Matthew 9:2-6

New American Standard Bible 1995

^2 (A)And they brought to Him a ^(B)paralytic lying on a bed. Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralytic, “^(C)Take courage, ^[a]son; ^(D)your sins are forgiven.” ³ And some of the scribes said ^[b]to themselves, “This fellow ^(E)blasphemes.” ⁴ And Jesus ^(F)knowing their thoughts said, “Why are you thinking evil in your hearts? ⁵ 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)paralytic, “Get up, pick up your bed and go home.”
