JESUS CURES A MAN WHO CANNOT WALK

When Jesus entered Capernaum again, after some days, it was reported that he was at home, and so many people gathered about him that there was no longer room for them, not even at the door. While Jesus was preaching to them, four men came, carrying a man who was paralyzed and could not move. As they could not get near to Jesus on account of the crowd, they tore up the roof over his head. When they had made a hole, they let down the bed on which the man who could not move was lying. Seeing their faith, Jesus said to him, |Son, your sins are forgiven.| But some of the scribes sitting there said to themselves, |Why should this man say such a thing? He is blaspheming! Who can forgive sins except God alone?|

Knowing at once what they were saying, Jesus said to them, |Why do you say these things to yourselves? Which is easier: to say to the man who cannot move, 'Your sins are forgiven'; or to say, 'Get up, take your bed, and walk'? But that you may know that the Son of Man has the power on earth to forgive sins| (he said to the man who could not walk) |I say to you, Rise, take up your bed, and go to your home.| Then the man rose and at once took up his bed and went out in the presence of them all, so that they were all filled with wonder and praised God, saying, |We have never seen anything like this.|
