2 Just then some men brought to Him a paralytic lying on a mat. Seeing their faith, Jesus told the paralytic, “Have courage, son, your sins are forgiven.” 3 At this, some of the scribes said among themselves, “He’s blaspheming!” 4 But perceiving their thoughts, Jesus said, “Why are you thinking evil things in your hearts? 5 For which is easier: to say, Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, Get up and walk? 6 But so you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins|—then He told the paralytic, “Get up, pick up your mat, and go home.” 7 And he got up and went home.
