*
And it happened on one of the days ,
even He was teaching .
And Pharisees and teachers of [
the ]
Law were sitting by ,
who had come out of every village of Galilee and Judea and Jerusalem .
And the ]
power of [
the ]
Lord was there ,
for the curing [
of ]
them .
*
And behold ,
men carrying ,
on a cot ,
a man who was paralyzed .
And they sought to bring him in and to lay [
him ]
before Him .
*
And not finding a way by [
which ]
they might bring him in through the crowd ,
going up on the housetop ,
they let him down through the tiles with his cot into the midst ,
before Jesus .
*
And seeing their faith ,
He said to him ,
Man ,
your sins are forgiven you .
*
And the scribes and Pharisees began to reason ,
saying ,
Who is this who speaks blasphemies ?
Who can forgive sins ,
except God alone ?
*
But knowing their thoughts ,
answering ,
Jesus said to them ,
Why do you reason in your hearts ?
*
Which is easier ,
to say ,
Your sins are forgiven you ;
or to say ,
Rise up and walk ?
*
But so that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins ,
He said to the paralytic ,
I say to you ,
Arise ,
and take up your cot [
and ]
go to your house .
*
And immediately he rose up before them and took up [
that ]
on which he lay .
And he departed to his own house ,
glorifying God .
*
And they were all amazed ,
and they glorified God and were filled [
with ]
fear ,
saying ,
We saw wonderful things today .
