tcent - Mark:2:1-12

tcent@Mark:2:1 @ And when he entered Capernaum after some days, it was heard that he was home.

tcent@Mark:2:2 @ And many gathered together, so that there was no longer room to receive them, not even near the door. And he preached the word to them.

tcent@Mark:2:3 @ Then they came to him, bringing a paralytic carried by four men.

tcent@Mark:2:4 @ And when they could not get near him because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above him; and when they had broken through, they let down the pallet on which the paralytic was lying.

tcent@Mark:2:5 @ When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, »Son, your sins are forgiven.«

tcent@Mark:2:6 @ Now some of the scribes were sitting there, reasoning in their hearts,

tcent@Mark:2:7 @ »Why does this man speak like this? He is blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?«

tcent@Mark:2:8 @ And immediately, when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they reasoned thus within themselves, he said to them, »Why do you reason about these things in your hearts?

tcent@Mark:2:9 @ Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, Your sins are forgiven, or to say, Rise, take up your pallet and walk?

tcent@Mark:2:10 @ But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins«he said to the paralytic,

tcent@Mark:2:11 @ »I say to you, rise, take up your pallet and go home.«

tcent@Mark:2:12 @ And he rose, and immediately took up the pallet and went out in the sight of them all; so that they were all amazed and glorified God, saying, »We never saw anything like this!«
