A Paralytic Healed

9 And Jesus, getting into a boat, crossed over the Sea of Galilee and came to [Capernaum] His own city.

² They brought to Him a man who was paralyzed, lying on a stretcher. Seeing their [active] faith [springing from confidence in Him], Jesus said to the paralytic, “Do not be afraid, son; your sins are forgiven [the penalty is paid, the guilt removed, and you are declared to be in right standing with God].”^(A)
