Matthew 9:2-7
New American Standard Bible
2 (A)And they brought to Him a (B)paralyzed man lying on a stretcher. And seeing their faith, Jesus said to the man who was paralyzed, “(C)Take courage, [a]son; (D)your sins are forgiven.” 3 And some of the scribes said [b]to themselves, “This man is (E)blaspheming!” 4 And Jesus, (F)perceiving their thoughts, said, “Why are you thinking evil in your hearts? 5 For which is easier, to say, ‘(G)Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’? 6 But so that you may know that (H)the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—then He *said to the (I)paralyzed man, “Get up, pick up your stretcher and go home.” 7 And he got up and [c]went home.
