3 E eis que alguns dos escribas disseram entre si: Ele blasfema.

4 Mas Jesus, conhecendo seus pensamentos, disse: “Por que pensais o mal em vossos corações?

5 Pois o que é mais fácil? Dizer: ‘Teus pecados estão perdoados’, ou dizer: ‘Levanta-te, e anda’?

6 Ora, para que saibais que o Filho do homem tem autoridade na terra para perdoar pecados”, (Ele, então, disse ao paralítico): Levanta-te, toma o teu leito, e vai para tua casa.

7 E este se levantou e foi para sua casa.
