And they went into Capernaum.
As soon as the Sabbath began,
he went into the synagogue and started to teach.
And they were astounded at his way of teaching,
for he was teaching them as one having authority,
and not as the scribes.
Just then there was a man in their synagogue
who was under the power of an unclean spirit.
So that you may marvel.
What have we to do with you,
Jesus the Nazarene?
Did you come to destroy us?
I know exactly who you are,
the Holy One of God!
Be silent,
and come out of him!
And the unclean spirit,
after throwing the man into a convulsion
and yelling at the top of its voice,
came out of him.
Well, the people were all so astonished
that they began to discuss it among themselves.
What is this?
A new teaching!
He authoritatively orders
even the unclean spirits,
and they obey him.
So the report about him
spread quickly in all directions
throughout the entire region of Galilee.
It’s a miracle.
At that they left the synagogue
and went to the home of Simon and Andrew
with James and John.
Now Simon’s mother-in-law
was suffering with a high fever,
and they asked him to help her.
So he stood over her . . .
Great fever.
. . . and rebuked the fever, . . .
Come out of her.
. . . and it left her.
Instantly she got up
and began ministering to them.
But when the sun was setting,
all those who had people sick with various diseases
brought them to him.
Rabbi.
Please come out, Rabbi.
Please!
By laying his hands on each one of them,
he cured them,
in order to fulfill what was spoken
through Isaiah the prophet:
“He himself took our sicknesses and carried our diseases.”
Demons also came out of many, crying out:
You are the Son of God.
Be silent.
Come out of him.
But rebuking them,
he would not permit them to speak,
for they knew him to be the Christ.
Early in the morning, while it was still dark,
he got up and went outside
and left for an isolated place,
and there he began praying.
Teacher.
Teacher, please come out.
Please come out, please.
Please.
Where is he?
Where is the Teacher?
Please.
Where is he?
However, Simon and those with him hunted him down
and found him.
Everyone is looking for you.
Let us go somewhere else,
into the towns nearby,
so that I may preach there also,
for this is why I have come.
Then he went throughout the whole of Galilee,
teaching in their synagogues
and preaching the good news of the Kingdom
and curing every sort of disease
and every sort of infirmity among the people.
And the report about him spread throughout all Syria,
and they brought him all those who were suffering
with various diseases and torments,
those who were demon-possessed
and epileptic and paralyzed,
and he cured them.
Come out of her!
You are free.
Consequently, large crowds followed him
from Galilee and Decapolis
and Jerusalem and Judea
and from the other side of the Jordan.
Leper!
What?
Stay away!
Leper!
There also came to him a leper,
pleading with him even on bended knee.
If you just want to,
you can make me clean.
At that he was moved with pity,
and he stretched out his hand
and touched him.
I want to!
Be made clean.
Immediately the leprosy vanished from him,
and he became clean.
Then he gave him strict orders
and at once sent him away.
See that you say nothing to anyone,
but go show yourself to the priest
and offer for your cleansing the things Moses directed,
for a witness to them.
But after going away,
the man started to proclaim it a great deal
and to spread the account widely,
so that Jesus was no longer able
to enter openly into a city,
but he stayed outside in isolated places.
Yet they kept coming to him from all sides.
However, he often went into the desolate areas to pray.
After some days
he again entered into Capernaum,
and the word spread that he was at home.
And so many gathered that there was no more room,
not even around the door,
and he began to speak the word to them.
And they brought him a paralytic carried by four men.
But they could not bring him right to Jesus
because of the crowd, . . .
Most truly I say to you, the hour is coming,
and it is now,
when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of—
when the dead—
. . . so they removed the roof above Jesus,
and after digging an opening,
they lowered the stretcher on which the paralytic was lying.
Untie him.
When Jesus saw their faith,
he said to the paralytic:
Child,
your sins are forgiven.
Now some of the scribes were there,
sitting and reasoning in their hearts:
Why is this man talking this way?
He is blaspheming.
Who can forgive sins except one, God?
But immediately Jesus discerned by his spirit
that they were reasoning that way among themselves,
so he said to them:
Why are you reasoning these things in your hearts?
Which is easier, to say to the paralytic,
“Your sins are forgiven,”
or to say, “Get up and pick up your stretcher and walk”?
But in order for you to know
that the Son of man has authority
to forgive sins on earth—
I say to you,
Get up, pick up your stretcher,
and go to your home.
At that he got up
and immediately picked up his stretcher
and walked out in front of them all.
So they were all astonished,
and they glorified God, saying:
“We have never seen anything like this.”
Again he went out alongside the sea,
and all the crowd kept coming to him,
and he began to teach them.
Next, while moving on from there,
Jesus caught sight of a man named Matthew
sitting at the tax office,
and he said to him:
Be my follower.
At that he rose up and followed him.
Later he was dining in his house,
and many tax collectors and sinners
were dining with Jesus and his disciples,
for there were many of them who were following him.
But when the scribes of the Pharisees
saw that he was eating
with the sinners and tax collectors,
they began saying to his disciples:
Does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?
Those who are strong do not need a physician,
but those who are ill do.
Go, then, and learn what this means:
“I want mercy,
and not sacrifice.”
I have come to call, not righteous people,
but sinners
to repentance.
Then John’s disciples came to him and asked:
Why do we and the Pharisees practice fasting
but your disciples do not fast?
The friends of the bridegroom
have no reason to mourn as long as the bridegroom
is with them, do they?
Whoever has the bride
is the bridegroom.
But the friend of the bridegroom,
when he stands and hears him,
has a great deal of joy
on account of the voice of the bridegroom.
But days will come
when the bridegroom will be taken away from them,
and then they will fast.
Nobody sews a patch of unshrunk cloth
on an old outer garment,
for the new piece pulls away from the garment
and the tear becomes worse.
Nor do people put new wine
into old wineskins.
If they do, then the wineskins burst
and the wine spills out
and the wineskins are ruined.
But people put new wine into new wineskins,
and both are preserved.
No one after drinking old wine wants new,
for he says, “The old is nice.”
So he went on preaching in the synagogues of Judea.
After this there was a festival of the Jews,
and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
Now in Jerusalem at the Sheep Gate is a pool
called in Hebrew Bethzatha,
with five colonnades.
Within these a multitude of the sick,
blind, lame,
and those with withered limbs were lying down.
But one man was there who had been sick for 38 years.
Seeing this man lying there
and being aware
that he had already been sick for a long time,
Jesus said to him:
Do you want to get well?
Sir, I do not have anyone to put me into the pool
when the water is stirred up,
but while I am on my way,
another steps down ahead of me.
Get up!
Pick up your mat and walk.
And the man immediately got well,
and he picked up his mat and began to walk.
That day was the Sabbath.
So the Jews began to say to the cured man:
It is the Sabbath,
and it is not lawful for you to carry the mat.
The same one who made me well said to me,
“Pick up your mat and walk.”
Who is the man who told you,
“Pick it up and walk”?
But the healed man did not know who he was,
for Jesus had slipped away
into the crowd that was there.
After this Jesus found him in the temple
and said to him:
See, you have become well.
Do not sin anymore,
so that something worse does not happen to you.
The man went away
and told the Jews that it was Jesus
who had made him well.
For this reason the Jews were persecuting Jesus,
because he was doing these things during the Sabbath.
My Father has kept working until now,
and I keep working.
This is why the Jews began seeking
all the more to kill him,
because not only was he breaking the Sabbath
but he was also calling God his own Father,
making himself equal to God.
Most truly I say to you,
the Son cannot do a single thing of his own initiative,
but only what he sees the Father doing.
For whatever things that One does,
these things the Son does also in like manner.
For the Father has affection for the Son
and shows him all the things he himself does,
and he will show him works greater than these,
so that you may marvel.
For just as the Father
raises the dead up and makes them alive,
so the Son also makes alive whomever he wants to.
For the Father judges no one at all,
but he has entrusted all the judging to the Son,
so that all may honor the Son
just as they honor the Father.
Whoever does not honor the Son
does not honor the Father who sent him.
Most truly I say to you,
whoever hears my word
and believes the One who sent me
has everlasting life,
and he does not come into judgment
but has passed over from death to life.
Most truly I say to you,
the hour is coming, and it is now,
when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God,
and those who have paid attention will live.
For just as the Father has life in himself,
so he has granted also to the Son
to have life in himself.
And he has given him authority to do judging,
because he is the Son of man.
Do not be amazed at this,
for the hour is coming
in which all those in the memorial tombs
will hear his voice and come out,
those who did good things to a resurrection of life,
and those who practiced vile things
to a resurrection of judgment.
I cannot do a single thing of my own initiative.
Just as I hear, I judge,
and my judgment is righteous because I seek,
not my own will,
but the will of him who sent me.
If I alone bear witness about myself,
my witness is not true.
There is another who bears witness about me,
and I know that the witness he bears about me is true.
You have sent men to John,
and he has borne witness to the truth.
However, I do not accept the witness from man,
but I say these things so that you may be saved.
That man was a burning and shining lamp,
and for a short time you were willing
to rejoice greatly in his light.
But I have the witness greater than that of John,
for the very works that my Father
assigned me to accomplish,
these works that I am doing,
bear witness that the Father sent me.
And the Father who sent me has himself
borne witness about me.
You have neither heard his voice at any time
nor seen his form,
and you do not have his word residing in you,
because you do not believe the very one whom he sent.
You are searching the Scriptures because you think
that you will have everlasting life by means of them;
and these are the very ones
that bear witness about me.
And yet you do not want to come to me
so that you may have life.
I do not accept glory from men,
but I well know
that you do not have the love of God in you.
I have come in the name of my Father,
but you do not receive me.
If someone else came in his own name,
you would receive that one.
How can you believe,
when you are accepting glory from one another
and you are not seeking the glory
that is from the only God?
Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father;
there is one who accuses you,
Moses,
in whom you have put your hope.
In fact, if you believed Moses,
you would believe me, for he wrote about me.
But if you do not believe his writings,
how will you believe what I say?
Now as he was passing through
the grainfields on the Sabbath,
his disciples started
to pluck the heads of grain as they went.
Look here!
Why are they doing what is not lawful on the Sabbath?
Have you never read what David did
when he was in need
and he and the men with him were hungry?
How, in the account about Abiathar the chief priest,
he entered into the house of God
and ate the loaves of presentation,
which it is not lawful
for anybody to eat except the priests,
and he also gave some to the men who were with him?
Or have you not read in the Law
that on the Sabbaths the priests in the temple
violate the Sabbath and continue guiltless?
But I tell you that something greater
than the temple is here.
However, if you had understood what this means,
“I want mercy and not sacrifice,”
you would not have condemned the guiltless ones.
The Sabbath came into existence for the sake of man,
and not man for the sake of the Sabbath.
So the Son of man
is Lord even of the Sabbath.
On another sabbath
he entered the synagogue and began teaching.
And a man was there whose right hand was withered.
The scribes and the Pharisees
were now watching Jesus closely
to see whether he would cure on the Sabbath, . . .
Is it lawful to cure on the Sabbath?
. . . in order to find some way to accuse him.
He said to the man with the withered hand:
Get up and come to the center.
Is it lawful on the Sabbath
to do good or to do harm,
to save a life or to kill?
But they kept silent.
If you have one sheep
and that sheep falls into a pit on the Sabbath,
is there a man among you
who will not grab hold of it and lift it out?
How much more valuable is a man than a sheep!
So it is lawful to do a fine thing on the Sabbath.
Stretch out your hand.
And he stretched it out,
and it was restored sound like the other hand.
At that the Pharisees went out
and immediately began holding council
with the party followers of Herod against him,
in order to kill him.
But Jesus departed for the sea
along with his disciples,
and a great multitude from Galilee
and from Judea followed him.
Even from Jerusalem and from Idumea
and from across the Jordan
and from around Tyre and Sidon,
a great multitude came to him
when they heard about the many things he was doing.
And he told his disciples
to have a small boat ready for him
so that the crowd would not press in on him.
Because he cured many,
all those who had serious diseases
were crowding around him to touch him.
Even the unclean spirits,
whenever they saw him,
would fall down before him and cry out and say:
“You are the Son of God.”
But many times he sternly ordered them
not to make him known
in order to fulfill what was spoken
through Isaiah the prophet, who said:
“Look!
“My servant whom I chose,
“my beloved, whom I have approved!
“I will put my spirit upon him,
“and what justice is he will make clear to the nations.
“He will not quarrel nor cry aloud,
“nor will anyone hear his voice in the main streets.
“No bruised reed will he crush,
“and no smoldering wick will he extinguish,
“until he brings justice with success.
Indeed, in his name nations will hope.”
On one of those days
he went out to the mountain to pray,
and he spent the whole night in prayer to God.
And when it became day,
he called his disciples to him
and chose from among them 12,
whom he also named apostles.
And the group of 12 that he formed
were Simon,
to whom he also gave the name Peter,
James the son of Zebedee
and John the brother of James
(he also gave these the name Boanerges,
which means “Sons of Thunder”),
Andrew,
Philip,
Bartholomew,
Matthew,
Thomas,
James the son of Alphaeus,
Thaddaeus,
Simon the Cananaean,
and Judas Iscariot,
who later betrayed him.
