Mark 2:5 (NIV) When Jesus
saw their faith, he said to the paralytic,
"Son, your sins are forgiven." 6 Now some teachers of the law were sitting there, thinking to themselves, 7
"Why does this fellow talk like that?
He's blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but
God alone?" 8 Immediately Jesus knew in his spirit that this was what they were thinking in their
hearts, and he said to them, "Why are you
thinking these things? 9 Which is easier: to say
to the paralytic, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Get up, take your mat and walk'? 10 But that you
may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to
forgive sins ..." He said to the
paralytic, 11 "I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home." 12 He got up, took his mat
and walked out in full view of them all. This amazed
everyone and they praised God, saying,
"We have never seen anything like this!"
