Mark 2:1-12
Jesus Heals a Paralytic

1 And again he entered into Capernaum, after [some] days; and it was noised that he was in the house.

1:

2 And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive [them], no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word unto them.

2:

3 And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four.

3:

4 And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken [it] up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.

4:

5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.

5:

6 But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,

6:

7 Why doth this [man] thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?

7:

8 And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?

8:

9 Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, [Thy] sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?

9:

10 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,)

10:

11 I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house.

11:

12 And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.

12:
