1A few days later Jesus went to Capernaum again, and the people heard that he was at home.[#2:1 later Jesus went to Capernaum again, and ¦ later, when Jesus went to Capernaum again, CT]
2Immediately many were gathered together, so that there was no longer any room, not even at the door, and he was speaking the word to them.[#2:2 Immediately many ¦ Many CT]
3Then some people came to him, bringing a paralytic carried by four men.
4Since they were not able to come near Jesus because of the crowd, they uncovered the roof where he was. After digging through it, they let down the mat on which the paralytic was lying.[#2:4 come near ¦ bring him to CT]
5When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Son, yoʋr sins are forgiven yoʋ.”[#2:5 yoʋ ¦ --- CT]
6Now some of the scribes were sitting there and questioning in their hearts:
7“Why does this man speak such blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”[#2:7 speak such blasphemies? ¦ speak like that? He is blaspheming. CT]
8Immediately Jesus knew in his spirit that they were discussing these questions among themselves, so he said to them, “Why are you questioning these things in your hearts?
9Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Yoʋr sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Rise, take up yoʋr mat, and walk’?[#2:9 forgiven ¦ forgiven yoʋ TR]
10But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins” —he said to the paralytic—
11“I say to yoʋ, rise, pick up yoʋr mat, and go to yoʋr house.”
12So the man immediately rose, picked up his mat, and went out in front of them all, so that they were all amazed and began glorifying God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this!”[#2:12 immediately rose, picked up his mat, ¦ rose and immediately picked up his mat CT]
13Once again Jesus went out by the sea. The entire crowd came to him, and he taught them.
14As he was walking along, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax booth. Jesus said to him, “Follow me,” so Levi rose and followed him.
15Later, as Jesus was reclining at the table in Levi's house, many tax collectors and sinners reclined with him and his disciples, for there were many who followed him.
16When the scribes and the Pharisees saw Jesus eating with tax collectors and sinners, they said to his disciples, “Why is he eating and drinking with tax collectors and sinners?”[#2:16 and 96.6% ¦ of CT 0.2%; #2:16 tax collectors and sinners 97.7% ¦ sinners and tax collectors CT 0.2%; #2:16 and drinking 92.9% ¦ --- CT 0.7%]
17When Jesus heard this, he said to them, “It is not those who are healthy who have need of a physician, but those who are sick. I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”[#2:17 to repentance ¦ --- CT]
18Now the disciples of John and the disciples of the Pharisees were fasting. So some people came and said to Jesus, “Why do the disciples of John and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but yoʋr disciples do not fast?”[#2:18 the disciples of 92% ¦ --- CT 6.4%]
19Jesus said to them, “Can the bridegroom's attendants fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them they cannot fast.
20But the days are coming when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast in those days.[#2:20 those days ¦ that day CT]
21“No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. Otherwise, the garment's new patch pulls away from the old cloth, and a worse tear is made.[#2:21 the garment's new patch pulls away from the old cloth ¦ the patch pulls away from it, the new from the old CT]

23On the Sabbath Jesus was going through the grainfields, and his disciples began to make their way, plucking heads of grain.
24So the Pharisees said to him, “Behold, why are they doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath?”
25He said to them, “Have you never read what David did when he had need and was hungry, he and those who were with him,
26how he entered the house of God, in the time of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the bread of the Presence, which is not lawful for anyone to eat except for the priests, and how he also gave it to those who were with him?”
27Then he said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.
28So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”
