And againe hee entred into Capernaum after some dayes, and it was noysed that he was in the house.

And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no roome to receiue them, no not so much as about the doore: and he preached the word vnto them.

And they come vnto him, bringing one sicke of the palsie, which was borne of foure.

And when they could not come nigh vnto him for preasse, they vncouered the roofe where he was: and when they had broken it vp, they let downe the bed wherin the sick of the palsie lay.

When Iesus saw their faith, hee said vnto the sicke of the palsie, Sonne, thy sinnes be forgiuen thee.

But there were certaine of the Scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,

Why doeth this man thus speake blasphemies? Who can forgiue sinnes but God onely?

And immediatly, when Iesus perceiued in his Spirit, that they so reasoned within themselues, he said vnto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?

I say vnto thee, Arise, & take vp thy bed, & goe thy way into thine house.

And immediatly he arose, tooke vp the bed, and went foorth before them all, insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, Wee neuer saw it on this fashion.
