Mark 2
Part 1 of 2
1 And, having entered again into Capernaum after some days, it was heard that He was in the house. 2 And many were gathered together, so that there was no longer room, not even about the door; and He was speaking the word to them. 3 And they come, bringing to Him a paralytic, borne by four. 4 And not being able to bring him to Him because of the crowd, they uncovered the roof where He was; and, having broken it up, they let down the bed on which the paralytic was lying. 5 And Jesus, seeing their faith, saith to the paralytic, "Child, your sins are forgiven." 6 But there were some of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, 7 "Why doth this Man speak thus? He blasphemeth! Who can forgive sins but One, God?" 8 And straightway Jesus, perceiving in His spirit that they so reason within themselves, saith to them, "Why do ye reason these things in your hearts? 9 Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Arise, and take up your bed, and walk?' 10 But, that ye may know the Son of Man hath authority on earth to forgive sins (He saith to the paralytic). 11 I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house." 12 And he arose, and, straightway taking up the bed, went forth before them all; so that all were amazed, and glorified God, saying, "We never saw it thus!" 13 And He went again by the sea; and all the multitude were coming to Him, and He was teaching them. 14 And passing by, He saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, sitting at the tax-office, and saith to him, "Follow Me." And, rising up, he followed Him. 15 And it comes to pass that He reclines at table in his house, and many tax-collectors and sinners recline with Him and His disciples; for there were many, and they were following Him. 16 And the scribes of the Pharisees, seeing that He was eating with the sinners and tax-collectors, said to His disciples, "Why doth He eat with the tax-collectors and sinners?" 17 And Jesus, hearing it , says to them, "Those who are well need not a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners." 18 And John's disciples and the Pharisees were fasting; and they come and say to Him, "Why do John's disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but Thy disciples fast not?" 19 And Jesus said to them, "Can the sons of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast; 20 but there will come days when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast in that day. 21 No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; else the patch takes from it, the new from the old, and a worse rent is made. 22 And no one puts new wine into old wine-skins; else the wine will burst the skins, and the wine perishes, and the skins; but they put new wine into fresh wine-skins." 23 And it came to pass that He was going on the sabbath through the grainfields; and His disciples began to make a way, plucking the heads of grain. 24 And the Pharisees said to them, "Behold, why are they doing on the sabbath that which is not lawful?" 25 And He said to them, "Did ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was hungry, he and those who were with him? 26 How he entered into the house of God during the high priesthood of Abiathar, and ate the show-bread, which it is not lawful to eat except for the priests, and gave also to those who were with him?" 27 And He said to them, "The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath; 28 so that the Son of Man is Lord even of the sabbath."
Mark 3
Part 2 of 2
1 And He entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there, having his hand withered. 2 And they were watching Him, whether He would heal him on the sabbath; that they might accuse Him. 3 And He saith to the man having the withered hand, "Arise in the midst." 4 And He saith to them, "Is it lawful on the sabbath to do good, or to do harm, to save a life, or to kill?" But they were silent. 5 And having looked round about on them with anger, and being grieved at the hardness of their heart, He saith to the man, "Stretch forth your hand." And he stretched it forth; and his hand was restored. 6 And the Pharisees, having gone out, were straightway taking counsel with the Herodians against Him, how they might destroy Him. 7 And Jesus with His disciples withdrew to the sea; and a great multitude from Galilee followed Him ; and from Judaea, 8 and from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and beyond the Jordan, and about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, hearing what things He was doing, came to Him. 9 And He spake to His disciples, that a little boat should wait, on Him, lest they should throng Him; 10 for He had healed many, so that as many as had plagues pressed upon Him, that they might touch Him. 11 And the unclean spirits, whensoever they were beholding Him, were falling down before Him, and crying, saying, "Thou art the Son of God." 12 And He was charging them much, that they should not make Him manifest. 13 And He goeth up into the mountain, and called to Himself those whom He wished. 14 And He appointed twelve [whom He also named apostles], that they might be with Him, and that He might send them forth to preach, 15 and to have authority to cast out demons. 16 And to Simon He added the name Peter; 17 and James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James, (and He added to these the name "Boanerges," that is, "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 Cananaean, 19 and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed Him. And He cometh into a house. 20 And the multitude comes together again, so that they could not even eat bread. 21 And, hearing of it, His kinsmen went out to lay hold on Him; for they said, "He became insane!" 22 And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, "He hath Beelzebub, and by the ruler of the demons casteth out the demons." 23 And, having called them to Him , He said to them in parables, "How can Satan cast out Satan? 24 And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25 And if a house be divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand. 26 And, if Satan did arise against himself, and was divided, he cannot stand, but has an end. 27 But no one is able, after having entered into the house of the strong man, to plunder his goods, except he first bind the strong man; and then will he plunder his house. 28 Verily I say to you, all the sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and the blasphemies whatsoever they blaspheme; 29 but whosoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit has no forgiveness forever, but is guilty of an eternal sin; 30 because they said, 'He hath an unclean spirit.'" 31 And His mother and His brothers come; and, standing without, they sent to Him, calling Him. 32 And a multitude was sitting about Him; and they say to Him, "Behold, Thy mother and Thy brothers without are seeking for Thee." 33 And, answering them, He saith, "Who is My mother, and My brothers?" 34 And looking around on those who sat about Him, He saith, "Behold, My mother, and My brothers! 35 For whosoever does the will of God, the same is My brother, and sister, and mother."
