2:01
And entering again into Capernaum through days ...
it is "heard" that he is in a house.
2:02
And many were gathered together so that there was no space between them ...
not even before the door ...
and he spoke "the word" to them.
2:03
And they come carrying a paralytic before him ...
  raised up by "four."
2:04
And not being able to bring him through the "crowd" ...
  they "unroofed the roof" where he was ...
  and digging out ...
  they are lowering the bed upon which the paralytic was laid down.
2:05
And having seen their "faith" ...
  Jesus says to the paralytic ... Child, your "sins" are forgiven.
2:06
Now some of the scribes were sitting there ...
and talking things through in their "hearts."
2:07
Why is this one speaking this? ...
  He is blaspheming!
  Who is able to able to forgive sins ... if not only God?
2:08 And immediately Jesus knew on his "spirit" that they are talking things through among themselves ...
  he says to them ... why are you talking things through in your "hearts"?
2:09 Which is easier to say to the paralytic ... your sins are forgiven? ...
  or to say ... stand!
  and pick up your bed ...
  and walk around?
2:10 But so you may know ...
  that the "son of man" has "authority" to forgive "sins upon the earth" ...
2:11 He says to the paralytic ... I say to you stand! ...
  pick up your bed ...
  and go into your house.
2:12 And he rose ...
  and immediately taking the bed ...
  he went outside in front of everyone ... so as to astonish everyone ...
  and glorifying God they were saying ... We have never seen anything like this.
