Mark 2
WEB·Mark 2
1When he entered again into Capernaum after some days, it was heard that he was at home.
KJVAndG2532 againG3825 he enteredG1525(G5627) intoG1519 CapernaumG2584 afterG1223 some daysG2250; andG2532 it was noisedG191(G5681) thatG3754 he wasG2076(G5748) inG1519 the houseG3624.
2 Immediately many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even around the door; and he spoke the word to them.
KJVAndG2532 straightwayG2112 manyG4183 were gathered togetherG4863(G5681), insomuch thatG5620 there wasG5562 noG3371 room to receiveG5562(G5721) them, no, not so muchG3366 as aboutG4314 the doorG2374: andG2532 he preachedG2980(G5707) the wordG3056 unto themG846.
3 Four people came, carrying a paralytic to him.
KJVAndG2532 they comeG2064(G5736) untoG4314 himG846, bringingG5342(G5723) one sick of the palsyG3885, which was borneG142(G5746) ofG5259 fourG5064.
4 When they could not come near to him for the crowd, they removed the roof where he was. When they had broken it up, they let down the mat that the paralytic was lying on.
KJVAndG2532 when they couldG1410(G5740) notG3361 come nighG4331(G5658) unto himG846 forG1223 the pressG3793, they uncoveredG648(G5656) the roofG4721 whereG3699 he wasG2258(G5713): andG2532 when they had broken it upG1846(G5660), they let downG5465(G5719) the bedG2895 whereinG1909G3739 the sick of the palsyG3885 layG2621(G5711).
5 Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.”
KJVWhenG1161 JesusG2424 sawG1492(G5631) theirG846 faithG4102, he saidG3004(G5719) unto the sick of the palsyG3885, SonG5043, thyG4675 sinsG266 be forgivenG863(G5769) theeG4671.
6 But there were some of the scribes sitting there and reasoning in their hearts,
KJVButG1161 there wereG2258(G5713) certainG5100 of the scribesG1122 sittingG2521(G5740) thereG1563, andG2532 reasoningG1260(G5740) inG1722 theirG846 heartsG2588,
7 “Why does this man speak blasphemies like that? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”
KJVWhyG5101 dothG2980 thisG3778 man thusG3779 speakG2980(G5719) blasphemiesG988? whoG5101 canG1410(G5736) forgiveG863(G5721) sinsG266 butG1508 GodG2316 onlyG1520?
8 Immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, said to them, “Why do you reason these things in your hearts?
KJVAndG2532 immediatelyG2112 when JesusG2424 perceivedG1921(G5631) in hisG846 spiritG4151 thatG3754 they soG3779 reasonedG1260(G5736) withinG1722 themselvesG1438, he saidG2036(G5627) unto themG846, WhyG5101 reason yeG1260(G5736) these thingsG5023 inG1722 yourG5216 heartsG2588?
9 Which is easier, to tell the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven;’ or to say, ‘Arise, and take up your bed, and walk’?
KJVWhetherG5101 is itG2076(G5748) easierG2123 to sayG2036(G5629) to the sick of the palsyG3885, Thy sinsG266 be forgivenG863(G5769) theeG4671; orG2228 to sayG2036(G5629), AriseG1453(G5669), andG2532 take upG142(G5657) thyG4675 bedG2895, andG2532 walkG4043(G5720)?
10 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he said to the paralytic—
KJVButG1161 thatG2443 ye may knowG1492(G5762) thatG3754 the SonG5207 of manG444 hathG2192(G5719) powerG1849 onG1909 earthG1093 to forgiveG863(G5721) sinsG266,(he saithG3004(G5719) to the sick of the palsyG3885,)
11 “I tell you, arise, take up your mat, and go to your house.”
KJVI sayG3004(G5719) unto theeG4671, AriseG1453(G5669), andG2532 take upG142(G5657) thyG4675 bedG2895, andG2532 go thy wayG5217(G5720) intoG1519 thineG4675 houseG3624.
12 He arose, and immediately took up the mat and went out in front of them all, so that they were all amazed and glorified God, saying, “We never saw anything like this!”
KJVAndG2532 immediatelyG2112 he aroseG1453(G5681), took upG142(G5660) the bedG2895, andG2532 went forthG1831(G5627) beforeG1726 them allG3956; insomuch thatG5620 they wereG1839 allG3956 amazedG1839(G5733), andG2532 glorifiedG1392(G5721) GodG2316, sayingG3004(G5723),G3754 WeG1492 neverG3763 sawG1492(G5627) it on this fashionG3779.
13 He went out again by the seaside. All the multitude came to him, and he taught them.
KJVAndG2532 he went forthG1831(G5627) againG3825 byG3844 the sea sideG2281; andG2532 allG3956 the multitudeG3793 resortedG2064(G5711) untoG4314 himG846, andG2532 he taughtG1321(G5707) themG846.
14 As he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax office. He said to him, “Follow me.” And he arose and followed him.
KJVAndG2532 as he passed byG3855(G5723), he sawG1492(G5627) LeviG3018 the son of AlphaeusG256 sittingG2521(G5740) atG1909 the receipt of customG5058, andG2532 saidG3004(G5719) unto himG846, FollowG190(G5720) meG3427. AndG2532 he aroseG450(G5631) and followedG190(G5656) himG846.
15 He was reclining at the table in his house, and many tax collectors and sinners sat down with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many, and they followed him.
KJVAndG2532 it came to passG1096(G5633), thatG1722, as JesusG846 sat at meatG2621(G5738) inG1722 hisG846 houseG3614, manyG4183 publicansG5057 andG2532 sinnersG268 satG4873 alsoG2532 together withG4873(G5711) JesusG2424 andG2532 hisG846 disciplesG3101: forG1063 there wereG2258(G5713) manyG4183, andG2532 they followedG190(G5656) himG846.
16 The scribes and the Pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with the sinners and tax collectors, said to his disciples, “Why is it that he eats and drinks with tax collectors and sinners?”
KJVAndG2532 when the scribesG1122 andG2532 PhariseesG5330 sawG1492(G5631) himG846 eatG2068(G5723) withG3326 publicansG5057 andG2532 sinnersG268, they saidG3004(G5707) unto hisG846 disciplesG3101, HowG5101 is it thatG3754 he eatethG2068(G5719) andG2532 drinkethG4095(G5719) withG3326 publicansG5057 andG2532 sinnersG268?
17 When Jesus heard it, he said to them, “Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
KJVWhenG2532 JesusG2424 heardG191(G5660) it, he saithG3004(G5719) unto themG846, They that are wholeG2480(G5723) haveG2192(G5719) noG3756 needG5532 of the physicianG2395, butG235 they that areG2192(G5723) sickG2560: I cameG2064(G5627) notG3756 to callG2564(G5658) the righteousG1342, butG235 sinnersG268 toG1519 repentanceG3341.
18 John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting, and they came and asked him, “Why do John’s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples don’t fast?”
KJVAndG2532 the disciplesG3101 of JohnG2491 andG2532 of the PhariseesG5330 usedG2258(G5713) to fastG3522(G5723): andG2532 they comeG2064(G5736) andG2532 sayG3004(G5719) unto himG846, Why doG1302G3522 the disciplesG3101 of JohnG2491 andG2532 of the PhariseesG5330 fastG3522(G5719), butG1161 thyG4674 disciplesG3101 fastG3522(G5719) notG3756?
19 Jesus said to them, “Can the groomsmen fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they can’t fast.
KJVAndG2532 JesusG2424 saidG2036(G5627) unto themG846,G3361 CanG1410(G5736) the childrenG5207 of the bridechamberG3567 fastG3522(G5721), whileG1722G3739 the bridegroomG3566 isG2076(G5748) withG3326 themG846? as long asG3745G5550 they haveG2192(G5719) the bridegroomG3566 withG3326 themG1438, they cannotG3756G1410(G5736) fastG3522(G5721).
20 But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast in that day.
KJVButG1161 the daysG2250 will comeG2064(G5695), whenG3752 the bridegroomG3566 shall be taken awayG522(G5686) fromG575 themG846, andG2532 thenG5119 shall they fastG3522(G5692) inG1722 thoseG1565 daysG2250.
21 No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, or else the patch shrinks and the new tears away from the old, and a worse hole is made.
KJVNo manG3762 alsoG2532 sewethG1976(G5719) a pieceG1915 of newG46 clothG4470 onG1909 an oldG3820 garmentG2440: elseG1490 the new pieceG2537 that filled it upG4138 taketh awayG142(G5719) fromG846 the oldG3820, andG2532 the rentG4978 is madeG1096(G5736) worseG5501.
22 No one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine will burst the skins, and the wine pours out, and the skins will be destroyed; but they put new wine into fresh wineskins.”
KJVAndG2532 no manG3762 puttethG906(G5719) newG3501 wineG3631 intoG1519 oldG3820 bottlesG779: elseG1490 the newG3501 wineG3631 doth burstG4486(G5719) the bottlesG779, andG2532 the wineG3631 is spilledG1632(G5743), andG2532 the bottlesG779 will be marredG622(G5698): butG235 newG3501 wineG3631 must be putG992 intoG1519 newG2537 bottlesG779.

24 The Pharisees said to him, “Behold, why do they do that which is not lawful on the Sabbath day?”
KJVAndG2532 the PhariseesG5330 saidG3004(G5707) unto himG846, BeholdG2396, whyG5101 do theyG4160(G5719) onG1722 the sabbath dayG4521 that whichG3739 isG1832 notG3756 lawfulG1832(G5748)?

KJVAndG2532 heG846 saidG3004(G5707) unto themG846, Have ye neverG3763 readG314(G5627) whatG5101 DavidG1138 didG4160(G5656), whenG3753 he hadG2192(G5627) needG5532, andG2532 was an hungredG3983(G5656), heG846, andG2532 they that were withG3326 himG846?
