002:001

And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word unto them

002:002

And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four

002:003

And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they 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

002:004

When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee

002:005

But there was certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts

002:006

Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only

002:007

And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts

002:008

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

002:009

But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,

002:010

I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house

002:011

And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion

002:012

And he went forth again by the sea side; and all the multitude resorted unto him, and he taught them

002:013

And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the receipt of custom, and said unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him

002:014

And it came to pass, that, as Jesus sat at meat in his house, many publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him

002:015

And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners

002:016

When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They 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

002:017

And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees used to fast: and they come and say unto him, Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not

002:018

And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? as long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast

002:019

But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days

002:020

No man also seweth a piece of new cloth on an old garment: else the new piece that filled it up taketh away from the old, and the rent is made worse

002:021

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 marred: but new wine must be put into new bottles

002:022

And 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

002:023

And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful

002:024

And he said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was an hungred, he, and they that were with him

002:025

How he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and did eat the shewbread, which is not lawful to eat but for the priests, and gave also to them which were with him

002:026

And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath

002:027

Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath
