* And it came to pass on a certain day , as he was teaching , that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by , which were come out of every town of Galilee , and Judaea , and Jerusalem : and the power of the Lord was present to heal them . * And , behold , men brought in a bed a man which was taken with a palsy : and they sought means to bring him in , and to lay him before him . * And when they could not find by what way they might bring him in because of the multitude , they went upon the housetop , and let him down through the tiling with his couch into the midst before Jesus . * And when he saw their faith , he said unto him , Man , thy sins are forgiven thee . * And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason , saying , Who is this which speaketh blasphemies ? Who can forgive sins , but God alone ? * But when Jesus perceived their thoughts , he answering said unto them , What reason ye in your hearts ? * Whether is easier , to say , Thy sins be forgiven thee ; or to say , Rise up and walk ? * But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins , (he said unto the sick of the palsy ,) I say unto thee , Arise , and take up thy couch , and go into thine house . * And immediately he rose up before them , and took up that whereon he lay , and departed to his own house , glorifying God . * And they were all amazed , and they glorified God , and were filled with fear , saying , We have seen strange things to day .
