Matthew 9:1-7

Matthew 9:1-7 CSB

So he got into a boat, crossed over, and came to his own town. Just then some men brought to him a paralytic lying on a stretcher.

But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins” — then he told the paralytic, “Get up, take your stretcher, and go home.” So he got up and went home.
