18 And some men brought a paralytic on a quilt-bed; and they wanted to go in and lay him before him. 19 And when they found they were not able to carry him in, because of many people, they went up on the roof, and they lowered him down on his quilt-bed from the ceiling into the midst before Jesus. 20 When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, Man, your sins are forgiven. 21 And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason saying, Who is this man who talks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins, except God only? 22 But Jesus knew their thoughts, and he answered and said to them, What do you reason in your heart? 23 Which is easier to say, Your sins are forgiven, or just to say, Arise and walk? 24 But that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins, he said to the paralytic, I tell you, Arise, take up your quilt-bed and go to your home. 25 And immediately he rose up before their eyes, and took his quilt-bed and went to his house, praising God.
