{Mar 2:1-12 & Mat 9:2-8 & Luk 5:17-26.}
2:1 And he again entered into Capernaum after a few days, and it was heard that he was in a house. 2:2 And immediately many were gathered together, so-then it was no longer possible to make room, not even next to the door, and he was speaking the word to them.
2:3 And they come, carrying to him a paralytic, lifted up by four men.2:4 And not being able to draw near to him because of the crowd, they unroofed the roof where he was. And they shoveleda hole in it, and lower the pallet upon which the paralytic was laying. 2:5 Now Jesus saw their faith {Or: belief; and throughout the N.T.} and says to the paralytic, Child, your sins have been forgiven to you.
2:6 But some of the scribes were sitting there and reasoning in their hearts, 2:7 Why is this man speaking blasphemies so? Who is able to forgive sins except one, our God?
2:8 And immediately Jesus, having fully known in his spirit that they reason so in themselves, said to them, Why are you* reasoning these things in your* hearts? 2:9What is easier to say to the paralytic, Your sins have been forgiven; or to say, Lift yourself up, and take up your pallet and walk? 2:10But in order that you* may know that the Son of Man has authority upon the earth to forgive sins (he says to the paralytic), 2:11I say to you, Lift yourself up, and take up pallet and proceed away to your house.
2:12 And he immediately arose, and having lifted up the pallet, went out in front of them all; so-then for all to be astonished and to glorify God, saying, We never saw this happen so.
{Mar 2:13-14 & Mat 9:9 & Luk 5:27-28 At or near Capernaum.}
2:13 And he went forth again beside the sea, and all the crowd was coming to him and he was teaching them. 2:14 And passing by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax-office, and he says to him, Follow me. And he stood up and followed him.
{Mar 2:15-22 & Mat 9:10-17 & Luk 5:29-39 Capernaum.}

2:17 And after Jesus heard it, he says to them, Those who are strong have no need of a physician, but those who are ill. I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
2:18 And the disciples of John, and those of the Pharisees, were fasting, and they come and say to him, Why do the disciples of John and those of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?
2:19 And Jesus said to them, Thesons of the bridal-party{companions or guests} are not able to fast at which time the bridegroom is with them, are they? Inasmuch time as they have the bridegroom with them, they are not able to fast. 2:20But the days will come, whenever the bridegroom is taken away from them and then they will be fasting in those days. 2:21And no one sews a patch of unshrunk fabric upon an old garment; otherwise its fullness shrinks and lifts the new patch away from the old one and a worse split happens.2:22And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the wine will burst the wineskins, and the wine is poured out and the wineskins will be destroyed, but put new wine into new wineskins.
