When he entered again into Capernaum after some days, it was heard that he was at home.
Immediately many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even around the door; and he spoke the word to them.
Four people came, carrying a paralytic to him.

When they could not come near to him for the crowd, they removed the roof where he was. When they had broken it up, they let down the mat that the paralytic was lying on.
Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.”
But there were some of the scribes sitting there and reasoning in their hearts,
“Why does this man speak blasphemies like that? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

Which is easier, to tell the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven;’ or to say, ‘Arise, and take up your bed, and walk’?
But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he said to the paralytic—
“I tell you, arise, take up your mat, and go to your house.”
