Behold, they brought to him a man who was paralyzed, lying on a bed. Yeshua, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, *Son, cheer up! Your sins are forgiven you.*
The report about him went out into all Syria. They brought to him all who were sick, afflicted with various diseases and torments, possessed with demons, epileptics, and paralytics; and he healed them.
But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins...* (then he said to the paralytic), *Get up, and take up your mat, and go up to your house.*
The following night, the Lord stood by him, and said, *Cheer up, Sha'ul, for as you have testified about me at Yerushalayim, so you must testify also at Rome.*
