Luke 5:17-26

171One day He was teaching, and 2there were some Pharisees and 3teachers of the Law sitting there who had 4come from every village of Galilee and Judea, and from Jerusalem; and 5the power of the Lord was present for Him to perform healing. 186And some men were carrying a man on a stretcher who was paralyzed; and they were trying to bring him in and to set him down in front of Him. 19But when they did not find any way to bring him in because of the crowd, they went up on 7the roof and let him down 8through the tiles with his stretcher, into the middle of the crowd, in front of Jesus. 20And seeing their faith, He said, “9Friend, 10your sins are forgiven you.” 21The scribes and the Pharisees 11began thinking of the implications, saying, “12Who is this man who speaks blasphemies? 13Who can forgive sins, except God alone?” 22But Jesus, 14aware of their thoughts, responded and said to them, “Why are you thinking this way in your hearts? 23Which is easier, to say: ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’? 24But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins,” He said to the 15man who was paralyzed, “I say to you, get up, and pick up your stretcher, and go home.” 25And immediately he got up before them, and picked up what he had been lying on, and went home 16glorifying God. 26And 17they were all struck with astonishment and began 18glorifying God. They were also filled 19with fear, saying, “We have seen remarkable things today!”
