Matthew 9:1-8

Revised Geneva Translation

9 Then He entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into His own city.

² And lo, they brought to Him a paralytic, laid on a bed. And Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, “Son, be of good courage. Your sins are forgiven you.”

³ And behold, certain of the Scribes said among themselves, “This man blasphemes.”

⁴ And Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, “Why do you think evil things in your hearts?

⁵ “For, which is easier to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you’ or ‘Arise, and walk’?

⁶ “But, so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins (then He said to the paralytic) Arise! Take up your bed and go to your house!”

⁷ And he arose and departed to his own house.

⁸ So when the multitude saw it, they marveled, and glorified God, Who had given such authority to men.
