Matthew 9:2-8

2And behold, they brought to him a paralytic, laid upon a bed; and Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, Be of good courage, child; thy sins are forgiven.

3And behold, certain of the scribes said to themselves, This [man] blasphemes.

4And Jesus, seeing their thoughts, said, Why do ye think evil things in your hearts?

5For which is easier: to say, Thy sins are forgiven; or to say, Rise up and walk?

6But that ye may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, (then he says to the paralytic,) Rise up, take up thy bed and go to thy house.

7And he rose up and went to his house.

8But the crowds seeing [it], were in fear, and glorified 1God who gave such power to men.
