18 And [2532], behold [2400], men [435] brought [5342] in [1909] a bed [2825] a man [444] which [3739] was [2258] taken with a palsy [3886]: and [2532] they sought [2212] means to bring [1533] him [846] in [1533], and [2532] to lay [5087] him before [1799] him [846].
19 And [2532] when they could [2147] not [3361] find [2147] by [1223] what [4169] way they might bring [1533] him [846] in [1533] because [1223] of the multitude [3793], they went [305] upon [1909] the housetop [1430], and let [2524] him [846] down [2524] through [1223] the tiling [2766] with [4862] his couch [2826] into [1519] the midst [3319] before [1715] Jesus [2424].
20 And [2532] when he saw [1492] their [846] faith [4102], he said [2036] unto him [846], Man [444], thy [4675] sins [266] are forgiven [863] thee [4671].
21 And [2532] the scribes [1122] and [2532] the Pharisees [5330] began [756] to reason [1260], saying [3004], Who [5101] is [2076] this [3778] which [3739] speaketh [2980] blasphemies [988]? Who [5101] can [1410] forgive [863] sins [266], but [1508] God [2316] alone [3441]?
22 But [1161] when Jesus [2424] perceived [1921] their [846] thoughts [1261], he answering [611] said [2036] unto [4314] them [846], What [5101] reason ye [1260] in [1722] your [5216] hearts [2588]?
23 Whether [5101] is [2076] easier [2123], to say [2036], Thy [4675] sins [266] be forgiven [863] thee [4671]; or [2228] to say [2036], Rise up [1453] and [2532] walk [4043]?
24 But [1161] that [2443] ye may know [1492] that [3754] the Son [5207] of man [444] hath [2192] power [1849] upon [1909] earth [1093] to forgive [863] sins [266], (he said [2036] unto the sick of the palsy [3886] I say [3004] unto thee [4671], Arise [1453], and [2532] take up [142] thy [4675] couch [2826], and go [4198] into [1519] thine [4675] house [3624].
25 And [2532] immediately [3916] he rose up [450] before [1799] them [846], and took up [142] that whereon [1909] [3739] he lay [2621], and departed [565] to [1519] his own [846] house [3624], glorifying [1392] God [2316].
26 And [2532] they were [2983] all [537] amazed [1611], and [2532] they glorified [1392] God [2316], and [2532] were filled [4130] with fear [5401], saying [3004], [3754] We have seen [1492] strange things [3861] to day [4594].
3 And [2532] they come [2064] unto [4314] him [846], bringing [5342] one sick of the palsy [3885], which was borne [142] of [5259] four [5064].
4 And [2532] when they could [1410] not [3361] come nigh [4331] unto him [846] for [1223] the press [3793], they uncovered [648] the roof [4721] where [3699] he was [2258]: and [2532] when they had broken it up [1846], they let down [5465] the bed [2895] wherein [1909] [3739] the sick of the palsy [3885] lay [2621].
5 When [1161] Jesus [2424] saw [1492] their [846] faith [4102], he said [3004] unto the sick of the palsy [3885], Son [5043], thy [4675] sins [266] be forgiven [863] thee [4671].
6 But [1161] there were [2258] certain [5100] of the scribes [1122] sitting [2521] there [1563], and [2532] reasoning [1260] in [1722] their [846] hearts [2588],
7 Why [5101] doth [2980] this [3778] man thus [3779] speak [2980] blasphemies [988]? who [5101] can [1410] forgive [863] sins [266] but [1508] God [2316] only [1520]?
8 And [2532] immediately [2112] when Jesus [2424] perceived [1921] in his [846] spirit [4151] that [3754] they so [3779] reasoned [1260] within [1722] themselves [1438], he said [2036] unto them [846], Why [5101] reason ye [1260] these things [5023] in [1722] your [5216] hearts [2588]?
9 Whether [5101] is it [2076] easier [2123] to say [2036] to the sick of the palsy [3885], Thy sins [266] be forgiven [863] thee [4671]; or [2228] to say [2036], Arise [1453], and [2532] take up [142] thy [4675] bed [2895], and [2532] walk [4043]?
10 But [1161] that [2443] ye may know [1492] that [3754] the Son [5207] of man [444] hath [2192] power [1849] on [1909] earth [1093] to forgive [863] sins [266], (he saith [3004] to the sick of the palsy [3885],)
11 I say [3004] unto thee [4671], Arise [1453], and [2532] take up [142] thy [4675] bed [2895], and [2532] go thy way [5217] into [1519] thine [4675] house [3624].
12 And [2532] immediately [2112] he arose [1453], took up [142] the bed [2895], and [2532] went forth [1831] before [1726] them all [3956]; insomuch that [5620] they were [1839] all [3956] amazed [1839], and [2532] glorified [1392] God [2316], saying [3004], [3754] We [1492] never [3763] saw [1492] it on this fashion [3779].
13 And [2532] leaving [2641] Nazareth [3478], he came [2064] and dwelt [2730] in [1519] Capernaum [2584], which [3588] is upon the sea coast [3864], in [1722] the borders [3725] of Zabulon [2194] and [2532] Nephthalim [3508]:
1 And [2532] again [3825] he entered [1525] into [1519] Capernaum [2584] after [1223] some days [2250]; and [2532] it was noised [191] that [3754] he was [2076] in [1519] the house [3624].
34 And [2532], behold [2400], the whole [3956] city [4172] came out [1831] to [1519] meet [4877] Jesus [2424]: and [2532] when they saw [1492] him [846], they besought [3870] him that [3704] he would depart [3327] out of [575] their [846] coasts [3725].
37 Then [2532] the whole [537] multitude [4128] of the country [4066] of the Gadarenes [1046] round about [4066] besought [2065] him [846] to depart [565] from [575] them [846]; for [3754] they were taken [4912] with great [3173] fear [5401]: and [1161] he [846] went up [1684] into [1519] the ship [4143], and returned back again [5290].
18 And [2532] when he [846] was come [1684] into [1519] the ship [4143], he that had been possessed with the devil [1139] prayed [3870] him [846] that [2443] he might be [5600] with [3326] him [846].
13 And [2532] leaving [2641] Nazareth [3478], he came [2064] and dwelt [2730] in [1519] Capernaum [2584], which [3588] is upon the sea coast [3864], in [1722] the borders [3725] of Zabulon [2194] and [2532] Nephthalim [3508]:
14 And [2532] when Jesus [2424] was come [2064] into [1519] Peter's [4074] house [3614], he saw [1492] his [846] wife's mother [3994] laid [906], and [2532] sick of a fever [4445].
13 And [2532] leaving [2641] Nazareth [3478], he came [2064] and dwelt [2730] in [1519] Capernaum [2584], which [3588] is upon the sea coast [3864], in [1722] the borders [3725] of Zabulon [2194] and [2532] Nephthalim [3508]:
