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.
