Matthew 9:4 in Context — Matthew 9

2 Et voici, on lui amena un paralytique couché sur un lit. Jésus, voyant leur foi, dit au paralytique: Prends courage, mon enfant, tes péchés te sont pardonnés.

3 Sur quoi, quelques scribes dirent au-dedans d’eux: Cet homme blasphème.

4 Et Jésus, connaissant leurs pensées, dit: Pourquoi avez-vous de mauvaises pensées dans vos cœurs?

5 Car, lequel est le plus aisé, de dire: Tes péchés sont pardonnés, ou de dire: Lève-toi, et marche?

6 Or, afin que vous sachiez que le Fils de l’homme a sur la terre le pouvoir de pardonner les péchés: Lève-toi, dit-il au paralytique, prends ton lit, et va dans ta maison.
