Neville Goddard on Mark 2:3-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Mark 2 in context

Scripture Focus

3And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four.

4And 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.

5When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.

6But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,

Mark 2:3-6

Biblical Context

In Mark 2:3-6, friends bring a paralyzed man to Jesus; seeing their faith, Jesus forgives the man's sins before healing him.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider the scene as a map of inner life. The four friends are the persistent thoughts carrying your desire for change; the crowded room and broken roof represent the old beliefs and defenses you break through in consciousness. When Jesus declares forgiveness, he speaks to your I AM awareness, the seat of inner truth, releasing guilt and self-judgment stored in the subconscious. Their faith triggers a shift in your own state, revealing that forgiveness is a redefining of what you hold as real. The paralytic’s eventual healing is the outer sign of this inner revision, a natural consequence of aligning belief with your true essence. Mercy and grace unfold as you claim a new identity—one that heals not by external decree but by an internal recognition of wholeness. The miracle, in Neville terms, is the coordination of your inner state with your outward life, proving that your faith can move the very conditions you call present reality.

Practice This Now

Choose the paralytic as your current sense of limitation. Revise your state to 'I am forgiven and whole,' and feel that truth until it dominates your thoughts; then observe how your outer circumstances begin to align with this inner conviction.
