Mark 2:3-12

Jesus Heals a Paralytic

³ _u 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, _v 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 _w saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "Son, _x 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? _y He is blaspheming! _z Who can forgive sins but God alone?" ⁸ And immediately Jesus, _a 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 _b 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 _c glorified God, saying, "We never saw anything like this!"
