Mark 2:6-11

6Now some of the scribes were sitting there, questioning in their hearts,

7"Why does this man speak like that? He is blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?"

8And immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they thus questioned within themselves, said to them, "Why do you question these things in your hearts?

9Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Rise, take up your bed and walk'?

10But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins"—he said to the paralytic—

11"I say to you, rise, pick up your bed, and go home."
