18 And some brought on a couch a certain man a paralytic; and they sought to enter, that they might set him before him.

19 And when they found not how to bring him in because of the multitude of people, they ascended to the house-top, and sent him with his couch from the roof into the midst before Jeshu.

20 And when Jeshu saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, Man, forgiven to thee are thy sins.

21 And the Sophree and Pharishee began to reason and to say, Who is this who speaketh blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but Aloha only?

22 But Jeshu knew their reasoning, and said to them, What reason you in your hearts?

23 Which is easier, to say, Forgiven to thee are thy sins; or to say, Arise, walk?

24 But that you may know that authority hath the Son of man in the earth to forgive sins,-he saith to the paralytic,-To thee I say, Arise, take up thy couch, and go to thine house.

25 And immediately he arose before them, and took up his couch, and went to his house, glorifying Aloha.
