Mark 2:3-12

3 a And they came, bringing to Him a bparalytic, carried by four men. 4Being unable to
Lit bring to
get to Him because of the crowd, they dremoved the roof
Lit where He was
above Him; and when they had dug an opening, they let down the pallet on which the fparalytic was lying.
5And Jesus seeing their faith said to the paralytic,
Lit child
Son, hyour sins are forgiven.”
6But some of the scribes were sitting there and reasoning in their hearts, 7Why does this man speak that way? He is blaspheming; iwho can forgive sins
Lit if not one, God
but God alone?”
8Immediately Jesus, aware
Lit by
in His spirit that they were reasoning that way within themselves, said to them, Why are you reasoning about these things in your hearts?
9Which is easier, to say to the lparalytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven’; or to say, ‘Get up, and pick up your pallet and walk’? 10But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sinsHe said to the paralytic, 11I say to you, get up, pick up your pallet and go home.” 12And he got up and immediately picked up the pallet and went out in the sight of everyone, so that they were all amazed and mwere glorifying God, saying, nWe have never seen anything like this.”
