Luke 5:17-25

171OneG1520 dayG2250 He was teachingG1321, and 2there were some PhariseesG5330 and 3teachersG3547 ofG3547 theG3547 LawG3547 sittingG2521 there whoG3739 had 4comeG2064 from everyG3956 villageG2968 of GalileeG1056 and JudeaG2449, and from JerusalemG2419; and 5the powerG1411 of the LordG2962 was present for Him to performG2390 healingG2390.

186And some menG435 were carryingG5342 a manG444 on a stretcherG2825 whoG3739 was paralyzedG3886; and they were tryingG2212 to bringG1533 him inG1533 and to setG5087 him downG5087 in frontG1799 of Him.

19But when they did not findG2147 anyG4169 way to bringG1533 him inG1533 becauseG1223 of the crowdG3793, they wentG305 upG305 on 7the roofG1430 and letG2524 him downG2524 8throughG1223 the tilesG2766 with his stretcherG2826, into the middleG3319 of the crowd, inG1715 frontG1715 of JesusG2424.

20And seeingG3708 their faithG4102, He saidG3004, “9FriendG444, 10your sinsG266 are forgivenG863 you.”

21The scribesG1122 and the PhariseesG5330 11beganG757 thinkingG1260 ofG1260 theG1260 implicationsG1260, sayingG3004, “12WhoG5101 is thisG3778 man whoG3739 speaksG2980 blasphemiesG988? 13WhoG5101 canG1410 forgiveG863 sinsG266, exceptG1487G3361 GodG2316 aloneG3441?”

22But JesusG2424, 14awareG1921 of their thoughtsG1261, respondedG611 and saidG3004 to them, “WhyG5101 are you thinkingG1260 thisG1260 wayG1260 in your heartsG2588?

23WhichG5101 is easierG2123, to sayG3004: ‘Your sinsG266 are forgivenG863 you,’ orG2228 to sayG3004, ‘GetG1453 upG1453 and walkG4043’?

24But soG2443 thatG2443 you may knowG3609 that the SonG5207 of ManG444 hasG2192 authorityG1849 on earthG1093 to forgiveG863 sinsG266,” He saidG3004 to the 15manG3886 who was paralyzedG3886, “I sayG3004 to you, getG1453 upG1453, and pickG142 upG142 your stretcherG2826, and goG4198 homeG3624.”

25And immediatelyG3916 he gotG450 upG450 beforeG1799 them, and pickedG142 upG142 whatG3739 he had been lyingG2621 on, and wentG565 homeG3624 16glorifyingG1392 GodG2316.
