Luke 5:17–26

17And it came to pass on a cer­tain day, as he was teach­ing, that there were Phar­isees and doc­tors of the law sit­ting by, which were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judaea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present to heal them. 18And, behold, men brought in a bed a man which was taken with a palsy: and they sought means to bring him in, and to lay him before him. 19And when they could not find by what way they might bring him in because of the mul­ti­tude, they went on the house­top, and let him down through the tiling with his couch into the mid­dle before Jesus. 20And when he saw their faith, he said to him, Man, your sins are for­given you. 21And the scribes and the Phar­isees began to rea­son, say­ing, Who is this which speaks blas­phemies? Who can for­give sins, but God alone? 22But when Jesus per­ceived their thoughts, he answer­ing said to them, What rea­son you in your hearts? 23Whether is eas­ier, to say, Your sins be for­given you; or to say, Rise up and walk? 24But that you may know that the Son of man has power on earth to for­give sins, (he said to the sick of the palsy,) I say to you, Arise, and take up your couch, and go into your house. 25And imme­di­ately he rose up before them, and took up that where on he lay, and departed to his own house, glo­ri­fy­ing God. 26And they were all amazed, and they glo­ri­fied God, and were filled with fear, say­ing, We have seen strange things to day.
