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.
