Mark 2:1-12
\n1 When he returned to Capernaum after some days, it was reported that he was at home. 2 So many gathered around that there was no longer room for them, not even in front of the door; and he was speaking the word to them. 3 Then some people came, bringing to him a paralyzed man, carried by four of them. 4 And when they could not bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, they removed the roof above him; and after having dug through it, they let down the mat on which the paralytic lay. 5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, \u201cSon, your sins are forgiven.\u201d 6 Now some of the scribes were sitting there, questioning in their hearts, 7 \u201cWhy does this fellow speak in this way? It is blasphemy! Who can forgive sins but God alone?\u201d 8 At once Jesus perceived in his spirit that they were discussing these questions among themselves; and he said to them, \u201cWhy do you raise such questions in your hearts? 9 Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, \u2018Your sins are forgiven,\u2019 or to say, \u2018Stand up and take your mat and walk\u2019? 10 But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins\u201d\u2014he said to the paralytic\u2014 11 \u201cI say to you, stand up, take your mat and go to your home.\u201d 12 And he stood up, and immediately took the mat and went out before all of them; so that they were all amazed and glorified God, saying, \u201cWe have never seen anything like this!\u201d
