1Et iterum intravit Capharnaum post dies,And after some days, he again entered into Capernaum.
2et auditum est quod in domo esset,And it was heard that he was in the house.et convenerunt multi,And so many gathered that there was no room left,ita ut non caperet neque ad januam,not even at the door.et loquebatur eis verbum.And he spoke the word to them.
3Et venerunt ad eum ferentes paralyticum,And they came to him, bringing a paralytic,qui a quatuor portabatur.who was being carried by four men.
4Et cum non possent offerre eum illi præ turba,And when they were not able to present him to him because of the crowd,nudaverunt tectum ubi erat:they uncovered the roof where he was.et patefacientes submiserunt grabatum in quo paralyticus jacebat.And opening it, they lowered down the stretcher on which the paralytic was lying.
5Cum autem vidisset Jesus fidem illorum,Then, when Jesus had seen their faith,ait paralytico: Fili,he said to the paralytic,dimittuntur tibi peccata tua.“Son, your sins are forgiven you.”
6Erant autem illic quidam de scribis sedentes,But some of the scribes were sitting in that placeet cogitantes in cordibus suis:and thinking in their hearts:
7Quid hic sic loquitur?“Why is this man speaking in this way?blasphemat.He is blaspheming.Quis potest dimittere peccata,Who can forgive sins,nisi solus Deus?but God alone?”
8Quo statim cognito Jesus spiritu suo,At once, Jesus,quia sic cogitarent intra se,realizing in his spirit that they were thinking this within themselves,dicit illis:said to them:Quid ista cogitatis in cordibus vestris?“Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?
9Quid est facilius dicere paralytico:Which is easier, to say to the paralytic,Dimittuntur tibi peccata:‘Your sins are forgiven you,’an dicere:or to say,Surge,‘Rise up,tolle grabatum tuum,take up your stretcher,et ambula?and walk?’
10Ut autem sciatis quia Filius hominis habet potestatem in terra dimittendi peccata (ait paralytico),But so that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins,” he said to the paralytic:
11tibi dico:“I say to you:Surge,Rise up,tolle grabatum tuum,take up your stretcher,et vade in domum tuam.and go into your house.”
12Et statim surrexit ille:And immediately he got up,et, sublato grabato,and lifting up his stretcher,abiit coram omnibus, ita ut mirarentur omnes,he went away in the sight of them all, so that they all wondered.et honorificent Deum,And they honored God, by saying,dicentes: Quia numquam sic vidimus.“We have never seen anything like this.”
13Et egressus est rursus ad mare,And he departed again to the sea.omnisque turba veniebat ad eum,And the entire crowd came to him,et docebat eos.and he taught them.
14Et cum præteriret,And as he was passing by,vidit Levi Alphæi sedentem ad telonium,he saw Levi of Alphaeus, sitting at the customs office.et ait illi:And he said to him,Sequere me.“Follow me.”Et surgens secutus est eum.And rising up, he followed him.
15Et factum est,And it happened that,cum accumberet in domo illius,as he sat at table in his house,multi publicani et peccatores simul discumbebant cum Jesu et discipulis ejus:many tax collectors and sinners sat at table together with Jesus and his disciples.erant enim multi, qui et sequebantur eum.For those who followed him were many.
16Et scribæ et pharisæi videntes quia manducaret cum publicanis et peccatoribus,And the scribes and the Pharisees, seeing that he ate with tax collectors and sinners,dicebant discipulis ejus:said to his disciples,Quare cum publicanis et peccatoribus manducat et bibit Magister vester?“Why does your Teacher eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”
17Hoc audito Jesus ait illis:Jesus, having heard this, said to them:Non necesse habent sani medico,“The healthy have no need of a doctor,sed qui male habent:but those who have maladies do.non enim veni vocare justos,For I came not to call the just,sed peccatores.but sinners.”
18Et erant discipuli Joannis et pharisæi jejunantes:And the disciples of John, and the Pharisees, were fasting.et veniunt, et dicunt illi:And they arrived and said to him,Quare discipuli Joannis et pharisæorum jejunant,“Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast,tui autem discipuli non jejunant?but your disciples do not fast?”
19Et ait illis Jesus:And Jesus said to them:Numquid possunt filii nuptiarum, quamdiu sponsus cum illis est,“How can the sons of the wedding fast while the groom is still with them?jejunare? Quanto tempore habent secum sponsum,During whatever time they have the groom with them,non possunt jejunare.they are not able to fast.
20Venient autem dies cum auferetur ab eis sponsus:But the days will arrive when the groom will be taken away from them,et tunc jejunabunt in illis diebus.and then they shall fast, in those days.
21Nemo assumentum panni rudis assuit vestimento veteri:No one sews a patch of new cloth onto an old garment.alioquin aufert supplementum novum a veteri,Otherwise, the new addition pulls away from the old,et major scissura fit.and the tear becomes worse.
22Et nemo mittit vinum novum in utres veteres:And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise,alioquin dirumpet vinum utres,the wine will burst the wineskins,et vinum effundetur,and the wine will pour out,et utres peribunt:and the wineskins will be lost.sed vinum novum in utres novos mitti debet.Instead, new wine must be put into new wineskins.”
23Et factum est iterum cum Dominus sabbatis ambularet per sata,And again, while the Lord was walking through the ripe grain on the Sabbath, his disciples,et discipuli ejus cœperunt progredi, et vellere spicas.as they advanced, began to separate the ears of grains.
24Pharisæi autem dicebant ei:But the Pharisees said to him,Ecce,“Behold,quid faciunt sabbatis quod non licet?why are they doing what is not lawful on the Sabbaths?”
25Et ait illis: Numquam legistis quid fecerit David,And he said to them: “Have you never read what David did,quando necessitatem habuit,when he had need and was hungry,et esuriit ipse, et qui cum eo erant?both he and those who were with him?
26quomodo introivit in domum Dei sub Abiathar principe sacerdotum,How he went into the house of God, under the high priest Abiathar,et panes propositionis manducavit,and ate the bread of the Presence,quos non licebat manducare,which it was not lawful to eat,nisi sacerdotibus,except for the priests,et dedit eis qui cum eo erant?and how he gave it to those who were with him?”
27Et dicebat eis:And he said to them:Sabbatum propter hominem factum est,“The Sabbath was made for man,et non homo propter sabbatum.and not man for the Sabbath.
28Itaque Dominus est Filius hominis,And so, the Son of man is Lord,etiam sabbati.even of the Sabbath.”
