New International Version NIV
1 et iterum intravit Capharnaum post dies
1
A few days later, when Jesus again entered Capernaum, the people heard that he had come home.
2 et auditum est quod in domo esset et convenerunt multi ita ut non caperet neque ad ianuam et loquebatur eis verbum
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 et venerunt ferentes ad eum paralyticum qui a quattuor portabatur
3
Some men came, bringing to him a paralyzed man, carried by four of them.
4 et cum non possent offerre eum illi prae turba nudaverunt tectum ubi erat et patefacientes submiserunt grabattum in quo paralyticus iacebat
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 cum vidisset autem Iesus fidem illorum ait paralytico fili dimittuntur tibi peccata
5
When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”
6 erant autem illic quidam de scribis sedentes et cogitantes in cordibus suis
6
Now some teachers of the law were sitting there, thinking to themselves,
7 quid hic sic loquitur blasphemat quis potest dimittere peccata nisi solus Deus
7
“Why does this fellow talk like that? He’s blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?”
8 quo statim cognito Iesus spiritu suo quia sic cogitarent intra se dicit illis quid ista cogitatis in cordibus vestris
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 quid est facilius dicere paralytico dimittuntur tibi peccata an dicere surge et tolle grabattum tuum et ambula
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 ut autem sciatis quia potestatem habet Filius hominis in terra dimittendi peccata ait paralytico
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 tibi dico surge tolle grabattum tuum et vade in domum tuam
11
“I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home.”
12 et statim ille surrexit et sublato grabatto abiit coram omnibus ita ut admirarentur omnes et honorificarent Deum dicentes quia numquam sic vidimus
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 et egressus est rursus ad mare omnisque turba veniebat ad eum et docebat eos
13
Once again Jesus went out beside the lake. A large crowd came to him, and he began to teach them.
14 et cum praeteriret vidit Levin Alphei sedentem ad teloneum et ait illi sequere me et surgens secutus est eum
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 et factum est cum accumberet in domo illius multi publicani et peccatores simul discumbebant cum Iesu et discipulis eius erant enim multi qui et sequebantur eum
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 et scribae et Pharisaei videntes quia manducaret cum peccatoribus et publicanis dicebant discipulis eius quare cum publicanis et peccatoribus manducat et bibit magister vester
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 hoc audito Iesus ait illis non necesse habent sani medicum sed qui male habent non enim veni vocare iustos sed peccatores
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 et erant discipuli Iohannis et Pharisaei ieiunantes et veniunt et dicunt illi cur discipuli Iohannis et Pharisaeorum ieiunant tui autem discipuli non ieiunant
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 et ait illis Iesus numquid possunt filii nuptiarum quamdiu sponsus cum illis est ieiunare quanto tempore habent secum sponsum non possunt ieiunare
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 venient autem dies cum auferetur ab eis sponsus et tunc ieiunabunt in illa die
20
But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them, and on that day they will fast.
21 nemo adsumentum panni rudis adsuit vestimento veteri alioquin aufert supplementum novum a veteri et maior scissura fit
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 et nemo mittit vinum novellum in utres veteres alioquin disrumpet vinum utres et vinum effunditur et utres peribunt sed vinum novum in utres novos mitti debet
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 et factum est iterum cum sabbatis ambularet per sata et discipuli eius coeperunt praegredi et vellere spicas
23
One Sabbath Jesus was going through the grainfields, and as his disciples walked along, they began to pick some heads of grain.
24 Pharisaei autem dicebant ei ecce quid faciunt sabbatis quod non licet
24
The Pharisees said to him, “Look, why are they doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?”
25 et ait illis numquam legistis quid fecerit David quando necessitatem habuit et esuriit ipse et qui cum eo erant
25
He answered, “Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need?
26 quomodo introiit in domum Dei sub Abiathar principe sacerdotum et panes propositionis manducavit quos non licet manducare nisi sacerdotibus et dedit eis qui cum eo erant
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 et dicebat eis sabbatum propter hominem factum est et non homo propter sabbatum
27
Then he said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.
28 itaque dominus est Filius hominis etiam sabbati
28
So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”
