New American Standard Bible 1995

New International Version

1When He had come back to Capernaum several days afterward, it was heard that He was at home.

1A few days later, when Jesus again entered Capernaum, the people heard that he had come home.

2And many were gathered together, so that there was no longer room, not even near the door; and He was speaking the word to them.

2They gathered in such large numbers that there was no room left, not even outside the door, and he preached the word to them.

3And they came, bringing to Him a paralytic, carried by four men.

3Some men came, bringing to him a paralyzed man, carried by four of them.

4Being unable to get to Him because of the crowd, they removed the roof above Him; and when they had dug an opening, they let down the pallet on which the paralytic was lying.

4Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and then lowered the mat the man was lying on.

5And Jesus seeing their faith said to the paralytic, "Son, your sins are forgiven."

5When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, "Son, your sins are forgiven."

6But some of the scribes were sitting there and reasoning in their hearts,

6Now some teachers of the law were sitting there, thinking to themselves,

7"Why does this man speak that way? He is blaspheming; who can forgive sins but God alone?"

7"Why does this fellow talk like that? He's blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?"

8Immediately Jesus, aware in His spirit that they were reasoning that way within themselves, said to them, "Why are you reasoning about these things in your hearts?

8Immediately Jesus knew in his spirit that this was what they were thinking in their hearts, and he said to them, "Why are you thinking these things?

9"Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, 'Your sins are forgiven'; or to say, 'Get up, and pick up your pallet and walk '?

9Which is easier: to say to this paralyzed man, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Get up, take your mat and walk'?

10"But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins "-- He said to the paralytic,

10But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins." So he said to the man,

11"I say to you, get up, pick up your pallet and go home."

11"I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home."

12And he got up and immediately picked up the pallet and went out in the sight of everyone, so that they were all amazed and were glorifying God, saying, "We have never seen anything like this."

12He got up, took his mat and walked out in full view of them all. This amazed everyone and they praised God, saying, "We have never seen anything like this!"

13And He went out again by the seashore; and all the people were coming to Him, and He was teaching them.

13Once again Jesus went out beside the lake. A large crowd came to him, and he began to teach them.

14As He passed by, He saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting in the tax booth, and He said to him, "Follow Me!" And he got up and followed Him.

14As he walked along, he saw Levi son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax collector's booth. "Follow me," Jesus told him, and Levi got up and followed him.

15And it happened that He was reclining at the table in his house, and many tax collectors and sinners were dining with Jesus and His disciples; for there were many of them, and they were following Him.

15While Jesus was having dinner at Levi's house, many tax collectors and sinners were eating with him and his disciples, for there were many who followed him.

16When the scribes of the Pharisees saw that He was eating with the sinners and tax collectors, they said to His disciples, "Why is He eating and drinking with tax collectors and sinners?"

16When the teachers of the law who were Pharisees saw him eating with the sinners and tax collectors, they asked his disciples: "Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?"

17And hearing this, Jesus said to them, "It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick; I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners."

17On hearing this, Jesus said to them, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."

18John's disciples and the Pharisees were fasting; and they came and said to Him, "Why do John's disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but Your disciples do not fast?"

18Now John's disciples and the Pharisees were fasting. Some people came and asked Jesus, "How is it that John's disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees are fasting, but yours are not?"

19And Jesus said to them, "While the bridegroom is with them, the attendants of the bridegroom cannot fast, can they? So long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.

19Jesus answered, "How can the guests of the bridegroom fast while he is with them? They cannot, so long as they have him with them.

20"But the days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast in that day.

20But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them, and on that day they will fast.

21"No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; otherwise the patch pulls away from it, the new from the old, and a worse tear results.

21"No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. Otherwise, the new piece will pull away from the old, making the tear worse.

22"No one puts new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the wine will burst the skins, and the wine is lost and the skins as well; but one puts new wine into fresh wineskins."

22And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins."

23And it happened that He was passing through the grainfields on the Sabbath, and His disciples began to make their way along while picking the heads of grain.

23One Sabbath Jesus was going through the grainfields, and as his disciples walked along, they began to pick some heads of grain.

24The Pharisees were saying to Him, "Look, why are they doing what is not lawful on the Sabbath?"

24The Pharisees said to him, "Look, why are they doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?"

25And He said to them, "Have you never read what David did when he was in need and he and his companions became hungry;

25He answered, "Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need?

26how he entered the house of God in the time of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the consecrated bread, which is not lawful for anyone to eat except the priests, and he also gave it to those who were with him?"

26In the days of Abiathar the high priest, he entered the house of God and ate the consecrated bread, which is lawful only for priests to eat. And he also gave some to his companions."

27Jesus said to them, "The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath.

27Then he said to them, "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.

28"So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath."

28So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath."
