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.
1 Un pēc kādām dienām Viņš gāja atkal uz Kapernaumu, un ļaudis dzirdēja Viņu esam namā. 2 Un daudzi sapulcējās, tā ka tiem pat durvju priekšā nebija vietas, un Viņš tiem sludināja vārdu. 3 Un pie Viņa nāca ar triekas ķertu, ko četri nesa. 4 Un, kad tie nevarēja pie Viņa klāt tikt ļaužu dēļ, tad tie atsedza jumtu tur, kur Viņš bija, un, uzplēsuši to, nolaida gultu, kurā triekas ķertais gulēja. 5 Un, redzēdams viņu ticību, Jēzus sacīja uz triekas ķerto: "Mans bērns, tavi grēki tev piedoti." 6 Bet tur bija kādi no rakstu mācītājiem, tie sēdēja turpat un domāja savās sirdīs: 7 "Ko šis tā runā? Viņš zaimo Dievu. Kas cits var grēkus piedot kā vienīgi Dievs?" 8 Un tūdaļ Jēzus Savā garā nomanīja tos pie sevis pašiem tā domājam un uz tiem saka: "Kam jūs tā domājat savās sirdīs? 9 Kas ir vieglāk - vai sacīt uz triekas ķerto: grēki tev ir piedoti, - vai sacīt: celies, ņem savu gultu un staigā. 10 Bet lai jūs zinātu, ka Cilvēka Dēlam ir vara virs zemes grēkus piedot." Viņš saka uz triekas ķerto: 11 "Es tev saku: celies, ņem savu gultu un ej mājās." 12 Un tas tūdaļ cēlās un, gultu paņēmis, aizgāja, visiem redzot, tā ka visi izbrīnījās un Dievu teica, sacīdami: "To mēs nemūžam vēl neesam redzējuši." 13 Un Viņš izgāja atkal pie jūras, un visi ļaudis nāca pie Viņa, un Viņš tos mācīja. 14 Un, garām iedams, Viņš redzēja Leviju, Alfeja dēlu, pie muitas sēžam un tam saka: "Staigā Man pakaļ!" Un tas cēlies staigāja Viņam pakaļ! 15 Un notika, Tam viņa namā pie galda sēžot, ka arī daudz muitnieku un grēcinieku sēdēja pie galda līdz ar Jēzu un Viņa mācekļiem; jo to bija daudz, un tie staigāja Viņam pakaļ. 16 Un, kad rakstu mācītāji un farizeji Viņu redzēja ēdam ar grēciniekiem un muitniekiem, tad tie sacīja Viņa mācekļiem: "Vai tad Viņš ēd ar muitniekiem un grēciniekiem?" 17 Un Jēzus, to dzirdējis, uz tiem saka: "Veseliem ārsta nevajag, bet neveseliem. Es neesmu nācis aicināt (atgriezties no grēkiem) taisnus, bet grēciniekus." 18 Un Jāņa mācekļi un farizeji gavēja, un tie nāk un Viņam saka: "Kāpēc Jāņa un farizeju mācekļi gavē, bet Tavi mācekļi negavē?" 19 Un Jēzus uz tiem sacīja: "Kā kāzu ļaudis var gavēt, kamēr līgavainis ir pie tiem? Kamēr līgavainis ir pie viņiem, tie nevar gavēt. 20 Bet nāks dienas, kad līgavainis no tiem taps atņemts, tad tie gavēs tanīs dienās. 21 Neviens nešuj jaunas vadmalas ielāpu uz vecām drēbēm, citādi ielāps no tām noplīst, jaunais no vecām drēbēm, un plīsums top lielāks. 22 Un neviens jaunu vīnu nelej vecos ādas traukos; citādi vīns traukus pārplēš, un vīns un trauki iet bojā." Bet jauns vīns jālej jaunos traukos. 23 Un notika, Viņam sabatā pa labību ejot, Viņa mācekļi, pa ceļu iedami, sāka plūkt vārpas. 24 Un farizeji Viņam sacīja: "Raugi, ko tie dara sabatā, kas nav ļauts?" 25 Un Viņš uz tiem saka: "Vai jūs nekad neesat lasījuši, ko Dāvids darījis, kad viņu spieda trūkums un tas bija izsalcis pats un tie, kas bija pie viņa? 26 Kā tas iegāja Dieva namā augstā priestera Abjatāra laikā un ēda skatāmās maizes, ko ēst nav atļauts - kā tik vien priesteriem, un deva arī tiem, kas pie viņa bija." 27 Un Viņš uz tiem sacīja: "Sabats ir celts cilvēka dēļ un ne cilvēks sabata dēļ. 28 Tā nu Cilvēka Dēls ir kungs arī pār sabatu."
