Context

Jesus Heals the Paralytic

1And again he entered into Capernaum after some days; and it was noised that he was in the house. 2And straightway many were gathered together, so that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word to them. 3And they come to him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four. 4And when they could not come near to 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. 5When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the sick of the palsy, Son, your sins be forgiven you. 6But there was certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, 7Why does this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only? 8And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said to them, Why reason you these things in your hearts? 9Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Your sins be forgiven you; or to say, Arise, and take up your bed, and walk? 10But that you may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, (he said to the sick of the palsy,) 11I say to you, Arise, and take up your bed, and go your way into your house. 12And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; so that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.
