Markus 2

1 Og nogle Dage derefter gik han atter ind i Capernaum, og der spurgtes, at han var hjemme.2 Og strax forsamledes Mange, saa at de ikke havde Rum, end ikke for Døren; og han talede Ordet til dem.3 Og Nogle kom til ham som bragte en Værkbruden, der blev baaren af Fire.4 Og der de ikke kunde komme nær til ham for Folket, toge de Taget af, hvor han var; og da de havde brudt Hul, lode de Sengen ned, paa hvilken den Værkbrudne laae.5 Men der Jesus saae deres Tro, sagde han til den Værkbrudne: Søn! dine Synder ere dig forladne.6 Men nogle af de skriftkloge sadde der, og de tænkte i deres Hjerter:7 hvi taler denne saadanne Bespottelser? Hvo kan forlade Synder uden Een, det er Gud?8 Og Jesus kjendte strax i sin Aand, at de tænkte saa ved sig selv, og sagde til dem: hvi tænke I saadant i Eders Hjerter?9 Hvilket er lettere, at sige til den Værkbrudne: Synderne ere dig forladne? eller at sige Staa op, og tag din Seng, og vandre?10 Men at I skulle vide, at Menneskens Søn har Magt at forlade Synder paa Jorden, (sagde han til den Værkbrudne):11 jeg siger dig: staa op, og tag din Seng, og gak til dit Huus.12 Og han stod strax op, og tog Sengen, og gik ud for Alles Øine, saa de bleve alle forfærdede og prisede Gud og sagde: vi have aldrig seet Saadant.13 Og han gik ud igjen til Søen, og alt Folket kom til ham, og han lærte dem.14 Og der han gik frem, saae han Levi, Alphæus' Søn, siddende i Toldboden, og sagde til ham: følg mig. Og han stod op og fulgte ham.15 Og det begav sig, der han sad tilbors i hans Huus, satte og mange Toldere og Syndere sig tilbords med Jesus og hans Disciple; thi de vare mange og havde fulgt ham.16 Og der de Skriftkloge og Pharisæerne saae, at han aad med Toldere og Syndere, sagde de til hans Disciple; hvad er det, at han æder og drikker med Toldere, og Syndere?17 Og der Jesus det hørte, sagde han til dem: de karske have ikke Læge behov, men de, som have ondt. Jeg er ikke kommen at kalde retfærdige, men Syndere til Omvendelse.18 Og johannes' Disciple og Pharisæerne fastede, og de kom og sagde til ham: hvorfor faste johannes' Disciple og pharisæernes, men dine Disciple faste ikke?19 Og Jesus sagde til ham: mon Bryllupsfolkene kunne faste, den Stund Brudgommen er hos dem? Saalænge de have brudgommen hos sig, kunne de ikke faste.20 Men de Dage skulle komme, da Brudgommen skal tages fra dem, og da skulle de faste i de Dage.21 Og Ingen bøder et gammelt klædebon med en Klud af nyt Klæde, ellers river den nye Klud noget af det gamle, og Hullet bliver værre.22 Og ingen lader ny Viin i gamle Læderflasker, eller sprænger den nye Viin Læderflaskerne, og Vinen spildes og Læderflaskerne fordærves; men man skal lade ny Viin i nye Læderflasker.23 Og det begav sig, at han vandrede paa Sabbaten gennem Sæden, og hans Disciple begyndte, idet de gik, at plukke Ax.24 Og Pharisæerne sagde til ham: see, hvorfor gjøre de paa Sabbaten, hvad ikke er tilladt?25 Og han sagde til dem: have I aldrig læst hvad David gjorde, der han havde det behov, og selv hungrede og de som vare med ham?26 Hvorledes han gik ind i Guds Huus, da Abiathar var Ypperstepræst, og aad Skuebrødene, hvilke det ikke er Nogen tilladet at æde uden Præsterne, og gav ogsaa dem, som vare med ham?27 Og han sagde til dem: Sabbaten blev til for Menneskets Skyld.28 Saaledes er Menneskens Søn en Herre ogsaa over Sabbaten.

Mark 2

Healing and Forgiving a Paralytic

1 Nowt after some days, when he returned to Capernaum,ss the news spreadt that he was at home.2 So many gathered that there was no longer any room, not even byt the door, and he preached the word to them.3 Some peoplet came bringing to him a paralytic, carried by four of them.t4 When they were not able to bring him in because of the crowd, they removed the roofs above Jesus.t Then,t after tearing it out, they lowered the stretcher the paralytic was lying on.5 When Jesus saw theirs faith, he said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”s6 Now some of the experts in the lawt were sitting there, turning these things over in their minds:t7 “Why does this man speak this way? He is blaspheming!s Who can forgive sins but God alone?”8 Nowt immediately, when Jesus realized in his spirit that they were contemplating such thoughts,t he said to them, “Why are you thinking such things in your hearts?t9 Which is easier,s to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Stand up, take your stretcher, and walk’?10 But so that you may knows that the Son of Mans has authority on earth to forgive sins,” – he said to the paralytics –11 “I tell you, stand up, take your stretcher, and go home.”t

12 And immediately the mant stood up, took his stretcher, and went out in front of them all. They were all amazed and glorified God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this!”

The Call of Levi; Eating with Sinners

13 Jesust went out again by the sea. The whole crowd came to him, and he taught them.14 As he went along, he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, sitting at the tax booth.ts “Follow me,” he said to him. And he got up and followed him.15 As Jesust was having a mealts in Levi’st home, many tax collectorss and sinners were eating with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many who followed him.16 When the experts in the lawt and the Phariseess saw that he was eating with sinners and tax collectors, they said to his disciples, “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?”s

17 When Jesus heard this he said to them, “Those who are healthy don’t need a physician, but those who are sick do.s I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

The Superiority of the New

18 Nowt John’ss disciples and the Phariseess were fasting.s Sot they came to Jesust and said, “Why do the disciples of John and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples don’t fast?”19 Jesust said to them, “The wedding guestst cannot fast while the bridegrooms is with them, can they?t As long as they have the bridegroom with them they do not fast.20 But the days are coming when the bridegroom will be taken from them,s and at that timet they will fast.21 No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; otherwise, the patch pulls away from it, the new from the old, and the tear becomes worse.

22 And no one pours new wine into old wineskins;s otherwise, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the skins will be destroyed. Instead new wine is poured into new wineskins.”s

Lord of the Sabbath

23 Jesust was going through the grain fields on a Sabbath, and his disciples began to pick some heads of wheatt as they made their way.24 Sot the Phariseess said to him, “Look, why are they doing what is against the law on the Sabbath?”25 He said to them, “Have you never read what David did when he was in need and he and his companions were hungry –26 how he entered the house of God when Abiathar was high priestt and ate the sacred bread,ts which is against the laws for any but the priests to eat, and also gave it to his companions?”s27 Thent he said to them, “The Sabbath was made for people,t not people for the Sabbath.

28 For this reason the Son of Man is lordts even of the Sabbath.”
