¹ 이스라엘의 어렸을 때에 내가 사랑하여 내 아들을 애굽에서 불러내었거늘

² 선지자들이 저희를 부를수록 저희가 점점 멀리하고 바알들에게 제사하며 아로새긴 우상 앞에서 분향하였느니라

³ 그러나 내가 에브라임에게 걸음을 가르치고 내 팔로 안을지라도 내가 저희를 고치는 줄을 저희가 알지 못하였도다

⁴ 내가 사람의 줄 곧 사랑의 줄로 저희를 이끌었고 저희에게 대하여 그 목에서 멍에를 벗기는 자같이 되었으며 저희 앞에서 먹을 것을 두었었노라

⁵ 저희가 애굽 땅으로 다시 가지 못하겠거늘 내게 돌아오기를 싫어하니 앗수르 사람이 그 임금이 될 것이라

⁶ 칼이 저희의 성읍들을 치며 빗장을 깨뜨려 없이 하리니 이는 저희의 계책을 인함이니라

⁷ 내 백성이 결심하고 내게서 물러가나니 비록 저희를 불러 위에 계신 자에게로 돌아오라 할지라도 일어나는 자가 하나도 없도다

⁸ 에브라임이여 내가 어찌 너를 놓겠느냐 ? 이스라엘이여 내가 어찌 너를 버리겠느냐 ? 내가 어찌 아드마같이 놓겠느냐 ? 어찌 너를 스보임 같이 두겠느냐 ? 내 마음이 내 속에서 돌아서 나의 긍휼이 온전히 불붙듯 하도다

⁹ 내가 나의 맹렬한 진노를 발하지 아니하며 내가 다시는 에브라임을 멸하지 아니하리니 이는 내가 사람이 아니요 하나님임이라 나는 네 가운데 거하는 거룩한 자니 진노함으로 네게 임하지 아니하리라

¹⁰ 저희가 사자처럼 소리를 발하시는 여호와를 좇을 것이라 여호와께서 소리를 발하시면 자손들이 서편에서부터 떨며 오되

¹¹ 저희가 애굽에서부터 새같이 앗수르에서부터 비둘기같이 떨며 오리니 내가 저희로 각 집에 머물게 하리라 나 여호와의 말이니라

¹² 에브라임은 거짓으로 이스라엘 족속은 궤휼로 나를 에워쌌고 유다는 하나님 곧 신실하시고 거룩하신 자에게 대하여 정함이 없도다

¹ When he entered again into Capernaum after some days, it was heard that he was in the house.

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 Four people came, carrying a paralytic to him.

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 Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, "Son, your sins are forgiven you."

⁶ But there were some of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,

⁷ "Why does this man speak blasphemies like that? Who can forgive sins but God alone?"

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 Which is easier, to tell the paralytic, 'Your sins are forgiven;' or to say, 'Arise, and take up your bed, and walk?'

¹⁰ But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins"--he said to the paralytic--

¹¹ "I tell you, arise, take up your mat, and go to your house."

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 He went out again by the seaside. All the multitude came to him, and he taught them.

¹⁴ As he passed by, he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, sitting at the tax office, and he said to him, "Follow me." And he arose and followed him.

¹⁵ It happened, that 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 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 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 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 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 But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then will they fast in that day.

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 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 It happened that 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 The Pharisees said to him, "Behold, why do they do that which is not lawful on the Sabbath day?"

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 How he entered into the house of God when Abiathar was 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 He said to them, "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.

²⁸ Therefore the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath."
