Jesus Heals a Crippled Man(Mt. 9:1-8; Lk. 5:17-26) 2 1A few days later, Jesus came back to Capernauma. The news spread that he was back home. 2A large crowd gathered to hear him speak. The house was so full that there was no place to stand, not even outside the door. While Jesus was teaching, 3some people brought a paralyzed man to see him. He was being carried by four of them. 4But they could not get the man inside to Jesus because the house was so full of people. So they went to the roof above Jesus and made a hole in it. Then they lowered the mat with the paralyzed man on it. 5When Jesus saw how much faith they had, he said to the paralyzed man, "Young man, your sins are forgiven."
6Some of the teachers of the law were sitting there. They saw what Jesus did, and they said to themselves, 7"Why does this man say things like that? What an insult to God! No one but God can forgive sins."
8Jesus knew immediately what these teachers of the law were thinking. So he said to them, "Why do you have these questions in your minds? 9-10The Son of Manb has power on earth to forgive sins. But how can I prove this to you? Maybe you are thinking it was easy for me to say to the crippled man, 'Your sins are forgiven.' There's no proof it really happened. But what if I say to the man, 'Stand up. Take your mat and walk'? Then you will be able to see if I really have this power or not." So Jesus said to the paralyzed man, 11"I tell you, stand up. Take your mat and go home."
12Immediately the paralyzed man stood up. He picked up his mat and walked out of the room. Everyone could see him. They were amazed and praised God. They said, "This is the most amazing thing we have ever seen!"
Levi (Matthew) Follows Jesus(Mt. 9:9-13; Lk. 5:27-32) 13Jesus went to the lake again, and many people followed him there. So Jesus taught them. 14He was walking beside the lake, and he saw a man named Levi, son of Alphaeus. Levi was sitting at his place for collecting taxes. Jesus said to him, "Follow me." Then Levi stood up and followed Jesus.
15Later that day, Jesus and his followers ate at Levi's house. There were also many tax collectorsc and others with bad reputations eating with them. (There were many of these people who followed Jesus.) 16When some teachers of the law who were Phariseesd saw Jesus eating with such bad people, they asked his followers, "Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?"
17When Jesus heard this, he said to them, "It is the sick people who need a doctor, not those who are healthy. I did not come to invite good people. I came to invite sinners."
Jesus Is Not Like Other Religious Leaders(Mt. 9:14-17; Lk. 5:33-39) 18The followers of Johne and the Phariseesd were fastingf. Some people came to Jesus and said, "John's followers fast, and the followers of the Phariseesd fast. But your followers don't fast. Why?"
19Jesus answered, "At a wedding the friends of the bridegroomg are not sad while he is with them. They cannot fast while the bridegroomg is still there. 20But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them. Then they will fast.
21"When someone sews a patch over a hole in an old coat, they never use a piece of cloth that is not yet shrunk. If they do, the patch will shrink and pull away from the coat. Then the hole will be worse. 22Also, no one ever pours new wine into old wineskinsh. The wine would break them, and the wine would be ruined along with the wineskinsh. You always put new wine into new wineskinsh."
Jesus Is Lord Over the Sabbath Day(Mt. 12:1-8; Lk. 6:1-5) 23On the Sabbathi day, Jesus and his followers were walking through some grain fields. The followers picked some grain to eat. 24Some Phariseesd said to Jesus, "Why are your followers doing this? It is against the law to pick grain on the Sabbath."
25Jesus answered, "You have read what Davidj did when he and the people with him were hungry and needed food. 26It was during the time of Abiathar the high priestk. David went into God's house and ate the bread that was offered to God. And the Law of Mosesl says that only priests can eat that bread. David also gave some of the bread to the people with him."
27Then Jesus said to the Pharisees, "The Sabbath day was made to help people. People were not made to be ruled by the Sabbath. 28So the Son of Manb is Lord of every day, even the Sabbath."

jDavid Israel’s greatest king, who ruled about 1000 years before Christ. Besides being a great military and political leader, he was a deeply spiritual man and a gifted musician, who wrote many of the Psalms. He made plans and arrangements for the building of the first Temple in Jerusalem (“the city of David”), which was actually completed by his son Solomon. The Scriptures said that a descendant of David would be God’s chosen messiah (king), who would establish an eternal kingdom. For that reason, Jesus is sometimes called “the Son of David.”
