Mark 2
Part 1 of 2
1 And again he entered Capernaum, after some days; and they heard that he was in the house. 2 And immediately many came together, so that the house could contain them no longer, nor could the space about the door. And he preached the word to them. 3 And they came to him, bringing a paralytic, who was carried by four men. 4 And not being able to come near him, on account of the multitude, they took off the roof where he was, and having broken through, they let down the bed on which the paralytic lay. 5 And Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic: Son, your sins are forgiven you. 6 But some of the scribes were sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts: 7 Why does this man thus speak impiously? Who can forgive sins but God only? 8 And Jesus, immediately perceiving in his spirit that they thus reasoned within themselves, said to them: Why are you reasoning thus in your hearts? 9 Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, Your sins are forgiven; or to say, Arise, take up your bed and walk? 10 But that you may know that the Son of man on earth has authority to forgive sins, (he said to the paralytic,) 11 I say to you, Arise, take up your bed and go to your house. 12 And he arose forthwith, and took up his bed, and went out before them all; so that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying: We have never seen it thus. 13 And he went out again by the sea: and all the multitude came to him, and he taught them. 14 And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the custom-house; and he said to him: Follow me. And he arose and followed him. 15 And it came to pass, as Jesus reclined at table in his house, that many publicans and sinners reclined with him and his disciples; for there were many, and they followed him. 16 And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eating with publicans and sinners, they said to his disciples: Why is it that he eats and drinks with publicans and sinners? 17 And when Jesus heard it, he said to them: Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I have not come to call righteous men, but sinners. 18 And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees were in the habit of fasting; and they came, and said to him: Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples fast not? 19 And Jesus said to them: Can the sons of the bride-chamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they can not fast. 20 But the days will come when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then they will fast in those days. 21 No one sews a patch of new cloth on an old garment; if so, the new piece which fills it up, takes from the old, and a worse rent is made. 22 And no one puts new wine into old bottles; if so, the new wine bursts the bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles are destroyed. But new wine must be put into new bottles. 23 And it came to pass, that he was going on the sabbath day through the fields of grain: and his disciples began, as they went, to pull the ears of grain. 24 And the Pharisees said to him: See, why are they doing on the sabbath-day what is not lawful? 25 And he said to them: Did you never read what David did, when he had need and was hungry, he and those who were with him? 26 How he entered the house of God in the days of Abiathar the chief priest, and ate the loaves of the presence, which, it is not lawful, except for the priests, to eat, and gave to those also who were with him? 27 And he said to them: The sabbath was made for man, not man for the sabbath. 28 Therefore, the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
Mark 3
Part 2 of 2
1 And again he entered the synagogue, and a man was there who had a withered hand. 2 And they watched him, whether he would cure him on the sabbath-day, that they might accuse him. 3 And he said to the man who had the withered hand: Arise, and come into the midst. 4 And he said to them: Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath-day, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they were silent. 5 And looking around on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their heart, he said to the man: Stretch forth your hand; and he stretched it forth: and his hand was restored. 6 And the Pharisees immediately went out with the Herodians, and held a consultation against him, that they might destroy him. 7 And Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the sea; and there followed him a great multitude from Galilee, and from Judea, 8 and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and from beyond the Jordan: and those about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they heard what things he was doing, came to him. 9 And he spoke to his disciples, that a small ship should continue near him, because of the multitude, that they might not press upon him. 10 For he cured many, so that as many as had diseases rushed upon him, that they might touch him. 11 And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried out, saying: Thou art the Son of God. 12 And he strictly charged them, that they should not make him known. 13 And he went up into a mountain, and called to him such as he wished, and they came to him. 14 And he appointed twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach, 15 and to have authority to cure diseases, and to cast out demons. 16 And Simon he surnamed Peter; 17 and James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James: and these he surnamed Boanerges, which means, sons of thunder: 18 and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the Son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Canaanite, 19 and Judas Iscariot, who also delivered him up. And they went into a house: 20 and the multitude came together again, so that they were not able even to eat bread. 21 And when his relatives heard of it, they came out to take him; for they said: He is beside himself. 22 And the scribes who had come down from Jerusalem said: He has Beelzebul; and by the prince of the demons he casts out the demons. 23 And he called them to him, and spoke to them in parables: How can Satan cast out Satan? 24 And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom can not stand. 25 And if a house be divided against itself, that house can not stand. 26 And if "Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he can not stand, but has an end. 27 No one can enter the house of the strong man, and spoil his goods, unless he first bind the strong man; and then he will plunder his house. 28 Verily I say to you, All sins shall be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever impious speeches they may utter; 29 but whoever will speak impiously against the Holy Spirit shall never have forgiveness, but is subject to eternal condemnation. 30 For they said: He has an unclean spirit. 31 His mother and his brothers came, therefore, and standing without, sent to him, and called him. 32 And the multitude was sitting about him; and they said to him: Behold, your mother and your brothers are without, seeking you. 33 And he answered them and said: "Who is my mother, or my brothers? 34 And he looked round about on those who were sitting near him, and said: Behold, my mother and my brothers; 35 for whoever will do the will of God, is my brother, and my sister, and mother.
