CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ² And lo! they brought to Him a paralytic, prostrate on a couch. And Jesus, perceiving their faith, said to the paralytic, "Courage, child! Pardoned are your sins!" ³ And lo! some of the scribes say among themselves, "This man is blaspheming!" ⁴ And Jesus, perceiving their sentiments, said, "Why are you brooding wickedness in your hearts? ⁵ For what is easier, to be saying, 'Pardoned are your sins,' or to be saying, 'Rouse and walk'? ⁶ Now, that you may be perceiving that the Son of Mankind has authority on earth to pardon sins"-then He is saying to the paralytic, "Being roused, pick up your couch and go into your house." ⁷ And, being roused, he came away into his house." ⁸ Now, on perceiving it, the throngs were afraid, and they glorify God, Who is giving such authority to men."
