² And behold— they were bringing to Him a paralytic having been put on a bed. And Jesus, having seen their faith, said to the paralytic, “Take-courage, child. Your sins are forgiven”. ³ And behold— some of the scribes said within themselves, “This One is blaspheming”. ⁴ And Jesus, having seen their thoughts, said “Why are you thinking evil things in your hearts? ⁵ For which is easier: to say ‘Your sins are forgiven’, or to say ‘Arise, and walk’? ⁶ But in order that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”— then He says to the paralytic, “Having arisen, pick up your bed and go to your house”. ⁷ And having arisen, he went to his house. ⁸ And having seen it, the crowds were awed^[a]. And they glorified God, the One having given such authority to humans^[b].
