Mark 2:8-12 ▼

8 Immediately Jesus, aware in His spirit that they were reasoning that way within themselves, said to them, |Why are you reasoning about these things in your hearts?

9 |Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, 'Your sins are forgiven; or to say, 'Get up, and pick up your pallet and walk'?

10 |But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins|-- He said to the paralytic,

11 |I say to you, get up, pick up your pallet and go home.|

12 And he got up and immediately picked up the pallet and went out in the sight of everyone, so that they were all amazed and were glorifying God, saying, |We have never seen anything like this.|
