1And when he entered again into Capernaum after some days, it was reported that he was in the house. 2And many were gathered together, so that there was no longer room for them, no, not even around the door: and he spoke the word to them. 3And they come, bringing to him a paralytic, carried by four. 4And when they could not come near to him for the crowd, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed on which the paralytic lay. 5And Yeshua seeing their faith says to the paralytic, Son, your sins are forgiven. 6But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, 7Why does this man speak like this? he blasphemes: who can forgive sins but one, even God? 8And immediately Yeshua, perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, says to them, Why do you reason these things in your hearts? 9Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, Your sins are forgiven; or to say, Arise, and take up your bed, and walk? 10But that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins (he says to the paralytic), 11I say to you, Arise, take up your bed, and go to your house. 12And he arose, and immediately took up the bed, and went out before them all; so that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it like this. 13And he went out again by the seaside; and all the multitude came to him, and he taught them. 14And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphæus sitting at the tax booth, and he says to him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him. 15And it happened, that he was reclining at table in his house, and many tax collectors and sinners sat down with Yeshua and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him. 16And the scribes of the Pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with the sinners and tax collectors, said to his disciples, How is it that he eats and drinks with tax collectors and sinners? 17And when Yeshua heard it, he says to them, Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick: I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners. 18And 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 your disciples do not fast? 19And Yeshua 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. 20But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then they will fast in that day. 21No man sews a piece of undressed cloth on an old garment: otherwise what should fill it up takes from it, the new from the old, and a worse tear is made. 22And no man puts new wine into old wine-skins; otherwise the wine will burst the skins, and the wine perishes, and the skins: but they put new wine into fresh wine-skins. 23And it happened, that he was going on the sabbath day through the grainfields; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears. 24And the Pharisees said to him, Behold, why do they do on the sabbath day what is not lawful? 25And 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? 26How he entered into the house of God when Abiathar was high priest, and ate the showbread, which it is not lawful to eat except for the priests, and gave also to those who were with him? 27And he said to them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: 28so that the Son of man is lord even of the sabbath.
