1And He having entered into Capernaum after [some] days; it was heard that He was in the house; 2And many were gathered together, so that there was no more space, not even at the door; and He was speaking the word to them. 3And they come, carrying to Him a paralytic being lifted by four. 4And not being able to come near to Him on account of the crowd, they unroofed the roof where He was, and having dug it out, they let down the mat on which the paralytic was lying. 5And Jesus having seen their faith, says to the paralytic, Child, your sins are remitted you. 6And there were some of the scribes sitting there and dialoguing (thoroughly reckoning) in their hearts, 7Why does this Man thus speak? He blasphemes! Who is able to remit sins, except one- God? 8And directly, Jesus having recognized in His spirit that thus they are dialoguing within themselves, says to them, Why do you dialogue these things in your hearts? 9Which is easier to say to the paralytic, Your sins are remitted, or to say, Arise and take up your mat and walk? 10However so that you might know that the Son of Man has authority to remit sins upon the earth- He says to the paralytic, 11To you I say, Arise, take up your mat, and go unto your house. 12And he arose and directly having taken up the mat, went out before all, so as to astonish all and to glorify God, saying, Never thus did we see.

13And He went out again beside the sea and all the crowd came to Him and He taught them.

14And passing by, He saw Levi the [son] of Alphaeus sitting upon the tax booth, and says to him, Follow Me. And having arisen, he followed Him.

15And it happened as He was reclining in his house that many tax collectors and sinners were reclining with Jesus and His disciples; for they having been many, and they followed Him. 16And the scribes and Pharisees having seen Him eating with the sinners and tax collectors, said to His disciples, Why is it that He eats with the tax collectors and sinners? 17And Jesus having heard, says to them, Those being strong (able) have no need of a physician (iatrou), but rather those having badly (kakos). I did not come to call righteous [ones], but rather sinners.

18And the disciples of John and those of the Pharisees were fasting. And they come and say to Him, Why do the disciples of John and those disciples of the Pharisees fast, however You disciples do not fast? 19And Jesus said to them, Can (Are they able) the sons of the bridechamber fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have time with the bridegroom, they are not able (can not) to fast. 20And days will come when the bridegroom will have been taken away from them and then they will fast in those there days.

21No one sews a piece of new unshrunk cloth upon old worn out clothing; otherwise the new filler tears away from the old worn out and a worse tear happens. 22And no one puts (throws) new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the wine will burst the wineskins and the wine and the wineskins will be ruined (destroyed, lost). But new (neon-young, fresh) wine into new (kainos- new, unused) wineskins.

23And it happened that He was passing through the sown fields on the Sabbath and His disciples began to make their way plucking the heads of grain. 24And the Pharisees said to Him, Behold, why do they on the Sabbath do that which is not permitted? 25And He said to them, Did you never read what David did when he had need and hungered, he and those with him? 26How he entered into the house of God upon [the days of] Abiathar the high priest and ate the bread of the presentation (shew-bread), which it is not permitted except for the priests to eat. And he gave even to those who were with him? 27And He said to them, The Sabbath was made for the sake of man and not man for the sake of the Sabbath. 28So then the Son of Man is Lord also of the Sabbath.
