New Testament

Mark Chapter 2

   

In Capernaum one sick with the palsy was brought;
Due to the crowd, let down through the roof where Christ taught,
He heard Christ tell him : "Thy sins be forgiv'n thee, son!"
The scribes thought "blasphemy!", but Christ healed this one!
Tax-gath'rer Levi joined Christ; with sinners He dined,
Look at his guests!" the Pharisees and scribes whined!
The sick need the doctor - I call sinners, not saints,
To repentance!" was how Jesus met the complaints.
Why don't your men fast?" the Pharisees asked Christ, red...
They won't as long as the bridegroom is here!" He said.
His men plucked corn on the sabbath - Pharisees huffed!
Christ said the sabbath's made for man! They were rebuffed!
