Healing and Forgiving a Paralytic After getting into a boat he crossed to the other side and came to his own town.
Just then some people brought to him a paralytic lying on a stretcher. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic,“Have courage, son! Your sins are forgiven.”
Then some of the experts in the law said to themselves,“This man is blaspheming!”

But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”– then he said to the paralytic–“Stand up, take your stretcher, and go home.”
