Mark 2

English Standard Version

from Crossway

Jesus Heals a Paralytic

1 And when he returned to Capernaum after some days, it was reported that he was at home. (Mt 9:1) 

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. 

3 And they came, bringing to him a paralytic carried by four men. (Mt 9:2; Lu 5:18) 

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. (Lu 5:19) 

5 And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” (Mt 8:10; Mt 8:13; Mt 9:22; Mt 9:29; Mt 15:28; Mr 10:52; Lu 7:9; Lu 7:48; Lu 7:50; Lu 17:19; Lu 18:42; Joh 5:14; Ac 3:16; Ac 14:9; Jas 5:15) 

6 Now some of the scribes were sitting there, questioning in their hearts, 

7 “Why does this man speak like that? He is blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?” (Ps 32:5; Isa 43:25; Mr 14:64; Joh 10:36) 

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? (Joh 2:25) 

9 Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Rise, 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— (Mr 2:28) 

11 “I say to you, rise, pick up your bed, and go home.” 

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!” (Lu 7:16) 

Jesus Calls Levi

13 He went out again beside the sea, and all the crowd was coming to him, and he was teaching them. (Mr 1:45) 

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. (Mt 9:9; Lu 5:27) 

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. (Mt 11:19; Lu 15:2) 

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?” (Mr 2:15; Ac 4:5; Ac 23:9) 

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.” (Lu 15:7; Joh 9:39; 1Ti 1:15) 

A Question About Fasting

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?” (Mt 11:2; Mt 14:12; Mr 7:5; Lu 11:1; Lu 18:12; Joh 1:35; Joh 3:25; Joh 4:1; Ac 18:25; Ac 19:3) 

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. (Joh 3:29) 

20 The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast in that day. (Lu 17:22; Joh 16:20) 

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. 

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.” (Jos 9:4) 

Jesus Is Lord of the Sabbath

23 One Sabbath he was going through the grainfields, and as they made their way, his disciples began to pluck heads of grain. (De 23:25; Mt 12:1; Lu 6:1) 

24 And the Pharisees were saying to him, “Look, why are they doing what is not lawful on the Sabbath?” (Ex 20:9; Mt 9:11) 

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: (1Sa 21:1; Mt 21:16) 

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?” (Ex 25:30; Le 24:5; 1Sa 21:1; 2Sa 8:17; 1Ch 24:6) 

27 And he said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. (Ex 23:12; De 5:14; Col 2:16) 

28 So the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath.” (Mr 2:10)

Bible Kralická

1 A opět všel do Kafarnaum po několika dnech. I uslyšáno jest, že by doma byl. 

2 A hned sešlo se jich množství, takže již nemohli ani ke dveřům. I mluvil jim slovo. 

3 Tedy přijdou k němu někteří, nesouce šlakem poraženého, kterýžto ode čtyř nesen byl. 

4 A když k němu nemohli pro zástupy, loupali střechu, kdež byl Ježíš, a probořivše půdu, spustili po provazích dolů ložce, na němž ležel šlakem poražený. 

5 A vida Ježíš víru jejich, dí šlakem poraženému: Synu, odpouštějí se tobě hříchové tvoji. 

6 A byli tu někteří z zákoníků, sedíce a myslíce v srdcích svých: 

7 Co tento tak mluví rouhavě? Kdo můž odpustiti hříchy, jediné sám Bůh? 

8 To hned poznav Ježíš duchem svým, že by tak přemyšlovali sami v sobě, řekl jim: Proč o tom přemyšlujete v srdcích svých? 

9 Co jest snáze říci šlakem poraženému: Odpouštějí se tobě hříchové, čili říci: Vstaň a vezmi lože své a choď? 

10 Ale abyste věděli, že Syn člověka má moc na zemi odpouštěti hříchy, dí šlakem poraženému: 

11 Toběť pravím: Vstaň, a vezmi lože své, a jdi do domu svého. 

12 I vstal hned, a vzav lože své přede všemi, odšel, takže se děsili všickni, a chválili Boha, řkouce: Nikdy jsme toho neviděli. 

13 I vyšel opět k moři, a všecken zástup přicházel k němu, i učil je. 

14 A pomíjeje Ježíš, uzřel Léví syna Alfeova, sedícího na cle. I dí jemu: Pojď za mnou. A on vstav, šel za ním. 

15 I stalo se, když seděl za stolem v domu jeho, že i publikáni mnozí a hříšníci seděli spolu s Ježíšem a s učedlníky jeho; neb mnoho jich bylo, a šlo za ním. 

16 Zákoníci pak a farizeové vidouce, že jedl s publikány a s hříšníky, řekli učedlníkům jeho: Což jest toho, že s publikány a hříšníky jí a pije Mistr váš? 

17 To uslyšav Ježíš, dí jim: Nepotřebují zdraví lékaře, ale nemocní. Nepřišelť jsem volati spravedlivých, ale hříšných ku pokání. 

18 Učedlníci pak Janovi a farizejští postívali se. I přišli a řekli jemu: Proč učedlníci Janovi a farizejští postí se, a tvoji učedlníci se nepostí? 

19 I řekl jim Ježíš: Kterakž mohou synové Ženichovi postiti se, když jest s nimi Ženich? Dokavadž mají s sebou Ženicha, nemohouť se postiti. 

20 Ale přijdouť dnové, když od nich odjat bude Ženich, a tehdáž se budou postiti v těch dnech. 

21 Ano nižádný záplaty sukna nového nepřišívá k rouchu starému; jinak odtrhne ta záplata nová od starého ještě něco, i bývá větší díra. 

22 A žádný nevlévá vína nového do nádob starých; jinak rozpučí nové víno nádoby, a tak víno se vyleje, a nádoby se pokazí. Ale víno nové má lito býti do nádob nových. 

23 I stalo se, že šel Ježíš v sobotu skrze obilí, i počali učedlníci jeho jdouce vymínati klasy. 

24 Tedy farizeové řekli jemu: Pohleď, coť činí učedlníci tvoji, čehož nesluší činiti v sobotu. 

25 I řekl jim: Nikdy-liž jste nečtli, co učinil David, když nouze byla, a lačněl, on i ti, kteříž s ním byli? 

26 Kterak všel do domu Božího za Abiatara nejvyššího kněze, a jedl chleby posvátné, (jichžto neslušelo jísti než samým kněžím,) a dal i těm, kteříž s ním byli? 

27 I pravil jim: Sobota pro člověka učiněna jest, a ne člověk pro sobotu. 

28 Protož Syn člověka jest pánem také i soboty.
