Mark 2:1-7

A Paralytic Healed

1 And [when he] entered again into Capernaum after [some] days, it became known that he was at home.
2 And many had gathered, so that [there was] no longer room, not even at the door, and he was speaking the word to them.
3 And they came bringing to him a paralytic, carried by four [of them].
4 And [when] they were not able to bring [him] to him because of the crowd, they removed the roof where he was. And [after] digging through, they lowered the stretcher on which the paralytic was lying.
5 And [when] Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "Child, your sins are forgiven."
6 Now some of the scribes were sitting there and reasoning in their hearts,
7 "Why does this man speak like this? He is blaspheming! Who is able to forgive sins except God alone?"
