Mark 2 (WEBP)
[1] When he entered again into Capernaum after some days, it was heard that he was at home.
[2] Immediately many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even around the door; and he spoke the word to them.
[3] Four people came, carrying a paralytic to him.
[4] When they could not come near to him for the crowd, they removed the roof where he was. When they had broken it up, they let down the mat that the paralytic was lying on.
[5] Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.”
[6] But there were some of the scribes sitting there and reasoning in their hearts,
[7] “Why does this man speak blasphemies like that? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”
[8] Immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, said to them, “Why do you reason these things in your hearts?
[9] Which is easier, to tell the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven;’ or to say, ‘Arise, and take up your bed, and walk’?
[10] But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he said to the paralytic—
[11] “I tell you, arise, take up your mat, and go to your house.”
[12] He arose, and immediately took up the mat and went out in front of them all, so that they were all amazed and glorified God, saying, “We never saw anything like this!”
[13] He went out again by the seaside. All the multitude came to him, and he taught them.
[14] As he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax office. He said to him, “Follow me.” And he arose and followed him.
[15] He was reclining at the table in his house, and many tax collectors and sinners sat down with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many, and they followed him.
[16] The scribes and the Pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with the sinners and tax collectors, said to his disciples, “Why is it that he eats and drinks with tax collectors and sinners?”
[17] When Jesus heard it, he said to them, “Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
[18] John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting, and they came and asked him, “Why do John’s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples don’t fast?”
[19] Jesus said to them, “Can the groomsmen fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they can’t fast.
[20] But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast in that day.
[21] No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, or else the patch shrinks and the new tears away from the old, and a worse hole is made.
[22] No one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine will burst the skins, and the wine pours out, and the skins will be destroyed; but they put new wine into fresh wineskins.”
[23] He was going on the Sabbath day through the grain fields; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of grain.
[24] The Pharisees said to him, “Behold, why do they do that which is not lawful on the Sabbath day?”
[25] He said to them, “Did you never read what David did when he had need and was hungry—he, and those who were with him?
[26] How he entered into God’s house at the time of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the show bread, which is not lawful to eat except for the priests, and gave also to those who were with him?”
[27] He said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.
[28] Therefore the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath.”

Mark 2 (KJVS)
[1] And G2532 again G3825 he entered G1525 (Aor2ActInd) into G1519 Capernaum G2584 after G1223 [some] days G2250; and G2532 it was noised G191 (AorPasInd) that G3754 he was G2076 (PresInd) in G1519 the house G3624.
[2] And G2532 straightway G2112 many G4183 were gathered together G4863 (AorPasInd), insomuch that G5620 there was G5562 no G3371 room to receive G5562 (PresActInf) [them], no, not so much G3366 as about G4314 the door G2374: and G2532 he preached G2980 (ImpfActInd) the word G3056 unto them G846.
[3] And G2532 they come G2064 (PresMidPasDepInd) unto G4314 him G846, bringing G5342 (PresActPtc) one sick of the palsy G3885, which was borne G142 (PresPasPtc) of G5259 four G5064.
[4] And G2532 when they could G1410 (PresMidPasDepPtc) not G3361 come nigh G4331 (AorActInf) unto him G846 for G1223 the press G3793, they uncovered G648 (AorActInd) the roof G4721 where G3699 he was G2258 (ImpfInd): and G2532 when they had broken [it] up G1846 (AorActPtc), they let down G5465 (PresActInd) the bed G2895 wherein G1909 G3739 the sick of the palsy G3885 lay G2621 (ImpfMidPasDepInd).
[5] When G1161 Jesus G2424 saw G1492 (Aor2ActPtc) their G846 faith G4102, he said G3004 (PresActInd) unto the sick of the palsy G3885, Son G5043, thy G4675 sins G266 be forgiven G863 (PerfPasInd) thee G4671.
[6] But G1161 there were G2258 (ImpfInd) certain G5100 of the scribes G1122 sitting G2521 (PresMidPasDepPtc) there G1563, and G2532 reasoning G1260 (PresMidPasDepPtc) in G1722 their G846 hearts G2588,
[7] Why G5101 doth G2980 this G3778 [man] thus G3779 speak G2980 (PresActInd) blasphemies G988? who G5101 can G1410 (PresMidPasDepInd) forgive G863 (PresActInf) sins G266 but G1508 God G2316 only G1520?
[8] And G2532 immediately G2112 when Jesus G2424 perceived G1921 (Aor2ActPtc) in his G846 spirit G4151 that G3754 they so G3779 reasoned G1260 (PresMidPasDepInd) within G1722 themselves G1438, he said G2036 (Aor2ActInd) unto them G846, Why G5101 reason ye G1260 (PresMidPasDepInd) these things G5023 in G1722 your G5216 hearts G2588?
[9] Whether G5101 is it G2076 (PresInd) easier G2123 to say G2036 (Aor2ActInf) to the sick of the palsy G3885, [Thy] sins G266 be forgiven G863 (PerfPasInd) thee G4671; or G2228 to say G2036 (Aor2ActInf), Arise G1453 (AorMidImpr), and G2532 take up G142 (AorActImpr) thy G4675 bed G2895, and G2532 walk G4043 (PresActImpr)?
[10] But G1161 that G2443 ye may know G1492 (PerfActSubj) that G3754 the Son G5207 of man G444 hath G2192 (PresActInd) power G1849 on G1909 earth G1093 to forgive G863 (PresActInf) sins G266, (he saith G3004 (PresActInd) to the sick of the palsy G3885,)
[11] I say G3004 (PresActInd) unto thee G4671, Arise G1453 (AorMidImpr), and G2532 take up G142 (AorActImpr) thy G4675 bed G2895, and G2532 go thy way G5217 (PresActImpr) into G1519 thine G4675 house G3624.
[12] And G2532 immediately G2112 he arose G1453 (AorPasInd), took up G142 (AorActPtc) the bed G2895, and G2532 went forth G1831 (Aor2ActInd) before G1726 them all G3956; insomuch that G5620 they were G1839 all G3956 amazed G1839 (PresMidInf), and G2532 glorified G1392 (PresActInf) God G2316, saying G3004 (PresActPtc), G3754 We G1492 never G3763 saw G1492 (Aor2ActInd) it on this fashion G3779.
[13] And G2532 he went forth G1831 (Aor2ActInd) again G3825 by G3844 the sea side G2281; and G2532 all G3956 the multitude G3793 resorted G2064 (ImpfMidPasDepInd) unto G4314 him G846, and G2532 he taught G1321 (ImpfActInd) them G846.
[14] And G2532 as he passed by G3855 (PresActPtc), he saw G1492 (Aor2ActInd) Levi G3018 the [son] of Alphaeus G256 sitting G2521 (PresMidPasDepPtc) at G1909 the receipt of custom G5058, and G2532 said G3004 (PresActInd) unto him G846, Follow G190 (PresActImpr) me G3427. And G2532 he arose G450 (Aor2ActPtc) and followed G190 (AorActInd) him G846.
[15] And G2532 it came to pass G1096 (Aor2MidDepInd), that G1722, as Jesus G846 sat at meat G2621 (PresMidPasDepInf) in G1722 his G846 house G3614, many G4183 publicans G5057 and G2532 sinners G268 sat G4873 also G2532 together with G4873 (ImpfMidPasDepInd) Jesus G2424 and G2532 his G846 disciples G3101: for G1063 there were G2258 (ImpfInd) many G4183, and G2532 they followed G190 (AorActInd) him G846.
[16] And G2532 when the scribes G1122 and G2532 Pharisees G5330 saw G1492 (Aor2ActPtc) him G846 eat G2068 (PresActPtc) with G3326 publicans G5057 and G2532 sinners G268, they said G3004 (ImpfActInd) unto his G846 disciples G3101, How G5101 is it that G3754 he eateth G2068 (PresActInd) and G2532 drinketh G4095 (PresActInd) with G3326 publicans G5057 and G2532 sinners G268?
[17] When G2532 Jesus G2424 heard G191 (AorActPtc) [it], he saith G3004 (PresActInd) unto them G846, They that are whole G2480 (PresActPtc) have G2192 (PresActInd) no G3756 need G5532 of the physician G2395, but G235 they that are G2192 (PresActPtc) sick G2560: I came G2064 (Aor2ActInd) not G3756 to call G2564 (AorActInf) the righteous G1342, but G235 sinners G268 to G1519 repentance G3341.
[18] And G2532 the disciples G3101 of John G2491 and G2532 of the Pharisees G5330 used G2258 (ImpfInd) to fast G3522 (PresActPtc): and G2532 they come G2064 (PresMidPasDepInd) and G2532 say G3004 (PresActInd) unto him G846, Why do G1302 G3522 the disciples G3101 of John G2491 and G2532 of the Pharisees G5330 fast G3522 (PresActInd), but G1161 thy G4674 disciples G3101 fast G3522 (PresActInd) not G3756?
[19] And G2532 Jesus G2424 said G2036 (Aor2ActInd) unto them G846, G3361 Can G1410 (PresMidPasDepInd) the children G5207 of the bridechamber G3567 fast G3522 (PresActInf), while G1722 G3739 the bridegroom G3566 is G2076 (PresInd) with G3326 them G846? as long as G3745 G5550 they have G2192 (PresActInd) the bridegroom G3566 with G3326 them G1438, they cannot G3756 G1410 (PresMidPasDepInd) fast G3522 (PresActInf).
[20] But G1161 the days G2250 will come G2064 (FutMidDepInd), when G3752 the bridegroom G3566 shall be taken away G522 (AorPasSubj) from G575 them G846, and G2532 then G5119 shall they fast G3522 (FutActInd) in G1722 those G1565 days G2250.
[21] No man G3762 also G2532 seweth G1976 (PresActInd) a piece G1915 of new G46 cloth G4470 on G1909 an old G3820 garment G2440: else G1490 the new piece G2537 that filled it up G4138 taketh away G142 (PresActInd) from G846 the old G3820, and G2532 the rent G4978 is made G1096 (PresMidPasDepInd) worse G5501.
[22] And G2532 no man G3762 putteth G906 (PresActInd) new G3501 wine G3631 into G1519 old G3820 bottles G779: else G1490 the new G3501 wine G3631 doth burst G4486 (PresActInd) the bottles G779, and G2532 the wine G3631 is spilled G1632 (PresPasInd), and G2532 the bottles G779 will be marred G622 (FutMidInd): but G235 new G3501 wine G3631 must be put G992 into G1519 new G2537 bottles G779.
[23] And G2532 it came to pass G1096 (Aor2MidDepInd), that he G846 went G3899 (PresMidPasDepInf) through G1223 the corn fields G4702 on G1722 the sabbath day G4521; and G2532 his G846 disciples G3101 began G756 (AorMidDepInd), as they went G3598 G4160 (PresActInf), to pluck G5089 (PresActPtc) the ears of corn G4719.
[24] And G2532 the Pharisees G5330 said G3004 (ImpfActInd) unto him G846, Behold G2396, why G5101 do they G4160 (PresActInd) on G1722 the sabbath day G4521 that which G3739 is G1832 not G3756 lawful G1832 (PresInd)?
[25] And G2532 he G846 said G3004 (ImpfActInd) unto them G846, Have ye never G3763 read G314 (Aor2ActInd) what G5101 David G1138 did G4160 (AorActInd), when G3753 he had G2192 (Aor2ActInd) need G5532, and G2532 was an hungred G3983 (AorActInd), he G846, and G2532 they that were with G3326 him G846?
[26] How G4459 he went G1525 (Aor2ActInd) into G1519 the house G3624 of God G2316 in the days G1909 of Abiathar G8 the high priest G749, and G2532 did eat G5315 (Aor2ActInd) the shewbread G740 G4286, which G3739 is G1832 not G3756 lawful G1832 (PresInd) to eat G5315 (Aor2ActInf) but for G1508 the priests G2409, and G2532 gave G1325 (AorActInd) also G2532 to them which were G5607 (PresPtc) with G4862 him G846?
[27] And G2532 he said G3004 (ImpfActInd) unto them G846, The sabbath G4521 was made G1096 (Aor2MidDepInd) for G1223 man G444, and not G3756 man G444 for G1223 the sabbath G4521:
[28] Therefore G5620 the Son G5207 of man G444 is G2076 (PresInd) Lord G2962 also G2532 of the sabbath G4521.
Young’s Literal Translation
Mark 2 (YLT)
[1] And again he entered into Capernaum, after some days, and it was heard that he is in the house,
[2] and immediately many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even at the door, and he was speaking to them the word.
[3] And they come unto him, bringing a paralytic, borne by four,
[4] and not being able to come near to him because of the multitude, they uncovered the roof where he was, and, having broken it up, they let down the couch on which the paralytic was lying,
[5] and Jesus having seen their faith, saith to the paralytic, ‘Child, thy sins have been forgiven thee.’
[6] And there were certain of the scribes there sitting, and reasoning in their hearts,
[7] ‘Why doth this one thus speak evil words? who is able to forgive sins except one-God?’
[8] And immediately Jesus, having known in his spirit that they thus reason in themselves, said to them, ‘Why these things reason ye in your hearts?
[9] which is easier, to say to the paralytic, The sins have been forgiven to thee? or to say, Rise, and take up thy couch, and walk?
[10] ‘And, that ye may know that the Son of Man hath authority on the earth to forgive sins-(he saith to the paralytic)-
[11] I say to thee, Rise, and take up thy couch, and go away to thy house;’
[12] and he rose immediately, and having taken up the couch, he went forth before all, so that all were astonished, and do glorify God, saying-‘Never thus did we see.’
[13] And he went forth again by the sea, and all the multitude was coming unto him, and he was teaching them,
[14] and passing by, he saw Levi of Alpheus sitting at the tax-office, and saith to him, ‘Be following me,’ and he, having risen, did follow him.
[15] And it came to pass, in his reclining (at meat) in his house, that many tax-gatherers and sinners were reclining (at meat) with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many, and they followed him.
[16] And the scribes and the Pharisees, having seen him eating with the tax-gatherers and sinners, said to his disciples, ‘Why-that with the tax-gatherers and sinners he doth eat and drink?’
[17] And Jesus, having heard, saith to them, ‘They who are strong have no need of a physician, but they who are ill; I came not to call righteous men, but sinners to reformation.’
[18] And the disciples of John and those of the Pharisees were fasting, and they come and say to him, ‘Wherefore do the disciples of John and those of the Pharisees fast, and thy disciples do not fast?’
[19] And Jesus said to them, ‘Are the sons of the bride-chamber able, while the bridegroom is with them, to fast? so long time as they have the bridegroom with them they are not able to fast;
[20] but days shall come when the bridegroom may be taken from them, and then they shall fast-in those days.
[21] ‘And no one a patch of undressed cloth doth sew on an old garment, and if not-the new filling it up doth take from the old and the rent doth become worse;
[22] and no one doth put new wine into old skins, and if not-the new wine doth burst the skins, and the wine is poured out, and the skins will be destroyed; but new wine into new skins is to be put.’
[23] And it came to pass-he is going along on the sabbaths through the corn-fields-and his disciples began to make a way, plucking the ears,
[24] and the Pharisees said to him, ‘Lo, why do they on the sabbaths that which is not lawful?’
[25] And he said to them, ‘Did ye never read what David did, when he had need and was hungry, he and those with him?
[26] how he went into the house of God, (at ‘Abiathar the chief priest?’) and the loaves of the presentation did eat, which it is not lawful to eat, except to the priests, and he gave also to those who were with him?’
[27] And he said to them, ‘The sabbath for man was made, not man for the sabbath,
[28] so that the son of man is lord also of the sabbath.’
