Part 2

41:001:027 And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him.

41:001:028 And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee.

41:001:029 And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

41:001:030 But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they tell him of her.

41:001:031 And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.

41:001:032 And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils.

41:001:033 And all the city was gathered together at the door.

41:001:034 And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him.

41:001:035 And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.

41:001:036 And Simon and they that were with him followed after him.

41:001:037 And when they had found him, they said unto him, All men seek for thee.

41:001:038 And he said unto them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for therefore came I forth.

41:001:039 And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast out devils.

41:001:040 And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

41:001:041 And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean.

41:001:042 And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.

41:001:043 And he straitly charged him, and forthwith sent him away;

41:001:044 And saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

41:001:045 But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.

41:002:001 And again he entered into Capernaum after some days; and it was noised that he was in the house.

41:002:002 And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word unto them.

41:002:003 And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four.

41:002:004 And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.

41:002:005 When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.

41:002:006 But there was certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,

41:002:007 Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?

41:002:008 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?

41:002:009 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?
