← Mark 2:8 [words of Jesus]	Mark 2:9 (KJV) [words of Jesus]	Mark 2:10 [words of Jesus] →
And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?	Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, [Thy] sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?	But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,)
