A Paralytic Healed

⁵ For what is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee, or to say, Arise, and walk? ⁶ But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—then He *said to the paralytic, “Get up, pick up your bed and go home.” ⁷ Then he arose and departed to his house.
