AND going on board the vessel, he passed over, and came to his own city. And lo! they brought him a paralytic stretched on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said to the paralytic, Be of good cheer, son; thy sins are forgiven thee. And lo! some of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth. read more.
And Jesus, seeing their thoughts, said, wherefore do ye imagine evil things in your hearts? For which is the easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk? But that ye may know that the Son of man hath authority upon earth to forgive sins, (then he saith to the paralytic,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go into thy house. And he arose, and went to his house. But when the multitude saw it, they were astonished, and glorified God, who had given such power unto men.

AND again he entered into Capernaum after some days: and it was heard, that he was in the house; and immediately many collected round him, so that there was no room, not even at the door; and he spake the word to them. And they come to him, carrying a paralytic, borne of four: read more.
and not being able to come nigh him because of the crowd, they stripped off the roofing of the house where he was; and having broken a way through, they let down with ropes the couch, on which the paralytic lay. Then Jesus beholding their faith, saith to the paralytic, Son, thy sins are forgiven thee. Now there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but the one God? And instantly Jesus knowing by his spirit, that they reasoned thus among each other, said to them, Why reason ye about these things in your hearts? Which is the easier thing, to say to a paralytic, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, Arise and take up thy couch, and walk away? But that ye may know that the Son of man hath authority upon earth to forgive sins, he saith to the paralytic, I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thy house. And he arose instantly, and taking up his couch, went out before them all; so that they were all astonished, and glorified God, saying, We never before saw any thing like this.

And on a certain day it happened that he was teaching, and there were sitting Pharisees, and doctors of the law, who had come from every town of Galilee, and Judea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord for healing them was exercised. And behold, men carried on a couch a man who was a paralytic; and sought to bring him into the house, and to place him before him. And not discovering by what means they could introduce him, because of the crowd, they went up to the roof, and through the tiling let him down with his little couch into the midst, before Jesus. read more.
And seeing their faith, he saith to him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee. And the scribes and Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this that speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone? And Jesus knowing their reasoning, in reply said to them, Why do ye reason in your hearts? for which is the easier? to say, Thy sins are forgiven; or to say, Arise and walk? But that ye may know that the Son of man hath authority upon earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the paralytic,) I say to thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thy house. And instantly he rose up before them, took up that on which he had lain, and went away to his house, giving glory to God. And an extacy of admiration seized upon them all, and they glorified God; and they were filled with awe, saying, We have seen wondrously strange things to-day.
