² Some men brought to him a paralyzed man,^(A) lying on a mat. When Jesus saw their faith,^(B) he said to the man, “Take heart,^(C) son; your sins are forgiven.”^(D)

¹⁴ Later Jesus found him at the temple and said to him, “See, you are well again. Stop sinning^(A) or something worse may happen to you.”

¹⁵ And the prayer offered in faith^(A) will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven.
