Matthew 9: 1 - 8
|
| 1 | And getting into a boat he crossed over and came to his own city. |
| 2 | And behold, they brought to him a paralytic, lying on his bed; and when Jesus saw their faith he said to the paralytic, "Take heart, my son; your sins are forgiven." |
| 3 | And behold, some of the scribes said to themselves, "This man is blaspheming." |
| 4 | But Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, "Why do you think evil in your hearts? |
| 5 | For which is easier, to say, `Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, `Rise and walk'? |
| 6 | But that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins" -- he then said to the paralytic -- "Rise, take up your bed and go home." |
| 7 | And he rose and went home. |
| 8 | When the crowds saw it, they were afraid, and they glorified God, who had given such authority to men |
