1
And Jesus went up into a boat, and passed over the water, and came into his city.
2
And lo! they brought to him a man sick in palsy, lying in a bed. And Jesus saw the faith of them, and said to the man sick in palsy, Son, have thou trust; thy sins be forgiven to thee [Forsooth Jesus, seeing the faith of them, said to the man sick in palsy, Son, have trust; thy sins be forgiven to thee].
3
And lo! some of the scribes said within themselves, This blasphemeth.
4
And when Jesus had seen their thoughts, he said, Whereto think ye evil things in your hearts?
5
What is lighter to say, Thy sins be forgiven to thee, either to say [or to say], Rise thou, and walk?
6
But that ye know that man's Son hath power to forgive sins in earth, then he said to the sick man in palsy [then he said to the man sick in palsy], Rise up; take thy bed, and go into thine house.
7
And he rose, and went into his house.
