Sunday Bible Message- Jesus Heals a Paralytic

Mark2: 1-12
Jesus Heals a Paralytic

When herreturned to Capernaum after some days, it was reported that he was at home. So many gathered around that there was no longer room for them, not even infront of the door; and he was speaking the word to them. Then some people came bringing him a paralysed man, carried by four of them. And when they couldn't bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, they remove the roof above him; and after having dug through it, they let down the mat on which the paralytic lay. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paraytic, 'Son your sins are forgiven'. Now some of the scribes were sitting there, questioning in their hearts, 'Why does this fellow speak in this way? It is blasphemy! Who can forgive sins but God alone?' At once Jesus perceived in his spirit that they were discussing these questions among themselves; and he said to them, 'Why do you raise such questions in your heart? Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, "your sins are forgiven", to say "stand up and take your mat and walk"? But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins'-he said to the paralytic- 'I say to you, stand up, take your mat and go home'. And he stood up, and immediately took the mat and went out before all of them; so that they were all amazed and glorified God, saying 'We have never seen anything like this!'
