rsv@Mark:2:7 @ "Why does this man speak thus? It is blasphemy! Who can forgive sins but God alone?"

rsv@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'?
rsv@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--
rsv@Mark:2:11 @ "I say to you, rise, take up your pallet and go home."
