Jesus heals a paralyzed man 17One day when Jesus was teaching, Pharisees and legal experts were sitting nearby. They had come from every village in Galilee and Judea, and from Jerusalem. Now the power of the Lord was with Jesus to heal. 18Some men were bringing a man who was paralyzed, lying on a cot. They wanted to carry him in and place him before Jesus, 19but they couldn’t reach him because of the crowd. So they took him up on the roof and lowered him—cot and all—through the roof tiles into the crowded room in front of Jesus. 20When Jesus saw their faith, he said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.” 21The legal experts and Pharisees began to mutter among themselves, “Who is this who insults God? Only God can forgive sins!” 22Jesus recognized what they were discussing and responded, “Why do you fill your minds with these questions? 23Which is easier—to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’? 24But so that you will know that the Human Onehas authority on the earth to forgive sins”—Jesus now spoke to the man who was paralyzed,“I say to you, get up, take your cot, and go home.” 25Right away, the man stood before them, picked up his cot, and went home, praising God. 26All the people were beside themselves with wonder. Filled with awe, they glorified God, saying, “We’ve seen unimaginable things today.” Acts 20:24But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God. https://temtube.com/?p=5313
