Mark 2 — Scripture text (King James Version)
And again he entered into , after some days; and it was noised that he was in the house. And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached unto them. And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four. And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay. When saw their , he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee. But there were certain of the sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only? And immediately when perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts? Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk? But that ye may know that the hath power earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house. And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it this fashion. And he went forth again by the sea side; and all the multitude resorted unto him, and he taught them.

No man also seweth a piece of new cloth an old garment: else the new piece that filled it up taketh away from the old, and the rent is made worse. And no man putteth new wine into old bottles: else the new wine doth burst the bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles will be marred: but new wine must be into new bottles. And it came to pass, that he went through the corn fields the day; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of corn. And the said unto him, Behold, why do they the day that which is not lawful? And he said unto them, Have ye never read what did, when he had need, and was an hungred, he, and they that were with him? How he went into the house of God in the days of the high priest, and did eat the shewbread, which is not lawful to eat but for the priests, and gave also to them which were with him?
