Luke 5:17-26
Jesus Heals a Paralytic

17 And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, which were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judaea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was [present] to heal them.

17:

18 And, behold, men brought in a bed a man which was taken with a palsy: and they sought [means] to bring him in, and to lay [him] before him.

18:

19 And when they could not find by what [way] they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went upon the housetop, and let him down through the tiling with [his] couch into the midst before Jesus.

19:

20 And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.

20:

21 And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?

21:

22 But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What reason ye in your hearts?

22:

23 Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk?

23:

24 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine house.

24:

25 And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.

25:

26 And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to day.

26:
