A, i a ia i tomo ai ano ki Kaperenauma i etahi ra mai, ka rangona kei te whare ia.

Na ka hui mai te tini o te tangata, kahore rawa he wahi e o ai ratou, hore rawa i te taha o te kuwaha; a ka korerotia e ia te kupu ki a ratou.

Ka haere mai hoki etahi, ka kawe mai i tetahi pararutiki ki a ia, tokowha ki te kauhoa.

A, te taea te whakatata ki a ia i te mano hoki, ka pokaia te tuanui o te wahi i noho ai ia: a, ka oti te wawahi, ka tukua iho te moenga i takoto ai te pararutiki.

A, no te kitenga o Ihu i to ratou whakapono, ka mea ia ki te pararutiki, E tama, ka oti ou hara te muru.

Na i reira etahi o nga karaipi e noho ana, e whakaaroaro ana i roto i o ratou ngakau,

He aha enei kupu kohukohu a tenei tangata? ko wai hei muru hara, kotahi tonu ko te Atua anake?

Na mohio tonu a Ihu i roto i tona wairua, e penei ana o ratou whakaaro i roto i a ratou, a ka mea ia ki a ratou, He aha koutou ka whakaaroaro ai i enei mea i roto i o koutou ngakau?

Ko tehea te mea takoto noa, ko te mea ki te pararutiki, Ka oti ou hara te muru; ko te mea ranei, Whakatika, tangohia ake tou moenga, haere?

10 Otira, kia matau ai koutou he mana muru hara to te Tama a te tangata i runga i te whenua, ka mea ia ki te pararutiki,

11 Ko taku kupu tenei ki a koe, Whakatika, tangohia ake tou moenga, haere ki tou whare.

12 Na whakatika tonu ake ia, a tangohia ake ana tona moenga, haere atu ana i te aroaro o ratou katoa: no ka miharo ratou katoa ka whakakororia i te Atua, ka mea, Kahore ano tatou i kite noa i te penei.

13 A haere atu ana ia i te taha o te moana; na ka tae te mano katoa ki a ia, a ka whakaakona ratou e ia.

14 A, i ia e haere ana, ka kite ia i a Riwai tama a Arapiu e noho ana i te wahi tango takoha, ka mea ki a ia, Arumia ahau. Na whakatika ana ia, aru ana i a ia,

15 A, i a ia e noho ana i tona whare, he tokomaha nga pupirikana me nga tangata hara e noho tahi ana ki a Ihu ratou ko ana akonga: he tokomaha hoki ratou, a i aru i a ia.

16 A, no te kitenga o nga karaipi a nga Parihi i a ia e kai tahi ana me nga pupirikana, me nga tangata hara, ka mea ki ana akonga, Kei te kai tahi ia, kei te inu tahi me nga pupirikana me nga tangata hara.

17 A, i te rongonga o Ihu, ka mea ia ki a ratou, Kahore he aha o nga tangata ora e meatia ai e te rata, engari o te hunga e mate ana: kihai hoki ahau i haere mai ki te karanga i te hunga tika, engari i te hunga hara.

18 Na kei te nohopuku nga akonga a Hoani ratou ko a nga Parihi: a ka haere mai ratou, ka mea ki a ia, He aha nga akonga a Hoani me a nga Parihi ka nohopuku ai, tena ko au akonga kahore e nohopuku?

19 Na ka mea a Ihu ki a ratou, E ahei ranei nga tama o te whare marena te nohopuku i te mea kei a ratou te tane marena hou? e kore ratou e ahei te nohopuku i nga wa kei a ratou nei te tane marena hou.

20 Na tera e tae mai nga ra e tangohia ai te tane marena hou i a ratou, katahi ratou ka nohopuku i aua ra.

21 E kore e tuia e te tangata tetahi wahi o te kahu hou, hei papaki mo te kahu tawhito; kei riro tetahi wahi o te kahu tawhito i tona whakakapi hou, a ka nui rawa te pakaru.

22 E kore hoki e ringihia e te tangata te waina hou ki nga ipu tawhito: kei pakaru nga ipu i te waina hou, a ka maringi te waina, kore ake nga ipu: engari me riringi te waina hou ki nga ipu hou.

23 A, i a ia e haere ana i waenga witi i te hapati, ka anga ana akonga ka ka kato haere i nga puku witi.

24 Na ka mea nga Parihi ki a ia, Na, he aha ratou ka mahi ai i te mea e kore e tika i te hapati?

25 A ka mea ia ki a ratou, Kahore ano koutou i kite noa i ta Rawiri i mea ai, i a ia e ngaua ana e te hiakai, ratou ko ona hoa?

26 I tona tomokanga ki te whare o te Atua i nga ra o Apiata tohunga nui, a kainga ana e ia nga taro aroaro, nga mea kihai nei i tika kia kainga, ma nga tohunga anake, a hoatu ana e ia ki ona hoa?

27 I mea ano ia ki a ratou, Hei mea mo te tangata te hapati, ehara i te mea ko te tangata mo te hapati,

28 Waihoki ko te Tama a te tangata te Ariki o te hapati.

Jesus Forgives and Heals a Paralyzed Man(A)

A few days later, when Jesus again entered Capernaum, the people heard that he had come home. They gathered in such large numbers(B) that there was no room left, not even outside the door, and he preached the word to them. Some men came, bringing to him a paralyzed man,(C) carried by four of them. Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and then lowered the mat the man was lying on. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”(D)

Now some teachers of the law were sitting there, thinking to themselves, “Why does this fellow talk like that? He’s blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?”(E)

Immediately Jesus knew in his spirit that this was what they were thinking in their hearts, and he said to them, “Why are you thinking these things? Which is easier: to say to this paralyzed man, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up, take your mat and walk’? 10 But I want you to know that the Son of Man(F) has authority on earth to forgive sins.” So he said to the man, 11 “I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home.” 12 He got up, took his mat and walked out in full view of them all. This amazed everyone and they praised God,(G) saying, “We have never seen anything like this!”(H)

Jesus Calls Levi and Eats With Sinners(I)

13 Once again Jesus went out beside the lake. A large crowd came to him,(J) and he began to teach them. 14 As he walked along, he saw Levi son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax collector’s booth. “Follow me,”(K) Jesus told him, and Levi got up and followed him.

15 While Jesus was having dinner at Levi’s house, many tax collectors and sinners were eating with him and his disciples, for there were many who followed him. 16 When the teachers of the law who were Pharisees(L) saw him eating with the sinners and tax collectors, they asked his disciples: “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?”(M)

17 On hearing this, Jesus said to them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”(N)

Jesus Questioned About Fasting(O)

18 Now John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting.(P) Some people came and asked Jesus, “How is it that John’s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees are fasting, but yours are not?”

19 Jesus answered, “How can the guests of the bridegroom fast while he is with them? They cannot, so long as they have him with them. 20 But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them,(Q) and on that day they will fast.

21 “No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. Otherwise, the new piece will pull away from the old, making the tear worse. 22 And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins.”

Jesus Is Lord of the Sabbath(R)(S)

23 One Sabbath Jesus was going through the grainfields, and as his disciples walked along, they began to pick some heads of grain.(T) 24 The Pharisees said to him, “Look, why are they doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?”(U)

25 He answered, “Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need? 26 In the days of Abiathar the high priest,(V) he entered the house of God and ate the consecrated bread, which is lawful only for priests to eat.(W) And he also gave some to his companions.”(X)

27 Then he said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man,(Y) not man for the Sabbath.(Z) 28 So the Son of Man(AA) is Lord even of the Sabbath.”
