And his name -- by faith in his name -- has made this man strong whom you see and know, and the faith that is through Jesus[3] has given the man this perfect health in the presence of you all.
And behold, some people brought to him a paralytic, lying on a bed. And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "Take heart, my son; your sins are forgiven."
But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins" -- he then said to the paralytic -- "Rise, pick up your bed and go home."
