2And many were gathered together, so that there was no longer room [for them], no, not even about the door: and he spake the word unto them.
3And they come, bringing unto him a man sick of the palsy, borne of four.
4And when they could not come nigh unto him for the crowd, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed whereon the sick of the palsy lay.
5And Jesus seeing their faith saith unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins are forgiven.
6But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
7Why doth this man thus speak? he blasphemeth: who can forgive sins but one, [even] God?
8And straightway Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, saith unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?
