“Why does this fellow speak like this? He blasphemes! Who can pardon sins but God alone?”

Read Mark 2
When He returned to Capernaum after some days, it was heard that He was at the house.
Some people came bringing to Him a paralyzed man, carried by four men. When they couldn’t get near Yeshua because of the crowd, they removed the roof where He was. After digging through, they lowered the mat on which the paralyzed man was lying. Yeshua, seeing their faith, said to the paralyzed man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” But some of the Torah scholars were sitting there, questioning in their hearts
So many were gathered that there was no longer room for them even outside the door. He kept proclaiming the word to them.
Immediately Yeshua, knowing in His spirit that they were raising questions this way within themselves, said to them, “Why are you questioning these things in your hearts? Which is easier, to say to the paralyzed man, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up, and take your mat and walk’? But so you may know that the Son of Man has authority to pardon sins on earth….” He tells the paralyzed man, “I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home!” At once the man got up, took his mat, and walked before them all. They were all astonished and glorified God, saying, “We’ve never seen anything like this!”
