¹And again he entered into Capernaum after some days; and it was noised that he

was in the house.

 ²And 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.

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

 ⁴And 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.

 ⁵When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be

forgiven thee.

 ⁶But there was certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,

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

 ⁸And 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?

 ⁹Whether 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?

 ¹⁰But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins,

(he saith to the sick of the palsy,)

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

 ¹²And 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.

 ¹³And he went forth again by the sea side; and all the multitude resorted unto him,

and he taught them.

 ¹⁴And 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.

 ¹⁵And 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.

 ¹⁶And 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?

 ¹⁷When 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.

 ¹⁸And 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?

 ¹⁹And 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.

 ²⁰But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them,

and then shall they fast in those days.

 ²¹No 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.

 ²²And 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.

 ²³And 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.

 ²⁴And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that

which is not lawful?

 ²⁵And 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?

 ²⁶How 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?

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

sabbath:

 ²⁸Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
