3 And they came to him, and brought him a paralytic borne between four.

4 And when they could not approach him for the crowd, they ascended to the roof, and took the covering from the place where Jeshu was, and let down the couch on which the paralytic lay.

5 When Jeshu saw their faith, he said to the paralytic himself, My son, forgiven to thee are thy sins.

6 But some of the Sophree and Pharishee were there, who sat and reasoned in their heart,

7 Who is this uttering blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but One, Aloha?

8 But Jeshu knew in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, and said to them, Why reason you these things in your heart?

9 Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, Forgiven are thy sins, or to say, Arise, lift up thy couch, and walk?

10 But, that you may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, he said to the paralytic,

11 To thee I say, Arise, take up thy couch, and go to thy house.

12 And he arose at once, and took up his couch, and went forth before them all; so that all wondered, and glorified Aloha, saying, Never saw we thus.
