His Life by William E. Barton

THE HEALING OF A PARALYTIC.

And when he entered again into Capernaum after some days, it was noised that he was in the house. And many were gathered together, so that there was no longer room for them, no, not even about the door; and he spake the word unto them.

And they come, bringing unto him a man sick of the palsy, borne of four. And when they could not come nigh unto him for the crowd, they went up to the housetop, and uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed whereon the sick of the palsy lay.

And Jesus seeing their faith saith unto the sick of the palsy, |Son, thy sins are forgiven.|

But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, |Why doth this man thus speak? he blasphemeth: who can forgive sins but one, even God?|

And straightway Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, saith unto them, |Why reason ye these things in your hearts? Which is easier, to say to the sick of the palsy, 'Thy sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?' But that ye may know that the Son of man hath authority on earth to forgive sins (he saith to the sick of the palsy), 'I say unto thee, Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thy house.'|

And he arose, and straightway took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and were filled with fear, and glorified God, saying, |We never saw it on this fashion: we have seen strange things to-day.|
