1
And when he entered again into Capernaum after some days, it was noised that he was in the house.
2
And many were gathered together, so that there was no longer room [for them], no, not even about the door: and he spake the word unto them.
3
And they come, bringing unto him a man sick of the palsy, borne of four.
4
And when they could not come nigh unto him for the crowd, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed whereon the sick of the palsy lay.
5
And Jesus seeing their faith saith unto the sick of the palsy,
Son, thy sins are forgiven.
6
But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
7
Why doth this man thus speak? he blasphemeth: who can forgive sins but one, [even] God?
8
And straightway Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, saith unto them,
Why reason ye these things in your hearts?
