3 And they came to him and brought to him a paralytic, borne between four persons.
4 And as they could not come near him on account of the crowd, they ascended to the roof, and removed the covering of the place where Jesus was, and let down the bed on which the paralytic lay.
5 And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic: My son, thy sins are forgiven thee.
6 And there were some Scribes and Pharisees there, who sat and reasoned in their hearts:
7 Who is this speaking, blasphemy? Who can forgive sins, except God only?
8 And Jesus knew, in his spirit, that they thus reasoned in themselves; and he said to them: Why reason ye thus in your heart?
9 Which is the easier, to say to a paralytic, Thy sins are forgiven thee? or to say, Arise, take up thy bed, and walk?
10 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, he said to the paralytic,
11 I say to thee, Arise, take thy bed, and go to thy house.
12 And he arose in that hour, took up his bed, and departed in presence of them all: so that they were all amazed, and praised God, saying: We never saw the like.
