The passage covers a sequence of five episodes from early in Jesus's Galilean ministry: the healing of a paralytic lowered through a roof (with an embedded controversy over Jesus's authority to forgive sins), the calling of Levi the tax collector, table fellowship with \"sinners and tax collectors\" that provokes Pharisaic objection, a dispute about fasting answered with the bridegroom metaphor, and two sayings about new cloth and new wineskins. The distinctive claim running through the passage is that Jesus possesses authority typically reserved for God alone \u2014 to forgive sins, to reinterpret Sabbath law, and to inaugurate something genuinely new that cannot be contained in old forms. The KJV column's Strong's numbers make this useful as an interlinear study resource for word-level comparison across Greek, Latin, and English, serving readers engaged in biblical exegesis or language study rather than general reading.","tags":["Book of Acts","Greek New Testament","Polyglot Bible"],"text":null,"title":"Polyglot Bible: Mark: Mark 2","tradition":"Hypertext Bible","translated_text":null,"word_count":1849}
