Mark 2:1-12

Common English Bible CEB

1 After a few days, Jesus went back to Capernaum, and people heard that he was at home.

2 So many gathered that there was no longer space, not even near the door. Jesus was speaking the word to them.

3 Some people arrived, and four of them were bringing to him a man who was paralyzed.

4 They couldn't carry him through the crowd, so they tore off part of the roof above where Jesus was. When they had made an opening, they lowered the mat on which the paralyzed man was lying.

5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "Child, your sins are forgiven!"

6 Some legal experts were sitting there, muttering among themselves,

7 "Why does he speak this way? He's insulting God. Only the one God can forgive sins."

8 Jesus immediately recognized what they were discussing, and he said to them, "Why do you fill your minds with these questions?

9 Which is easier—to say to a paralyzed person, ‘Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, ‘Get up, take up your bed, and walk'?

10 But so you will know that the Human One has authority on the earth to forgive sins"—he said to the man who was paralyzed,

11 "Get up, take your mat, and go home."

12 Jesus raised him up, and right away he picked up his mat and walked out in front of everybody. They were all amazed and praised God, saying, "We've never seen anything like this!"

New International Version NIV

1 A few days later, when Jesus again entered Capernaum, the people heard that he had come home.

2 They gathered in such large numbers that there was no room left, not even outside the door, and he preached the word to them.

3 Some men came, bringing to him a paralyzed man, carried by four of them.

4 Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and then lowered the mat the man was lying on.

5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”

6 Now some teachers of the law were sitting there, thinking to themselves,

7 “Why does this fellow talk like that? He’s blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

8 Immediately Jesus knew in his spirit that this was what they were thinking in their hearts, and he said to them, “Why are you thinking these things?

9 Which is easier: to say to this paralyzed man, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up, take your mat and walk’?

10 But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.” So he said to the man,

11 “I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home.”

12 He got up, took his mat and walked out in full view of them all. This amazed everyone and they praised God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this!”
