This man was listening to Paul as he spoke, who, when he had fixed his gaze on him and had seen that he had faith to be made well,

For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;

constantly bearing in mind your work of faith and labor of love and

steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the presence of our God and Father,

But someone may well say, “You have faith and I have works; show me your faith without the works, and I will show you my faith by my works.”

He said

Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven’; or to say, ‘Get up, and pick up your pallet and walk’?

As a result of the anguish of His soul,
He will see it and be satisfied;
By His knowledge the Righteous One,
My Servant, will justify the many,
As He will bear their iniquities.

bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you.

And He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace and be healed of your affliction.”

But Jesus turning and seeing her said, “Daughter, take courage; your faith has made you well.”

At once the woman was made well.

And He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace.”

Sins

That He may turn man aside from his conduct,
And keep man from pride;

A Psalm of David. A Maskil.

How blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven,

Whose sin is covered!

For we have been consumed by Your anger
And by Your wrath we have been dismayed.

Who pardons all your iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases;

“Lo, for my own welfare I had great bitterness;
It is You who has

kept my soul from the pit of nothingness,

For You have cast all my sins behind Your back.

Afterward Jesus *found him in the temple and said to him, “Behold, you have become well; do not sin anymore, so that nothing worse happens to you.”

For this reason many among you are weak and sick, and a number

sleep.

restore the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up, and if he has committed sins, they will be forgiven him.
