Neville Goddard on Mark 2:6-8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Mark 2 in context

Scripture Focus

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

7Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?

8And 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?

Mark 2:6-8

Biblical Context

The scribes question Jesus' authority to forgive sins, while Jesus reads their hearts and responds by exposing the inner movement of judgment.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider Mark 2:6–8 as a scene inside your mind. The scribes are stories you tell about yourself—the inner judgments that declare sin real are simply a belief in separation. Jesus, a symbol of the I AM in you, reads the spirit behind the words and shows the ‘blasphemy’ they fear is not external, but a misperception of unity. In Neville’s terms, God is the I AM awareness that perceives thoughts; forgiveness is not an act done by another but a correction of consciousness. When you feel the inner movement of judgment, you are witnessing an illusion. The power to forgive is the power of recognizing oneness: the same presence that forgives now holds your experience. So the inner scene shifts from condemnation to mercy, from lack to grace, from separation to wholeness. When you stop arguing in your heart and align with the I AM, forgiveness becomes immediate and grace fills your life.

Practice This Now

Sit in silence and revise your inner scene by saying, I am the I AM; I forgive and am forgiven. Feel the unified Presence replace judgment and let the sense of oneness flood your heart.
