The Good News According to Mark, Chapter 2
{2:1} When he entered again into Kafar-Nachum after some days, it
was heard that he was in the house. {2:2} Immediately many were
gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even around the
door; and he spoke the word to them. {2:3} Four people came, carrying
a paralytic to him. {2:4} 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. {2:5} Yeshua,
seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, "Son, your sins are
forgiven you."
{2:6} But there were some of the [1>]Sofrim[<1] sitting there, and
reasoning in their hearts, {2:7} "Why does this man speak blasphemies
like that? Who can forgive sins but God alone?"
{2:8} Immediately Yeshua, perceiving in his spirit that they so
reasoned within themselves, said to them, "Why do you reason these
things in your hearts? {2:9} Which is easier, to tell the paralytic,
'Your sins are forgiven;' or to say, 'Arise, and take up your bed, and
walk?' {2:10} But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority
on [2>]eretz[<2] to forgive sins" -- he said to the paralytic --
{2:11} "I tell you, arise, take up your mat, and go to your house."
{2:12} 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!"
{2:13} He went out again by the seaside. All the multitude came to
him, and he taught them. {2:14} As he passed by, he saw Levi, the son
of Halfai, sitting at the tax office, and he said to him, "Follow me."
And he arose and followed him.
{2:15} It happened, that he was reclining at the table in his house,
and many tax collectors and sinners sat down with Yeshua and his
[3>]talmidim[<3], for there were many, and they followed him. {2:16}
The [4>]Sofrim[<4] and the Perushim, when they saw that he was eating
with the sinners and tax collectors, said to his [5>]talmidim[<5],
"Why is it that he eats and drinks with tax collectors and sinners?"
{2:17} When Yeshua 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."
{2:18} Yochanan's [6>]talmidim[<6] and the Perushim were fasting,
and they came and asked him, "Why do Yochanan's [7>]talmidim[<7] and
the [8>]talmidim[<8] of the Perushim fast, but your [9>]talmidim[<9]
don't fast?"
{2:19} Yeshua 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. {2:20} But the days will come when the
bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then will they fast in
that day. {2:21} 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. {2:22} 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."
{2:23} It happened that he was going on the day of Shabbat through
the grain fields, and his [10>]talmidim[<10] began, as they went, to
pluck the ears of grain. {2:24} The Perushim said to him, "Behold, why
do they do that which is not lawful on the day of Shabbat?"
{2:25} He said to them, "Did you never read what David did, when he
had need, and was hungry -- he, and they who were with him? {2:26} How
he entered into the house of God when Avyatar was [11>]Kohen
Gadol[<11], and ate the show bread, which it is not lawful to eat
except for the [12>]Kohanim[<12], and gave also to those who were with
him?" {2:27} He said to them, "The Shabbat was made for man, not man
for the Shabbat. {2:28} Therefore the Son of Man is lord even of the
Shabbat."
