Mark 2:3–12

^3dAnd they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four. ⁴And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, ^ethey ^funcovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay. ⁵When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins ^gbe forgiven thee. ⁶But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and ^hreasoning in their hearts, ⁷Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? ⁱwho can forgive sins but God only? ⁸And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so ^hreasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts? ⁹Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins ^gbe forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk? ¹⁰But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,) ¹¹I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house. ¹²And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all ^jamazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.
