Inner Reasoning and Healing Power

Mark 2:8-9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Mark 2 in context

Scripture Focus

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?
9Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?
Mark 2:8-9

Biblical Context

Jesus, sensing their inward argument, asks why they reason in their hearts. He contrasts forgiving sins with healing the body, pointing to inner faith as the true mover.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within these verses you hear the I AM speaking through Jesus: the inner Narrator who perceives the inner movements of thought. They reason in their hearts—a subtle doubt dressed as logic—while the body lies as witness. Jesus names the vibration behind the argument: why do you reason in your hearts? The healing begins in the inner assumption, not in the outer proof. To declare 'thy sins are forgiven' is to forgive in consciousness, to align your inner state with wholeness. To say 'arise and walk' is to embody the same inner movement: the restoration of your unity between consciousness and form. The whole drama reveals that the power to heal is not a distant act but a present assumption, a state you inhabit. When you refuse to argue with the old scene and instead assume the reality of your desired state, you awaken the I AM to rise.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly, close your eyes, and assume the feeling of forgiveness and wholeness as already yours. Repeat I AM forgiven; I AM healed, and visualize the inner body rising into perfect alignment with your consciousness.
