Luke 5:19 in Context — Luke 5

17 E aconteceu num daqueles dias que estava ensinando, e estavam [ali] sentados fariseus e instrutores da lei, que tinham vindo de todas as aldeias da Galileia, da Judeia, e de Jerusalém; e o poder do Senhor estava [ali] para os curar.

18 E eis que uns homens traziam numa cama um homem que estava paralítico; e procuravam levá-lo para dentro, a fim de o porem diante dele.

19 Como não acharam por onde pudessem levá-lo para dentro, por causa da multidão, subiram ao telhado, e pelas telhas o baixaram com o leito para o meio [do povo] , diante de Jesus.

20 Ele viu a fé deles, e disse-lhe: Homem, teus pecados são perdoados.

21 E os escribas e os fariseus começaram a questionar, dizendo: Quem é este que fala blasfêmias? Quem pode perdoar pecados, senão só Deus?
