1 AND Jesus entered again into Capernaum for a few days; and when they heard that he was in a house, 2 A great many gathered together so that it was impossible to hold them, not even in front of the entrance; so he spoke a few words to them. 3 And they came to him, and brought to him a paralyzed man, carried between four men. 4 But as they were unable to come near him because of the crowd, they went up to the roof and uncovered it over the place where Jesus was; and they lowered the quilt-bed in which the paralyzed man lay. 5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, My son, your sins are forgiven. 6 Now some of the scribes and Pharisees were sitting there, and they reasoned in their hearts, 7 Why does this man speak blasphemy? Who can forgive sins except God only? 8 But Jesus perceived in his spirit that they were reasoning among themselves, and he said to them, Why do you reason these things in your heart?
