Luke 5:12-26

Luke 5:12-26

[12] And  it came to pass,  when he  in  city,  behold  a man  full  of leprosy:  who  Jesus  fell  on  his face,  and besought  him,  saying,  Lord,  if  thou wilt,  thou canst  clean.  [13] And  he put forth  his hand,  and touched  him,  I will:  be thou clean.  And  immediately  the leprosy  departed  from  him.  [14] And  he  charged  him  to tell  no man:  but  go,  and shew  thyself  to the priest,  and  offer  for  cleansing,  according as  Moses  commanded,  for  a testimony  unto them.  [15] But  so much the more  a fame  abroad  of  him:  and  great  multitudes  came together  to hear,  and  to be healed  him  of  their  infirmities.  [16] And  himself  into  the wilderness,  and  prayed.  [17] And  it came to pass  on  day,  as  he  teaching,  that  Pharisees  and  doctors of the law  sitting by,  which  come  out of  every  town  of Galilee,  and  Judaea,  and  Jerusalem:  and  the power  of the Lord  present to  heal  them.  [18] And,  behold,  men  brought  in  a bed  a man  which  taken with a palsy:  and  they sought  him  in,  and  to lay  him before  him.  [19] And  not  find  by  what  him  in  because  of the multitude,  they went  upon  the housetop,  him  down  through  the tiling  with  his couch  into  the midst  before  Jesus.  [20] And  their  faith,  he said  unto him,  Man,  sins  are forgiven  [21] And  the scribes  and  the Pharisees  began  to reason,  saying,  Who  this  which  speaketh  blasphemies?  Who  can  forgive  sins,  God  alone?  [22] But  when Jesus  perceived  their  thoughts,  he answering  said  unto  them,  What  reason ye  in  hearts?  [23] Whether  easier,  to say,  sins  be forgiven  or  to say,  Rise up  and  walk?  [24] But  that  ye may know  that  the Son  of man  hath  power  upon  earth  to forgive  sins,  (he said  unto the sick of the palsy,)  I say  Arise,  and  take up  couch,  and go  into  house.  [25] And  immediately  he rose up  before  them,  and took up  that whereon  he lay,  and departed  to  his own  house,  glorifying  God.  [26] And  they were  all  amazed,  and  they glorified  God,  and  were filled  with fear,  saying,  strange things  to day.
