9
Was ist leichter zu dem Gichtbrüchigen zu sagen: Dir sind die Sünden vergeben, oder zu sagen: Mache dich auf, nimm dein Tragbett auf und wandle!
Markus 2:9
This translation of the Bible was made by Leonhard Tafel, and published in 1911. Tafel was a leader of the Swedenborgian movement in Germany during the 1800's, and a leading Bible scholar. In this translation, Tafel followed the original Hebrew and Greek carefully, so as to preserve the inner layers of meaning that were explained in Swedenborg's exegetical works - also translated from Latin into German by Tafel and his sons.
