English Standard Version ESV
The Latin Vulgate VUL
1 And when he returned to Capernaum after some days, it was reported that he was at home.
1
et iterum intravit Capharnaum post dies
2 And many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even at the door. And he was preaching the word to them.
2
et auditum est quod in domo esset et convenerunt multi ita ut non caperet neque ad ianuam et loquebatur eis verbum
3 And they came, bringing to him a paralytic carried by four men.
3
et venerunt ferentes ad eum paralyticum qui a quattuor portabatur
4 And when they could not get near him because of the crowd, they removed the roof above him, and when they had made an opening, they let down the bed on which the paralytic lay.
4
et cum non possent offerre eum illi prae turba nudaverunt tectum ubi erat et patefacientes submiserunt grabattum in quo paralyticus iacebat
5 And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven. ”
5
cum vidisset autem Iesus fidem illorum ait paralytico fili dimittuntur tibi peccata
6 Now some of the scribes were sitting there, questioning in their hearts,
6
erant autem illic quidam de scribis sedentes et cogitantes in cordibus suis
7 “Why does this man speak like that? He is blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone? ”
7
quid hic sic loquitur blasphemat quis potest dimittere peccata nisi solus Deus
8 And immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they thus questioned within themselves, said to them, “Why do you question these things in your hearts?
8
quo statim cognito Iesus spiritu suo quia sic cogitarent intra se dicit illis quid ista cogitatis in cordibus vestris
9 Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven, ’ or to say, ‘Rise, take up your bed and walk’?
9
quid est facilius dicere paralytico dimittuntur tibi peccata an dicere surge et tolle grabattum tuum et ambula
10 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he said to the paralytic—
10
ut autem sciatis quia potestatem habet Filius hominis in terra dimittendi peccata ait paralytico
11 “I say to you, rise, pick up your bed, and go home. ”
11
tibi dico surge tolle grabattum tuum et vade in domum tuam
12 And he rose and immediately picked up his bed and went out before them all, so that they were all amazed and glorified God, saying, “We never saw anything like this! ”
12
et statim ille surrexit et sublato grabatto abiit coram omnibus ita ut admirarentur omnes et honorificarent Deum dicentes quia numquam sic vidimus
13 He went out again beside the sea, and all the crowd was coming to him, and he was teaching them.
13
et egressus est rursus ad mare omnisque turba veniebat ad eum et docebat eos
14 And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax booth, and he said to him, “Follow me. ”And he rose and followed him.
14
et cum praeteriret vidit Levin Alphei sedentem ad teloneum et ait illi sequere me et surgens secutus est eum
15 And as he reclined at table in his house, many tax collectors and sinners were reclining with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many who 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
16 And the scribes of the Pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with sinners and tax collectors, said to his disciples, “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners? ”
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
17 And when Jesus heard it, he said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners. ”
17
hoc audito Iesus ait illis non necesse habent sani medicum sed qui male habent non enim veni vocare iustos sed peccatores
18 Now John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting. And people came and said to him, “Why do John’s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast? ”
18
et erant discipuli Iohannis et Pharisaei ieiunantes et veniunt et dicunt illi cur discipuli Iohannis et Pharisaeorum ieiunant tui autem discipuli non ieiunant
19 And Jesus said to them, “Can the wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.
19
et ait illis Iesus numquid possunt filii nuptiarum quamdiu sponsus cum illis est ieiunare quanto tempore habent secum sponsum non possunt ieiunare
20 The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast in that day.
20
venient autem dies cum auferetur ab eis sponsus et tunc ieiunabunt in illa die
21 No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. If he does, the patch tears away from it, the new from the old, and a worse tear is made.
21
nemo adsumentum panni rudis adsuit vestimento veteri alioquin aufert supplementum novum a veteri et maior scissura fit
22 And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the wine will burst the skins—and the wine is destroyed, and so are the skins. But new wine is for fresh wineskins. ”
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
23 One Sabbath he was going through the grainfields, and as they made their way, his disciples began to pluck heads of grain.
23
et factum est iterum cum sabbatis ambularet per sata et discipuli eius coeperunt praegredi et vellere spicas
24 And the Pharisees were saying to him, “Look, why are they doing what is not lawful on the Sabbath? ”
24
Pharisaei autem dicebant ei ecce quid faciunt sabbatis quod non licet
25 And he said to them, “Have you never read what David did, when he was in need and was hungry, he and those who were with him:
25
et ait illis numquam legistis quid fecerit David quando necessitatem habuit et esuriit ipse et qui cum eo erant
26 how he entered the house of God, in the time of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the bread of the Presence, which it is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and also gave it to those who were with him? ”
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
27 And he said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.
27
et dicebat eis sabbatum propter hominem factum est et non homo propter sabbatum
28 So the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath. ”
28
itaque dominus est Filius hominis etiam sabbati
