  • Luke 5:18-26 : 18 Some men came, carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They tried to bring him in and set him before Jesus. 19 When they could not find a way to bring him in because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and lowered the man on his mat through the tiles into the middle of the crowd, right in front of Jesus. 20 Seeing their faith, Jesus said, "Friend, your sins are forgiven." 21 But the scribes and Pharisees began to think to themselves, "Who is this man who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?" 22 Knowing their thoughts, Jesus replied to them, "Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?" 23 Which is easier: to say, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Get up and walk'? 24 But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins," He said to the paralyzed man, "I tell you, get up, take your mat, and go home." 25 Immediately he got up in front of them, took what he had been lying on, and went home, glorifying God. 26 Everyone was amazed and gave glory to God. They were filled with awe and said, "We have seen remarkable things today."
