Luke 5:17–26

¹⁷And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and ^pdoctors 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. ^18qAnd, 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 upon ^rthe housetop, and let him down through the tiling with his couch into the midst before Jesus. ²⁰And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee. ²¹And the scribes and the Pharisees began ^rrto reason, saying, Who is this which speaketh blasphemies? ^sWho can forgive sins, but God alone? ²²But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What ^rrreason ye in your hearts? ²³Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk? ²⁴But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine house. ²⁵And immediately he rose up before them, and took up ^tthat whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, ^uglorifying God. ²⁶And they were all amazed, and they ^uglorified God, and ^wwere filled with fear, saying, We have seen ^xstrange things to day.
