Jesus Heals a Paralytic

9 After getting into [fn]the boat, Jesus went back across the sea and came to his own city. 2 And behold, some men brought to him a paralytic lying on a bed. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Take courage, son; yoʋr sins are forgiven [fn]yoʋ.” 3 And behold, some of the scribes said to themselves, “This man is blaspheming.” 4 [fn]Perceiving their thoughts, Jesus said, “Why are you thinking evil things in your hearts? 5 Which is easier, to say, ‘Yoʋr sins are [fn]forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Rise 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—“Rise, pick up yoʋr bed, and go to yoʋr house.” 7 So he rose and went to his house. 8 When the crowds saw it, they were [fn]amazed and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.
