1 A few days later, when Jesus again entered Capernaum, the people heard that he had come home.2 They gathered in such large numbers that there was no room left, not even outside the door, and he preached the word to them.3 Some men came, bringing to him a paralyzed man, carried by four of them.4 Since 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.5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, "Son, your sins are forgiven."6 Now some teachers of the law were sitting there, thinking to themselves,7 "Why does this fellow talk like that? He's blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?"8 Immediately 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 this paralyzed man, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Get up, take your mat and walk'?10 But 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 tell you, get up, take your mat and go home."12 He 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!"13 Once again Jesus went out beside the lake. A large crowd came to him, and he began to teach them.14 As 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.15 While 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.16 When 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?"17 On 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."18 Now 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?"19 Jesus 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 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 new piece will pull away from the old, making the tear worse.22 And 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."23 One Sabbath Jesus was going through the grainfields, and as his disciples walked along, they began to pick some heads of grain.24 The Pharisees said to him, "Look, why are they doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?"25 He answered, "Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need?26 In 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."27 Then 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."

1 ثم دخل كفرناحوم ايضا بعد ايام فسمع انه في بيت.2 وللوقت اجتمع كثيرون حتى لم يعد يسع ولا ما حول الباب. فكان يخاطبهم بالكلمة.3 وجاءوا اليه مقدمين مفلوجا يحمله اربعة.4 واذ لم يقدروا ان يقتربوا اليه من اجل الجمع كشفوا السقف حيث كان وبعدما نقبوه دلّوا السرير الذي كان المفلوج مضطجعا عليه.5 فلما رأى يسوع ايمانهم قال للمفلوج يا بنيّ مغفورة لك خطاياك.6 وكان قوم من الكتبة هناك جالسين يفكرون في قلوبهم7 لماذا يتكلم هذا هكذا بتجاديف. من يقدر ان يغفر خطايا الا الله وحده.8 فللوقت شعر يسوع بروحه انهم يفكرون هكذا في انفسهم فقال لهم لماذا تفكرون بهذا في قلوبكم.9 أيّما ايسر ان يقال للمفلوج مغفورة لك خطاياك. أم ان يقال قم واحمل سريرك وامش.10 ولكن لكي تعلموا ان لابن الانسان سلطانا على الارض ان يغفر الخطايا. قال للمفلوج11 لك اقول قم واحمل سريرك واذهب الى بيتك.12 فقام للوقت وحمل السرير وخرج قدام الكل حتى بهت الجميع ومجّدوا الله قائلين ما رأينا مثل هذا قط.13 ثم خرج ايضا الى البحر. وأتى اليه كل الجمع فعلّمهم.14 وفيما هو مجتاز رأى لاوي بن حلفى جالسا عند مكان الجباية. فقال له اتبعني. فقام وتبعه.15 وفيما هو متكئ في بيته كان كثيرون من العشارين والخطاة يتكئون مع يسوع وتلاميذه لانهم كانوا كثيرين وتبعوه.16 واما الكتبة والفريسيون فلما رأوه يأكل مع العشارين والخطاة قالوا لتلاميذه ما باله يأكل ويشرب مع العشارين والخطاة.17 فلما سمع يسوع قال لهم. لا يحتاج الاصحاء الى طبيب بل المرضى. لم آت لادعو ابرارا بل خطاة الى التوبة.18 وكان تلاميذ يوحنا والفريسيين يصومون. فجاءوا وقالوا له لماذا يصوم تلاميذ يوحنا والفريسيين واما تلاميذك فلا يصومون.19 فقال لهم يسوع هل يستطيع بنو العرس ان يصوموا والعريس معهم. ما دام العريس معهم لا يستطيعون ان يصوموا.20 ولكن ستأتي ايام حين يرفع العريس عنهم فحينئذ يصومون في تلك الايام.21 ليس احد يخيط رقعة من قطعة جديدة على ثوب عتيق وإلا فالملء الجديد ياخذ من العتيق فيصير الخرق اردأ.22 وليس احد يجعل خمرا جديدة في زقاق عتيقة لئلا تشق الخمر الجديدة الزقاق فالخمر تنصب والزقاق تتلف. بل يجعلون خمرا جديدة في زقاق جديدة23 واجتاز في السبت بين الزروع. فابتدأ تلاميذه يقطفون السنابل وهم سائرون.24 فقال له الفريسيون. انظر. لماذا يفعلون في السبت ما لا يحل.25 فقال لهم أما قرأتم قط ما فعله داود حين احتاج وجاع هو والذين معه.26 كيف دخل بيت الله في ايام ابيأثار رئيس الكهنة واكل خبز التقدمة الذي لا يحل اكله إلا للكهنة واعطى الذين كانوا معه ايضا.27 ثم قال لهم السبت انما جعل لاجل الانسان لا الانسان لاجل السبت.28 اذا ابن الانسان هو رب السبت ايضا
