2 A man on a bed, a paralytic, was brought to Jesus. Seeing their faith Jesus said to the sick man: »Have courage; your sins are forgiven.«
3 Some of the scribes said among themselves: »This man has no respect for God.«
4 Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said: »Why are your thoughts evil?
5 »Which is easier, to say, your sins are forgiven, or to say, get up and walk?«
6 So that you know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins he turned and spoke to the paralytic or paralyzed man: »Get up, take your bed and go to your house.«
7 He arose, and departed to his house.
