Mark 2 :: Hebrew Names Version (HNV)

Mar 2:1When he entered again into Kafar-Nachum after some days, it was heard that he was in the house.
Mar 2:2Immediately many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even around the door; and he spoke the word to them.
Mar 2:3Four people came, carrying a paralytic to him.
Mar 2:4When 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.
Mar 2:5Yeshua, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, "Son, your sins are forgiven you."
Mar 2:6But there were some of the Sofrim sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
Mar 2:7"Why does this man speak blasphemies like that? Who can forgive sins but God alone?"
Mar 2:8Immediately Yeshua, perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, said to them, "Why do you reason these things in your hearts?
Mar 2:9Which is easier, to tell the paralytic, 'Your sins are forgiven;' or to say, 'Arise, and take up your bed, and walk?'
Mar 2:10But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on eretz to forgive sins" -- he said to the paralytic --
Mar 2:11"I tell you, arise, take up your mat, and go to your house."
Mar 2:12He 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!"
Mar 2:13He went out again by the seaside. All the multitude came to him, and he taught them.

Levi (Matthew) Called

Mar 2:14As he passed by, he saw Levi, the son of Halfai, sitting at the tax office, and he said to him, "Follow me." And he arose and followed him.
Mar 2:15It happened, that he was reclining at the table in his house, and many tax collectors and sinners sat down with Yeshua and his talmidim, for there were many, and they followed him.
Mar 2:16The Sofrim and the Perushim, when they saw that he was eating with the sinners and tax collectors, said to his talmidim, "Why is it that he eats and drinks with tax collectors and sinners?"
Mar 2:17When Yeshua 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."
Mar 2:18Yochanan's talmidim and the Perushim were fasting, and they came and asked him, "Why do Yochanan's talmidim and the talmidim of the Perushim fast, but your talmidim don't fast?"
Mar 2:19Yeshua 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.
Mar 2:20But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then will they fast in that day.
Mar 2:21No 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.
Mar 2:22No 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."

Question of the Sabbath

Mar 2:23It happened that he was going on the day of Shabbat through the grain fields, and his talmidim began, as they went, to pluck the ears of grain.
Mar 2:24The Perushim said to him, "Behold, why do they do that which is not lawful on the day of Shabbat?"
Mar 2:25He said to them, "Did you never read what David did, when he had need, and was hungry -- he, and they who were with him?
Mar 2:26How he entered into the house of God when Avyatar was Kohen Gadol, and ate the show bread, which it is not lawful to eat except for the Kohanim, and gave also to those who were with him?"
Mar 2:27He said to them, "The Shabbat was made for man, not man for the Shabbat.
Mar 2:28Therefore the Son of Man is lord even of the Shabbat."
