- While He was in one of the cities, behold, there was a man covered with leprosy; and when he saw Jesus, he fell on his face and implored Him, saying, "Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean."
- And He stretched out His hand and touched him, saying, "I am willing; be cleansed." And immediately the leprosy left him.
- And He ordered him to tell no one, "But go and show yourself to the priest and make an offering for your cleansing, just as Moses commanded, as a testimony to them."
- But the news about Him was spreading even farther, and large crowds were gathering to hear Him and to be healed of their sicknesses.
- But Jesus Himself would often slip away to the wilderness and pray.
|
- And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold a man full of leprosy: who seeing Jesus fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
- And he put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will: be thou clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him.
- And he charged him to tell no man: but go, and shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
- But so much the more went there a fame abroad of him: and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by him of their infirmities.
- And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed.
|
- One day He was teaching; and there were some Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting there, who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was present for Him to perform healing.
- And some men were carrying on a bed a man who was paralyzed; and they were trying to bring him in and to set him down in front of Him.
- But not finding any way to bring him in because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and let him down through the tiles with his stretcher, into the middle of the crowd, in front of Jesus.
- Seeing their faith, He said, "Friend, your sins are forgiven you."
- The scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, "Who is this man who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?"
|
- And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, which were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judaea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present to heal them.
- And, behold, men brought in a bed a man which was taken with a palsy: and they sought means to bring him in, and to lay him before him.
- And when they could not find by what way they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went upon the housetop, and let him down through the tiling with his couch into the midst before Jesus.
- And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.
- And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?
|
- But Jesus, aware of their reasonings, answered and said to them, "Why are you reasoning in your hearts?
- "Which is easier, to say, 'Your sins have been forgiven you,' or to say, 'Get up and walk'?
- "But, so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins,"--He said to the paralytic--"I say to you, get up, and pick up your stretcher and go home."
- Immediately he got up before them, and picked up what he had been lying on, and went home glorifying God.
- They were all struck with astonishment and began glorifying God; and they were filled with fear, saying, "We have seen remarkable things today."
|
- But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What reason ye in your hearts?
- Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk?
- 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 unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine house.
- And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.
- And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to day.
