Mark 2
Christian Standard Bible Anglicised
The Son of Man Forgives and Heals
2 When(A) he entered Capernaum(B) again after some days, it was reported that he was at home. 2 So many people gathered together that there was no more room, not even in the doorway, and he was speaking the word(C) to them. 3 They came to him bringing a paralytic,(D) carried by four of them. 4 Since they were not able to bring him to[a] Jesus because of the crowd, they removed the roof above him, and after digging through it, they lowered the mat on which the paralytic was lying. 5 Seeing their faith,(E) Jesus told the paralytic, ‘Son, your sins(F) are forgiven.’(G)
6 But some of the scribes(H) were sitting there, questioning(I) in their hearts: 7 ‘Why does he speak like this? He’s blaspheming!(J) Who can forgive(K) sins(L) but God alone? ’(M)
8 Straight away(N) Jesus perceived in his spirit(O) that they were thinking like this within themselves and said to them, ‘Why are you thinking these things in your hearts? 9 Which is easier:(P) to say to the paralytic,(Q) “Your sins are forgiven,” or to say, “Get up, take your mat, and walk”?(R) 10 But so that you may know that the Son of Man(S) has authority(T) on earth to forgive sins’(U) – he told the paralytic – 11 ‘I tell you: get up,(V) take your mat, and go home.’
12 Immediately he got up, took the mat, and went out in front of everyone. As a result, they were all astounded(W) and gave glory(X) to God,(Y) saying, ‘We have never seen anything like this! ’(Z)
The Call of Levi
13 Jesus(AA) went out again beside the sea. The whole crowd was coming to him, and he was teaching(AB) them. 14 Then, passing by, he saw Levi(AC) the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax office,(AD) and he said to him, ‘Follow me,’(AE) and he got up and followed(AF) him.
15 While he was reclining at the table in Levi’s house, many tax collectors(AG) and sinners(AH) were eating[b] with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many who were following him. 16 When the scribes(AI) who were Pharisees[c](AJ) saw that he was eating(AK) with sinners(AL) and tax collectors,(AM) they asked his disciples, ‘Why does he eat[d] with tax collectors and sinners? ’
17 When Jesus heard this, he told them, ‘It is not those who are well who need(AN) a doctor,(AO) but those who are ill.(AP) I didn’t come to call the righteous,(AQ) but sinners.’(AR)
A Question about Fasting
18 Now(AS) John’s(AT) disciples(AU) and the Pharisees[e](AV) were fasting.(AW) People came and asked him, ‘Why do John’s disciples and the Pharisees’ disciples fast, but your disciples do not fast? ’
19 Jesus said to them, ‘The wedding guests cannot fast while the groom(AX) is with them, can they? As long as they have the groom with them, they cannot fast. 20 But the time[f] will come(AY) when the groom will be taken away from them,(AZ) and then they will fast(BA) on that day. 21 No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. Otherwise, the new patch pulls away from the old cloth,(BB) and a worse tear is made. 22 And no one puts new wine(BC) into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wine will burst(BD) the skins, and the wine is lost as well as the skins. No, new wine is put into fresh wineskins.’
Lord of the Sabbath
23 On(BE) the Sabbath he was going through the cornfields, and his disciples(BF) began to make their way, picking some ears of corn. 24 The Pharisees(BG) said to him, ‘Look, why are they doing what is not lawful(BH) on the Sabbath? ’
25 He said to them, ‘Have you never read what David(BI) and those who were with him did when he was in need(BJ) and hungry(BK) #– # 26 how he entered the house of God in the time of Abiathar(BL) the high priest(BM) and ate the bread of the Presence(BN) #– #which is not lawful for anyone to eat except the priests(BO) #– #and also gave some to his companions? ’ 27 Then he told them, ‘The Sabbath was made for[g] man and not man for the Sabbath.(BP) 28 So then, the Son of Man(BQ) is Lord(BR) even of the Sabbath.’(BS)
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
Reina Valera Revisada
Jesucristo sana a un paralítico
2 Entró Jesús otra vez en Capernaúm después de algunos días; y corrió la voz de que estaba en casa.
2 Y se reunieron muchos, tanto que ya no quedaba sitio ni aun delante de la puerta; y les hablaba la palabra.
3 En esto, llegan unos hombres trayéndole un paralítico, llevado por cuatro de ellos.
4 Y como no podían acercarse a él a causa de la multitud, abrieron un boquete en el techo encima de donde él estaba, y por la abertura hecha, bajaron la camilla en que yacía el paralítico.
5 Al ver Jesús la fe de ellos, dijo al paralítico: Hijo, tus pecados te son perdonados.
6 Estaban allí sentados algunos de los escribas, los cuales razonaban en sus corazones:
7 ¿Por qué habla éste así? Está blasfemando. ¿Quién puede perdonar pecados, sino sólo Dios?
8 Y al instante Jesús, conociendo en su espíritu que razonaban de esta manera dentro de sí mismos, les dijo: ¿Por qué pensáis esas cosas en vuestros corazones?
9 ¿Qué es más fácil, decirle al paralítico: Tus pecados te 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 (dijo al paralítico):
11 A ti te digo: Levántate, toma tu camilla, y vete a tu casa.
12 Entonces él se levantó, y tomando en seguida su camilla, salió a la vista de todos, de manera que todos se asombraron, y glorificaban a Dios, diciendo: Nunca hemos visto nada como esto.
Llamamiento de Leví
13 Él salió de nuevo a la orilla del mar; y toda la multitud venía a él, y él comenzó a enseñarles.
14 Y al pasar, vio a Leví, el hijo de Alfeo, sentado a la mesa de impuestos, y le dijo: Sígueme. Y él se levantó y le siguió.
15 Y sucedió que estando sentado a la mesa en casa de él, muchos cobradores de impuestos y pecadores notorios estaban también sentados a la mesa juntamente con Jesús y sus discípulos; porque había muchos, y le seguían.
16 Cuando los escribas del partido de los fariseos vieron que comía con los pecadores y cobradores de impuestos, comenzaron a decir a sus discípulos: ¿Qué es esto, que él come [y bebe][a] con los cobradores de impuestos y pecadores?
17 Al oír esto Jesús, les dijo: Los sanos no tienen necesidad de médico, sino los enfermos. No he venido a llamar a justos, sino a pecadores.
La pregunta sobre el ayuno
18 Y los discípulos de Juan y los de los fariseos estaban ayunando; y vinieron y le dijeron: ¿Por qué ayunan los discípulos de Juan y los de los fariseos, pero tus discípulos no ayunan?
19 Jesús les dijo: ¿Acaso pueden ayunar los invitados a la boda mientras está con ellos el novio? Durante todo el tiempo que tienen con ellos al novio, no pueden ayunar.
20 Pero vendrán días cuando el novio les será quitado, y entonces ayunarán en aquel día.
21 Nadie pone un remiendo de paño sin estrenar en un vestido viejo; de otra manera, el remiendo tira del vestido, lo nuevo de lo viejo, y se produce un desgarrón peor.
22 Y nadie echa vino nuevo en odres viejos; de otra manera, el vino nuevo revienta los odres, y tanto el vino como los odres se echan a perder; sino que el vino nuevo se ha de echar en odres nuevos.
Los discípulos recogen espigas en día de sábado
23 Sucedió también que él pasaba por los sembrados en sábado, y sus discípulos comenzaron a abrirse camino arrancando las espigas.
24 Entonces los fariseos le decían: Mira, ¿por qué hacen en sábado lo que no es lícito?
25 Y él les dijo: ¿Nunca habéis leído lo que hizo David cuando tuvo necesidad, y sintió hambre, él y los que con él estaban;
26 cómo entró en la casa de Dios, en tiempos de Abiatar, sumo sacerdote, y se comió los panes de la proposición, que sólo a los sacerdotes les es lícito comer, y dio también a los que estaban con él?
27 Y les decía: El sábado fue instituido para el hombre, y no el hombre para el sábado.
28 Por tanto, el Hijo del Hombre es también señor del sábado.
