Jesus Heals a Paralytic - Bible Story

Jesus Heals a Paralytic

(Matthew 9:1-8)

1And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into his own city.

2And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said to the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; your sins be forgiven you. 3And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemes. 4And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Why think you evil in your hearts? 5For whether is easier, to say, Your sins be forgiven you; or to say, Arise, and walk? 6But that you may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, (then said he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up your bed, and go to your house. 7And he arose, and departed to his house. 8But when the multitudes saw it, they marveled, and glorified God, which had given such power to men.
