Matthew 9:2-9

21And they broughtG4374 to Him a 2paralyzedG3885 manG3885 lyingG906 on a stretcherG2825. And seeingG3708 their faithG4102, JesusG2424 saidG3004 to the manG3885 who was paralyzedG3885, “3TakeG2293 courageG2293, 4sonG5043; 5your sinsG266 are forgivenG863.” 3And someG5100 of the scribesG1122 saidG3004 6to themselvesG1438, “ThisG3778 manG3778 is 7blasphemingG987!” 4And JesusG2424, 8perceivingG3708 their thoughtsG1761, saidG3004, “WhyG2444 are you thinkingG1760 evilG4190 in your heartsG2588? 5For whichG5101 is easierG2123, to sayG3004, ‘9Your sinsG266 are forgivenG863,’ orG2228 to sayG3004, ‘GetG1453 upG1453 and walkG4043’? 6But soG2443 thatG2443 you may knowG3609 that 10the SonG5207 of ManG444 hasG2192 authorityG1849 on earthG1093 to forgiveG863 sinsG266”--thenG5119 He saidG3004 to the 11paralyzedG3885 manG3885, “GetG1453 upG1453, pickG142 upG142 your stretcherG2825 and goG5217 homeG3624.” 7And he gotG1453 upG1453 and 12wentG565 homeG3624. 8But when the crowdsG3793 sawG3708 this, they wereG5399 13awestruckG5399, and they 14glorifiedG1392 GodG2316, who had givenG1325 suchG5108 authorityG1849 to menG444.

915As JesusG2424 wentG3855 on fromG1564 thereG1564, He sawG3708 a manG444 calledG3004 16MatthewG3102 sittingG2521 in the taxG5058 collector’sG5058 officeG5058; and He saidG3004 to him, “17FollowG190 Me!” And he gotG450 upG450 and followedG190 Him.
