* And again he entered into Capernaum after [some ] days , and it was heard that he was in the house . * And soon many were gathered together , insomuch that there was no room to receive [them ], no , not so much as about the door ; and he preached the word unto them . * And they came unto him , bringing a paralytic , carried by four [men ]. * And when they could not come near unto him for the crowd , they uncovered the roof [of the house ] where he was ; and when they had broken it open , they let down the bed in which the paralytic lay . * When Jesus saw their faith , he said unto the paralytic , Son , thy sins are forgiven thee . * But there were certain of the scribes sitting there and thinking in their hearts , * Why does this [fellow ] so blaspheme ? Who can forgive sins but God only ? * And Jesus , knowing afterward in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves , said unto them , Why think ye these things in your hearts ? * What is easier to say to the paralytic , [Thy ] sins are forgiven thee , or to say , Arise and take up thy bed and walk ? * But that ye may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins (he spoke to the sick of the palsy ), * I say unto thee , Arise and take up thy bed and go to thy house . * And by and by he arose , took up the bed , and went forth before them all ; insomuch that they were all amazed and glorified God , saying , We never saw anything like unto this .
