At that time, as Jesus was teaching, there were Pharisees and
teachers of the law sitting by, who had come from every village of Galilee
and Judea and from Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was with him
to heal. And behold, men were bringing on a bed a man who was
paralyzed, and they sought to bring him in and lay him before Jesus; but
finding no way to bring him in, because of the crowd, they went up on the
roof and let him down with his bed through the tiles into the midst
before Jesus. And when he saw their faith he said, "Man, your sins are
forgiven you." And the scribes and the Pharisees began to question,
saying, "Who is this that speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but
God only?" When Jesus perceived their questionings, he answered them,
"Why do you question in your hearts? Which is easier, to say, 'Your
sins are forgiven you,' or to say, 'Rise and walk'? But that you may
know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins" -- he
said to the man who was paralyzed -- "I say to you, rise, take up your
bed and go home." And immediately he rose before them, and took up
that on which he lay, and went home, glorifying God. And amazement
seized them all, and they glorified God and were filled with awe,
saying, "We have seen strange things today."
