4. And when they could not offer him unto him for the multitude, they uncovered the roof where he was; and opening it, they let down the bed wherein the man sick of the palsy lay.
5. And when Jesus had seen their faith, he saith to the sick of the palsy: Son, thy sins are forgiven thee.
6. And there were some of the scribes sitting there, and thinking in their hearts:
7. Why doth this man speak thus? he blasphemeth. Who can forgive sins, but God only?
