Jesus Heals a Paralytic

Luke 5

¹⁷ On one of those days, as he was teaching, Pharisees and _o teachers of the law were sitting there, who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem. And _p the power of the Lord was with him to heal. ₁ ¹⁸ _q And behold, some men were bringing _r 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 _s the roof and let him down with his bed _t through the tiles into the midst before Jesus. ²⁰ And _u when he saw their faith, he said, "Man, _v your sins are forgiven you." ²¹ And the scribes and the Pharisees began to question, saying, "Who is this who speaks _w blasphemies? _x Who can forgive sins but God alone?" ²² When Jesus _y perceived their thoughts, he answered them, "Why do you question in your hearts? ²³ Which is easier, to say, 'Your sins are forgiven you,' or to say, 'Rise and walk'? ²⁴ But that you may know that _z the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive 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, _a glorifying God. ²⁶ And amazement seized them all, and they _a glorified God and were filled _a with awe, saying, "We have seen extraordinary things today."
