18 And behold, men carrying a man on a couch, who was paralyzed; and were seeking to bring him in, and place him before Him.
19 And not having found by what way they may bring him in on account of the crowd, going upon the house, they let him down through the tiles along with the bed in their midst in the presence of Jesus.
20 And seeing their faith, He said to him; Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.
21 And the scribes and Pharisees began to reason, Who is this one who speaketh blasphemies? Who is able to forgive sins, except God only?
22 And having responded He said to them, Why do you reason in your hearts?
23 Which is the easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven unto thee; or, to say. Arise and walk about?
24 But in order that you may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, (He said to the paralyzed), I say unto thee, Arise, and having taken thy bed, go into thy house.
25 And immediately having arisen before them, taking the bed on which he was lying down, he went away to his own house, glorifying God.
26 And rapture seized them all, and they continued to glorify God; and they were filled with fear, saying, that, We have seen the paradoxical this day.
