mnt - Mark:2:1-12

mnt@Mark:2:1 @ Some days later when Jesus entered Capernaum again the news spread, "He is in the house";

mnt@Mark:2:2 @ and at once such a crowd gathered that there was no longer room for them, even around the door.

mnt@Mark:2:3 @ While he was speaking his message, they came bringing to him a paralytic, carried by four men.

mnt@Mark:2:4 @ When they could not get him near to Jesus because of the crowd, they removed the roof under which he stood, and after making an opening, they let down the cot on which the paralytic was lying.

mnt@Mark:2:5 @ Then Jesus, when he perceived their faith, said to the paralytic, "Son your sins are forgiven."

mnt@Mark:2:6 @ But there were some Scribes sitting there who reasoned in their hearts.

mnt@Mark:2:7 @ "Why does this man speak like this? He blasphemes. Who is able to forgive sins but One, God himself?"

mnt@Mark:2:8 @ Jesus clearly perceived at once be the Spirit that they were thus reasoning in their hearts and said to them.

mnt@Mark:2:9 @ "Why do you reason thus in your hearts? Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, Your sins are forgiven, or to say, Rise, take up your cot and walk?

mnt@Mark:2:10 @ But to let you see that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins" -he said to the paralytic-

mnt@Mark:2:11 @ "I bid you rise, take up your cot, and go home."

mnt@Mark:2:12 @ The man rose, at once took up his cot, and went out before them all; at which they were all astounded, and gave God glory, saying, "We never saw anything like this."
