Matthew 9:1-8
Jesus Heals a Paralytic
And getting into a boat, Jesus crossed over the sea and came to aHis own city.
2 aAnd behold, they brought to Him a bparalytic lying on a bed. Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralytic, “cTake courage, son; dyour sins are forgiven.” 3 And behold, some of the scribes said to themselves, “This man ablasphemes.” 4 And Jesus aknowing their thoughts said, “Why are you thinking evil in your hearts? 5 For which is easier, to say, ‘aYour sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’? 6 But so that you may know that athe Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—then He *said to the bparalytic, “Get up, pick up your bed and go home.” 7 And he got up and went home. 8 But when the crowds saw this, they were afraid, and aglorified God, who had given such authority to men.
