* And again He entered into Capernaum after some days . And it was heard that He was in a house . * And at once many were gathered , so as none any longer had room , not even to the door . And He spoke the Word to them . * And they came to Him carrying a paralytic , being borne by four . * And not being able to draw near to Him , due to the crowd , they unroofed the roof where He was . And digging through , they lowered the cot on which the paralytic was lying . * And seeing their faith , Jesus said to the paralytic , Child , your sins are forgiven to you . * But some of the scribes were sitting there and reasoning in their hearts , * Why does this one speak blasphemies this way ? Who is able to forgive sins , except One , God ? * And instantly knowing in His spirit that they reasoned this way within themselves , Jesus said to them , Why do you reason these things in your hearts ? * Which is easier ? To say to the paralytic , Your sins are forgiven to you , or to say , Rise up and take your cot and walk ? * But that you may know that the Son of man has authority to forgive sins on the earth , He said to the paralytic , * I say to you , Rise up and take up your cot and go to your house . * And at once he rose up . And taking his cot , he went out before all , so that all were amazed and glorified God , saying , Never did we see it this way .
