3 And they come to him a paralytic bringing, being carried by four.4 And not being able to come nigh to him through the crowd, they uncovered the roof, where he was; and having dug through they let down the bed upon which the paralytic was laid.5 Seeing and the Jesus the faith of them, says to the paralytic: Son, are forgiven of thee the sins.6 Were but some of the scribes there sitting and reasoning in the hearts of them:7 Why this thus speaks blasphemy? Who is able to forgive sins, if not one the God?8 And immediately knowing the Jesus to the spirit of himself, that thus they reasoned among themselves, said to them: Why these (things) reason you in the hearts of you?9 Which is easier? to say to the paralytic: Are forgiven of thee the sins? or to say: Arise, take up of thee the bed, and walk?10 That but you may know, that authority has the son of the man on the earth to forgive sins; (he says to the paralytic:)11 To thee I say: Arise, take up the bed of thee, and go into the house of thee.12 And he was raised immediately, and taking up the bed, went out in presence of all; so as to astonish all, and to glorify the God, saying: That never thus we saw.
