Matthew(i)
1 After a feawe dayes, he entred into Capernaum agayne, & it was noysed that he was in a house
2 And anone many gathered together, in so muche that now there was no rome to receyue them: no, not so much as about the dore. And he preached the worde vnto them.
3 And there came vnto hym that brought one sicke of the palsie, borne of foure men.
4 And because they coulde not come nye to hym for preace, they vncouered the rofe of the house, where he was. And when they had broken it open, they let doune the bed where in the sicke of the palsye laye.
5 When Iesus saw their fayth, he sayed to the sicke of the palsie, sonne thy synnes are forgeuen the.
6 And there were certayne of the scrybes, sittynge there and reasonynge in theyr hertes:
7 how doth thys felowe so blaspheme? Who can forgeue synnes, but God onelye?
8 And immediatly when Iesus perceyued in hys spirite, that they so reasoned in them selues, he said vnto them why thinke ye suche thynges in your hertes?
9 Whether is it easyer to saye to the sicke of the palsie, thy synnes are forgeuen the: or to saye: aryse, take vp thy bed, and walke?
10 That ye maye knowe that the sonne of man hath power in earth to forgeue synnes, he spake vnto the sicke of the palsye:
11 I saye vnto the, aryse and take vp thy bedde, and get the hence into thyne owne house.
12 And by and by he arose, toke vp the bedde, & wente forthe before them all: in so muche that they were all amased, and glorifyed God sayinge: we neuer saw it on thys fasshyon.
