but after he had planned this, there appeared an angel of the Lord to him in a dream saying, "Joseph, son of David, fear not to take Mary your wife home, for what is begotten in her comes from the holy Spirit.

So on waking from sleep Joseph did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him; he took his wife home,

saying, "Sir, my servant is lying ill at home with paralysis, in terrible agony."

But to let you see the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins" ??he then said to the paralytic, "Get up, lift your pallet, and go home."

And he got up and went home.

So they were repelled by him. But Jesus said to them, "A prophet never goes without honour except in his native place and in his home."
