Chronological New Testament Study Day 7
Mark 2 NIV
1 A few days later, when Jesus again entered
Capernaum, the people heard that he had come home. 2 So many gathered that there was no room left, not even outside the
door, and he preached the word to them. 3 Some men came,
bringing to him a paralytic, carried by four of them. 4 Since
they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in
the roof above Jesus and, after digging through it, lowered the mat the
paralyzed man was lying on. 5 When Jesus saw their faith, he
said to the paralytic, "Son, your sins are forgiven." 6 Now
some teachers of the law were sitting there, thinking to themselves, 7 "Why
does this fellow talk like that? He's blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God
alone?" 8 Immediately Jesus knew in his
spirit that this was what they were thinking in their hearts, and he said to
them, "Why are you thinking these things? 9 Which is
easier: to say to the paralytic, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Get up,
take your mat and walk'? 10But 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, get up, take your
mat and go home." 12 He got up, took his mat and walked
out in full view of them all. This amazed everyone and they praised God, saying, "We have never seen anything like this!"
13 Once again Jesus went out beside the lake. A
large crowd came to him, and he began to teach them. 14 As
he walked along, he saw Levi son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax collector's
booth. "Follow me," Jesus told him, and Levi
got up and followed him. 15 While Jesus was having dinner at
Levi's house, many tax collectors and "sinners" were eating with him
and his disciples, for there were many who followed him. 16 When
the teachers of the law who were Pharisees saw him eating
with the "sinners" and tax collectors, they asked his disciples:
"Why does he eat with tax collectors and 'sinners'?" 17 On
hearing this, Jesus said to them, "It is not the healthy who need a
doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."
18 Now John's disciples and the Pharisees were
fasting. Some people came and asked Jesus, "How is it
that John's disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees are fasting, but yours
are not?" 19 Jesus answered, "How can the
guests of the bridegroom fast while he is with them? They cannot, so long as
they have him with them. 20 But the time will come when the
bridegroom will be taken from them,and on that day they will
fast. 21 "No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old
garment. If he does, the new piece will pull away from the old, making the tear
worse. 22 And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. If he
does, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the wineskins will
be ruined. No, he pours new wine into new wineskins."
23 One Sabbath Jesus was going through the
grainfields, and as his disciples walked along, they began to pick some heads
of grain. 24 The Pharisees said to him,
"Look, why are they doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?" 25 He answered, "Have you never read
what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need? 26 In
the days of Abiathar the high priest, he entered the house
of God and ate the consecrated bread, which is lawful only for priests to eat. And he also gave some to his companions." 27 Then
he said to them, "The Sabbath was made for man, not
man for the Sabbath. 28 So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath."
Psalm 69
Psalm 69 (New International Version)
Psalm 69
For the director of music. To the tune of "Lilies." Of David.
1 Save me, O God, for the waters have come up to my neck.
2 I sink in the miry depths, where there is no foothold. I have come into the deep waters; the floods engulf me.
3 I am worn out calling for help; my throat is parched. My eyes fail, looking for my God.
4 Those who hate me without reason outnumber the hairs of my head; many are my enemies without cause, those who seek to destroy me. I am forced to restore what I did not steal.
5 You know my folly, O God; my guilt is not hidden from you.
6 May those who hope in you not be disgraced because of me, O Lord, the LORD Almighty; may those who seek you not be put to shame because of me, O God of Israel.
7 For I endure scorn for your sake, and shame covers my face.
8 I am a stranger to my brothers, an alien to my own mother's sons;
9 for zeal for your house consumes me, and the insults of those who insult you fall on me.
10 When I weep and fast, I must endure scorn;
11 when I put on sackcloth, people make sport of me.
12 Those who sit at the gate mock me, and I am the song of the drunkards.
13 But I pray to you, O LORD, in the time of your favor; in your great love, O God, answer me with your sure salvation.
14 Rescue me from the mire, do not let me sink; deliver me from those who hate me, from the deep waters.
15 Do not let the floodwaters engulf me or the depths swallow me up or the pit close its mouth over me.
16 Answer me, O LORD, out of the goodness of your love; in your great mercy turn to me.
17 Do not hide your face from your servant; answer me quickly, for I am in trouble.
18 Come near and rescue me; redeem me because of my foes.
19 You know how I am scorned, disgraced and shamed; all my enemies are before you.
20 Scorn has broken my heart and has left me helpless; I looked for sympathy, but there was none, for comforters, but I found none.
21 They put gall in my food and gave me vinegar for my thirst.
22 May the table set before them become a snare; may it become retribution and [a] a trap.
23 May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, and their backs be bent forever.
24 Pour out your wrath on them; let your fierce anger overtake them.
25 May their place be deserted; let there be no one to dwell in their tents.
26 For they persecute those you wound and talk about the pain of those you hurt.
27 Charge them with crime upon crime; do not let them share in your salvation.
28 May they be blotted out of the book of life and not be listed with the righteous.
29 I am in pain and distress; may your salvation, O God, protect me.
30 I will praise God's name in song and glorify him with thanksgiving.
31 This will please the LORD more than an ox, more than a bull with its horns and hoofs.
32 The poor will see and be glad— you who seek God, may your hearts live!
33 The LORD hears the needy and does not despise his captive people.
34 Let heaven and earth praise him, the seas and all that move in them,
35 for God will save Zion and rebuild the cities of Judah. Then people will settle there and possess it;
36 the children of his servants will inherit it, and those who love his name will dwell there.
