Mark 2:1-8

The Paralytic Healed

2 And ¹many were gathered together, so that there was no longer room, not even near the door; and He was speaking the word to them.

3 ²And they came, bringing to Him a ³paralytic, carried by four men.

5 And Jesus seeing their faith said to the paralytic, "Son, ⁶your sins are forgiven."

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

8 Immediately Jesus, aware in His spirit that they were reasoning that way within themselves, said to them, "Why are you reasoning about these things in your hearts?
