2 And behold, they brought to Him a paralytic, lying on a bed. And Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, Child, be of good cheer. Your sins are forgiven you.
3 And lo, some of the scribes said within themselves, This one blasphemes.
4 And Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, Why do you think evil in your hearts?
5 For which is easier? To say, [Your] sins are forgiven you, or to say, Arise and walk!
6 But so that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins, then He said to the paralytic, Arise, take up your bed and go to your house.
7 And he arose and departed to his house.
