2:1 Yeshua heals a paralysed man

(Mat. 9:1-8, Luke 5:17-26)

2When Yeshua came back to Capernaum after a few days, people soon heard that he was back in the house. 2And so many people turned up there that there wasn’t any room left—not even in the doorway. Inside, Yeshua was explaining the Scriptures to them. 3Four men arrived, carrying a paralysed man to Yeshua, 4but because of the crowd, they were unable to get close. So they climbed up onto the flat roof, made a hole through it, and lowered the paralysed man lying on a pallet. 5Yeshua, observing their faith, said to the man, “Son, your sins are forgiven![fn]

6But some of the religious teachers were sitting there, thinking to themselves, 7“Why’s he talking like that? He’s seriously insulting God. There’s only one who can forgive sins, and that’s God himself.”

8Then Yeshua, knowing in his spirit that they are thinking like that, said to them, “Why are you thinking that to yourselves? 9Which is easier: to tell the paralysed man that his sins have been forgiven, or to tell him to pick up his bedding and walk? 10But so you all can see that humanity’s child does have authority here on the earth to forgive sins,” he turned and said to the paralysed man, 11Listen. Get up, take your bedding, and go home!

12So the man stood up, and picked up his bedding, and went out of the house where everyone saw him and marvelled and praised God saying, “We’ve never seen anything happen like this before!”


2:5 Yeshua’s hearers would have taken this as a claim to be God, as they knew that only God could forgive sins.

2And having_come_in again into Kafarnaʼoum through days, it_was_heard that he_is in the_house.
2And many were_gathered_together so_that no_longer to_be_having_room, not even which at the door, and he_was_speaking the message to_them.
3And they_are_coming bringing a_paralytic to him, being_carried by four.
4And not being_able to_bring to_him because_of the crowd, they_unroofed the roof where he_was, and having_dug_ it _out, they_are_lowering the pallet where the paralytic was_lying.
5And the Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) having_seen the faith of_them, he_is_saying to_the paralytic:
Child, the sins of_you have_been_forgiven.
6But some of_the scribes were there, sitting and reasoning in the hearts of_them, 7Why is_ this man _speaking thus?
He_is_slandering.
Who is_able to_be_forgiving sins, except not/lest one, the god?
8And the Yaʸsous immediately having_known in_the spirit of_him that they_are_reasoning thus in themselves, he_is_saying to_them:
Why these things you_all_are_reasoning in the hearts of_you_all?
9Which is easier, to_say to_the paralytic:
The sins have_been_forgiven to_you.
or to_say:
Be_raising and take_up the pallet of_you and be_walking?
10But in_order_that you_all_may_have_known that the son of_ the _man is_having authority on the earth to_be_forgiving sins, (he_is_saying to_the paralytic), 11To_you I_am_saying, be_raising, take_up the pallet of_you, and be_going to the home of_you.
12And he_was_raised, and immediately having_taken_up the pallet, he_came_out before all so_as all to_be_marvelling and to_be_glorifying the god saying, that We_ never _saw thus.
