Mark 2
Part 1 of 2
1 AND again he entered into Capernaum after some days: and it was heard, that he was in the house; 2 and immediately many collected round him, so that there was no room, not even at the door; and he spake the word to them. 3 And they come to him, carrying a paralytic, borne of four: 4 and not being able to come nigh him because of the crowd, they stripped off the roofing of the house where he was; and having broken a way through, they let down with ropes the couch, on which the paralytic lay. 5 Then Jesus beholding their faith, saith to the paralytic, Son, thy sins are forgiven thee. 6 Now there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, 7 Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but the one God? 8 And instantly Jesus knowing by his spirit, that they reasoned thus among each other, said to them, Why reason ye about these things in your hearts? 9 Which is the easier thing, to say to a paralytic, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, Arise and take up thy couch, and walk away? 10 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath authority upon earth to forgive sins, he saith to the paralytic, 11 I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thy house. 12 And he arose instantly, and taking up his couch, went out before them all; so that they were all astonished, and glorified God, saying, We never before saw any thing like this. 13 And he went forth again to the sea side; and all the people came unto him; and he taught them. 14 And passing by, he saw Levi the son of Alpheus sitting at the custom-house, and he saith to him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him 15 And it came to pass, as he sat at table in his house, many publicans also, and sinners, sat down with Jesus and his disciples; for they were numerous, and they followed him. 16 And the scribes and the Pharisees seeing him eat with publicans and sinners, said to his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners? 17 And when Jesus heard it, he said unto them, They who are in strong health have no need of a physician, but they who have illness: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. 18 And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees kept fasts; and they came and said to him, Wherefore do the disciples of John, and of the Pharisees, fast? but thy disciples keep no fast. 19 And Jesus said to 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 And no man seweth on a patch of cloth undressed upon an old garment: but if otherwise, the new piece supplied taketh away from the old, and the rent is made worse. 22 And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; but if otherwise, the new wine will burst the bottles, and the wine will be spilt, and the bottles destroyed: but new wine must be put into new bottles. 23 And he was walking through the cornfields on the sabbath; and his disciples as they went on the road plucked the ears of corn. 24 And the Pharisees said to him, See, why are they doing on the sabbath, what is not lawful? 25 And he said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, when he was under necessity, and was hungry, himself and they who were with him? 26 How he entered into the house of God to Abiathar the high-priest; and did eat the shewbread, which it was not lawful for any to eat except the priests, and he gave also to those who were with him? 27 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, not man for the sabbath. 28 Wherefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
Mark 3
Part 2 of 2
1 AND he entered again into the synagogue; and a man was there who had a withered hand. 2 And they watched him if he would cure him on the sabbath; that they might accuse him. 3 And he saith to the man who had the withered hand, Rise up in the midst. 4 And he saith to them, Is it lawful on the sabbath day to do good, or to do evil, to preserve life, or to kill? but they were silent. 5 Then looking round about on them with indignation, exceedingly grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith to the man, Stretch out thine hand; and he stretched it out: and his hand was restored sound as the other. 6 And the Pharisees instantly going out, held a council with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him. 7 And Jesus retired with his disciples to the sea side; and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judea, 8 and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and from the farther side of Jordan; and they around Tyre and Sidon, a vast multitude, when they heard what wonders he did, came unto him. 9 And he spoke to his disciples that a little boat should be ready for him, because of the crowd, lest they should press upon him: 10 for he healed many; insomuch, that they thronged in upon him, that they might touch him, as many as had afflictive diseases. 11 And the unclean spirits, when they beheld him, fell down before him, and cried out saying, Thou art the Son of God. 12 And he repeatedly charged them, that they should not make him known. 13 And he went up into a mountain, and called to him those whom he chose; and they came to him. 14 And he appointed twelve to be with him, and to send them out to preach: 15 and to have authority to cure diseases, and to cast out devils: 16 and Simon he surnamed Peter; 17 and James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and surnamed them Boanerges, that is, sons of thunder: 18 and Andrew and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alpheus, and Thaddeus, and Simon the Canaanite, 19 and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him: and they came into an house. 20 And the multitude came together again, so that they were not able even to eat bread. 21 And when his relations heard it, they went out to restrain him, for they said, He is transported beyond all bounds. 22 And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem, said, He hath Beelzebub, and by this prince of the devils doth he cast out devils. 23 So calling them to him, he spake to them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan? 24 Even if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand: 25 and if a family be divided against itself, that family cannot be established. 26 So if Satan rise up against himself, and is divided, he cannot subsist, but cometh to an end. 27 No man entering into his house, can plunder a strong man's goods, unless he first bind the strong man, then indeed he spoileth his house. 28 Verily I say unto you, That all sins shall be forgiven to the sons of men, and the blasphemies, whatsoever they may blaspheme: 29 but whosoever shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost, hath no forgiveness to eternity, but is adjudged to everlasting damnation. 30 Because they said, he hath an unclean spirit. 31 Then came his brethren and his mother, and standing without sent unto him, calling aloud for him. 32 And the multitude sat around him, and they said to him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without are asking for thee. 33 And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother or my brethren? 34 And looking about on those who were sitting in a circle round him, he saith, Behold my mother and my brethren! 35 For whosoever shall do the will of God, that person is my brother, and my sister, and mother.
