Matthew:9:2-6
rsv@Matthew:9:2 @ And behold, they brought to him a paralytic, lying on his bed; and when Jesus saw their faith he said to the paralytic, "Take heart, my son; your sins are forgiven."
rsv@Matthew:9:3 @ And behold, some of the scribes said to themselves, "This man is blaspheming."
rsv@Matthew:9:4 @ But Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, "Why do you think evil in your hearts?
rsv@Matthew:9:5 @ For which is easier, to say, `Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, `Rise and walk'?
rsv@Matthew:9:6 @ But that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins"--he then said to the paralytic--"Rise, take up your bed and go home."
