Markos 2:7-9

Orthodox Jewish Bible

⁷ Why is this one speaking thus? He is guilty of Chillul Hashem gidduf (Desecration of the Name, blasphemy). Who is able to grant selicha (forgiveness) to averos (sins) except Hashem? [YESHAYAH 43:25]

⁸ And, ofen ort (immediately), having had daas in his ruach that in this way they were thinking, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach says to them, Why are you considering such things in your levavot?

⁹ Which is easier? To say to the paralytic, Your averos are granted selicha, or to say, Stand and pick up your mat and walk?
