Luke 5:18-26

18Just thenG2532G2400 some menG435 came carryingG5342 a paralyzedG3739G1510G3886 manG444 onG1909 a matG2825. They triedG2212 to bring him insideG1533G846 to setG5087 himG846 beforeG1799 Jesus, 19butG2532 they could not findG3361G2147 a wayG4169 throughG1223 theG3588 crowdG3793. So they went upG305 onG1909 theG3588 roofG1430 and loweredG2524 himG846 onG4862 his matG2826 throughG1223 theG3588 tilesG2766 intoG1519 theG3588 middleG3319 of the crowd, right in front ofG1715 JesusG2424.

20WhenG2532 Jesus sawG3708 theirG846 faithG4102, He saidG2036, “FriendG444, yourG4771 sinsG266 are forgivenG863G4771.”

21ButG2532 theG3588 scribesG1122 andG2532 PhariseesG5330 beganG756 thinking to themselvesG1260G3004, “WhoG5101 isG1510 thisG3778 man whoG3739 speaksG2980 blasphemyG988? WhoG5101 canG1410 forgiveG863 sinsG266 butG1487G3361 GodG2316 aloneG3441?”

KnowingG1921 what theyG846 were thinkingG1261, JesusG2424 repliedG611G2036G4314G846, “WhyG5101 are you thinkingG1260 these things inG1722 yourG4771 heartsG2588? 23WhichG5101 isG1510 easierG2123: to sayG2036, ‘YourG4771 sinsG266 are forgivenG863G4771,’ orG2228 to sayG2036, ‘Get upG1453 andG2532 walkG4043’? 24ButG1161 so thatG2443 you may knowG1492 thatG3754 theG3588 SonG5207 of ManG444 hasG2192 authorityG1849 onG1909 theG3588 earthG1093 to forgiveG863 sinsG266...” He saidG2036 to theG3588 paralyticG3886, “I tellG3004 youG4771, get upG1453, pick upG142 yourG4771 matG2826, and goG4198 homeG1519G4771G3588G3624.”

25AndG2532 immediatelyG3916 the man stood upG450 beforeG1799 themG846, tookG142 whatG3739 he had been lyingG2621 onG1909, and wentG565 homeG1519G846G3588G3624 glorifyingG1392 GodG2316. 26EveryoneG537 was taken withG2983 amazementG1611 andG2532 glorifiedG1392 GodG2316. They were filledG4130 with aweG5401 and saidG3004, “We have seenG3708 remarkable thingsG3861 todayG4594.”
