Jesus forgives and heals a man who could not walk

1 Jesus stepped into a boat. He went over to the other side of the lake and came to his own town. 2 Some men brought to him a man who could not walk. He was lying on a mat. Jesus saw that they had faith. So he said to the man, ‘Don’t lose hope, son. Your sins are forgiven.’ 3 Then some teachers of the law said to themselves, ‘This fellow is saying a very evil thing!’ 4 Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he said, ‘Why do you have evil thoughts in your hearts? 5 Is it easier to say, “Your sins are forgiven”? Or to say, “Get up and walk”? 6 But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.’ So he spoke to the man who could not walk. ‘Get up’, he said. ‘Take your mat and go home.’ 7 The man got up and went home. 8 When the crowd saw this, they were filled with wonder. They praised God for giving that kind of authority to a human being.

1 A few days later, Jesus entered Capernaum again. The people heard that he had come home. 2 So many people gathered that there was no room left. There was not even room outside the door. And Jesus preached the word to them. 3 Four of those who came were carrying a man who could not walk. 4 But they could not get him close to Jesus because of the crowd. So they made a hole by digging through the roof above Jesus. Then they lowered the man through it on a mat. 5 Jesus saw their faith. So he said to the man, ‘Son, your sins are forgiven.’ 6 Some teachers of the law were sitting there. They were thinking, 7 ‘Why is this fellow talking like that? He’s saying a very evil thing! Only God can forgive sins!’ 8 Right away Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he said to them, ‘Why are you thinking these things? 9 Is it easier to say to this man, “Your sins are forgiven”? Or to say, “Get up, take your mat and walk”? 10 But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.’ So Jesus spoke to the man who could not walk. 11 ‘I tell you,’ he said, ‘get up. Take your mat and go home.’ 12 The man got up and took his mat. Then he walked away while everyone watched. All the people were amazed. They praised God and said, ‘We have never seen anything like this!’

Jesus forgives and heals a man who could not walk

17 One day Jesus was teaching. Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there. They had come from every village of Galilee and from Judea and Jerusalem. They heard that the Lord had given Jesus the power to heal those who were ill. 18 So some men came carrying a man who could not walk. He was lying on a mat. They tried to take him into the house to place him in front of Jesus. 19 They could not find a way to do this because of the crowd. So they went up on the roof. Then they lowered the man on his mat through the opening in the roof tiles. They lowered him into the middle of the crowd, right in front of Jesus. 20 When Jesus saw that they had faith, he spoke to the man. He said, ‘Friend, your sins are forgiven.’ 21 The Pharisees and the teachers of the law began to think, ‘Who is this fellow who says such an evil thing? Who can forgive sins but God alone?’ 22 Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he asked, ‘Why are you thinking these things in your hearts? 23 Is it easier to say, “Your sins are forgiven”? Or to say, “Get up and walk”? 24 But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.’ So he spoke to the man who could not walk. ‘I tell you,’ he said, ‘get up. Take your mat and go home.’ 25 Right away, the man stood up in front of them. He took his mat and went home praising God. 26 Everyone was amazed and gave praise to God. They were filled with wonder. They said, ‘We have seen unusual things today.’
