[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.
