1 A lguns dias depois entrou Jesus outra vez em Cafarnaum, e soube-se que ele estava em casa.

When He had come back to Capernaum several days afterward, it was heard that He was at home.

2 A juntaram-se, pois, muitos, a ponta de não caberem nem mesmo diante da porta; e ele lhes anunciava a palavra.

And many were gathered together, so that there was no longer room, not even near the door; and He was speaking the word to them.

3 N isso vieram alguns a trazer-lhe um paralítico, carregado por quatro;

And they came, bringing to Him a paralytic, carried by four men.

4 e não podendo aproximar-se dele, por causa da multidão, descobriram o telhado onde estava e, fazendo uma abertura, baixaram o leito em que jazia o paralítico.

Being unable to get to Him because of the crowd, they removed the roof above Him; and when they had dug an opening, they let down the pallet on which the paralytic was lying.

5 E Jesus, vendo-lhes a fé, disse ao paralítico: Filho, perdoados são os teus pecados.

And Jesus seeing their faith said to the paralytic, “ Son, your sins are forgiven.”

6 O ra, estavam ali sentados alguns dos escribas, que arrazoavam em seus corações, dizendo:

But some of the scribes were sitting there and reasoning in their hearts,

7 P or que fala assim este homem? Ele blasfema. Quem pode perdoar pecados senão um só, que é Deus?

“Why does this man speak that way? He is blaspheming; who can forgive sins but God alone?”

8 M as Jesus logo percebeu em seu espírito que eles assim arrazoavam dentro de si, e perguntou-lhes: Por que arrazoais desse modo em vossos corações?

Immediately Jesus, aware in His spirit that they were reasoning that way within themselves, said to them, “Why are you reasoning about these things in your hearts?

9 Q ual é mais fácil? dizer ao paralítico: Perdoados são os teus pecados; ou dizer: Levanta-te, toma o teu leito, e anda?

Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven’; or to say, ‘Get up, and pick up your pallet and walk’?

10 O ra, para que saibais que o Filho do homem tem sobre a terra autoridade para perdoar pecados ( disse ao paralítico ),

But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins” —He said to the paralytic,

11 a ti te digo, levanta-te, toma o teu leito, e vai para tua casa.

“I say to you, get up, pick up your pallet and go home.”

12 E ntão ele se levantou e, tomando logo o leito, saiu ã vista de todos; de modo que todos pasmavam e glorificavam a Deus, dizendo: Nunca vimos coisa semelhante.

And he got up and immediately picked up the pallet and went out in the sight of everyone, so that they were all amazed and were glorifying God, saying, “ We have never seen anything like this.”

13 O utra vez saiu Jesus para a beira do mar; e toda a multidão ia ter com ele, e ele os ensinava.

And He went out again by the seashore; and all the people were coming to Him, and He was teaching them. Levi (Matthew) Called

14 Q uando ia passando, viu a Levi, filho de Alfeu, sentado na coletoria, e disse-lhe: Segue-me. E ele, levantando-se, o seguiu.

As He passed by, He saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting in the tax booth, and He said to him, “ Follow Me!” And he got up and followed Him.

15 O ra, estando Jesus ã mesa em casa de Levi, estavam também ali reclinados com ele e seus discípulos muitos publicanos e pecadores; pois eram em grande número e o seguiam.

And it happened that He was reclining at the table in his house, and many tax collectors and sinners were dining with Jesus and His disciples; for there were many of them, and they were following Him.

16 V endo os escribas dos fariseus que comia com os publicanos e pecadores, perguntavam aos discípulos: Por que é que ele como com os publicanos e pecadores?

When the scribes of the Pharisees saw that He was eating with the sinners and tax collectors, they said to His disciples, “ Why is He eating and drinking with tax collectors and sinners?”

17 J esus, porém, ouvindo isso, disse-lhes: Não necessitam de médico os sãos, mas sim os enfermos; eu não vim chamar justos, mas pecadores.

And hearing this, Jesus said to them, “ It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick; I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

18 O ra, os discípulos de João e os fariseus estavam jejuando; e foram perguntar-lhe: Por que jejuam os discípulos de João e os dos fariseus, mas os teus discípulos não jejuam?

John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting; and they came and said to Him, “Why do John’s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but Your disciples do not fast?”

19 R espondeu-lhes Jesus: Podem, porventura, jejuar os convidados

And Jesus said to them, “While the bridegroom is with them, the attendants of the bridegroom cannot fast, can they? So long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.

20 d ias virão, porém, em que lhes será tirado o noivo; nesses dias, sim hão de jejuar.

But the days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast in that day.

21 N inguém cose remendo de pano novo em vestido velho; do contrário o remendo novo tira parte do velho, e torna-se maior a rotura.

“No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; otherwise the patch pulls away from it, the new from the old, and a worse tear results.

22 E ninguém deita vinho novo em odres velhos; do contrário, o vinho novo romperá os odres, e perder-se-á o vinho e também os odres; mas deita-se vinho novo em odres novos.

No one puts new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the wine will burst the skins, and the wine is lost and the skins as well; but one puts new wine into fresh wineskins.” Question of the Sabbath

23 E sucedeu passar ele num dia de sábado pelas searas; e os seus discípulos, caminhando, começaram a colher espigas.

And it happened that He was passing through the grainfields on the Sabbath, and His disciples began to make their way along while picking the heads of grain.

24 E os fariseus lhe perguntaram: Olha, por que estão fazendo no sábado o que não é lícito?

The Pharisees were saying to Him, “Look, why are they doing what is not lawful on the Sabbath?”

25 R espondeu-lhes ele: Acaso nunca lestes o que fez Davi quando se viu em necessidade e teve fome, ele e seus companheiros?

And He said to them, “Have you never read what David did when he was in need and he and his companions became hungry;

26 C omo entrou na casa de Deus, no tempo do sumo sacerdote Abiatar, e comeu dos pães da proposição, dos quais não era lícito comer senão aos sacerdotes, e deu também aos companheiros?

how he entered the house of God in the time of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the consecrated bread, which is not lawful for anyone to eat except the priests, and he also gave it to those who were with him?”

27 E prosseguiu: O sábado foi feito por causa do homem, e não o homem por causa do sábado.

Jesus said to them, “ The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath.

28 P elo que o Filho do homem até do sábado é Senhor.

So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”
