Mark 2:1-7 ▼

1 When He had come back to Capernaum several days afterward, it was heard that He was at home.

2 And many were gathered together, so that there was no longer room, not even near the door; and He was speaking the word to them.

3 And they came, bringing to Him a paralytic, carried by four men.

4 Being unable to get to Him because of the crowd, they removed the roof above Him; and when they had dug an opening, they let down the pallet on which the paralytic was lying.

5 And Jesus seeing their faith said to the paralytic, |Son, your sins are forgiven.|

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

7 |Why does this man speak that way? He is blaspheming; who can forgive sins but God alone?|
