Mark 2:6

There were some scribes sitting there pondering and saying to themselves,

But they were discussing something with one another, and saying, "We have not brought any bread!"

And he noticed it and said to them, "Why do you discuss your being without bread? Do you not yet see nor understand? Are your minds so dull?

And the scribes and the Pharisees began to debate and say, "Who is this man who talks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?"

I destroy arguments and every obstacle that is raised against the knowledge of God, and I take captive every thought and make it obey Christ,

But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,

"Receive the holy Spirit! If you forgive any men's sins, they are forgiven them, and if you fix any men's sins upon them, they will remain fixed."
