这个人为什么这样说呢。他说僭妄的话了。除了神以外，谁能赦罪呢。
Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?
耶稣心中知道他们的心里这样议论，就说，你们心里为什么这样议论呢。
And 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?
或对瘫子说，你的罪赦了，或说，起来拿你的褥子行走，那一样容易呢。
Whether 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?
但要叫你们知道人子在地上有赦罪的权柄，就对瘫子说，
But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,)
那人就起来，立刻拿着褥子，当众人面前出去了。以致众人都惊奇，归荣耀与神说，我们从来没有见过这样的事。
And 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.
耶稣经过的时候，看见亚勒腓的儿子利未，坐在税关上，就对他说，你跟从我来。他就起来跟从了耶稣。
And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the receipt of custom, and said unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him.
耶稣在利未家里坐席的时候，有好些税吏和罪人，与耶稣并门徒一同坐席。因为这样的人多，他们也跟随耶稣。
And 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.
当下，约翰的门徒和法利赛人禁食。他们来问耶稣说，约翰的门徒和法利赛人的门徒禁食，你的门徒倒不禁食，这是为什么呢。
And 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?
耶稣对他们说，新郎和陪伴之人同在的时候，倍伴之人岂能禁食呢。新郎还同在，他们不能禁食。
And 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.
但日子将到，新郎要离开他们，那日他们就要禁食。
But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.
