Isus iscjeljuje uzetog čovjeka
(Mt 9:1-8; Lk 5:17-26)
1Nekoliko dana nakon toga vrati se u Kafarnaum, a vijest o njegovu dolasku brzo se pročuje gradom. 2U kući u kojoj je boravio okupilo se toliko ljudi da više nije bilo mjesta ni za koga, čak ni pred vratima. A on im je propovijedao Riječ. 3Uto dođu četvorica noseći uzetog čovjeka na nosilima. 4Kako nisu mogli kroz mnoštvo doći do Isusa, načine rupu u glinenom krovu nad njegovom glavom i spuste bolesnika na nosilima ravno pred Isusa. 5Kad Isus vidje njihovu vjeru, reče bolesniku: “Sinko, oprošteni su ti grijesi!”
6Ali neki židovski vjerski vođe koji su ondje sjedili rekoše u sebi: 7“Kako ovaj može tako govoriti! On huli! Tko može opraštati grijehe osim jedinoga Boga!”
8Isus duhom prozre njihove misli pa ih upita: “Zašto to smatrate hulom? 9Što je lakše reći uzetom čovjeku: ‘Grijesi su ti oprošteni’ ili ‘Ustani, uzmi svoja nosila i idi’? 10Dokazat ću vam da ja, Sin Čovječji, imam vlast na zemlji opraštati grijehe.” Okrene se zatim prema uzetome i reče: 11“Zapovijedam ti: ustani, uzmi nosila i idi kući!”
12Čovjek smjesta ustane, uzme nosila i iziđe naočigled mnoštvu. Svi su se divili i slavili Boga govoreći: “Takvo što još nikad nismo vidjeli!”
Isus poziva Levija
(Mt 9:9-13; Lk 5:27-32)
13Isus ponovno ode na obalu jezera. Poučavao je mnoštvo koje se okupilo oko njega. 14Prolazeći tuda, opazi Levija, Alfejeva sina, kako ubire porez te ga pozove: “Pođi sa mnom!” Levi ustane i pođe za njim.
15Dok je Isus poslije bio u kući za stolom, došli su brojni ubirači poreza i grešnici i pridružili se njemu i njegovim učenicima. Mnogo takvih bilo je među onima koji su išli za Isusom. 16No kad neki pismoznanci, farizeji, ugledaju Isusa kako jede s tim ozloglašenim ljudima, kazaše njegovim učenicima: “Zašto vaš učitelj jede s ubiračima poreza i drugim grešnicima?”
17Kad je Isus to čuo, reče im: “Ne treba liječnik zdravima, nego bolesnima. Nisam došao zvati pravednike, već grešnike.”
Rasprava o postu
(Mt 9:14-17; Lk 5:33-39)
18Ivanovi učenici i farizeji povremeno su postili. Jednoga dana neki ljudi dođu Isusu i upitaju ga: “Zašto Ivanovi učenici i farizeji poste, a tvoji učenici ne poste?”
19Isus im odgovori: “Mogu li uzvanici na svadbenoj večeri postiti dok su s mladoženjom? Ne mogu postiti dok je mladoženja s njima. 20Ali doći će dani kada će im ugrabiti mladoženju. Tada će postiti.
21Nitko ne krpa rupe na staroj odjeći zakrpom od još nesmočena platna. Zakrpa bi se skupila, razvukla tkaninu i napravila još veću rupu. 22Nitko ne ulijeva novo vino u stare mjehove jer bi se raspuknuli. Vino bi se prolilo, a mjehovi uništili. Novo se vino lijeva u nove mjehove.”
Rasprava o suboti
(Mt 12:1-8; Lk 6:1-5)
23Jedne su subote Isus i njegovi učenici prolazili poljem usjeva. Učenici počnu putem trgati klasje. 24Farizeji rekoše Isusu: “Zašto čine ono što je subotom zabranjeno? Zakonom je zabranjeno skupljati usjev subotom!”
25Ali Isus im odgovori: “Niste li nikada u Pismu čitali o tomu što je učinio kralj David kad su on i njegovi pratioci u nevolji ogladnjeli? 26Ušao je u Dom Božji 2:26 U Hram. Vidjeti 1 Samuelova 21:1-6. (u to je doba veliki svećenik bio Ebijatar) i jeo prineseni kruh koji je dopušteno jesti samo svećenicima te ga je dao jesti i svojim pratiocima. 27Subota je stvorena radi čovjeka, a ne čovjek radi subote. 28Ja, Sin Čovječji, gospodar sam čak i subote.”
1And again he entered into Capernaum after some days; and it was noised that he was in the house. 2And 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. 3And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four. 4And 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. 5When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee. 6But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, 7Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only? 8And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts? 9Whether 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? 10But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,) 11I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house. 12And 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 on this fashion. 13And he went forth again by the sea side; and all the multitude resorted unto him, and he taught them. 14And 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. 15And it came to pass, that, as Jesus sat at meat in his house, many publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him. 16And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners? 17When 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. 18And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees used to fast: and they come and say unto him, Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not? 19And 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. 20But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days. 21No 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. 22And 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 put into new bottles. 23And 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. 24And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful? 25And he said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was an hungred, he, and they that were with him? 26How 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? 27And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: 28Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
