Mark 2:9 in Context — Mark 2

7 Comment cet homme parle-t-il ainsi? Il blasphème. Qui peut pardonner les péchés, si ce n’est Dieu seul?

8 Jésus, ayant aussitôt connu par son esprit ce qu’ils pensaient au-dedans d’eux, leur dit: Pourquoi avez-vous de telles pensées dans vos cœurs?

9 Lequel est le plus aisé, de dire au paralytique: Tes péchés sont pardonnés, ou de dire: Lève-toi, prends ton lit, et marche?

10 Or, afin que vous sachiez que le Fils de l’homme a sur la terre le pouvoir de pardonner les péchés:

11 Je te l’ordonne, dit-il au paralytique, lève-toi, prends ton lit, et va dans ta maison.
