And behold, 3 certain of the scribes said within themselves, Many ancient This man blasphemeth. And Jesus knowing 4 their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts? For whether is easier, to say, 5 Thy sins are forgiven; or to say, Arise, and walk? But that ye may know that the Son of 6 Or, authority man hath power on earth to forgive sins (then saith he to the sick of the palsy), Arise, and take up thy bed, and go unto thy house.

And Jesus said unto them, Can the sons of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, 16 and then will they fast. And no man putteth a piece of undressed cloth upon an old garment; for that which should fill it up taketh from the garment, and a worse rent is made. 17 Neither do men put new wine into old wine- That is, skins skins: else the skins burst, and the wine is used as bottles. spilled, and the skins perish: but they put new 18 wine into fresh wine-skins, and both are preserved.
