18 And, behold, men bringing upon a bed a man who was affected with paralysis; and they sought to bring him, and set before him. 19 And not finding how they might bring him in, for the crowd, having ascended upon the house, they put him down through the tiles, with the small couch, in the midst before Jesus. 20 And having seen their faith, he said to him, Man, thy sins are remitted to thee. 21 And the scribes and Pharisees began to reason with themselves, saying, Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can remit sins but God alone? 22 And Jesus having known their reflections, having answered, said to them, What do ye reason with yourselves in your hearts? 23 Which is easier, to say, Thy sins are remitted to thee; or to say, Arise and walk? 24 And that ye might know that the Son of man has power upon earth to remit sins, (he said to him affected with paralysis,) I say to thee, Arise, and having taken up thy conch, go into thy house. 25 And immediately having risen before them, having taken up on what he lay, he went away to his house, honouring God.
