Mark 2:5-7

Expanded Bible

⁵ When Jesus saw the faith of these people, he said to the paralyzed man, “·Young man [Child; Son], your sins are forgiven.”

⁶ Some of the ·teachers of the law [scribes] were sitting there, thinking to themselves, ⁷ “Why does this man ·say things like that [speak this way]? He is ·speaking as if he were God [^Lblaspheming]. ·Only God can forgive sins.” [^L“Who can forgive sins but God alone?”; cf. Is. 43:25].
