 9 Vilket är lättare, att säga till den förlamade: ’Dina synder är förlåtna’, eller att säga: ’Res dig upp, ta din bädd och gå?’ ” 10 ”Men för att ni ska veta att Människosonen har makt att förlåta synder här på jorden,” – nu talade han till den förlamade: 11 ”säger jag till dig: Res dig upp, ta din bår och gå hem!”
12 Då steg mannen upp, tog sin bädd och gick ut, mitt framför ögonen på de förbluffade människorna. Och man hyllade Gud och sa: ”Aldrig förr har vi sett något sådant!”
Jesus kallar en tullindrivare att följa honom
(Matt 9:9-13; Luk 5:27-32)
13 Sedan gick Jesus längs Galileiska sjön igen, och stora folkmassor kom till honom, och han undervisade dem. 14 När han gick där fick han se Levi, Alfaios son, sitta vid tullhuset. ”Kom och följ mig”, sa Jesus till honom. Och Levi reste sig och följde Jesus.
15 När Jesus senare åt i hans hus, fanns där många tullindrivare och syndare som åt tillsammans med honom och hans lärjungar, för många av dem hade också börjat följa Jesus.
16 Då de skriftlärda bland fariseerna[a] såg Jesus i detta sällskap, sa de till hans lärjungar: ”Äter han verkligen med tullindrivare och syndare?” 17 Men Jesus hörde det och sa till dem: ”Det är inte de friska som behöver läkare, utan de sjuka. Jag har inte kommit för att kalla rättfärdiga utan syndare.”
Jesus svarar på en fråga om fasta
(Matt 9:14-17; Luk 5:33-39)
18 Johannes döparens lärjungar och fariseerna fastade. Då kom några och frågade Jesus: ”Varför fastar inte dina lärjungar som Johannes lärjungar och fariseerna gör?”
19 Jesus svarade: ”Bröllopsgästerna kan väl inte fasta medan brudgummen är hos dem? Nej, så länge brudgummen är tillsammans med dem kan de inte fasta. 20 Men en dag ska han tas ifrån dem, och då kommer de att fasta. 21 Ingen lagar ett gammalt klädesplagg med ett stycke nytt, okrympt tyg, för då krymper det nya tyget och river sönder plagget, så att hålet blir ännu större. 22 Och ingen häller nytt vin i gamla vinsäckar, för när vinet jäser sprängs säckarna, och allt blir förstört, både vinet och säckarna. Nej, nytt vin häller man i nya säckar.”
Jesus lärjungar plockar ax på sabbaten
(Matt 12:1-8; Luk 6:1-5)
23 En gång när det var sabbat gick Jesus och hans lärjungar genom några sädesfält, och medan de gick ryckte hans lärjungar av ax.
24 Fariseerna sa då till Jesus: ”Varför gör de så där? Det där är ju inte tillåtet på sabbaten.”
25 Men Jesus svarade dem: ”Har ni aldrig läst vad David gjorde när han och hans män blev hungriga och inte hade något att äta?[b] 26 Han gick in i Guds hus – då var Evjatar överstepräst – och åt av skådebröden som bara prästerna får äta och delade med sig till de andra.” 27 Sedan sa Jesus till dem: ”Sabbaten blev till för människans skull, och inte människan för sabbatens skull. 28 Därför är Människosonen också Herre över sabbaten.”
