1 And when he came into Capernaum again after some days, the news went about that he was in the house.2 And a great number had come together, so that there was no longer room for them, no, not even about the door: and he gave them teaching.3 And four men came to him with one on a bed who had no power of moving.4 And when they were unable to get near him because of all the people, they got the roof uncovered where he was: and when it was broken up, they let down the bed on which the man was.5 And Jesus, seeing their faith, said to him, Son, you have forgiveness for your sins.6 But there were certain of the scribes seated there, and reasoning in their hearts,7 Why does this man say such things? he has no respect for God: from whom does forgiveness come but from God only?8 And Jesus, having knowledge in his spirit of their thoughts, said to them, Why are you reasoning about these things in your hearts?9 Which is the simpler, to say to a man who is ill, You have forgiveness for your sins, or, Get up, take up your bed, and go?10 But so that you may see that the Son of man has authority for the forgiveness of sins on earth, (he said to the man,)11 I say to you, Get up, take up your bed, and go to your house.12 And he got up, and straight away took up the bed and went out before them all, so that they were all full of wonder, and gave glory to God, saying, We have never seen anything like this.13 And he went out again by the seaside; and all the people came to him, and he gave them teaching.14 And when he went by, he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, seated at the place where taxes were taken, and he said to him, Come with me. And he got up, and went with him.15 And it came about that he was seated at meat in his house, and a number of tax-farmers and sinners were at table with Jesus and his disciples: for there were a great number of them, and they came after him.16 And the scribes of the Pharisees, when they saw that he was taking food with the tax-farmers and sinners, said to his disciples, Why does he take food and drink with such men?17 And Jesus, hearing it, said to them, Those who are well have no need of a medical man, but those who are ill: I have come not to get the upright but sinners.18 And John's disciples and the Pharisees were taking no food: and they came and said to him, Why do John's disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees go without food, but your disciples do not?19 And Jesus said to them, Will the friends of a newly-married man go without food while he is with them? as long as they have him with them they will not go without food.20 But the days will come when the husband will be taken away from them, and then they will go without food.21 No man puts a bit of new cloth on an old coat: or the new, by pulling away from the old, makes a worse hole.22 And no man puts new wine into old wine-skins: or the skins will be burst by the wine, and the wine and the skins will be wasted: but new wine has to be put into new wine-skins.23 And it came about that on the Sabbath day he was going through the grain-fields; and while they were walking, his disciples took the heads of grain.24 And the Pharisees said to him, Why are they doing what it is not right to do on the Sabbath?25 And he said to them, Have you no knowledge of what David did, when he had need and was without food, he, and those who were with him?26 How he went into the house of God when Abiathar was high priest, and took for food the holy bread, which only the priests may take, and gave it to those who were with him?27 And he said to them, The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath;28 So that the Son of man is lord even of the Sabbath.

1 Et iterum intravit Capharnaum post dies, 2 et auditum est quod in domo esset, et convenerunt multi, ita ut non caperet neque ad januam, et loquebatur eis verbum. 3 Et venerunt ad eum ferentes paralyticum, qui a quatuor portabatur. 4 Et cum non possent offerre eum illi pr turba, nudaverunt tectum ubi erat : et patefacientes submiserunt grabatum in quo paralyticus jacebat. 5 Cum autem vidisset Jesus fidem illorum, ait paralytico : Fili, dimittuntur tibi peccata tua. 6 Erant autem illic quidam de scribis sedentes, et cogitantes in cordibus suis : 7 Quid hic sic loquitur ? blasphemat. Quis potest dimittere peccata, nisi solus Deus ? 8 Quo statim cognito Jesus spiritu suo, quia sic cogitarent intra se, dicit illis : Quid ista cogitatis in cordibus vestris ? 9 Quid est facilius dicere paralytico : Dimittuntur tibi peccata tua : an dicere : Surge, tolle grabatum tuum, et ambula ? 10 Ut autem sciatis quia Filius hominis habet potestatem in terra dimittendi peccata (ait paralytico), 11 tibi dico : Surge, tolle grabatum tuum, et vade in domum tuam. 12 Et statim surrexit ille : et, sublato grabato, abiit coram omnibus, ita ut mirarentur omnes, et honorificent Deum, dicentes : Quia numquam sic vidimus.13 Et egressus est rursus ad mare, omnisque turba veniebat ad eum, et docebat eos. 14 Et cum prteriret, vidit Levi Alphi sedentem ad telonium, et ait illi : Sequere me. Et surgens secutus est eum. 15 Et factum est, cum accumberet in domo illius, multi publicani et peccatores simul discumbebant cum Jesu et discipulis ejus : erant enim multi, qui et sequebantur eum. 16 Et scrib et pharisi videntes quia manducaret cum publicanis et peccatoribus, dicebant discipulis ejus : Quare cum publicanis et peccatoribus manducat et bibit Magister vester ? 17 Hoc audito Jesus ait illis : Non necesse habent sani medico, sed qui male habent : non enim veni vocare justos, sed peccatores. 18 Et erant discipuli Joannis et pharisi jejunantes : et veniunt, et dicunt illi : Quare discipuli Joannis et pharisorum jejunant, tui autem discipuli non jejunant ? 19 Et ait illis Jesus : Numquid possunt filii nuptiarum, quamdiu sponsus cum illis est, jejunare ? Quanto tempore habent secum sponsum, non possunt jejunare. 20 Venient autem dies cum auferetur ab eis sponsus : et tunc jejunabunt in illis diebus. 21 Nemo assumentum panni rudis assuit vestimento veteri : alioquin aufert supplementum novum a veteri, et major scissura fit. 22 Et nemo mittit vinum novum in utres veteres : alioquin dirumpet vinum utres, et vinum effundetur, et utres peribunt : sed vinum novum in utres novos mitti debet.23 Et factum est iterum Dominus sabbatis ambularet per sata, et discipuli ejus cperunt progredi, et vellere spicas. 24 Pharisi autem dicebant ei : Ecce, quid faciunt sabbatis quod non licet ? 25 Et ait illis : Numquam legistis quid fecerit David, quando necessitatem habuit, et esuriit ipse, et qui cum eo erant ? 26 quomodo introibit in domum Dei sub Abiathar principe sacerdotum, et panes propositionis manducavit, quos non licebat manducare, nisi sacerdotibus, et dedit eis qui cum eo erant ? 27 Et dicebat eis : Sabbatum propter hominem factum est, et non homo propter sabbatum. 28 Itaque Dominus est Filius hominis, etiam sabbati.
