Luke 5:17-26 ESV
“On one of those days, as he was teaching, Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there, who had
come from every village in Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was with him to
heal. 18 And behold, some men were brining on a bed a man who was paralyzed, and they were seeking to
bring him in and lay him before Jesus, 19 but finding no way to bring him in, because of the crowd, they went
up on the roof and let him down with his bed through the tiles into the midst before Jesus. 20 And when he
aw their faith, he said, ‘Man, your sins are forgiven you.’ 21 And the scribes and the Pharisees began to
question, saying, ‘Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?’ 22 When Jesus
perceived their thoughts, he answered them, ‘Why do you question in your heats? 23 Which is easier, to say,
‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Rise and walk’? 24 But that you may know that the Son of Man has
authority on earth to forgiven sins’—he said to the man who was paralyzed—‘I say to you, rise pick up your
bed and go home.’ 25 And immediately he rose up before them and picked up what he had been lying on and
went home, glorifying God. 26 And amazement seized them all, and they glorified God and were filled with
awe, saying, ‘We have seen extraordinary things today.’”
