Now when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins are forgiven thee.

And there were certain of the Scribes sitting there, and [a]reasoning in their hearts,

Why doth this man speak such blasphemies? (A)who can forgive sins, but God only?

And immediately, when Jesus perceived in his spirit, that thus they reasoned with themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?

Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins are forgiven thee? or to say, Arise, take up thy bed, and walk?

10 But that ye may know, that the Son of man hath authority in earth to forgive sins, he said unto the sick of the palsy,

11 I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and get thee hence into thine own house.

12 And by and by he arose, and took up his bed, and went forth before them all, insomuch that they were all [b]amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw such a thing.
