And it came about that on one of these days he was teaching ;
and some Pharisees and teachers of the law were seated there ,
who had come from every town of Galilee and Judaea and from Jerusalem ;
and the power of the Lord was with him ,
to make those who were ill free from their diseases .
bbe @
Luke:5:18 @
And some men had with them ,
on a bed ,
a man who was ill ,
without power of moving ;
and they made attempts to get him in and put him before Jesus .
bbe @
Luke:5:19 @
And because of the mass of people ,
there was no way to get him in ;
so they went up on the top of the house and let him down through the roof ,
on his bed ,
into the middle in front of Jesus .
bbe @
Luke:5:20 @
And seeing their faith he said ,
Man ,
you have forgiveness for your sins .
bbe @
Luke:5:21 @
And the scribes and Pharisees were having an argument ,
saying ,
Who is this ,
who has no respect for God ?
who is able to give forgiveness for sins ,
but God only ?
bbe @
Luke:5:22 @
But Jesus ,
who had knowledge of their thoughts ,
said to them ,
Why are you reasoning in your hearts ?
bbe @
Luke:5:23 @
Which is the simpler :
to say ,
You have forgiveness for your sins ;
or to say ,
Get up and go ?
bbe @
Luke:5:24 @
But so that you may see that on earth the Son of man has authority for the forgiveness of sins , (
he said to the man who was ill ,)
I say to you ,
Get up ,
and take up your bed ,
and go into your house .

Luke:5:25 @
And straight away he got up before them ,
and took up his bed and went away to his house giving praise to God .
bbe @
Luke:5:26 @
And wonder overcame them all ,
and they gave glory to God ;
and they were full of fear ,
saying ,
We have seen strange things today .
