Jesus Heals a Paralytic
1 And getting into a boat he crossed over and came to
1his own city.
2
2And behold, some people brought to him a paralytic, lying on a bed. And when Jesus
3saw their faith, he said to the paralytic,
4“Take heart, my son;
5your sins are forgiven. ”
3
And behold, some of the scribes said to themselves,
6“This man is blaspheming. ”
4
But Jesus,
7knowing their thoughts, said, “Why do you think evil in your hearts?
5
For which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven, ’ or to say, ‘Rise and walk’?
6
But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he then said to the paralytic—“Rise, pick up your bed and go home. ”
7
And he rose and went home.
8
When the crowds saw it,
8they were afraid, and
9they glorified God, who had
10given such authority to men.
