CLV(i)
18 And lo! men carrying on a couch a man who was paralyzed, and they sought to be carrying him in and to place him before Him."
19 And not finding by which means they may be carrying him in because of the throng, going up on the housetop, they let him down, with the cot, through the tiles into the midst in front or Jesus."
20 And, perceiving their faith, He said to him, "Man, pardoned you are your sins."
21 And the scribes and the Pharisees begin to reason, saying, "Who is this who is speaking blasphemies? Who is able to pardon sins except God only?
22 Now Jesus, recognizing their reasonings, answering, said to them, "What are you reasoning in your hearts?
23 What is easier, to be saying, 'Pardoned are you your sins,' or to be saying, 'Rouse and walk'?
24 Now, that you may be perceiving that the Son of Mankind has authority on earth to pardon sins (He said to the paralyzed), to you am I saying, Rouse and pick up your cot and go into your house."
25 And instantly, rising before them, picking up that on which he was laid, he came away into his house, glorifying God."
26 And amazement took hold of all, and they glorified God, and are filled with fear, saying that "We perceived baffling things today!"
