Why do you have such wicked thoughts in your hearts?
 |
Matthew 9:1-7New Jerusalem Bible |
| 1 He got back in the boat, crossed the water and came to his home town. 2 And suddenly some people brought him a paralytic stretched out on a bed. Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralytic, ‘Take comfort, my child, your sins are forgiven.’ 3 And now some scribes said to themselves, ‘This man is being blasphemous.’ 4 Knowing what was in their minds Jesus said, ‘Why do you have such wicked thoughts in your hearts? 5 Now, which of these is easier: to say, “Your sins are forgiven,” or to say, “Get up and walk”? 6 But to prove to you that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins,’ — then he said to the paralytic-‘get up, pick up your bed and go off home.’ 7 And the man got up and went home. |
