Mark 2:3-11
-
3 And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four.
-
4 And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.
-
5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.
-
6 But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
-
7 Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?
-
8 And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?
-
9 Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?
-
10 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,)
-
11 I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house.
