Hoffnung für Alle
Jesus hat die Macht, Sünden zu vergeben (Matthäus 9,1‒8; Lukas 5,17‒26)
2 Nach einigen Tagen kehrte Jesus nach Kapernaum zurück. Es sprach sich schnell herum, dass er wieder zu Hause[a] war. 2 Viele Menschen strömten zusammen, so dass nicht einmal mehr draußen vor der Tür Platz war. Ihnen allen verkündete Jesus Gottes Botschaft.
3 Da kamen vier Männer, die einen Gelähmten trugen. 4 Weil sie wegen der vielen Menschen nicht bis zu Jesus kommen konnten, deckten sie über ihm das Dach ab. Durch diese Öffnung ließen sie den Gelähmten auf seiner Trage hinunter.
5 Als Jesus ihren festen Glauben sah, sagte er zu dem Gelähmten: »Mein Sohn, deine Sünden sind dir vergeben!«
6 Aber einige der anwesenden Schriftgelehrten dachten: 7 »Was bildet der sich ein? Das ist Gotteslästerung! Nur Gott allein kann Sünden vergeben.« 8 Jesus erkannte sofort, was in ihnen vorging, und fragte: »Wie könnt ihr nur so etwas denken! 9 Ist es denn leichter, zu diesem Gelähmten zu sagen: ›Dir sind deine Sünden vergeben‹, oder ihn zu heilen[b]? 10 Aber ich will euch beweisen, dass der Menschensohn die Vollmacht hat, hier auf der Erde Sünden zu vergeben.« Und er forderte den Gelähmten auf: 11 »Steh auf, nimm deine Trage und geh nach Hause!«
12 Da stand der Mann auf, nahm seine Trage und ging vor aller Augen hinaus. Die Leute waren fassungslos. Sie lobten Gott und riefen: »So etwas haben wir noch nie erlebt!«
Der Zolleinnehmer Levi (Matthäus 9,9‒13; Lukas 5,27‒32)
13 Jesus ging wieder an das Ufer des Sees Genezareth. Dort kamen die Menschen in Scharen zu ihm, und er lehrte sie. 14 Als er weiterging, sah er Levi, den Sohn von Alphäus, am Zoll sitzen. Jesus forderte ihn auf: »Komm, folge mir nach!« Sofort stand Levi auf und ging mit ihm.
15 Später war Jesus mit seinen Jüngern bei Levi zu Gast. Levi hatte auch viele Zolleinnehmer und andere Leute mit schlechtem Ruf zum Essen eingeladen. Viele von ihnen hatten sich Jesus angeschlossen. 16 Als aber einige Schriftgelehrte, die zur Partei der Pharisäer gehörten, Jesus in dieser Gesellschaft essen sahen, fragten sie seine Jünger: »Wie kann sich Jesus bloß mit solchen Sündern und Betrügern abgeben?« 17 Jesus hörte das und antwortete: »Die Gesunden brauchen keinen Arzt, sondern die Kranken. Ich bin gekommen, um Sünder in die Gemeinschaft mit Gott zu rufen, und nicht solche, die sich sowieso für gut genug halten.[c]«
Neue Formen für das neue Leben (Matthäus 9,14‒17; Lukas 5,33‒39)
18 Die Jünger von Johannes und die Pharisäer fasteten regelmäßig. Deshalb kamen einige Leute zu Jesus und fragten: »Warum fasten deine Jünger eigentlich nicht wie die Jünger von Johannes und den Pharisäern?«
19 Jesus antwortete ihnen: »Sollen die Hochzeitsgäste etwa fasten, solange der Bräutigam noch bei ihnen ist? Nein, sie werden feiern, solange er da ist! 20 Die Zeit kommt früh genug, dass der Bräutigam ihnen genommen wird. Dann werden sie fasten.
21 Niemand flickt ein altes Kleid mit einem neuen Stück Stoff. Der alte Stoff würde sonst an der Flickstelle doch wieder reißen, und das Loch würde nur noch größer. 22 Ebenso füllt niemand jungen, gärenden Wein in alte, brüchige Schläuche. Sonst bringt er sie zum Platzen. Dann läuft der Wein aus, und die Schläuche sind unbrauchbar. Nein, jungen Wein füllt man in neue Schläuche!«
Erste Auseinandersetzungen mit den Schriftgelehrten und Pharisäern (Kapitel 2,23–3,35)
Der Ruhetag ist für den Menschen da (Matthäus 12,1‒8; Lukas 6,1‒5)
23 An einem Sabbat ging Jesus mit seinen Jüngern durch die Getreidefelder. Unterwegs fingen die Jünger an, Ähren abzureißen und die Körner zu essen. 24 Da beschwerten sich die Pharisäer bei Jesus: »Sieh dir das an! Was sie tun, ist am Sabbat doch gar nicht erlaubt!«
25 Aber Jesus antwortete ihnen: »Habt ihr denn nie gelesen, was König David tat, als er und seine Männer in Not geraten waren und Hunger hatten? 26 Damals – zur Zeit des Hohenpriesters Abjatar – ging er in das Haus Gottes. Er aß mit seinen Männern von dem Brot, das Gott geweiht war und das nur die Priester essen durften.[d]«
27 Und Jesus fügte hinzu: »Der Sabbat wurde doch für den Menschen geschaffen und nicht der Mensch für den Sabbat. 28 Deshalb ist der Menschensohn auch Herr über den Sabbat und kann somit entscheiden, was am Sabbat erlaubt ist.«

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 International Version
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.”
