Bible Answer:

Bible Texts:

Mark 2:1-12 KJV
1 And again He entered into Capernaum after some days; and it was noised that He was in the house.
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.
3 And they come unto Him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four.
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.
5 When Jesus saw their faith, He said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.
6 But there was certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
7 Why doth this Man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?
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?
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?
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,)
11 I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house.
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.

Many scribes were present at this event.

Luke 5:17 KJV
And it came to pass on a certain day, as He was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, which were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judea, and Jerusalem: and the power of The Lord was present to heal them.

When the Jews heard Jesus say....

Mark 2:5 KJV
...Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.”

They knew well, that only God could forgive sin, and Jesus knew their thoughts.

Psalm 139:2 KJV
Thou knowest my down sitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.

Mark 2:7 KJV
Why doth this Man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?

The Word:

Psalm 32:5 KJV
I acknowledge my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto The Lord; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

Isaiah 43:25 KJV
I, even I, am He that blotteth out thy transgressions for Mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.

Our Lord, was in effect telling them, I am God, and to prove it, I will heal this paralyzed man

Mark 2:10-12 KJV
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,)
11 I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house.
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.

And you and I as God's children have The Living Power Of God, at work in our lives!

Psalm 147:4,5 NLT
4 He counts the stars and calls them all by name.
5 How great is our Lord! His power is absolute! His understanding is beyond comprehension!

Matthew 22:29 NLT
Jesus replied, “Your mistake is that you don’t know The Scriptures, and you don’t know The Power Of God.

Romans 1:20 NLT
For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see His invisible qualities—His eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.

Ephesians 3:20 NLT
Now all glory to God, who is able, through His Mighty Power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.

II Timothy 1:7 KJV
For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of Power, Love, and Self-Discipline.

Hebrews 1:3 NLT
The Son radiates God’s own glory and expresses the very character of God, and He sustains everything by The Mighty Power of His command..."
