AND again he entered into Capernaum after some days: and it was heard, that he was in the house; ²and immediately many collected round him, so that there was no room, not even at the door; and he spake the word to them. ³And they come to him, carrying a paralytic, borne of four: ⁴and not being able to come nigh him because of the crowd, they stripped off the roofing of the house where he was; and having broken a way through, they let down with ropes the couch, on which the paralytic lay. ⁵Then Jesus beholding their faith, saith to the paralytic, Son, thy sins are forgiven thee. ⁶Now there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, ⁷Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but the one God? ⁸And instantly Jesus knowing by his spirit, that they reasoned thus among each other, said to them, Why reason ye about these things in your hearts? ⁹Which is the easier thing, to say to a paralytic, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, Arise and take up thy couch, and walk away? ¹⁰But that ye may know that the Son of man hath authority upon earth to forgive sins, he saith to the paralytic, ¹¹I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thy house. ¹²And he arose instantly, and taking up his couch, went out before them all; so that they were all astonished, and glorified God, saying, We never before saw any thing like this.

¹³And he went forth again to the sea side; and all the people came unto him; and he taught them. ¹⁴And passing by, he saw Levi the son of Alpheus sitting at the custom-house, and he saith to him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him ¹⁵And it came to pass, as he sat at table in his house, many publicans also, and sinners, sat down with Jesus and his disciples; for they were numerous, and they followed him. ¹⁶And the scribes and the Pharisees seeing him eat with publicans and sinners, said to his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners? ¹⁷And when Jesus heard it, he said unto them, They who are in strong health have no need of a physician, but they who have illness: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

¹⁸And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees kept fasts; and they came and said to him, Wherefore do the disciples of John, and of the Pharisees, fast? but thy disciples keep no fast. ¹⁹And Jesus said to 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. ²⁰But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days. ²¹And no man seweth on a patch of cloth undressed upon an old garment: but if otherwise, the new piece supplied taketh away from the old, and the rent is made worse. ²²And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; but if otherwise, the new wine will burst the bottles, and the wine will be spilt, and the bottles destroyed: but new wine must be put into new bottles.

²³And he was walking through the cornfields on the sabbath; and his disciples as they went on the road plucked the ears of corn. ²⁴And the Pharisees said to him, See, why are they doing on the sabbath, what is not lawful? ²⁵And he said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, when he was under necessity, and was hungry, himself and they who were with him? ²⁶How he entered into the house of God to Abiathar the high-priest; and did eat the shewbread, which it was not lawful for any to eat except the priests, and he gave also to those who were with him? ²⁷And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, not man for the sabbath. ²⁸Wherefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
