Mark 2

Mark Chapter 2 KJV

1Christ, followed by multitudes, 3healeth one sick of the palsy: 13calleth Matthew from the receipt of custom: 15justifieth himself for eating with publicans and sinners: 18excuseth his disciples for not fasting: 23and vindicateth them for plucking the ears of corn on the sabbath day.
1 And 1again he entered into 2Capernaum after some days; and it was noised that he was in the house.
2 1And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and 2he preached the word unto them.
3 1And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four.
4 And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, 1they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.
5 When Jesus 1saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, 2Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.
6 But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
7 1Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? 2who can forgive sins but God only?
8 And immediately when Jesus 1perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?
9 Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?
10 But that ye may know that 1the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,)
11 1I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house.
12 And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; 1insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.
13 And he went forth again by the sea side; and all 1the multitude resorted unto him, and he taught them.
14 1And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting aat the receipt of custom, and said unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him.
15 And it came to pass, that, as Jesus sat at meat in his house, 1many publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him.
16 And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, 1How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?
17 When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, 1They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
18 1And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees used to fast: and they come and say unto him, 2Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not?
19 And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the 1bridechamber 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 1shall be taken away from them, and then 2shall they fast in those days.
21 1No man also seweth a piece of anew cloth on an old garment: else the new piece that filled it up taketh away from the old, and the rent is made worse.
22 And no man putteth new wine into old bottles: else the new wine doth burst the bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles will be 1marred: but new wine must be put into new bottles.
23 1And it came to pass, that he went through the corn fields on the sabbath day; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of corn.
24 And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, 1why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful?
25 And he said unto them, Have ye never read 1what David did, when he had need, and was an hungred, he, and they that were with him?
26 How he went into the house of God in the days of 1Abiathar the high priest, and did eat the shewbread, 2which is not lawful to eat but for the priests, and gave also to them which were with him?
27 And he said unto them, 1The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:
28 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
