Chúa Chữa Lành Người Bại(A)
2 Mấy ngày sau, Đức Giê-su trở lại thành Ca-pha-na-um. Nghe tin Ngài ở nhà, 2 dân chúng kéo về đông đảo đến nỗi ngoài cửa cũng không còn chỗ và Ngài dạy đạo cho họ. 3 Có bốn người khiêng một người bại liệt đến cho Ngài. 4 Vì quá đông họ không thể đến gần, nên dỡ mái nhà ngay trên chỗ Ngài, và khi đã dỡ được một lỗ trống họ dòng cái cáng đưa người bại liệt xuống. 5 Thấy đức tin của họ, Đức Giê-su bảo người bại: “Này con, tội lỗi con đã được tha.”
6 Mấy giáo sư Kinh Luật ngồi đó lý luận trong lòng: 7 “Tại sao ông này nói vậy? Phạm thượng quá! Ngoài Đức Chúa Trời không ai có quyền tha tội!”
8 Lập tức, tâm trí[a] Đức Giê-su nhận biết ngay họ đang lý luận thầm như vậy nên phán: “Tại sao các ông lý luận trong lòng như thế? 9 Bảo rằng: ‘Tội con đã được tha,’ hay là: ‘Hãy đứng dậy mang cáng con về đi,’ điều nào dễ hơn? 10 Nhưng để các ông biết trên thế gian Con Người có quyền tha tội, Ngài bảo kẻ bại liệt: 11 ‘Này con, hãy đứng dậy mang cáng con về nhà.’ ” 12 Người bại liệt liền đứng dậy mang cáng đi ra trước mắt mọi người đến nỗi ai nấy đều ngạc nhiên và tôn vinh Đức Chúa Trời: “Chúng ta chưa bao giờ thấy việc như thế này.”
Chúa Gọi Lê-vi(B)
13 Đức Giê-su lại đi ra dọc bờ biển, cả đám đông kéo đến với Ngài và Ngài dạy bảo họ. 14 Thế rồi, đang khi đi, Ngài thấy Lê-vi con An-phê ngồi tại trạm thu thuế, thì bảo: “Hãy theo Ta.” Người đứng dậy theo Ngài.
15 Sau đó Đức Giê-su ngồi ăn tại nhà Lê-vi, có nhiều người thu thuế và những kẻ bị coi là tội nhân cùng ngồi ăn với Ngài và môn đệ, vì nhiều người đã theo Ngài. 16 Các giáo sư Kinh Luật thuộc phái Pha-ri-si thấy Ngài ăn chung với những người thu thuế và những kẻ tội lỗi[b] nên nói với các môn đệ Ngài: “Tại sao ông ấy ăn uống chung với bọn thu thuế và kẻ tội lỗi?”
17 Khi nghe điều đó, Đức Giê-su đáp: “Không phải người mạnh khỏe cần thầy thuốc, mà là người đau ốm; Ta đến không phải để kêu gọi người công chính nhưng gọi kẻ tội lỗi.”
Vấn Đề Lệ Kiêng Ăn(C)
18 Đang khi các môn đệ của Giăng và những người Pha-ri-si vẫn giữ lệ kiêng ăn, có người đến hỏi Ngài: “Tại sao môn đệ của Giăng và môn đệ của người Pha-ri-si đều kiêng ăn, còn môn đệ của Thầy lại không?”
19 Đức Giê-su đáp: “Có thể nào các chàng phụ rể[c] kiêng ăn khi chàng rể còn ở với họ? Bao lâu chàng rể còn ở với họ, bấy lâu họ khỏi phải kiêng ăn. 20 Đến khi chàng rể đi rồi, lúc ấy họ mới kiêng.
21 Không ai vá miếng vải mới vào áo cũ, vì miếng vải mới sẽ chằng rách áo cũ, và chỗ rách sẽ càng tệ hơn. 22 Cũng không ai đổ rượu mới vào bầu da cũ, nếu vậy rượu sẽ làm nứt bầu, rượu chảy hết mà bầu cũng hỏng. Rượu mới phải đổ vào bầu da mới.”
Chúa Của Ngày Sa-bát(D)
23 Một ngày Sa-bát kia Đức Giê-su đi ngang qua cánh đồng lúa mì. Đang khi đi các môn đệ bắt đầu bứt vài bông lúa. 24 Mấy người Pha-ri-si nói với Ngài: “Kìa! Sao họ dám phạm luật trong ngày Sa-bát?”
25 Ngài đáp: “Các ông chưa bao giờ đọc đến chuyện vua Đa-vít đã làm trong khi vua và toán thuộc hạ lâm cảnh thiếu thốn và đói sao? 26 Thể nào, vào thời thầy thượng tế A-bi-tha, vua vào nhà thờ Đức Chúa Trời ăn bánh trưng bày trên bàn thờ,[d] là bánh không ai được phép ăn ngoài các thầy tế lễ, và lại còn phân phát cho những người theo mình nữa.”
27 Rồi Ngài bảo họ: “Ngày Sa-bát được thiết lập cho nhân loại chứ không phải nhân loại cho ngày Sa-bát. 28 Thế thì Con Người chính là Chúa của ngày Sa-bát.”
Mark 2
New King James Version
Jesus Forgives and Heals a Paralytic(A)
2 And again (B)He entered Capernaum after some days, and it was heard that He was in the house. 2 [a]Immediately many gathered together, so that there was no longer room to receive them, not even near the door. And He preached the word to them. 3 Then they came to Him, bringing a (C)paralytic who was carried by four men. 4 And when they could not come near Him because of the crowd, they uncovered the roof where He was. So when they had broken through, they let down the bed on which the paralytic was lying.
5 When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.”
6 And some of the scribes were sitting there and reasoning in their hearts, 7 “Why does this Man speak blasphemies like this? (D)Who can forgive sins but God alone?”
8 But immediately, when Jesus perceived in His spirit that they reasoned thus within themselves, He said to them, “Why do you reason about these things in your hearts? 9 (E)Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Arise, take up your bed and walk’? 10 But that you may know that the Son of Man has [b]power on earth to forgive sins”—He said to the paralytic, 11 “I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.” 12 Immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went out in the presence of them all, so that all were amazed and (F)glorified God, saying, “We never saw anything like this!”
Matthew the Tax Collector(G)
13 (H)Then He went out again by the sea; and all the multitude came to Him, and He taught them. 14 (I)As He passed by, He saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax office. And He said to him, (J)“Follow Me.” So he arose and (K)followed Him.
15 (L)Now it happened, as He was dining in Levi’s house, that many tax collectors and sinners also sat together with Jesus and His disciples; for there were many, and they followed Him. 16 And when the scribes [c]and Pharisees saw Him eating with the tax collectors and sinners, they said to His disciples, “How is it that He eats and drinks with tax collectors and sinners?”
17 When Jesus heard it, He said to them, (M)“Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, [d]to repentance.”
Jesus Is Questioned About Fasting(N)
18 (O)The disciples of John and of the Pharisees were fasting. Then they came and said to Him, “Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but Your disciples do not fast?”
19 And Jesus said to them, “Can the [e]friends of the bridegroom 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 will be (P)taken away from them, and then they will fast in those days. 21 No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; or else the new piece pulls away from the old, and the tear is made worse. 22 And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine bursts the wineskins, the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined. But new wine must be put into new wineskins.”
Jesus Is Lord of the Sabbath(Q)
23 (R)Now it happened that He went through the grainfields on the Sabbath; and as they went His disciples began (S)to pluck the heads of grain. 24 And the Pharisees said to Him, “Look, why do they do what is (T)not lawful on the Sabbath?”
25 But He said to them, “Have you never read (U)what David did when he was in need and hungry, he and those with him: 26 how he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the showbread, (V)which is not lawful to eat except for the priests, and also gave some to those who were with him?”
27 And He said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the (W)Sabbath. 28 Therefore (X)the Son of Man is also Lord of the Sabbath.”
Mark 2
English Standard Version
Jesus Heals a Paralytic
2 And when he returned to (A)Capernaum after some days, it was reported that he was at home. 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 (B)And they came, bringing to him a paralytic carried by four men. 4 And when they could not get near him because of the crowd, (C)they removed the roof above him, and when they had made an opening, they let down the bed on which the paralytic lay. 5 And when Jesus (D)saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Son, (E)your sins are forgiven.” 6 Now some of the scribes were sitting there, questioning in their hearts, 7 “Why does this man speak like that? (F)He is blaspheming! (G)Who can forgive sins but God alone?” 8 And immediately Jesus, (H)perceiving in his spirit that they thus questioned within themselves, said to them, “Why do you question these things in your hearts? 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 (I)the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he said to the paralytic— 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 (J)glorified God, saying, “We never saw anything like this!”
Jesus Calls Levi
13 He went out again beside the sea, and (K)all the crowd was coming to him, and he was teaching them. 14 (L)And as he passed by, he saw (M)Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax booth, and he said to him, “Follow me.” And he rose and followed him.
15 And as he reclined at table in his house, many (N)tax collectors and sinners were reclining with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many who followed him. 16 And (O)the scribes of[a] the Pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with sinners and tax collectors, said to his disciples, (P)“Why does he eat[b] with tax collectors and sinners?” 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. (Q)I came not to call the righteous, (R)but sinners.”
A Question About Fasting
18 Now (S)John's disciples and the Pharisees were fasting. And people came and said to him, (T)“Why do John's disciples and (U)the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?” 19 And Jesus said to them, (V)“Can the wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast. 20 (W)The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and (X)then they will fast in that day. 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 (Y)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.”[c]
Jesus Is Lord of the Sabbath
23 (Z)One Sabbath he was going through the grainfields, and as they made their way, his disciples (AA)began to pluck heads of grain. 24 And the Pharisees were saying to him, “Look, (AB)why are they doing (AC)what is not lawful on the Sabbath?” 25 And he said to them, (AD)“Have you never read (AE)what David did, when he was in need and was hungry, he and those who were with him: 26 how he entered the house of God, in the time of[d] (AF)Abiathar the high priest, and ate (AG)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?” 27 And he said to them, (AH)“The Sabbath was made for man, (AI)not man for the Sabbath. 28 So (AJ)the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath.”
