But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins" -- he said to the paralyzed man -- "I tell you, stand up, take your stretcher and go home."

Immediately he stood up before them, picked up the stretcher he had been lying on, and went home, glorifying God.

And he got up and followed him, leaving everything behind.

Her spirit returned, and she got up immediately. Then he told them to give her something to eat.

Then he took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven he gave thanks and broke them. He gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd.
