Context of Luke 5:20
18And lo, men bringing upon a couch a man who was paralysed; and they sought to bring him in, and put [him] before him. 19And not finding what way to bring him in, on account of the crowd, going up on the housetop they let him down through the tiles, with his little couch, into the midst before Jesus. And seeing their faith, he said, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee. 21And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason [in their minds], saying, Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who is able to forgive sins but God alone? 22But Jesus, knowing their reasonings, answering said to them, Why reason ye in your hearts?
