Mark 2

Authored by: American Standard Version
2:1
Και εισελθων παλιν εις Καφαρναουμ δι ημερων ηκουσθη οτι εν οικω εστιν
And when he entered again into Capernaum after some days, it was noised that he was in the house.
2:2
και συνηχθησαν πολλοι ωστε μηκετι χωρειν μηδε τα προς την θυραν και ελαλει αυτοις τον λογον
And many were gathered together, so that there was no longer room for them, no, not even about the door: and he spake the word unto them.
2:3
Και ερχονται φεροντες προς αυτον παραλυτικον αιρομενον υπο τεσσαρων
And they come, bringing unto him a man sick of the palsy, borne of four.
2:4
και μη δυναμενοι προσενεγκαι αυτω δια τον οχλον απεστεγασαν την στεγην οπου ην και εξορυξαντες χαλωσι τον κραβαττον οπου ο παραλυτικος κατεκειτο
And when they could not come nigh unto him for the crowd, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed whereon the sick of the palsy lay.
1
2:5
Και ιδων ο Ιησους την πιστιν αυτων λεγει τω παραλυτικω Τεκνον αφιενται σου αι αμαρτιαι
And Jesus seeing their faith saith unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins are forgiven.
2:6
Ησαν δε τινες των γραμματεων εκει καθημενοι και διαλογιζομενοι εν ταις καρδιαις αυτων
But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
2:7
Τι ουτος ουτως λαλει βλασφημει τις δυναται αφιεναι αμαρτιας ει μη εις ο Θεος
Why doth this man thus speak? he blasphemeth: who can forgive sins but one, even God?
2:8
Και ευθυς επιγνους ο Ιησους τω πνευματι αυτου οτι ουτως διαλογιζονται εν εαυτοις λεγει αυτοις Τι ταυτα διαλογιζεσθε εν ταις καρδιαις υμων
And straightway Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, saith unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?
2:9
τι εστιν ευκοπωτερον ειπειν τω παραλυτικω Αφιενται σου αι αμαρτιαι η ειπειν Εγειρε και αρον τον κραβαττον σου και περιπατει
Which is easier, to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins are forgiven; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?
2:10
ινα δε ειδητε οτι εξουσιαν εχει ο Υιος του ανθρωπου αφιεναι αμαρτιας επι της γης λεγει τω παραλυτικω
But that ye may know that the Son of man hath authority on earth to forgive sins (he saith to the sick of the palsy),
2:11
Σοι λεγω εγειρε αρον τον κραβαττον σου και υπαγε εις τον οικον σου
I say unto thee, Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thy house.
2:12
Και ηγερθη και ευθυς αρας τον κραβαττον εξηλθεν εμπροσθεν παντων ωστε εξιστασθαι παντας και δοξαζειν τον Θεον λεγοντας οτι Ουτως ουδεποτε ειδομεν
And he arose, and straightway 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.
2:13
Και εξηλθεν παλιν παρα την θαλασσαν και πας ο οχλος ηρχετο προς αυτον και εδιδασκεν αυτους
And he went forth again by the sea side; and all the multitude resorted unto him, and he taught them.
2:14
Και παραγων ειδεν Λευιν τον του Αλφαιου καθημενον επι το τελωνιον και λεγει αυτω Ακολουθει μοι και αναστας ηκολουθησεν αυτω
And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphæus sitting at the place of toll, and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him.
2:15
Και γινεται κατακεισθαι αυτον εν τη οικια αυτου και πολλοι τελωναι και αμαρτωλοι συνανεκειντο τω Ιησου και τοις μαθηταις αυτου ησαν γαρ πολλοι και ηκολουθουν αυτω
And it came to pass, that he was sitting at meat in his house, and many publicans and sinners sat down with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him.
2:16
και οι γραμματεις των Φαρισαιων ιδοντες οτι εσθιει μετα των αμαρτωλων και τελωνων ελεγον τοις μαθηταις αυτου Οτι μετα των τελωνων και αμαρτωλων εσθιει
And the scribes of the Pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with the sinners and publicans, said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?
2:17
Και ακουσας ο Ιησους λεγει αυτοις οτι Ου χρειαν εχουσιν οι ισχυοντες ιατρου αλλ οι κακως εχοντες ουκ ηλθον καλεσαι δικαιους αλλα αμαρτωλους
And when Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of a physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.
2:18
Και ησαν οι μαθηται Ιωαννου και οι Φαρισαιοι νηστευοντες και ερχονται και λεγουσιν αυτω Δια τι οι μαθηται Ιωαννου και οι μαθηται των Φαρισαιων νηστευουσιν οι δε σοι μαθηται ου νηστευουσιν
And John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting: and they come and say unto him, Why do John’s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not?
2:19
Και ειπεν αυτοις ο Ιησους Μη δυνανται οι υιοι του νυμφωνος εν ω ο νυμφιος μετ αυτων εστιν νηστευειν οσον χρονον εχουσιν τον νυμφιον μετ αυτων ου δυνανται νηστευειν
And Jesus said unto them, Can the sons of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? as long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.
2:20
ελευσονται δε ημεραι οταν απαρθη απ αυτων ο νυμφιος και τοτε νηστευσουσιν εν εκεινη τη ημερα
But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then will they fast in that day.
2:21
Ουδεις επιβλημα ρακους αγναφου επιραπτει επι ιματιον παλαιον ει δε μη αιρει το πληρωμα απ αυτου το καινον του παλαιου και χειρον σχισμα γινεται
No man seweth a piece of undressed cloth on an old garment: else that which should fill it up taketh from it, the new from the old, and a worse rent is made.
2:22
Και ουδεις βαλλει οινον νεον εις ασκους παλαιους ει δε μη ρηξει ο οινος τους ασκους και ο οινος απολλυται και οι ασκοι αλλα οινον νεον εις ασκους καινους
And no man putteth new wine into old wine-skins; else the wine will burst the skins, and the wine perisheth, and the skins: but they put new wine into fresh wine-skins.
2:23
Και εγενετο αυτον εν τοις σαββασιν παραπορευεσθαι δια των σποριμων και οι μαθηται αυτου ηρξαντο οδον ποιειν τιλλοντες τους σταχυας
And it came to pass, that he was going on the sabbath day through the grainfields; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears.
2:24
και οι Φαρισαιοι ελεγον αυτω Ιδε τι ποιουσιν τοις σαββασιν ο ουκ εξεστιν
And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful?
2:25
Και λεγει αυτοις Ουδεποτε ανεγνωτε τι εποιησεν Δαυιδ οτε χρειαν εσχεν και επεινασεν αυτος και οι μετ αυτου
And he said unto them, Did ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was hungry, he, and they that were with him?
2:26
πως εισηλθεν εις τον οικον του Θεου επι Αβιαθαρ αρχιερεως και τους αρτους της προθεσεως εφαγεν ους ουκ εξεστιν φαγειν ει μη τους ιερεις και εδωκεν και τοις συν αυτω ουσιν
How he entered into the house of God when Abiathar was high priest, and ate the showbread, which it is not lawful to eat save for the priests, and gave also to them that were with him?
2:27
Και ελεγεν αυτοις Το σαββατον δια τον ανθρωπον εγενετο και ουχ ο ανθρωπος δια το σαββατον
And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:
2:28
ωστε κυριος εστιν ο Υιος του ανθρωπου και του σαββατου
so that the Son of man is lord even of the sabbath.

Friends digging through a roof

Friends dig through a roof to lower a paralyzed man down to Jesus rather than waiting for the crowd to clear. Does the text credit the healing to the sick man's own faith, or specifically to the persistence of the friends who brought him?
