Jesus Forgives and Heals a Paralytic
Matthew 9:1-8
1
Then hee entred into a shippe, and passed ouer, and came into his owne citie.
2
And loe, they brought to him a man sicke of the palsie, laid on a bed. And Iesus seeing their faith, saide to the sicke of the palsie, Sonne, be of good comfort: thy sinnes are forgiuen thee.
3
And beholde, certaine of the Scribes saide with themselues, This man blasphemeth.
4
But when Iesus saw their thoughts, he said, Wherefore thinke yee euil things in your hearts?
5
For whether is it easier to say, Thy sinnes are forgiuen thee, or to say, Arise, and walke?
6
And that ye may knowe that the Sonne of man hath authoritie in earth to forgiue sinnes, (then saide he vnto the sicke of the palsie,) Arise, take vp thy bed, and goe to thine house.
7
And hee arose, and departed to his owne house.
8
So when the multitude sawe it, they marueiled, and glorified God, which had giuen such authoritie to men.
