2:3And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four.

2:4And 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.

2:5When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.

2:6But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,

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

2:8And 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?

2:9Whether 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?

2:10But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,)

2:11I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house.

2:12And 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.
