Mark 2:3 - Forerunner Commentary

Mark 2:3

Jesus Forgives and Heals a Paralytic

1 And again ^aHe entered Capernaum after some days, and it was heard that He was in the house.

2 ¹Immediately many gathered together, so that there was no longer room to receive them, not even near the door. And He preached the word to them.

3 Then they came to Him, bringing a ^aparalytic who was carried by four men.

4 And when they could not come near Him because of the crowd, they uncovered the roof where He was. So when they had broken through, they let down the bed on which the paralytic was lying.

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

6 And some of the scribes were sitting there and reasoning in their hearts,

7 “Why does this Man speak blasphemies like this? ^aWho can forgive sins but God alone?”
