Mark 2:1-12
And when
he returned to Capernaum after some days, it was reported that he was at home.
2 And many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even at
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 bed on which the paralytic lay. 5 And when Jesus
saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” 6 Now
some of the scribes were sitting there, questioning in their hearts, 7 “Why
does this man speak like that? He is blaspheming! 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 these things
in your hearts? 9 Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are
forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Rise, take up your bed 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, pick up your bed, and go home.” 12 And he
rose and immediately picked up his bed and went out before them all, so that
they were all amazed and glorified God, saying, “We never saw anything like
this!”
