Jesus Heals a Crippled Man
(Mt. 9:1–8; Lk. 5:17–26)
1A few days later, Jesus came back to Capernaum.
2Many, many people gathered to hear Jesus speak. The house was full. There was no place to stand, not even outside the door. Jesus was teaching these people.
3Some people brought a paralyzed (crippled) man to Jesus. Four men were carrying the paralyzed man.
4But they could not bring the man to Jesus because the house was full of people. So the men went to the roof above Jesus and made a hole in the roof. Then they lowered the mat with the paralyzed man on it.
5Jesus saw that these men had much faith. So Jesus said to the paralyzed man, “Young man, your sins are forgiven.”
6Some of the teachers of the law were sitting there. They saw what Jesus did, and they said to themselves,
7“Why does this man say things like that? He is saying things that are against God. Only God can forgive sins.”
8Jesus knew that these teachers of the law were thinking those things about him. So Jesus said to them, “Why do you have these questions in your minds?

10(2:9)
11“I tell you, stand up. Take your mat and go home.”
