"But some of the scribes were sitting in that place and thinking in their hearts: "
— Mark 2:6, Catholic Public Domain Version
“But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,”
“But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, ”
“But there were some of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,”
“Now some of the experts in the law were sitting there, turning these things over in their minds:”
“And there were some of the scribes sitting there and thinking in their hearts:”
“But there were certain of the scribes seated there, and reasoning in their hearts,”
“But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,”
And they came to him, bringing a paralytic, who was being carried by four men.
And when they were not able to present him to him because of the crowd, they uncovered the roof where he was. And opening it, they lowered down the stretcher on which the paralytic was lying.
Then, when Jesus had seen their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.”
But some of the scribes were sitting in that place and thinking in their hearts:
“Why is this man speaking in this way? He is blaspheming. Who can forgive sins, but God alone?”
At once, Jesus, realizing in his spirit that they were thinking this within themselves, said to them: “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?
Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Rise up, take up your stretcher, and walk?’
