RYLT(i)
3 And they come unto him, bringing a paralytic, borne by four,
4 and not being able to come near to him because of the multitude, they uncovered the roof where he was, and, having broken it up, they let down the couch on which the paralytic was lying,
5 and Jesus having seen their faith, said to the paralytic, 'Child, your sins have been forgiven you.'
6 And there were certain of the scribes there sitting, and reasoning in their hearts,
7 'Why does this one thus speak evil words? who is able to forgive sins except one -- God?'
8 And immediately Jesus, having known in his spirit that they thus reason in themselves, said to them, 'Why these things reason you in your hearts?
9 Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, The sins have been forgiven to you? or to say, Rise, and take up your couch, and walk?
10 'And, that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on the earth to forgive sins -- (he said to the paralytic) --
11 I say to you, Rise, and take up your couch, and go away to your house;'
12 and he rose immediately, and having taken up the couch, he went forth before all, so that all were astonished, and do glorify God, saying -- 'Never thus did we see.'
