Jesus Forgives and Heals A Paralyzed Man: Mark 2:1-12

Four men brought a paralyzed man to see Jesus because of the large crowd. Unable to get near Jesus, they made an opening in the roof and lowered the man on his mat. When Jesus saw their faith, he forgave the man's sins. Teachers of the law questioned Jesus' ability to forgive sins, but Jesus showed he had authority on earth to forgive sins by then healing the paralyzed man. The man got up, took his mat and walked, amazing everyone.

Mark 2:1-12New International Version (NIV)

Jesus Forgives and Heals a Paralyzed Man


2 A few days later, when Jesus again entered Capernaum, the people heard that he
had come home. 2 They gathered in such large numbersthat there was no room left,
not even outside the door, and he preached the word to them. 3 Some men came,
bringing to him a paralyzed man,carried by four of them. 4 Since they could not get
him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus
by digging through it and then lowered the mat the man was lying on. 5 When Jesus
saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, 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? Hes 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 this paralyzed man, Your sins are forgiven, or to say, Get up, take your
mat and walk? 10 But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth
to forgive sins. So he said to the man, 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!
