Mark Chapter 2

2:1 And again ^aa he entered into Capernaum after some days; and it was noised that he was in the house.



2:2 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 ^ab preached the word unto them.



2:3 And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four.



2:4 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.



2:5 When Jesus ^ac saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, ^ad Son, thy sins be forgiven thee .



2:6 But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,



2:7 Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? ^ae who can forgive sins but God only?



2:8 And immediately ^af when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?



2:9 Whether ^ag 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?



2:10 But that ye may know that the ^ah Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins , (he saith to the sick of the palsy,)



2:11 I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house .



2:12 And ^ai 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.



2:13¶ And ^aj he went forth again by the sea side; and all the multitude resorted unto him, and he taught them.



2:14 And ^ak 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.



2:15 And ^al 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.



2:16 And when ^am 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?



2:17 When Jesus heard it , he saith unto them, ^an 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.



2:18¶ And ^ao 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?



2:19 And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of ^ap the bridechamber fast, while the ^aq bridegroom with them? as long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.



2:20 But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.



2:21 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.



2:22 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 .



2:23¶ And ^ar it came to pass, that he went through the corn fields on the sabbath day; and his disciples began, as they went, ^as to pluck the ears of corn.



2:24 And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful?



2:25 And he said unto them, Have ye never read ^at what David did, when he had need, and was an hungred, he, and they that were with him?



2:26 How he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and did eat the shewbread, ^au which is not lawful to eat but for the priests, and gave also to them which were with him?



2:27 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:



2:28 Therefore ^av the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath .
