Worsley(i)
1 And after some days He went again into Capernaum; and it being heard that He was in the house,
2 great numbers were immediately gathered together, so that there was no more room to contain them, not even about the door: and as he was preaching the word unto them,
3 there came some to Him, bringing a paralytic who was carried by four men:
4 and not being able to come near to Him for the croud, they uncovered the roof where He was, and when they had made an openning, they let down the couch on which the paralytic was laid.
5 And Jesus, seeing their faith, saith to him that had the palsy, Son, thy sins are forgiven thee.
6 But there were some of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
7 Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God?
8 And Jesus, who knew immediately in his spirit that they were thus reasoning within themselves, said unto them, Why do ye dispute these things in your hearts?
9 Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, Thy sins are forgiven; or to say, Rise, take up thy couch, and walk?
10 But that ye may know, that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins,
11 I say unto thee (saith He to the paralytic,) Arise, and take up thy couch, and go thy way to thine own house.
12 And he instantly arose, and taking up his couch, went out before them all, so that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, we never saw the like.
