2 And, behold, they brought to him a man sick, a paralytic, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the paralytic; Son, be of good cheer; your sins be forgiven you.

3 And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemes.

4 And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Why think you evil in your hearts?

5 For which is easier, to say, Your sins be forgiven you; or to say, Arise, and walk?

6 But that you may know that the Son of manhas power on earth to forgive sins, (then said he to the paralytic) Arise, take up your bed, and go unto your house.

7 And he arose, and departed to his house.
