Mark 2 - Revised Standard Version(RSVCI)

1And when he returned to Caperna-um after some days, it was reported that he was at home.

2And many were gathered together, so that there was no longer room for them, not even about the door; and he was preaching the word to them.

3 the Pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with sinners and tax collectors, said to his disciples, “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

17And when Jesus heard it, he said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick; I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.”

23 Mt 12.1-8; Lk 6.1-5. Deut 23.25. One sabbath he was going through the grainfields; and as they made their way his disciples began to pluck heads of grain.

24And the Pharisees said to him, “Look, why are they doing what is not lawful on the sabbath?”

25And he said to them, “Have you never read what David did, when he was in need and was hungry, he and those who were with him:

261 Sam 21.1-6; 2 Sam 8.17. how he entered the house of God, when Abiathar was high priest, and ate the bread of the Presence, which it is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and also gave it to those who were with him?”

27Ex 23.12; Deut 5.14. And he said to them, “The sabbath was made for man, not man for the sabbath;

28so the Son of man is lord even of the sabbath.”
