"We never saw anything like this!"

Mark 2:1-12

And when he returned to Capernaum after some days, it was reported that he was at home. And many were gathered together, so that there was no longer room for them, not even about the door; and he was preaching the word to them. And they came, bringing to him a paralytic carried by four men. And when they could not get near him because of the crowd, they removed the roof above him; and when they had made an opening, they let down the pallet on which the paralytic lay. And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "My son, your sins are forgiven." Now some of the scribes were sitting there, questioning in their hearts, "Why does this man speak thus? It is blasphemy! Who can forgive sins but God alone?" And immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they thus questioned within themselves, said to them, "Why do you question thus in your hearts? Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, `Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, `Rise, take up your pallet and walk'? But that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins" -- he said to the paralytic -- "I say to you, rise, take up your pallet and go home." And he rose, and immediately took up the pallet and went out before them all; so that they were all amazed and glorified God, saying, "We never saw anything like this!"

Hugot karajaw an pagtuo nan upat ka mga amigo nan paralitiko o bakol na matambay gajud ni Jesus ini’n ila tagpas’an na maysakit.

Imposible unta sila makasuyod sa kuwarto kon diin nagtudlo si Lord kay puno man nan nag-punsisok na mga tawo an bayay.

Pero taghanapan gajud nila nan medyos o paagi na makasuyod an ila pas’an-pas’an na masakiton kay lagi, hugot man gajud an ila pagtuo na madajaw ni Jesus an ija paralisis.

Tu’od man, natambay gajud an paralitiko – taghipos nija an ija taghigdaan sanan nopanaw na daya an pasidaan ni Jesus na dili ipanabi an nahitabo dija – tungod kay hugot man gajud karajaw an pagtuo nan upat ka mga amigo nija na matambay sija.

Kita, hugot ba ‘sab an ato pagtuo na si Jesus na ato Lord ra gajud an dayan pasingod nadto sa langit’non na kinabuhi?

"Lord Jesus, through your merciful love and forgiveness you bring healing and restoration to body, soul, and mind. May your healing power and love touch every area of my life – my innermost thoughts, feelings, attitudes, and memories. Pardon my offenses and transform me in the power of your Holy Spirit that I may walk confidently in your truth and righteousness."
