* And again he entered into Capernaum after some days ; and it was noised that he was in the house . * And straightway 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 come unto him , bringing one sick of the palsy , which was borne of four . * And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press , they uncovered the roof where he was : and when they had broken it up , they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay . * When Jesus saw their faith , he said unto the sick of the palsy , Son , thy sins be forgiven thee . * But there were certain of the scribes sitting there , and reasoning in their hearts , * Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies ? who can forgive sins but God only ? * And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves , he said unto them , Why reason ye these things in your hearts ? * Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy , Thy sins be forgiven thee ; or to say , Arise , and take up thy bed , and walk ? * But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins , (he saith to the sick of the palsy ,) * I say unto thee , Arise , and take up thy bed , and go thy way into thine house . * And immediately 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 it on this fashion .
