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.”
Mark 2
King James Version
2 And again he entered into Capernaum after some days; and it was noised that he was in the house.
2 And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word unto them.
3 And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four.
4 And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.
5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.
6 But there was certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
7 Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?
8 And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?
9 Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?
10 But that ye 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 unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house.
12 And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.
13 And he went forth again by the sea side; and all the multitude resorted unto him, and he taught them.
14 And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the receipt of custom, and said unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him.
15 And it came to pass, that, as Jesus sat at meat in his house, many publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him.
16 And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?
17 When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
18 And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees used to fast: and they come and say unto him, Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not?
19 And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber 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 shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.
21 No man also seweth a piece of new cloth on an old garment: else the new piece that filled it up taketh away from the old, and the rent is made worse.
22 And no man putteth new wine into old bottles: else the new wine doth burst the bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles will be marred: but new wine must be put into new bottles.
23 And it came to pass, that he went through the corn fields on the sabbath day; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of corn.
24 And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful?
25 And he said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was an hungred, he, and they that were with him?
26 How he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and did eat the shewbread, which is not lawful to eat but for the priests, and gave also to them which were with him?
27 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:
28 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
Marcos 2

Jesús sana a un paralítico
2 Días más tarde, Jesús regresó a Capernaúm. La noticia de que estaba en casa se esparció rápidamente. 2 Y pronto la gente llenó tanto la casa que no quedó sitio para nadie más ni siquiera frente a la puerta. Y él predicaba la palabra.
3 Entonces llegaron cuatro hombres llevando a un paralítico. 4 Como no pudieron pasar entre la multitud para llegar a Jesús, subieron a la azotea, hicieron una abertura en el techo, exactamente encima de donde estaba Jesús, y entre los cuatro bajaron la camilla en la que yacía el paralítico.
5 Cuando Jesús vio la fe de ellos, le dijo al paralítico:
―Hijo, tus pecados quedan perdonados.
6 Algunos maestros de la ley que estaban allí sentados pensaron: 7 «¿Cómo se atreve a hablar así? ¡Eso es una blasfemia! ¡Dios es el único que puede perdonar los pecados!».
8 Jesús les leyó el pensamiento y les dijo:
―¿Por qué piensan ustedes así? 9 ¿Qué es más fácil, decirle al paralítico “tus pecados quedan perdonados” o decirle: “Levántate, toma tu camilla y anda”? 10 Pues voy a probarles que yo, el Hijo del hombre, tengo potestad para perdonar los pecados.
Entonces se dirigió al paralítico y le dijo:
11 ―A ti te digo, levántate, recoge la camilla y vete.
12 El hombre se levantó de inmediato, tomó su camilla y se abrió paso entre la asombrada concurrencia que, entre alabanzas a Dios, exclamaba:
―Jamás habíamos visto nada parecido.
Llamamiento de Leví
13 Jesús salió de nuevo a la orilla del lago y allí le enseñaba al gentío que acudía a él.
14 Caminando por el lugar, vio a Leví, hijo de Alfeo, sentado en la mesa donde cobraba los impuestos.
―Sígueme —le dijo Jesús.
Y Leví se levantó y lo siguió.
15 Leví invitó a Jesús y a sus discípulos a comer. También invitó a comer a muchos cobradores de impuestos y a otros pecadores. Ya eran muchos los que seguían a Jesús.
16 Cuando algunos de los maestros de la ley, que eran fariseos, vieron a Jesús comiendo con aquella gente, les preguntaron a los discípulos:
―¿Cómo es que este come con recaudadores de impuestos y con pecadores?
17 Jesús, que oyó lo que decían, les replicó:
―Los enfermos son los que necesitan médico, no los sanos. No he venido a llamar a los justos sino a los pecadores.
Le preguntan a Jesús sobre el ayuno
18 Al ver que los discípulos de Juan y los de los fariseos ayunaban, algunos se acercaron a Jesús y le preguntaron:
―¿Por qué tus discípulos no ayunan también?
19 Jesús les respondió:
―¿Se abstendrán acaso de comer en un banquete de bodas los amigos del novio mientras el novio esté con ellos? 20 Llegará el momento cuando el novio les será quitado, y entonces ayunarán. 21 Nadie remienda un vestido viejo con una tela nueva, porque el parche se encoge y rompe el vestido, y la rotura que queda es mayor que la anterior. 22 ¿Y a quién se le ocurriría poner vino nuevo en odres viejos? El vino nuevo reventaría los odres y se perderían el vino y los odres. El vino nuevo se echa en odres nuevos.
Señor del sábado
23 Un día de reposo, pasaron por los trigales Jesús y sus discípulos, y estos se pusieron a arrancar espigas. 24 Los fariseos le preguntaron a Jesús:
―¿Por qué hacen ellos lo que está prohibido hacer en el día de reposo?
25 Jesús les respondió:
―¿Nunca han leído lo que hizo David una vez que él y sus compañeros tuvieron hambre? 26 Cuando Abiatar era el sumo sacerdote, David entró en la casa de Dios y comió de los panes consagrados a Dios, que sólo los sacerdotes podían comer. Y no sólo comió él, sino que también dio a sus compañeros.
27 »El sábado se hizo para el ser humano y no el ser humano para el sábado. 28 Por eso, el Hijo del hombre es Señor incluso del sábado.
