Mark 2: 1 - 12
|
| 1 | And when he returned to Caper'na-um after some days, it was reported that he was at home. |
| 2 | And many were gathered together, so that there was no longer room for them, not even about the door; and he was preaching the word to them. |
| 3 | And they came, bringing to him a paralytic carried by four men. |
| 4 | And when they could not get near him because of the crowd, they removed the roof above him; and when they had made an opening, they let down the pallet on which the paralytic lay. |
| 5 | And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "My son, your sins are forgiven." |
| 6 | Now some of the scribes were sitting there, questioning in their hearts, |
| 7 | "Why does this man speak thus? It is blasphemy! Who can forgive sins but God alone?" |
| 8 | And immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they thus questioned within themselves, said to them, "Why do you question thus in your hearts? |
| 9 | Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, `Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, `Rise, take up your pallet and walk'? |
| 10 | But that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins" -- he said to the paralytic -- |
| 11 | "I say to you, rise, take up your pallet and go home." |
| 12 | And he rose, and immediately took up the pallet and went out before them all; so that they were all amazed and glorified God, saying, "We never saw anything like this!" |
