Jesus Heals a Paralytic
2 And when He had come back to Capernaum several days afterward, it was heard that He was at home. 2 And (A)many were gathered together, so that there was no longer room, not even near the door; and He was speaking the word to them. 3 (B)And they *came, bringing to Him a (C)paralytic, carried by four men. 4 And being unable to bring him to [a]Jesus because of the crowd, they (D)removed the roof over where He was; and when they had dug an opening, they let down the mat where the (E)paralytic was lying. 5 And Jesus seeing their faith *said to the paralytic, “Child, (F)your sins are forgiven.” 6 But some of the scribes were sitting there and reasoning in their hearts, 7 “Why does this man speak that way? He is blaspheming; (G)who can forgive sins [b]but God alone?” 8 Immediately Jesus, aware [c]in His spirit that they were reasoning that way within themselves, *said to them, “Why are you reasoning about these things in your hearts? 9 Which is easier, to say to the (H)paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven’; or to say, ‘Get up, and pick up your mat and walk’? 10 But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—He *said to the paralytic, 11 “I say to you, get up, pick up your mat, and go to your home.” 12 And he got up and immediately picked up the mat and went out before everyone, so that they were all amazed and (I)were glorifying God, saying, “(J)We have never seen anything like this.”
13 And He went out again by the seashore; and (K)the entire crowd was coming to Him, and He was teaching them.
Levi and Sinners Called
14 (L)And as He passed by, He saw [d](M)Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting in the tax office, and He *said to him, “(N)Follow Me!” And he stood up and followed Him.
15 And it *[e]happened that as He was reclining at the table in his house, many tax collectors and [f]sinners [g]were reclining with Jesus and His disciples. For there were many of them, and they were following Him. 16 And when (O)the scribes of the Pharisees saw that He was eating with the sinners and tax collectors, they were saying to His disciples, “(P)He is eating and drinking with tax collectors and [h]sinners!” 17 And hearing this, Jesus *said to them, “(Q)Those who are healthy do not have need for a physician, but only those who are sick; I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
18 (R)And John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting; and they *came and *said to Him, “Why do John’s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but Your disciples do not fast?” 19 And Jesus said to them, “Can [i]the attendants of the bridegroom fast when the bridegroom is with them? So long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast. 20 But the (S)days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast in that day.
21 “No one sews [j]a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; otherwise [k]that patch pulls away from it, the new from the old, and a worse tear results. 22 And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the wine will burst the skins, and the wine is lost and the skins as well; but one puts new wine into fresh wineskins.”
Lord of the Sabbath
23 (T)And it happened that He was passing through the grainfields on the Sabbath, and His disciples began to make their way along while (U)picking the heads of grain. 24 And the Pharisees were saying to Him, “Look, (V)why are they doing what is not lawful on the Sabbath?” 25 And He *said to them, “Have you never read what David did when he was in need and he and his companions became hungry; 26 how he entered the house of God around the time of (W)Abiathar the high priest, and ate the [l]consecrated bread, which (X)is not lawful for anyone to eat except the priests, and he also gave it to those who were with him?” 27 And Jesus was saying to them, “(Y)The Sabbath [m]was made [n]for man, and (Z)not man [o]for the Sabbath. 28 Consequently the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”

Guarigione di un paralitico
2 Ed entrò di nuovo a Cafarnao dopo alcuni giorni. Si seppe che era in casa 2 e si radunarono tante persone, da non esserci più posto neanche davanti alla porta, ed egli annunziava loro la parola.
3 Si recarono da lui con un paralitico portato da quattro persone. 4 Non potendo però portarglielo innanzi, a causa della folla, scoperchiarono il tetto nel punto dov'egli si trovava e, fatta un'apertura, calarono il lettuccio su cui giaceva il paralitico. 5 Gesù, vista la loro fede, disse al paralitico: «Figliolo, ti sono rimessi i tuoi peccati».
6 Seduti là erano alcuni scribi che pensavano in cuor loro: 7 «Perché costui parla così? Bestemmia! Chi può rimettere i peccati se non Dio solo?».
8 Ma Gesù, avendo subito conosciuto nel suo spirito che così pensavano tra sé, disse loro: «Perché pensate così nei vostri cuori? 9 Che cosa è più facile: dire al paralitico: Ti sono rimessi i peccati, o dire: Alzati, prendi il tuo lettuccio e cammina? 10 Ora, perché sappiate che il Figlio dell'uomo ha il potere sulla terra di rimettere i peccati, 11 ti ordino - disse al paralitico - alzati, prendi il tuo lettuccio e và a casa tua». 12 Quegli si alzò, prese il suo lettuccio e se ne andò in presenza di tutti e tutti si meravigliarono e lodavano Dio dicendo: «Non abbiamo mai visto nulla di simile!».
Chiamata di Levi
13 Uscì di nuovo lungo il mare; tutta la folla veniva a lui ed egli li ammaestrava. 14 Nel passare, vide Levi, il figlio di Alfeo, seduto al banco delle imposte, e gli disse: «Seguimi».
Egli, alzatosi, lo seguì.
Pasto con i peccatori
15 Mentre Gesù stava a mensa in casa di lui, molti pubblicani e peccatori si misero a mensa insieme con Gesù e i suoi discepoli; erano molti infatti quelli che lo seguivano. 16 Allora gli scribi della setta dei farisei, vedendolo mangiare con i peccatori e i pubblicani, dicevano ai suoi discepoli: «Come mai egli mangia e beve in compagnia dei pubblicani e dei peccatori?». 17 Avendo udito questo, Gesù disse loro: «Non sono i sani che hanno bisogno del medico, ma i malati; non sono venuto per chiamare i giusti, ma i peccatori».
Discussione sul digiuno
18 Ora i discepoli di Giovanni e i farisei stavano facendo un digiuno. Si recarono allora da Gesù e gli dissero: «Perché i discepoli di Giovanni e i discepoli dei farisei digiunano, mentre i tuoi discepoli non digiunano?». 19 Gesù disse loro: «Possono forse digiunare gli invitati a nozze quando lo sposo è con loro? Finché hanno lo sposo con loro, non possono digiunare. 20 Ma verranno i giorni in cui sarà loro tolto lo sposo e allora digiuneranno. 21 Nessuno cuce una toppa di panno grezzo su un vestito vecchio; altrimenti il rattoppo nuovo squarcia il vecchio e si forma uno strappo peggiore. 22 E nessuno versa vino nuovo in otri vecchi, altrimenti il vino spaccherà gli otri e si perdono vino e otri, ma vino nuovo in otri nuovi».
Le spighe strappate
23 In giorno di sabato Gesù passava per i campi di grano, e i discepoli, camminando, cominciarono a strappare le spighe. 24 I farisei gli dissero: «Vedi, perché essi fanno di sabato quel che non è permesso?». 25 Ma egli rispose loro: «Non avete mai letto che cosa fece Davide quando si trovò nel bisogno ed ebbe fame, lui e i suoi compagni? 26 Come entrò nella casa di Dio, sotto il sommo sacerdote Abiatàr, e mangiò i pani dell'offerta, che soltanto ai sacerdoti è lecito mangiare, e ne diede anche ai suoi compagni?». 27 E diceva loro: «Il sabato è stato fatto per l'uomo e non l'uomo per il sabato! 28 Perciò il Figlio dell'uomo è signore anche del sabato».

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.”
