Mark 2:6-11

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

7Why does this [man] thus speak? he blasphemes. Who is able to forgive sins except 1God alone?

8And straightway Jesus, knowing in his spirit that they are reasoning thus within themselves, said to them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?

9Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, [Thy] sins are forgiven [thee]; or to say, Arise, and take up thy couch and walk?

10But that ye may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, he says to the paralytic,

11To thee I say, Arise, take up thy couch and go to thine house.
