New Testament
Matthew 9:1-8
Jesus Forgives Sins
91Jesus got into a boat, crossed over, and came to his own town. 2There people brought to him a man who was paralyzed, lying on a stretcher. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, “Take heart, son! Your sins are forgiven.”
3Then some of the experts in the law said among themselves, “This fellow is blaspheming!”
4Since Jesus knew their thoughts, he said, “Why are you thinking evil in your hearts? 5Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’? 6But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins,” he then said to the paralyzed man, “Get up, take your stretcher, and go home.”
7The man got up and went home. 8When the crowd saw this, they were filled with awe and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.
