Chapter |
|
|
|
1 |
And again he entered
into Capernaum after some days; and it was noised that he was in the house.
|
|
|
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 preached the word unto them.
|
|
3 |
And they come unto
him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four.
|
|
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.
|
|
5 |
When Jesus saw their
faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son,
thy sins be forgiven thee.
|
|
6 |
But there was
certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
|
|
7 |
Why doth this man
thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?
|
|
8 |
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?
|
|
9 |
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?
|
|
10 |
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,)
|
|
11 |
I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed,
and go thy way into thine house.
|
|
12 |
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.
|
|
13 |
And he went forth
again by the sea side; and all the multitude resorted unto him, and he
taught them.
|
|
14 |
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.
|
|
15 |
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.
|
|
16 |
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?
|
|
17 |
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.
|
|
18 |
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?
|
|
19 |
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.
|
|
20 |
But the days will come, when the bridegroom
shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
|
|
23 |
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.
|
|
24 |
And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do
they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful?
|
|
25 |
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?
|
|
26 |
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?
|
|
27 |
And he said unto
them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man
for the sabbath:
|
|
28 |
Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the
sabbath. |
