Mark 2
Part 1 of 2
1 And after some days He went again into Capernaum; and it being heard that He was in the house, 2 great numbers were immediately gathered together, so that there was no more room to contain them, not even about the door: and as he was preaching the word unto them, 3 there came some to Him, bringing a paralytic who was carried by four men: 4 and not being able to come near to Him for the croud, they uncovered the roof where He was, and when they had made an openning, they let down the couch on which the paralytic was laid. 5 And Jesus, seeing their faith, saith to him that had the palsy, Son, thy sins are forgiven thee. 6 But there were some of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, 7 Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God? 8 And Jesus, who knew immediately in his spirit that they were thus reasoning within themselves, said unto them, Why do ye dispute these things in your hearts? 9 Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, Thy sins are forgiven; or to say, Rise, take up thy couch, and walk? 10 But that ye may know, that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, 11 I say unto thee (saith He to the paralytic,) Arise, and take up thy couch, and go thy way to thine own house. 12 And he instantly arose, and taking up his couch, went out before them all, so that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, we never saw the like. 13 And He went out again towards the sea- side, and all the people resorted to Him, and He taught them. 14 And as He went along, He saw Levi the son of Alpheus, sitting at the receit of custom, and saith unto him, Follow me: and he rose up and followed Him. 15 And as He sat at table in his house, many publicans and sinners also sat down with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed Him. 16 And the scribes and pharisees, when they saw Him eating with publicans and sinners, said to his disciples, What is the meaning that He eateth with publicans and sinners? 17 Which Jesus hearing, saith unto them, They that are in health have no need of a physician, but they that are ill: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners. 18 And as the disciples of John, and of the pharisees used to fast, they came to Him, saying, Why do the disciples of John and of the pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not? 19 And Jesus said unto them, Can the bridemen fast, when the bridegroom is with them? while the bridegroom is with them, they cannot fast: 20 but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them; and then shall they fast. 21 No man seweth a piece of new cloth on an old garment; otherwise, it's new patch teareth from the old, and the rent is made worse: 22 nor does any one put new wine into old vessels; otherwise the new wine bursteth the vessels, and the wine is spilt, and the vessels are destroyed: but new wine should be put into new vessels. 23 And as He was going thro' the corn- fields on the sabbath- day, his disciples began as they went along to pluck the ears of corn. 24 And the pharisees said to Him, See, why do they what is not lawful to be done on the sabbath-day? 25 And He said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, in his necessity, when he was hungry, himself and those that were with him? 26 how he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar, who was afterwards the high priest, and did eat the shew-bread, which it is not lawful for any to eat, but the priests, and gave also to them that were with him! 27 And He said moreover unto them, The sabbath was made for man, not man for the sabbath: 28 and therefore the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath.
Mark 3
Part 2 of 2
1 And He went another time into a synagogue, where there was a man that had a withered hand: 2 and they watched Him, whether He would heal him on the sabbath-day, that they might accuse Him. 3 And He said to the man, that had the withered hand, Rise up into the midst: 4 then saith He to them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? but they were silent. 5 And when He had looked round upon them with indignation, being grieved at the hardness of their hearts, He saith to the man, Stretch out thine hand: and he stretched it out, and his hand was made as sound as the other. 6 And the pharisees went out, and immediately took counsel with the Herodians against Him, how to destroy Him: 7 but Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the sea. 8 And a great multitude from Galilee followed Him, and from Judea, and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and from beyond Jordan; and those about Tyre and Sidon, a great number, hearing how great things He did, came unto Him. 9 Therefore He spake to his disciples, that there might be a small vessel attending Him, because of the multitude, least they should throng Him: for He had healed many, 10 so that whoever had any maladies, crouded upon Him to touch Him. 11 And impure spirits, when they saw Him, fell down before Him, and cried out, saying, Thou art the Son of God: 12 but He strictly charged them not to make Him known. 13 Then going up into a mountain, He calleth for such as He saw fit, and they came to Him: 14 and He appointed twelve to be with Him, and that He might send them forth to preach the gospel, 15 and to have power to heal diseases, and to cast out demons; 16 even Simon, whom He surnamed Peter, 17 and James the Son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James, (and He surnamed them Boanerges, which is to say, Sons of thunder,) and Andrew, 18 and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alpheus, and Thaddeus, 19 and Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, even him who betrayed Him. 20 And they went into a house, and the multitude came together again, so that they could not so much as eat. 21 And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on Him; for they said He spends Himself too much. 22 And the scribes that came down from Jerusalem said, He is in league with Beelzebub, and casts out demons by the help of the prince of demons. 23 So He called them to Him, and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan? 24 If a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand: 25 and if a family be divided against itself, that family cannot stand: and if Satan oppose himself and be divided, 26 he cannot stand, but his kingdom is at an end. 27 No one can enter into the house of a strong man, and plunder his goods; unless he first bind the strong man, and then he may pillage his house. 28 Verily I tell you, that all sins shall be forgiven to the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith they may blaspheme: 29 but whosoever blasphemeth against the holy Ghost never hath forgiveness, but is liable to eternal damnation: 30 for they said, He hath an impure spirit. 31 So his brethren and his mother came, and standing without sent to Him to call Him to them: 32 and there was a multitude sitting about Him, and they said to Him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren are without inquiring for thee. 33 And He answered them, and said, Who is my mother, or my brethren? 34 And looking round on those that sat about Him, He said, Behold my mother, and my brethren: 35 for whosoever doth the will of God, he is to me as my brother, my sister, and mother.
