Mark 2:7 DBY

⁵  But Jesus, seeing their faith, says to the paralytic, Child, thy sins are forgiven [thee].

⁶  But certain of the scribes were there sitting, and reasoning in their hearts,

⁷  Why does this [man] thus speak? he blasphemes. Who is able to forgive sins except God alone?

⁸  And straightway Jesus, knowing in his spirit that they are reasoning thus within themselves, said to them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?

⁹  Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, [Thy] sins are forgiven [thee]; or to say, Arise, and take up thy couch and walk?
