Jesus viser sin magt til at tilgive synder

1 Nogle dage senere kom Jesus igen til Kapernaum, og det blev hurtigt kendt over hele byen, at han var ankommet. (Matt 9,1; Luk 5,17) 2 Det varede ikke længe, før der kom så mange mennesker til det hus, hvor han var, at folk stod langt ud på gaden for om muligt at høre, hvad han havde at sige. 3 Fire mænd kom gående derhen med en lam mand på en båre. 4 Da de ikke kunne komme ind til Jesus på grund af mængden af mennesker, gik de op ad trappen til husets flade tag. De fjernede et stykke af taget og firede så båren med den syge mand ned lige foran ham. 5 Da Jesus så den tro, som disse mænd havde vist, sagde han til den lamme mand: „Min ven, dine synder er dig tilgivet!” 6 Nogle af de skriftlærde, som sad der, tænkte ved sig selv: 7 „Hvad bilder han sig ind? Det er da en hån imod Gud! Kun Gud kan tilgive synder.”^[1] 8 Jesus var i sin ånd klar over, hvad de tænkte, og han sagde til dem: „Hvorfor tænker I sådan? 9 Hvad er lettest at sige til den lamme mand her: ‚Dine synder er tilgivet,’ eller: ‚Rejs dig op, tag din båre og gå på dine ben’? 10 Lad mig nu vise jer, at Menneskesønnen^[2] har magt på jorden til at tilgive synder.” 11 Med disse ord vendte han sig til den lamme mand og sagde: „Rejs dig op, tag din båre og gå hjem!” 12 Manden rejste sig, tog sin båre og gik sin vej for øjnene af de forbløffede tilskuere, som straks gav sig til at lovprise Gud for det under, der var sket. „Vi har aldrig set noget lignende!” udbrød de begejstret.

Jesus elsker dem, det religiøse samfund forkaster

13 Senere gik Jesus igen ud langs Galilæasøen. En masse mennesker fulgte i hælene på ham, og han underviste dem, mens han gik. (Matt 9,9; Luk 5,27) 14 Da han passerede toldstedet, så han Levi, Alfæus’ søn, sidde der. „Kom med mig!” sagde Jesus til ham. Straks rejste Levi sig og fulgte med ham som en af hans disciple. 15 Derefter blev Jesus og disciplene indbudt til spisning i Levis hjem. Mange skatteopkrævere og nogle af de andre „syndere”, som til stadighed fulgte Jesus, blev også inviteret. 16 Da nu de skriftlærde blandt farisæerne så Jesus i det selskab, sagde de til hans disciple: „Hvordan kan han få sig selv til at spise sammen med den slags syndige mennesker?” 17 Jesus hørte det og svarede: „Raske mennesker har ikke brug for lægehjælp, men det har de syge. Jeg er kommet for at invitere syndere til at vende om til Gud. Det mener de ‚frelste’ jo ikke, at de har brug for!”

Jesus kommer med en ny lære

18 En dag, da Johannes Døbers disciple og farisæerne havde en fastedag,^[3] kom der nogle og spurgte Jesus: „Hvorfor faster dine disciple ikke, når både farisæernes og Johannes’ disciple gør det?” (Matt 9,14; Luk 5,33) 19 „Brudgommens venner kan da ikke faste og sørge, så længe de er sammen med ham,” svarede Jesus. 20 „Men der kommer et tidspunkt, hvor brudgommen bliver taget fra dem. Så kan de faste. 21 Man lapper ikke gammelt tøj med et stykke nyt, uvasket stof. Enhver ved, at når den nye lap krymper, river den det gamle tøj i stykker, så hullet bliver endnu værre. 22 Der er heller ingen, der hælder ny vin på gamle lædersække, for når vinen gærer, vil sækkene sprænges—den nye vin går til spilde, og de gamle sække bliver ødelagt. Nej, til ny vin bruger man nye lædersække.”

Jesus er herre over sabbatten

23 En dag, da det var sabbat, gik Jesus og hans disciple langs en kornmark, og mens de gik, plukkede disciplene nogle aks og spiste kernerne. (Matt 12,1; Luk 6,1) 24 Nogle af farisæerne irettesatte Jesus: „Hvordan kan du tillade, at dine disciple høster korn på en sabbat, hvor man ikke må arbejde?” 25 „Har I aldrig læst om, hvad David gjorde, da han og hans mænd kom i nød og blev sultne?” svarede Jesus. 26 „På den tid da Ebjatar var ypperstepræst, gik David hen til Guds hus, og han og hans mænd spiste af de hellige brød, som egentlig kun præsterne havde lov til at spise af.” 27 Så tilføjede han: „Sabbatten blev til for menneskets skyld—mennesket blev ikke til for sabbattens skyld. 28 Altså er Menneskesønnen herre over sabbatten.”

King James Version

1 And again he entered into Capernaum, after some days; and it was noised that he was in the house. 2 And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word unto them. 3 And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four. 4 And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay. 5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee. 6 But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, 7 Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only? 8 And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts? 9 Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk? 10 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,) 11 I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house. 12 And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion. 13 And he went forth again by the sea side; and all the multitude resorted unto him, and he taught them. 14 And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the receipt of custom, and said unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him. 15 And it came to pass, that, as Jesus sat at meat in his house, many publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him. 16 And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners? 17 When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. 18 And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees used to fast: and they come and say unto him, Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not? 19 And Jesus said unto 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. 20 But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days. 21 No man also seweth a piece of new cloth on an old garment: else the new piece that filled it up taketh away from the old, and the rent is made worse. 22 And no man putteth new wine into old bottles: else the new wine doth burst the bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles will be marred: but new wine must be put into new bottles. 23 And it came to pass, that he went through the corn fields on the sabbath day; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of corn. 24 And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful? 25 And he said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was an hungred, he, and they that were with him? 26 How he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and did eat the shewbread, which is not lawful to eat but for the priests, and gave also to them which were with him? 27 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: 28 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
