Mark 2:2-12

2they gatheredG4863 in such large numbersG4183 thatG5620 there was no moreG3371 roomG5562, not evenG3366 outsideG4314 theG3588 doorG2374, as Jesus spokeG2980 theG3588 wordG3056 to themG846.

3ThenG2532 a paralyticG3885 was broughtG2064G5342 toG4314 HimG846, carriedG142 byG5259 fourG5064 men. 4SinceG2532 they were unableG3361G1410 to get toG4374 Jesus throughG1223 theG3588 crowdG3793, they uncoveredG648 theG3588 roofG4721 above HimG3699G1510, made an openingG1846, and loweredG5465 theG3588 paralyticG3885 onG3699 his matG2895.

5WhenG2532 JesusG2424 sawG3708 theirG846 faithG4102, He saidG3004 to theG3588 paralyticG3885, “SonG5043, yourG4771 sinsG266 are forgivenG863.”

6ButG1161 someG5100 of theG3588 scribesG1122 wereG1510 sittingG2521 thereG1563 andG2532 thinkingG1260 inG1722 theirG846 heartsG2588, 7“WhyG5101 does thisG3778 man speakG2980 like thisG3779? He is blasphemingG987! WhoG5101 canG1410 forgiveG863 sinsG266 butG1487G3361 GodG2316 aloneG1520?”

At onceG2112 JesusG2424 knewG1921 inG3588 HisG846 spiritG4151 thatG3754 they were thinkingG1260 this wayG3779 withinG1722 themselvesG1438. “WhyG5101 are you thinkingG1260 these thingsG3778 inG1722 yourG4771 heartsG2588?” He askedG3004G846. 9“WhichG5101 isG1510 easierG2123: to sayG2036 to a paralyticG3885, ‘YourG4771 sinsG266 are forgivenG863,’ orG2228 to sayG2036, ‘Get upG1453, pick upG142 yourG4771 matG2895, andG2532 walkG4043’? 10ButG1161 so thatG2443 you may knowG1492 thatG3754 theG3588 SonG5207 of ManG444 hasG2192 authorityG1849 onG1909 earthG1093 to forgiveG863 sinsG266...” He saidG3004 to theG3588 paralyticG3885, 11“I tellG3004 youG4771, get upG1453, pick upG142 yourG4771 matG2895, andG2532 goG5217 homeG1519G4771G3588G3624.”

12AndG2532 immediatelyG2112 the man got upG1453, picked upG142 his matG2895, and walked outG1831 in front ofG1726 them allG3956. As a resultG5620, they were allG3956 astoundedG1839 andG2532 glorifiedG1392 GodG2316, sayingG3004, “We have never seenG3763G3708 anything like thisG3779!”
