1 And again he entered into Capernaum after some days; and

ℵB ⟨when he entered again into Capharnaum after some days,⟩

it was noised that he was in the house.

1 Et iterum intravit Capharnaum post dies,

2 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 the word unto them.

2 et auditum est quod in domo esset, et convenerunt multi, ita ut non caperet neque ad januam, et loquebatur eis verbum.

3 And they come unto him, bringing

ℵB ⟨come bringing unto him⟩

one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four.

3 Et venerunt ad eum ferentes paralyticum, qui a quatuor portabatur.

4 And when they could not come nigh

ℵB ⟨bring him⟩

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.

4 Et cum non possent offerre eum illi præ turba, nudaverunt tectum ubi erat: et patefacientes submiserunt grabatum in quo paralyticus jacebat.

5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son

ℵ* ⟨My son⟩

, thy sins be forgiven thee

ℵB omit

.

5 Cum autem vidisset Jesus fidem illorum, ait paralytico: Fili, dimittuntur tibi peccata tua.

6 But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,

6 Erant autem illic quidam de scribis sedentes, et cogitantes in cordibus suis:

7 Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies?

ℵB ⟨thus speak? He blasphemeth.⟩

who can forgive sins but God only?

7 Quid hic sic loquitur? blasphemat. Quis potest dimittere peccata, nisi solus Deus?

8 And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so

reasoned within themselves, he said

ℵB ⟨saith⟩

unto them

B omit

, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?

8 Quo statim cognito Jesus spiritu suo, quia sic cogitarent intra se, dicit illis: Quid ista cogitatis in cordibus vestris?

9 Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee

ℵB omit

; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?

9 Quid est facilius dicere paralytico: Dimittuntur tibi peccata: an dicere: Surge, tolle grabatum tuum, et ambula?

10 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,)

10 Ut autem sciatis quia Filius hominis habet potestatem in terra dimittendi peccata (ait paralytico),

11 I say unto thee, Arise, and

ℵB ⟨Arise, I say unto thee,⟩

take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house.

11 tibi dico: Surge, tolle grabatum tuum, et vade in domum tuam.

12 And immediately he arose,

ℵB ⟨he arose, and immediately⟩

took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying,

B omit

We never saw it on this fashion

ℵ* ⟨It was never so seen in Israel⟩

.

12 Et statim surrexit ille: et, sublato grabato, abiit coram omnibus, ita ut mirarentur omnes, et honorificent Deum, dicentes: Quia numquam sic vidimus.

13 And he went forth again by the sea side

ℵ* ⟨they went forth again to the sea⟩

; and all the multitude resorted unto him

ℵ* ⟨them⟩

, and he taught them.

13 ¶ Et egressus est rursus ad mare, omnisque turba veniebat ad eum, et docebat eos.

14 And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphæus sitting at the receipt of custom, and said unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him.

14 Et cum præteriret, vidit Levi Alphæi sedentem ad telonium, et ait illi: Sequere me. Et surgens secutus est eum.

15 And it came to pass, that, as Jesus sat

ℵB ⟨cometh to pass, that he sitteth⟩

at meat in his house, many

ℵB ⟨and many⟩

publicans and sinners sat also

A ⟨came also and sat⟩

together with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him.

ℵ ⟨there followed him⟩, sentence continues

15 Et factum est, cum accumberet in domo illius, multi publicani et peccatores simul discumbebant cum Jesu et discipulis ejus: erant enim multi, qui et sequebantur eum.

16 And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat

ℵ ⟨Also scribes of the Pharisees, and when they saw that he was eating⟩; B ⟨And when the scribes of the Pharisees saw that he eateth⟩

with publicans and sinners

B ⟨sinners and publicans⟩

eateth and drinketh

with publicans and sinners?

16 Et scribæ et pharisæi videntes quia manducaret cum publicanis et peccatoribus, dicebant discipulis ejus: Quare cum publicanis et peccatoribus manducat et bibit Magister vester?

17 When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance

ℵBA omit

.

17 Hoc audito Jesus ait illis: Non necesse habent sani medico, sed qui male habent: non enim veni vocare justos, sed peccatores.

18 And the disciples of John and of

ℵBA omit

the Pharisees used to fast: and they come and say unto him, Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees

ℵB ⟨and the disciples of the Pharisees⟩; A omit

fast, but thy disciples fast not?

18 Et erant discipuli Joannis et pharisæi jejunantes: et veniunt, et dicunt illi: Quare discipuli Joannis et pharisæorum jejunant, tui autem discipuli non jejunant?

19 And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? as long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.

19 Et ait illis Jesus: Numquid possunt filii nuptiarum, quamdiu sponsus cum illis est, jejunare? Quanto tempore habent secum sponsum, non possunt jejunare.

20 But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days

ℵBA ⟨that day⟩

20 Venient autem dies cum auferetur ab eis sponsus: et tunc jejunabunt in illis diebus.

21 No man also seweth a piece of new cloth on an old garment: else the new piece that filled it up taketh away from the old, and the rent is made worse.

21 Nemo assumentum panni rudis assuit vestimento veteri: alioquin aufert supplementum novum a veteri, et major scissura fit.

22 And no man putteth new wine into old bottles: else the new wine doth burst the bottles

ℵB ⟨the wine shall burst them⟩

, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles will be marred

B ⟨perisheth, and the bottles⟩

: but new wine must be put

ℵ*B ⟨must be put⟩

into new bottles.

22 Et nemo mittit vinum novum in utres veteres: alioquin dirumpet vinum utres, et vinum effundetur, et utres peribunt: sed vinum novum in utres novos mitti debet.

23 And it came to pass, that he went through the corn fields on the sabbath day; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of corn.

23 ¶ Et factum est iterum cum Dominus sabbatis ambularet per sata, et discipuli ejus cœperunt progredi, et vellere spicas.

24 And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful

A ⟨that which is not lawful on the sabbath day⟩

24 Pharisæi autem dicebant ei: Ecce, quid faciunt sabbatis quod non licet?

25 And he said

ℵ ⟨saith⟩

unto them, Have ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was an hungred, he, and they that were with him?

25 Et ait illis: Numquam legistis quid fecerit David, quando necessitatem habuit, et esuriit ipse, et qui cum eo erant?

26 How

he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar 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?

27 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and
