Mark 2

The Message Bible MSG

1 After a few days, Jesus returned to Capernaum, and word got around that he was back home.

2 A crowd gathered, jamming the entrance so no one could get in or out. He was teaching the Word.

3 They brought a paraplegic to him, carried by four men.

4 When they weren't able to get in because of the crowd, they removed part of the roof and lowered the paraplegic on his stretcher.

5 Impressed by their bold belief, Jesus said to the paraplegic, "Son, I forgive your sins."

6 Some religion scholars sitting there started whispering among themselves,

7 "He can't talk that way! That's blasphemy! God and only God can forgive sins."

8 Jesus knew right away what they were thinking, and said, "Why are you so skeptical?

9 Which is simpler: to say to the paraplegic, 'I forgive your sins,' or say, 'Get up, take your stretcher, and start walking'?

10 Well, just so it's clear that I'm the Son of Man and authorized to do either, or both . . ." (he looked now at the paraplegic),

11 "Get up. Pick up your stretcher and go home."

12 And the man did it - got up, grabbed his stretcher, and walked out, with everyone there watching him. They rubbed their eyes, incredulous - and then praised God, saying, "We've never seen anything like this!"

13 Then Jesus went again to walk alongside the lake. Again a crowd came to him, and he taught them.

14 Strolling along, he saw Levi, son of Alphaeus, at his work collecting taxes. Jesus said, "Come along with me." He came.

15 Later Jesus and his disciples were at home having supper with a collection of disreputable guests. Unlikely as it seems, more than a few of them had become followers.

16 The religion scholars and Pharisees saw him keeping this kind of company and lit into his disciples: "What kind of example is this, acting cozy with the riff-raff?"

17 Jesus, overhearing, shot back, "Who needs a doctor: the healthy or the sick? I'm here inviting the sin-sick, not the spiritually-fit."

18 The disciples of John and the disciples of the Pharisees made a practice of fasting. Some people confronted Jesus: "Why do the followers of John and the Pharisees take on the discipline of fasting, but your followers don't?"

19 Jesus said, "When you're celebrating a wedding, you don't skimp on the cake and wine. You feast. Later you may need to pull in your belt, but not now. As long as the bride and groom are with you, you have a good time. No one throws cold water on a friendly bonfire. This is Kingdom Come!"

20

21 He went on, "No one cuts up a fine silk scarf to patch old work clothes; you want fabrics that match.

22 And you don't put your wine in cracked bottles."

23 One Sabbath day he was walking through a field of ripe grain.

24 As his disciples made a path, they pulled off heads of grain. The Pharisees told on them to Jesus: "Look, your disciples are breaking Sabbath rules!"

25 Jesus said, "Really? Haven't you ever read what David did when he was hungry, along with those who were with him?

26 How he entered the sanctuary and ate fresh bread off the altar, with the Chief Priest Abiathar right there watching - holy bread that no one but priests were allowed to eat - and handed it out to his companions?"

27 Then Jesus said, "The Sabbath was made to serve us; we weren't made to serve the Sabbath.

28 The Son of Man is no lackey to the Sabbath. He's in charge!"

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 et iterum intravit Capharnaum post dies

2 et auditum est quod in domo esset et convenerunt multi ita ut non caperet neque ad ianuam et loquebatur eis verbum

3 et venerunt ferentes ad eum paralyticum qui a quattuor portabatur

4 et cum non possent offerre eum illi prae turba nudaverunt tectum ubi erat et patefacientes submiserunt grabattum in quo paralyticus iacebat

5 cum vidisset autem Iesus fidem illorum ait paralytico fili dimittuntur tibi peccata

6 erant autem illic quidam de scribis sedentes et cogitantes in cordibus suis

7 quid hic sic loquitur blasphemat quis potest dimittere peccata nisi solus Deus

8 quo statim cognito Iesus spiritu suo quia sic cogitarent intra se dicit illis quid ista cogitatis in cordibus vestris

9 quid est facilius dicere paralytico dimittuntur tibi peccata an dicere surge et tolle grabattum tuum et ambula

10 ut autem sciatis quia potestatem habet Filius hominis in terra dimittendi peccata ait paralytico

11 tibi dico surge tolle grabattum tuum et vade in domum tuam

12 et statim ille surrexit et sublato grabatto abiit coram omnibus ita ut admirarentur omnes et honorificarent Deum dicentes quia numquam sic vidimus

13 et egressus est rursus ad mare omnisque turba veniebat ad eum et docebat eos

14 et cum praeteriret vidit Levin Alphei sedentem ad teloneum et ait illi sequere me et surgens secutus est eum

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 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 hoc audito Iesus ait illis non necesse habent sani medicum sed qui male habent non enim veni vocare iustos sed peccatores

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 et ait illis Iesus numquid possunt filii nuptiarum quamdiu sponsus cum illis est ieiunare quanto tempore habent secum sponsum non possunt ieiunare

20 venient autem dies cum auferetur ab eis sponsus et tunc ieiunabunt in illa die

21 nemo adsumentum panni rudis adsuit vestimento veteri alioquin aufert supplementum novum a veteri et maior scissura fit

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 et factum est iterum cum sabbatis ambularet per sata et discipuli eius coeperunt praegredi et vellere spicas

24 Pharisaei autem dicebant ei ecce quid faciunt sabbatis quod non licet

25 et ait illis numquam legistis quid fecerit David quando necessitatem habuit et esuriit ipse et qui cum eo erant

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 et dicebat eis sabbatum propter hominem factum est et non homo propter sabbatum

28 itaque dominus est Filius hominis etiam sabbati
