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 Alphæus 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.
Jēzus dziedina paralizēto
(Mt 9:1–8Lk 5:17–26)1 Pēc dažām dienām viņš atkal ieradās Kapernaumā, un ļaudis uzzināja, ka viņš ir namā. 2 Tik daudz ļaužu sapulcējās, ka pat durvju priekšā vairs nebija vietas, un viņš runāja uz tiem. 3 Te nāca četri vīri, kas nesa pie viņa kādu paralizēto. 4 Kad ļaužu pūļa dēļ tie nevarēja viņam piekļūt, tie atsedza jumtu namam, kur viņš bija, un, jumtu uzplēsuši, nolaida gultu, kurā paralizētais gulēja. 5 Jēzus, redzēdams viņu ticību, sacīja paralizētajam: “Dēls, tavi grēki tev ir piedoti.” 6 Bet tur sēdēja daži rakstu mācītāji, un tie sprieda savās sirdīs: 7 “Kā viņš tā runā? Viņš zaimo! Kurš cits var grēkus piedot kā vienīgi Dievs?” 8 Un tūlīt Jēzus savā garā nomanīja, ka viņi sevī tā domā, un viņiem sacīja: “Kādēļ jūs tā spriežat savās sirdīs? 9 Kas ir vieglāk – sacīt paralizētajam: tev tavi grēki ir piedoti! – vai sacīt: celies, ņem savu gultu un staigā! – 10 Bet lai jūs zinātu, ka Cilvēka Dēlam ir vara virs zemes grēkus piedot,” – un viņš sacīja paralizētajam: 11 “Es tev saku: celies, ņem savu gultu un ej mājās!” 12 Un viņš tūlīt piecēlās un, gultu paņēmis, izgāja ārā visu priekšā; un visi izbrīnījās un slavēja Dievu, sacīdami: “Neko tādu mēs vēl nekad neesam redzējuši!”
Levija aicināšana
(Mt 9:9–13Lk 5:27–32)13 Tad viņš atkal aizgāja pie jūras, un visi ļaudis nāca pie viņa, un viņš tos mācīja. 14 Garām iedams, viņš ieraudzīja Leviju, Alfeja dēlu, pie muitnīcas sēžam un tam sacīja: “Seko man!” Tad tas piecēlies gāja viņam līdzi. 15 Reiz viņš apsēdās tā namā pie galda, un līdz ar Jēzu un viņa mācekļiem tur sēdēja arī daudz muitnieku un grēcinieku, jo daudz tādu viņam sekoja. 16 Kad rakstu mācītāji no farizeju vidus viņu redzēja ēdam kopā ar grēciniekiem un muitniekiem, tie jautāja viņa mācekļiem: “Kādēļ viņš ēd kopā ar muitniekiem un grēciniekiem?” 17 Jēzus, to dzirdējis, tiem sacīja: “Veseliem ārsta nevajag, bet gan slimajiem. Es neesmu nācis aicināt taisnos, bet grēciniekus.”
Kāzu viesi negavē
(Mt 9:14–17Lk 5:33–39)18 Jāņa mācekļi un farizeji gavēja. Daži nāca pie Jēzus un jautāja: “Kādēļ Jāņa un farizeju mācekļi gavē, bet tavi mācekļi negavē?” 19 Tad Jēzus tiem sacīja: “Kā var kāzu viesi gavēt, kamēr līgavainis ir pie viņiem? Kamēr līgavainis ir kopā ar tiem, tie nevar gavēt. 20 Bet nāks dienas, kad līgavainis tiem tiks atņemts; tad tie gavēs tajā dienā. 21 Neviens nešuj jauna auduma ielāpu uz vecām drēbēm, jo tad ielāps no tām noplīst – jaunais no vecā – un plīsums kļūst vēl lielāks. 22 Un neviens jaunu vīnu nelej vecos ādas maisos, citādi vīns maisu saplēš, un vīns un maisi iet bojā. Nē, jauns vīns lejams jaunos maisos.”
Mācekļi plūc vārpas sabatā
(Mt 12:1–8Lk 6:1–5)23 Tad kādā sabatā viņš gāja caur labības lauku, un ceļā viņa mācekļi sāka plūkt vārpas. 24 Farizeji viņam teica: “Redzi, kādēļ viņi sabatā dara, kas nav atļauts?” 25 Un viņš tiem sacīja: “Vai jūs nekad neesat lasījuši, ko darīja Dāvids, kad viņu spieda trūkums un kad viņš pats bija izsalcis un tie, kas ar viņu bija? 26 Kā viņš iegāja Dieva namā augstā priestera Abjatāra laikā un ēda upurmaizes, kuras ļauts ēst tikai priesteriem, un deva arī tiem, kas bija ar viņu?” 27 Tad viņš tiem teica: “Sabats ir iecelts cilvēka dēļ, bet ne cilvēks sabata dēļ. 28 Tātad Cilvēka Dēls ir kungs arī pār sabatu.”
