Category:Jesus forgives sin

Mark 2:1 - 2:2 - 2:3 - 2:4 - 2:5 - 2:6 - 2:7 - 2:8 - 2:9 - 2:10 - 2:11 - 2:12

2:1. Again Jesus entered into Capernaum after some days.

'''2:2. It was heard that He was in the house. Many came together, so that there was no room, not even at the door. To them Jesus spoke the Word.'''

2:3. Some came to Jesus bringing one sick with palsy; he was carried by four people.

2:4. When they could not bring the man to Jesus because of the multitude, they uncovered the roof where Jesus was, and opening it, they let down the bed in which the man lay sick with palsy.

2:5. When Jesus had seen their faith, He said to the one sick with palsy, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.”

2:6. There were some of the scribes sitting there and thinking in their hearts,

'''2:7. “Why does this Man say that? He blasphemes. Who can forgive sins but God alone?”'''

2:8. Jesus, knowing what they thought, said to them, “Why do you think these things in your hearts?

2:9. “Which is easier to say to the one sick with palsy: 'Your sins are forgiven you,' or to say, 'Arise, take up your bed and walk?'

2:10. “So that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins,” (Jesus said to the one sick with palsy,)

'''2:11. “I say to you: arise. Pick up your bed and go into your house.”'''

2:12. Immediately the man arose and, picking up his bed, went his way in the sight of all, so that all wondered and glorified God, saying, “We never saw anything like this before.”
