1 And again he went into Capernaum after the days; and it was heard that he is in the house.
1 When He had come back to Capernaum several days afterward, it was heard that He was at home.
1 And again he entered into Capernaum, after some days; and it was noised that he was in the house.
1 Several days later, Jesus returned to Capernaum and it was reported that he was at home.
2 And quickly many were gathered together, so as no more to have room, neither at the door: and he spake the word to them.
2 And (A)many were gathered together, so that there was no longer room, not even near the door; and He was speaking the word to them.
2 And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word unto them.
2 So many people gathered together that there was no more room, not even in the doorway, and He was speaking the message(C) to them.
2 Such a large crowd gathered that there wasn't room for them, even in front of the door. Jesus was speaking his message to them
4 And not being able to draw near to him for the crowd, they uncovered the roof where he was and having excavated, they let down his couch upon which the paralytic was laid.
4 Being unable to (a)get to Him because of the crowd, they (D)removed the roof (b)above Him; and when they had dug an opening, they let down the pallet on which the (E)paralytic was lying.
4 And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.
4 Since they were not able to bring him to(a) Jesus because of the crowd, they removed the roof above where He was. And when they had broken through, they lowered the mat on which the paralytic was lying.
4 Since they couldn't bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof over the place where he was. They dug through it and let down the mat on which the paralyzed man was lying.
6 And certain of the scribes were sitting there, and discussing in their hearts,
6 But some of the scribes were sitting there and reasoning in their hearts,
6 But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
6 Now some scribes were sitting there, arguing among themselves,
8 And Jesus quickly having known that they discuss in themselves, says to them, Why discuss ye these things in your hearts
8 Immediately Jesus, aware (e)in His spirit that they were reasoning that way within themselves, *said to them, “Why are you reasoning about these things in your hearts?
8 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?
8 Right away(N) Jesus understood in His spirit(O) that they were thinking like this within themselves and said to them, “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?(c)
8 At once, Jesus knew in his spirit what they were saying to themselves. "Why are you arguing about such things among yourselves?" he asked them.
9 Why is it easier to say to the paralytic, Sins have been remitted to thee? or to say, Arise, lift up thy couch, and walk?
9 Which is easier, to say to the (H)paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven’; or to say, ‘Get up, and pick up your pallet and walk’?
9 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?
9 Which is easier:(P) to say to the paralytic,(Q) ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up, pick up your mat, and walk’?(R)
9 "Which is easier: to say to the paralyzed man, "Your sins are forgiven,' or "Get up, pick up your mat, and walk'?
10 And that ye might know that the Son of man has power to remit sins upon earth, (he says to the paralytic)
10 But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—He *said to the paralytic,
10 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,)
10 But so you may know that the Son of Man(S) has authority(T) on earth to forgive sins,”(U) He told the paralytic,
10 But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins"" Then he told the paralyzed man,
12 And he was quickly raised up; and having lifted up the couch, he went forth before all, so that all were affected in mind, and praised God, saying, That we never saw it thus.
12 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 (I)were glorifying God, saying, “(J)We have never seen anything like this.”
12 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.
12 Immediately he got up, picked up the mat, and went out in front of everyone. As a result, they were all astounded(W) and gave glory(X) to God,(Y) saying, “We have never seen anything like this!”(Z)
12 So the man got up, immediately picked up his mat, and went out in front of all of them. As a result, all of the people were amazed and began to glorify God as they kept on saying, "We have never seen anything like this!"
13 And he went out again by the sea; and all the crowd came to him, and he taught them.

17 And hearing this, Jesus *said to them, “(Q)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.”
