Mark 2
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
2 And again he entered into Capharnaum after some days.
2 And it was heard that he was in the house, and many came together, so that there was no room; no, not even at the door; and he spoke to them the word.
3 And they came to him, bringing one sick of the palsy, who was carried by four.
4 And when they could not offer him unto him for the multitude, they uncovered the roof where he was; and opening it, they let down the bed wherein the man sick of the palsy lay.
5 And when Jesus had seen their faith, he saith to the sick of the palsy: Son, thy sins are forgiven thee.
6 And there were some of the scribes sitting there, and thinking in their hearts:
7 Why doth this man speak thus? he blasphemeth. Who can forgive sins, but God only?
8 Which Jesus presently knowing in his spirit, that they so thought within themselves, saith to them: Why think you these things in your hearts?
9 Which is easier, to say to the sick of the palsy: Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say: Arise, take up thy bed, and walk?
10 But that you may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,)
11 I say to thee: Arise, take up thy bed, and go into thy house.
12 And immediately he arose; and taking up his bed, went his way in the sight of all; so that all wondered and glorified God, saying: We never saw the like.
13 And he went forth again to the sea side; and all the multitude came to him, and he taught them.
14 And when he was passing by, he saw Levi the son of Alpheus sitting at the receipt of custom; and he saith to him: Follow me. And rising up, he followed him.
15 And it came to pass, that as he sat at meat in his house, many publicans and sinners sat down together with Jesus and his disciples. For they were many, who also followed him.
16 And the scribes and the Pharisees, seeing that he ate with publicans and sinners, said to his disciples: Why doth your master eat and drink with publicans and sinners?
17 Jesus hearing this, saith to them: They that are well have no need of a physician, but they that are sick. For I came not to call the just, but sinners.
18 And the disciples of John and the Pharisees used to fast; and they come and say to him: Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast; but thy disciples do not fast?
19 And Jesus saith to them: Can the children of the marriage fast, as long as 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 they shall fast in those days.
21 No man seweth a piece of raw cloth to an old garment: otherwise the new piecing taketh away from the old, and there is made a greater rent.
22 And no man putteth new wine into old bottles: otherwise the wine will burst the bottles, and both the wine will be spilled, and the bottles will be lost. But new wine must be put into new bottles.
23 And it came to pass again, as the Lord walked through the corn fields on the sabbath, that his disciples began to go forward, and to pluck the ears of corn.
24 And the Pharisees said to him: Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful?
25 And he said to them: Have you never read what David did when he had need, and was hungry himself, and they that were with him?
26 How he went into the house of God, under Abiathar the high priest, and did eat the loaves of proposition, which was not lawful to eat but for the priests, and gave to them who were with him?
27 And he said to them: The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath.
28 Therefore the Son of man is Lord of the sabbath also.
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.”
Marcos 2
Nueva Versión Internacional (Castilian)
Jesús sana a un paralítico(A)
2 Unos días después, cuando Jesús entró de nuevo en Capernaún, corrió la voz de que estaba en casa. 2 Se aglomeraron tantos que ya no quedaba sitio ni siquiera frente a la puerta mientras él les predicaba la palabra. 3 Entonces llegaron cuatro hombres que le llevaban un paralítico. 4 Como no podían acercarlo a Jesús por causa de la multitud, quitaron parte del techo encima de donde estaba Jesús y, después de hacer una abertura, bajaron la camilla en la que estaba acostado el paralítico. 5 Al ver Jesús la fe de ellos, le dijo al paralítico:
―Hijo, tus pecados quedan perdonados.
6 Estaban sentados allí algunos maestros de la ley, que pensaban: 7 «¿Por qué habla este así? ¡Está blasfemando! ¿Quién puede perdonar pecados sino solo Dios?»
8 En ese mismo instante supo Jesús en su espíritu que esto era lo que estaban pensando.
―¿Por qué razonáis así? —les dijo—. 9 ¿Qué es más fácil, decirle al paralítico: “Tus pecados son perdonados”, o decirle: “Levántate, toma tu camilla y anda”? 10 Pues para que sepáis que el Hijo del hombre tiene autoridad en la tierra para perdonar pecados —se dirigió entonces al paralítico—: 11 A ti te digo, levántate, toma tu camilla y vete a tu casa.
12 Él se levantó, tomó su camilla en seguida y salió caminando a la vista de todos. Ellos se quedaron asombrados y comenzaron a alabar a Dios.
―Jamás habíamos visto cosa igual —decían.
Llamamiento de Leví(B)
13 De nuevo salió Jesús a la orilla del lago. Toda la gente acudía a él, y él les enseñaba. 14 Al pasar vio a Leví hijo de Alfeo, donde este cobraba impuestos.
―Sígueme —le dijo Jesús.
Y Leví se levantó y lo siguió.
15 Sucedió que, estando Jesús a la mesa en casa de Leví, muchos recaudadores de impuestos y pecadores se sentaron con él y sus discípulos, pues ya eran muchos los que lo seguían. 16 Cuando los maestros de la ley que eran fariseos vieron con quién comía, les preguntaron a sus discípulos:
―¿Y este come con recaudadores de impuestos y con pecadores?
17 Al oírlos, Jesús les contestó:
―No son los sanos los que necesitan médico, sino los enfermos. Y yo no he venido a llamar a justos, sino a pecadores.
Le preguntan a Jesús sobre el ayuno(C)
18 Al ver que los discípulos de Juan y los fariseos ayunaban, algunos se acercaron a Jesús y le preguntaron:
―¿Cómo es que los discípulos de Juan y de los fariseos ayunan, pero los tuyos, no?
19 Jesús les contestó:
―¿Acaso pueden ayunar los invitados del novio mientras él está con ellos? No pueden hacerlo mientras lo tienen con ellos. 20 Pero llegará el día en que se les quitará el novio, y ese día sí ayunarán. 21 Nadie remienda un vestido viejo con un retazo de tela nueva. De hacerlo así, el remiendo fruncirá el vestido y la rotura se hará peor. 22 Ni nadie echa vino nuevo en odres viejos. De hacerlo así, el vino hará reventar los odres y se echarán a perder tanto el vino como los odres. Más bien, el vino nuevo se echa en odres nuevos.
Señor del sábado(D)(E)
23 Un sábado, al cruzar Jesús los sembrados, sus discípulos comenzaron a arrancar a su paso unas espigas de trigo.
24 ―Mira —le preguntaron los fariseos—, ¿por qué hacen ellos lo que está prohibido hacer en sábado?
25 Él les contestó:
―¿Nunca habéis leído lo que hizo David en aquella ocasión, cuando él y sus compañeros tuvieron hambre y pasaron necesidad? 26 Entró en la casa de Dios cuando Abiatar era el sumo sacerdote, y comió los panes consagrados a Dios, que solo a los sacerdotes les es permitido comer. Y dio también a sus compañeros.
27 »El sábado se hizo para el hombre, y no el hombre para el sábado —añadió—. 28 Así que el Hijo del hombre es Señor incluso del sábado».
