WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Και μεθ' ημέρας πάλιν εισήλθεν εις Καπερναούμ και ηκούσθη ότι είναι εις οίκον.
1 Y ENTRÓ otra vez en Capernaum después de algunos días, y se oyó que estaba en casa.
1 When he entered again into Capernaum after some days, it was heard that he was at home.
2 Και ευθύς συνήχθησαν πολλοί, ώστε δεν εχώρουν πλέον αυτούς ουδέ τα πρόθυρα· και εκήρυττεν εις αυτούς τον λόγον.
2 Y luego se juntaron á él muchos, que ya no cabían ni aun á la puerta; y les predicaba la palabra.
2 Immediately many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even around the door; and he spoke the word to them.
3 Και έρχονται προς αυτόν φέροντες παραλυτικόν, βασταζόμενον υπό τεσσάρων·
3 Entonces vinieron á él unos trayendo un paralítico, que era traído por cuatro.
3 Four people came, carrying a paralytic to him.
4 και μη δυνάμενοι να πλησιάσωσιν εις αυτόν εξ αιτίας του όχλου, εχάλασαν την στέγην όπου ήτο, και διατρυπήσαντες καταβιβάζουσι τον κράββατον, εφ' ου κατέκειτο ο παραλυτικός.
4 Y como no podían llegar á él á causa del gentío, descubrieron el techo de donde estaba, y haciendo abertura, bajaron el lecho en que yacía el paralítico.
4 When they could not come near to him for the crowd, they removed the roof where he was. When they had broken it up, they let down the mat that the paralytic was lying on.
5 Ιδών δε ο Ιησούς την πίστιν αυτών, λέγει προς τον παραλυτικόν· Τέκνον, συγκεχωρημέναι είναι εις σε αι αμαρτίαι σου.
5 Y viendo Jesús la fe de ellos, dice al paralítico: Hijo, tus pecados te son perdonados.
5 Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.”
6 Ήσαν δε τινές των γραμματέων εκεί καθήμενοι και διαλογιζόμενοι εν ταις καρδίαις αυτών·
6 Y estaban allí sentados algunos de los escribas, los cuales pensando en sus corazones,
6 But there were some of the scribes sitting there and reasoning in their hearts,
7 Διά τι ούτος λαλεί τοιαύτας βλασφημίας; τις δύναται να συγχωρή αμαρτίας ειμή εις, ο Θεός;
7 Decían: ¿Por qué habla éste así? Blasfemias dice. ¿Quién puede perdonar pecados, sino solo Dios?
7 “Why does this man speak blasphemies like that? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”
8 Και ευθύς νοήσας ο Ιησούς διά του πνεύματος αυτού ότι ούτω διαλογίζονται καθ' εαυτούς, είπε προς αυτούς· Διά τι διαλογίζεσθε ταύτα εν ταις καρδίαις σας;
8 Y conociendo luego Jesús en su espíritu que pensaban así dentro de sí mismos, les dijo: ¿Por qué pensáis estas cosas en vuestros corazones?
8 Immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, said to them, “Why do you reason these things in your hearts?
9 τι είναι ευκολώτερον, να είπω προς τον παραλυτικόν, Συγκεχωρημέναι είναι αι αμαρτίαι σου, ή να είπω, Σηκώθητι και έπαρε τον κράββατόν σου και περιπάτει;
9 ¿Qué es más fácil, decir al paralítico: Tus pecados te son perdonados, ó decirle: Levántate, y toma tu lecho y anda?
9 Which is easier, to tell the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven;’ or to say, ‘Arise, and take up your bed, and walk’?
10 αλλά διά να γνωρίσητε ότι έξουσίαν έχει ο Υιός του ανθρώπου επί της γης να συγχωρή αμαρτίας λέγει προς τον παραλυτικόν·
10 Pues para que sepáis que el Hijo del hombre tiene potestad en la tierra de perdonar los pecados, (dice al paralítico):
10 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he said to the paralytic—
11 Προς σε λέγω, Σηκώθητι και έπαρε τον κράββατόν σου και ύπαγε εις τον οίκόν σου.
11 A ti te digo: Levántate, y toma tu lecho, y vete á tu casa.
11 “I tell you, arise, take up your mat, and go to your house.”
12 Και ηγέρθη ευθύς και σηκώσας τον κράββατον, εξήλθεν ενώπιον πάντων, ώστε εξεπλήττοντο πάντες και εδόξαζον τον Θεόν, λέγοντες ότι ουδέποτε είδομεν τοιαύτα.
12 Entonces él se levantó luego, y tomando su lecho, se salió delante de todos, de manera que todos se asombraron, y glorificaron á Dios, diciendo: Nunca tal hemos visto.
12 He arose, and immediately took up the mat and went out in front of them all, so that they were all amazed and glorified God, saying, “We never saw anything like this!”
13 Και εξήλθε πάλιν παρά την θάλασσαν· και πας ο όχλος ήρχετο προς αυτόν, και εδίδασκεν αυτούς.
13 Y volvió á salir á la mar, y toda la gente venía á él, y los enseñaba.
13 He went out again by the seaside. All the multitude came to him, and he taught them.
14 Και διαβαίνων είδε Λευΐν τον του Αλφαίου καθήμενον εις το τελώνιον, και λέγει προς αυτόν· Ακολούθει με. Και σηκωθείς ηκολούθησεν αυτόν.
14 Y pasando, vió á Leví, [hijo] de Alfeo, sentado al banco de los públicos tributos, y le dice: Sígueme. Y levantándose le siguió.
14 As he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax office. He said to him, “Follow me.” And he arose and followed him.
15 Και ενώ εκάθητο εις την τράπεζαν εν τη οικία αυτού, συνεκάθηντο και πολλοί τελώναι και αμαρτωλοί μετά του Ιησού και των μαθητών αυτού· διότι ήσαν πολλοί, και ηκολούθησαν αυτόν.
15 Y aconteció que estando Jesús á la mesa en casa de él, muchos publicanos y pecadores estaban también á la mesa juntamente con Jesús y con sus discípulos: porque había muchos, y le habían seguido.
15 He was reclining at the table in his house, and many tax collectors and sinners sat down with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many, and they followed him.
16 Οι δε γραμματείς και Φαρισαίοι, ιδόντες αυτόν τρώγοντα μετά των τελωνών και αμαρτωλών, έλεγον προς τους μαθητάς αυτού· Διά τι μετά των τελωνών και αμαρτωλών τρώγει και πίνει;
16 Y los escribas y los Fariseos, viéndole comer con los publicanos y con los pecadores, dijeron á sus discípulos: ¿Qué es esto, que él come y bebe con los publicanos y con los pecadores?
16 The scribes and the Pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with the sinners and tax collectors, said to his disciples, “Why is it that he eats and drinks with tax collectors and sinners?”
17 Και ακούσας ο Ιησούς, λέγει προς αυτούς· Δεν έχουσι χρείαν ιατρού οι υγιαίνοντες, αλλ' οι πάσχοντες· δεν ήλθον διά να καλέσω δικαίους αλλά αμαρτωλούς εις μετάνοιαν.
17 Y oyéndolo Jesús, les dice: Los sanos no tienen necesidad de médico, mas los que tienen mal. No he venido á llamar á los justos, sino á los pecadores.
17 When Jesus heard it, he said to them, “Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
18 Οι μαθηταί δε του Ιωάννου και οι των Φαρισαίων ενήστευον. Και έρχονται και λέγουσι προς αυτόν· Διά τι οι μαθηταί του Ιωάννου και οι των Φαρισαίων νηστεύουσιν, οι δε μαθηταί σου δεν νηστεύουσι;
18 Y los discípulos de Juan, y de los Fariseos ayunaban; y vienen, y le dicen: ¿Por qué los discípulos de Juan y los de los Fariseos ayunan, y tus discípulos no ayunan?
18 John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting, and they came and asked him, “Why do John’s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples don’t fast?”
19 Και είπε προς αυτούς ο Ιησούς· Μήπως δύνανται οι υιοί του νυμφώνος, ενόσω ο νυμφίος είναι μετ' αυτών, να νηστεύωσιν; όσον καιρόν έχουσι τον νυμφίον μεθ' εαυτών, δεν δύνανται να νηστεύωσι·
19 Y Jesús les dice: ¿Pueden ayunar los que están de bodas, cuando el esposo está con ellos? Entre tanto que tienen consigo al esposo no pueden ayunar.
19 Jesus said to them, “Can the groomsmen fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they can’t fast.
20 θέλουσιν όμως ελθεί ημέραι, όταν αφαιρεθή απ' αυτών ο νυμφίος, και τότε θέλουσι νηστεύσει εν εκείναις ταις ημέραις.
20 Mas vendrán días, cuando el esposo les será quitado, y entonces en aquellos días ayunarán.
20 But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast in that day.
21 Και ουδείς ράπτει επίρραμμα αγνάφου πανίου επί ιμάτιον παλαιόν· ει δε μη, το αναπλήρωμα αυτού το νέον αφαιρεί από του παλαιού, και γίνεται σχίσμα χειρότερον.
21 Nadie echa remiendo de paño recio en vestido viejo; de otra manera el mismo remiendo nuevo tira del viejo, y la rotura se hace peor.
21 No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, or else the patch shrinks and the new tears away from the old, and a worse hole is made.
22 Και ουδείς βάλλει οίνον νέον εις ασκούς παλαιούς· ει δε μη, ο οίνος ο νέος διασχίζει τους ασκούς, και ο οίνος εκχέεται και οι ασκοί φθείρονται· αλλά πρέπει οίνος νέος να βάλληται εις ασκούς νέους.
22 Ni nadie echa vino nuevo en odres viejos; de otra manera, el vino nuevo rompe los odres, y se derrama el vino, y los odres se pierden; mas el vino nuevo en odres nuevos se ha de echar.
22 No one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine will burst the skins, and the wine pours out, and the skins will be destroyed; but they put new wine into fresh wineskins.”
23 Και ότε διέβαινεν εν σαββάτω διά των σπαρτών, οι μαθηταί αυτού, ενώ ώδευον, ήρχισαν να ανασπώσι τα αστάχυα.
23 Y aconteció que pasando él por los sembrados en sábado, sus discípulos andando comenzaron á arrancar espigas.
23 He was going on the Sabbath day through the grain fields; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of grain.
24 Και οι Φαρισαίοι έλεγον προς αυτόν· Ιδού, διά τι πράττουσιν εν τοις σάββασιν εκείνο, το οποίον δεν συγχωρείται;
24 Entonces los Fariseos le dijeron: He aquí, ¿por qué hacen en sábado lo que no es lícito?
24 The Pharisees said to him, “Behold, why do they do that which is not lawful on the Sabbath day?”
25 Και αυτός έλεγε προς αυτούς· Ποτέ δεν ανεγνώσατε τι έπραξεν ο Δαβίδ, ότε έλαβε χρείαν και επείνασεν αυτός και οι μετ' αυτού;
25 Y él les dijo: ¿Nunca leísteis qué hizo David cuando tuvo necesidad, y tuvo hambre, él y los que con él estaban:
25 He said to them, “Did you never read what David did when he had need and was hungry—he, and those who were with him?
26 πως εισήλθεν εις τον οίκον του Θεού επί Αβιάθαρ του αρχιερέως, και έφαγε τους άρτους της προθέσεως, τους οποίους δεν είναι συγκεχωρημένον ειμή εις τους ιερείς να φάγωσι, και έδωκε και εις τους όντας μετ' αυτού;
26 Cómo entró en la casa de Dios, siendo Abiathar sumo pontífice, y comió los panes de la proposición, de los cuales no es lícito comer sino á los sacerdotes, y aun dió á los que con él estaban?
26 How he entered into God’s house at the time of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the show bread, which is not lawful to eat except for the priests, and gave also to those who were with him?”
27 Και έλεγε προς αυτούς· το σάββατον έγεινε διά τον άνθρωπον, ουχί ο άνθρωπος διά το σάββατον·
27 También les dijo: El sábado por causa del hombre es hecho; no el hombre por causa del sábado.
27 He said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.
28 ώστε ο Υιός του ανθρώπου κύριος είναι και του σαββάτου.
28 Así que el Hijo del hombre es Señor aun del sábado.
28 Therefore the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath.”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Thy bed did carry thee, thou carriedst not thy bed, but wast a paralytic inwardly; He cometh who saith to thee, "Take up thy bed, and go thy way into thy house." "The Lord help him on his bed of pain." Then to the Lord Himself He turneth, as though it were asked, Why then, since the Lord helpeth us, …

Now Matthew indeed saith, that "they brought him," but the others, that they also broke up the roof, and let him down. And they put the sick man before Christ, saying nothing, but committing the whole to Him.

Or in another sense they are used of a thing which is not reasonable; as, Can the Children of the Bridechamber fast while the Bridegroom is with them; whether He be considered as visible in bodily form (for the time of His sojourning among us was not one of mourning, but of gladness), or, as the Word.

Upon their murmuring, then, and saying, "This man blasphemeth; who can forgive sins but God only?" let us see what He saith.

And we have cause also to admire the self-denial of the evangelist, how he disguises not his own former life, but adds even his name, when the others had concealed him under another appellation. But why did he say he was "sitting at the receipt of custom?" To indicate the power of Him that called him, that it was not …
