Luke 5:18-26 for instance, they brought a man in his bed lying sick of the palsy: and try'd to. bring him directly into his presence.

Mace⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁸ for instance, they brought a man in his bed lying sick of the palsy: and try'd to. bring him directly into his presence. ¹⁹ but when they found it impracticable to bring him in through the crowd, they went up the gallery to the leads, and let him down through the ceiling in his bed among the company, where Jesus was, ²⁰ who perceiving their faith, said to him, O! man, your sins are forgiven you. ²¹ upon which the Scribes and Pharisees objected among themselves, saying, what a man is this to blaspheme thus? who can forgive sins but God alone? ²² but Jesus perceiving their reflexions, said to them, what do you mean by such insinuations? ²³ which is easier, to say, your sins are forgiven you, or to say, rise up, and walk? ²⁴ but that ye may know, that the son of man hath power to forgive sins, rise, said he, to the paralytick, 'tis I command you, take up your bed, and go home. ²⁵ immediately he started up before them all, took up the bed, where he lay, and went home, glorifying God. ²⁶ at this they were all seized with astonishment, and gave thanks to God, crying out with great reverence, what a wonderful instance of power have we seen this day!
