Godbey⁽ⁱ⁾ ² And behold, they were bringing to Him a paralyzed man, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said to the paralytic, Be of good cheer, child, thy sins are forgiven thee. ³ And behold, certain ones of the scribes said among themselves; This man blasphemeth. ⁴ And Jesus seeing their thoughts said, Why do you think evil in your hearts? ⁵ For whether is it easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or, Arise, and walk about? ⁶ But in order that you may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, (then He says to the paralytic), Having arisen, take thy bed, and depart into thy house. ⁷ And having arisen, he came away to his own house. ⁸ And the multitude seeing, were astonished, and glorified God, who giveth such power to men.
