3 Y he aquí, algunos de los escribas decían dentro de sí: Este blasfema.

4 Y viendo Jesús sus pensamientos, dijo: ¿Por qué pensáis mal en vuestros corazones?

5 Porque, ¿qué es más fácil, decir: Los pecados te son perdonados; ó decir: Levántate, y anda?

6 Pues para que sepáis que el Hijo del hombre tiene potestad en la tierra de perdonar pecados, (dice entonces al paralítico): Levántate, toma tu cama, y vete á tu casa.

7 Entonces él se levantó y se fué á su casa.
