*
And when they had brought their ships to land ,
they forsook all ,
and followed him .
*
And it came to pass ,
when he was in a certain city ,
behold a man full of leprosy :
who seeing Jesus fell on his face ,
and besought him ,
saying ,
Lord ,
if thou wilt ,
thou canst make me clean .
*
And he put forth his hand ,
and touched him ,
saying ,
I will :
be thou clean .
And immediately the leprosy departed from him .
*
And he charged him to tell no man :
but go ,
and shew thyself to the priest ,
and offer for thy cleansing ,
according as Moses commanded ,
for a testimony unto them .
*
But so much the more went there a fame abroad of him :
and great multitudes came together to hear ,
and to be healed by him of their infirmities .
*
And he withdrew himself into the wilderness ,
and prayed .
*
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 .
*
And after these things he went forth ,
and saw a publican ,
named Levi ,
sitting at the receipt of custom :
and he said unto him ,
Follow me .
