And again
he entered
into
Capernaum
after
some days
; and
it was noised
that
he was
in
the house
.
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 preached
the word
unto them
.
And they come
unto
him
, bringing
one sick of the palsy
, which was borne
of
four
.
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
.
When Jesus
saw
their
faith
, he said
unto the sick of the palsy
, Son
, thy
sins
be forgiven
thee
.
But there were
certain
of the scribes
sitting
there
, and
reasoning
in
their
hearts
,
Why doth
this
man thus
speak
blasphemies
? who
can
forgive
sins
but
God
only
?
And immediately
when Jesus
perceived
in his
spirit
that
they so
reasoned
within
themselves
, he said
unto them
, Why
reason ye
these things
in
your
hearts
?
Whether 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
?
But that
ye may know
that
the Son
of man
hath
power
on
earth
to forgive
sins
, (he saith
to the sick of the palsy
,)
I say unto thee
, Arise
, and
take up
thy
bed
, and
go thy way
into
thine
house
.
And 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
.
And he went forth
again
by
the sea side
; and
all
the multitude
resorted
unto
him
, and
he taught
them
.
And 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
.
And 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
.
And when 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
?
When Jesus
heard
it , he saith
unto them
, 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
.
And 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
?
And Jesus
said
unto them
,
Can
the children
of the bridechamber
fast
, while
the bridegroom
is
with
them
? as long as
they have
the bridegroom
with
them
, they cannot
fast
.
But the days
will come
, when
the bridegroom
shall be taken away
from
them
, and
then
shall they fast
in
those
days
.
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
.
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
.
And it came to pass
, that he
went
through
the corn fields
on
the sabbath day
; and
his
disciples
began
, as they went
, to pluck
the ears of corn
.
And the Pharisees
said
unto him
, Behold
, why
do they
on
the sabbath day
that which
is
not
lawful
?
And he
said
unto them
, Have ye never
read
what
David
did
, when
he had
need
, and
was an hungred
, he
, and
they that were with
him
?
How he went
into
the house
of God
in the days
of Abiathar
the high priest
, and
did eat
the shewbread
, which
is
not
lawful
to eat
but for
the priests
, and
gave
also
to them which were
with
him
?
And he said
unto them
, The sabbath
was made
for
man
, and not
man
for
the sabbath
:
Therefore the Son
of man
is
Lord
also
of the sabbath
.
