Mark 2:5-12

21st Century King James Version

⁵ When Jesus saw their faith, He said unto the one sick with the palsy, “Son, thy sins are forgiven thee.”

⁶ But there were certain of the scribes sitting there and reasoning in their hearts,

⁷ “Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God only?”

⁸ 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:

⁹ whether it is easier to say to the sick with the palsy, ‘Thy sins are forgiven thee,’ or to say, ‘Arise, and take up thy bed and walk’?

¹⁰ But that ye may know that the Son of Man hath power on earth to forgive sins—” He said to the one sick with the palsy,

¹¹ “I say unto thee, arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house.”

¹² And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all, insomuch that they all were amazed and glorified God, saying, “We never saw it in this fashion!”
