“I tell you, stand up. Take your mat and go home.”
Jesus felt sorry for the man. So Jesus touched the man and said, “I want to heal you. Be healed!”
The paralyzed man stood up. He took his mat and walked out of the room. All the people could see him. The people were amazed and praised God. They said, “This is the most amazing thing we have ever seen!”
It is not the body that gives a person life. It is the spirit that gives life. The things I told you are spirit. And so these things give life.
