And{G2532} again{G3825} he entered{G1525}{(G5627)} into{G1519} Capernaum{G2584} after{G1223} some days{G2250}; and{G2532} it was noised{G191}{(G5681)} that{G3754} he was{G2076}{(G5748)} in{G1519} the house{G3624}.

And{G2532} straightway{G2112} many{G4183} were gathered together{G4863}{(G5681)}, insomuch that{G5620} there was{G5562} no{G3371} room to receive{G5562}{(G5721)} them, no, not so much{G3366} as about{G4314} the door{G2374}: and{G2532} he preached{G2980}{(G5707)} the word{G3056} unto them{G846}.

And{G2532} they come{G2064}{(G5736)} unto{G4314} him{G846}, bringing{G5342}{(G5723)} one sick of the palsy{G3885}, which was borne{G142}{(G5746)} of{G5259} four{G5064}.

And{G2532} when they could{G1410}{(G5740)} not{G3361} come nigh{G4331}{(G5658)} unto him{G846} for{G1223} the press{G3793}, they uncovered{G648}{(G5656)} the roof{G4721} where{G3699} he was{G2258}{(G5713)}: and{G2532} when they had broken it up{G1846}{(G5660)}, they let down{G5465}{(G5719)} the bed{G2895} wherein{G1909}{G3739} the sick of the palsy{G3885} lay{G2621}{(G5711)}.

When{G1161} Jesus{G2424} saw{G1492}{(G5631)} their{G846} faith{G4102}, he said{G3004}{(G5719)} unto the sick of the palsy{G3885}, Son{G5043}, thy{G4675} sins{G266} be forgiven{G863}{(G5769)} thee{G4671}.

But{G1161} there were{G2258}{(G5713)} certain{G5100} of the scribes{G1122} sitting{G2521}{(G5740)} there{G1563}, and{G2532} reasoning{G1260}{(G5740)} in{G1722} their{G846} hearts{G2588},

Why{G5101} doth{G2980} this{G3778} man thus{G3779} speak{G2980}{(G5719)} blasphemies{G988}? who{G5101} can{G1410}{(G5736)} forgive{G863}{(G5721)} sins{G266} but{G1508} God{G2316} only{G1520}?

And{G2532} immediately{G2112} when Jesus{G2424} perceived{G1921}{(G5631)} in his{G846} spirit{G4151} that{G3754} they so{G3779} reasoned{G1260}{(G5736)} within{G1722} themselves{G1438}, he said{G2036}{(G5627)} unto them{G846}, Why{G5101} reason ye{G1260}{(G5736)} these things{G5023} in{G1722} your{G5216} hearts{G2588}?

Whether{G5101} is it{G2076}{(G5748)} easier{G2123} to say{G2036}{(G5629)} to the sick of the palsy{G3885}, Thy sins{G266} be forgiven{G863}{(G5769)} thee{G4671}; or{G2228} to say{G2036}{(G5629)}, Arise{G1453}{(G5669)}, and{G2532} take up{G142}{(G5657)} thy{G4675} bed{G2895}, and{G2532} walk{G4043}{(G5720)}?

But{G1161} that{G2443} ye may know{G1492}{(G5762)} that{G3754} the Son{G5207} of man{G444} hath{G2192}{(G5719)} power{G1849} on{G1909} earth{G1093} to forgive{G863}{(G5721)} sins{G266},(he saith{G3004}{(G5719)} to the sick of the palsy{G3885},)

I say{G3004}{(G5719)} unto thee{G4671}, Arise{G1453}{(G5669)}, and{G2532} take up{G142}{(G5657)} thy{G4675} bed{G2895}, and{G2532} go thy way{G5217}{(G5720)} into{G1519} thine{G4675} house{G3624}.

And{G2532} immediately{G2112} he arose{G1453}{(G5681)}, took up{G142}{(G5660)} the bed{G2895}, and{G2532} went forth{G1831}{(G5627)} before{G1726} them all{G3956}; insomuch that{G5620} they were{G1839} all{G3956} amazed{G1839}{(G5733)}, and{G2532} glorified{G1392}{(G5721)} God{G2316}, saying{G3004}{(G5723)},{G3754} We{G1492} never{G3763} saw{G1492}{(G5627)} it on this fashion{G3779}.

And{G2532} he went forth{G1831}{(G5627)} again{G3825} by{G3844} the sea side{G2281}; and{G2532} all{G3956} the multitude{G3793} resorted{G2064}{(G5711)} unto{G4314} him{G846}, and{G2532} he taught{G1321}{(G5707)} them{G846}.

And{G2532} as he passed by{G3855}{(G5723)}, he saw{G1492}{(G5627)} Levi{G3018} the son of Alphaeus{G256} sitting{G2521}{(G5740)} at{G1909} the receipt of custom{G5058}, and{G2532} said{G3004}{(G5719)} unto him{G846}, Follow{G190}{(G5720)} me{G3427}. And{G2532} he arose{G450}{(G5631)} and followed{G190}{(G5656)} him{G846}.

And{G2532} it came to pass{G1096}{(G5633)}, that{G1722}, as Jesus{G846} sat at meat{G2621}{(G5738)} in{G1722} his{G846} house{G3614}, many{G4183} publicans{G5057} and{G2532} sinners{G268} sat{G4873} also{G2532} together with{G4873}{(G5711)} Jesus{G2424} and{G2532} his{G846} disciples{G3101}: for{G1063} there were{G2258}{(G5713)} many{G4183}, and{G2532} they followed{G190}{(G5656)} him{G846}.

And{G2532} when the scribes{G1122} and{G2532} Pharisees{G5330} saw{G1492}{(G5631)} him{G846} eat{G2068}{(G5723)} with{G3326} publicans{G5057} and{G2532} sinners{G268}, they said{G3004}{(G5707)} unto his{G846} disciples{G3101}, How{G5101} is it that{G3754} he eateth{G2068}{(G5719)} and{G2532} drinketh{G4095}{(G5719)} with{G3326} publicans{G5057} and{G2532} sinners{G268}?

When{G2532} Jesus{G2424} heard{G191}{(G5660)} it, he saith{G3004}{(G5719)} unto them{G846}, They that are whole{G2480}{(G5723)} have{G2192}{(G5719)} no{G3756} need{G5532} of the physician{G2395}, but{G235} they that are{G2192}{(G5723)} sick{G2560}: I came{G2064}{(G5627)} not{G3756} to call{G2564}{(G5658)} the righteous{G1342}, but{G235} sinners{G268} to{G1519} repentance{G3341}.

And{G2532} the disciples{G3101} of John{G2491} and{G2532} of the Pharisees{G5330} used{G2258}{(G5713)} to fast{G3522}{(G5723)}: and{G2532} they come{G2064}{(G5736)} and{G2532} say{G3004}{(G5719)} unto him{G846}, Why do{G1302}{G3522} the disciples{G3101} of John{G2491} and{G2532} of the Pharisees{G5330} fast{G3522}{(G5719)}, but{G1161} thy{G4674} disciples{G3101} fast{G3522}{(G5719)} not{G3756}?

And{G2532} Jesus{G2424} said{G2036}{(G5627)} unto them{G846},{G3361} Can{G1410}{(G5736)} the children{G5207} of the bridechamber{G3567} fast{G3522}{(G5721)}, while{G1722}{G3739} the bridegroom{G3566} is{G2076}{(G5748)} with{G3326} them{G846}? as long as{G3745}{G5550} they have{G2192}{(G5719)} the bridegroom{G3566} with{G3326} them{G1438}, they cannot{G3756}{G1410}{(G5736)} fast{G3522}{(G5721)}.

But{G1161} the days{G2250} will come{G2064}{(G5695)}, when{G3752} the bridegroom{G3566} shall be taken away{G522}{(G5686)} from{G575} them{G846}, and{G2532} then{G5119} shall they fast{G3522}{(G5692)} in{G1722} those{G1565} days{G2250}.

No man{G3762} also{G2532} seweth{G1976}{(G5719)} a piece{G1915} of new{G46} cloth{G4470} on{G1909} an old{G3820} garment{G2440}: else{G1490} the new piece{G2537} that filled it up{G4138} taketh away{G142}{(G5719)} from{G846} the old{G3820}, and{G2532} the rent{G4978} is made{G1096}{(G5736)} worse{G5501}.

And{G2532} no man{G3762} putteth{G906}{(G5719)} new{G3501} wine{G3631} into{G1519} old{G3820} bottles{G779}: else{G1490} the new{G3501} wine{G3631} doth burst{G4486}{(G5719)} the bottles{G779}, and{G2532} the wine{G3631} is spilled{G1632}{(G5743)}, and{G2532} the bottles{G779} will be marred{G622}{(G5698)}: but{G235} new{G3501} wine{G3631} must be put{G992} into{G1519} new{G2537} bottles{G779}.

And{G2532} it came to pass{G1096}{(G5633)}, that he{G846} went{G3899}{(G5738)} through{G1223} the corn fields{G4702} on{G1722} the sabbath day{G4521}; and{G2532} his{G846} disciples{G3101} began{G756}{(G5662)}, as they went{G3598}{G4160}{(G5721)}, to pluck{G5089}{(G5723)} the ears of corn{G4719}.

And{G2532} the Pharisees{G5330} said{G3004}{(G5707)} unto him{G846}, Behold{G2396}, why{G5101} do they{G4160}{(G5719)} on{G1722} the sabbath day{G4521} that which{G3739} is{G1832} not{G3756} lawful{G1832}{(G5748)}?

And{G2532} he{G846} said{G3004}{(G5707)} unto them{G846}, Have ye never{G3763} read{G314}{(G5627)} what{G5101} David{G1138} did{G4160}{(G5656)}, when{G3753} he had{G2192}{(G5627)} need{G5532}, and{G2532} was an hungred{G3983}{(G5656)}, he{G846}, and{G2532} they that were with{G3326} him{G846}?

How{G4459} he went{G1525}{(G5627)} into{G1519} the house{G3624} of God{G2316} in the days{G1909} of Abiathar{G8} the high priest{G749}, and{G2532} did eat{G5315}{(G5627)} the shewbread{G740}{G4286}, which{G3739} is{G1832} not{G3756} lawful{G1832}{(G5748)} to eat{G5315}{(G5629)} but for{G1508} the priests{G2409}, and{G2532} gave{G1325}{(G5656)} also{G2532} to them which were{G5607}{(G5752)} with{G4862} him{G846}?

And{G2532} he said{G3004}{(G5707)} unto them{G846}, The sabbath{G4521} was made{G1096}{(G5633)} for{G1223} man{G444}, and not{G3756} man{G444} for{G1223} the sabbath{G4521}:

Therefore{G5620} the Son{G5207} of man{G444} is{G2076}{(G5748)} Lord{G2962} also{G2532} of the sabbath{G4521}.
