Matthew 9:2-8
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.” 7 And he got up and [c]went home. 8 But when the crowds saw this, they were [d]awestruck, and (J)glorified God, who had given such authority to men.
