1

A few days later Jesus went back to Capernaum. And when the people heard that He was home,

Some days later he came back to Capernaum, and people heard that he was at home,

2

they gathered in such large numbers that there was no more room, not even outside the door, as Jesus spoke the word to them.

and such a crowd gathered that after a while there was no room even around the door, and he was telling them his message.

3

Then a paralytic was brought to Him, carried by four men.

And some people came bringing to him a man who was paralyzed, four of them carrying him.

4

Since they were unable to get to Jesus through the crowd, they uncovered the roof above Him, made an opening, and lowered the paralytic on his mat.

As they could not get him near Jesus on account of the crowd, they broke open the roof just over his head, and through the opening they lowered the mat with the paralytic lying on it.

5

When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”

When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “My son, your sins are forgiven.”

6

But some of the scribes were sitting there and thinking in their hearts,

There were some scribes sitting there pondering and saying to themselves,

7

“Why does this man speak like this? He is blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

“Why does this man talk so? This is blasphemy. Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

8

At once Jesus knew in His spirit that they were thinking this way within themselves. “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?” He asked.

Jesus, at once perceiving by his spirit that they were pondering over this, said to them, “Why do you ponder over this in your minds?

9

“Which is easier: to say to a paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up, pick up your mat, and walk’?

Which is easier, to say to this paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say to him, “Get up and pick up your mat 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,

But to let you know that the Son of Man has authority to forgive sins on earth,” turning to the paralytic he said,

11

“I tell you, get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”

“I tell you, get up, pick up your mat, and go home!”

12

And immediately the man got up, picked up his mat, and walked out in front of them all. As a result, they were all astounded and glorified God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this!”

And he got up, and immediately picked up his mat and went out before them all, so that they were all astonished and acknowledged the power of God, saying, “We never saw anything like this before.”
