BASIC SCRIPTURE: MARK 2: 1-12
Basic Scripture for Thursday, November 27, 2025
MARK 2: 1-12 (NKJV)
1 And again He entered Capernaum after some days, and it was heard that He was in the house.
2 Immediately many gathered together, so that there was no longer room to receive them, not even near the door. And He preached the word to them.
3 Then they came to Him, bringing a paralytic who was carried by four men.
4 And when they could not come near Him because of the crowd, they uncovered the roof where He was. So when they had broken through, they let down the bed on which the paralytic was lying.
5 When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.”
6 And some of the scribes were sitting there and reasoning in their hearts,
7 “Why does this Man speak blasphemies like this? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”
8 But immediately, when Jesus perceived in His spirit that they reasoned thus within themselves, He said to them, “Why do you reason about these things in your hearts?
9 Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Arise, take up your bed and walk’?
10 But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins”—He said to the paralytic,
11 “I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.”
12 Immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went out in the presence of them all, so that all were amazed and glorified God, saying, “We never saw anything like this!”
Summary and Key Lessons
This powerful story demonstrates not just Jesus’ power to heal, but His supreme authority to forgive sins. The paralytic’s healing was a physical sign of a spiritual reality. Key lessons include:
-
The Power of Corporate Faith: The paralytic was healed because of the persistent, faith-filled actions of his four friends. Our faith can bring breakthrough for others.
-
Breaking Through Barriers: The friends did not let the crowd stop them. They found a creative, radical way to get to Jesus, teaching us to persevere in the face of obstacles.
-
Jesus’ Primary Mission: Jesus addressed the root cause (sin) before the symptom (sickness), showing that spiritual wholeness is His greatest priority.
-
The Authority of the Son of Man: Jesus proved His divine authority by both forgiving sins (an invisible act) and healing the paralytic (a visible, verifiable act).
