they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and told it in the city and in the 35 country. Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind; and they were afraid. 36 They also which saw it, told them by what means he that was possessed of the devils 37 was healed. Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about, besought him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear. And he went up into the ship, and 38 returned back again. Now the man out of whom the devils were departed, besought him that he might be 39 with him. But Jesus sent him away, saying; Return to thine own house, and shew how great things God hath done unto thee. And he went his way, and published throughout the whole city, how great things Jesus had done unto him. MARK V. ed over again by ship unto the other side, much people gathered unto him ; and he was nigh unto the sea. 2 MATTHEW IX. And, behold, they brought | to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed. And Jesus seeing their faith, said unto the sick of the palsy ; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee. 3 And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves; This man blasphe4 meth. And Jesus knowing their thoughts, said; Wherefore think ye evil in your 5 hearts? For whether is easier? to say; Thy sins be forgiven? or to say; 6 Arise, and walk? But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins; (then saith he to the sick of the palsy ;) Arise, take up thy bed, and 7 go unto thine house. And he arose, and departed to 8 his house. But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, 1 MARK II. And again he entered into Capernaum after some days; and it was noised that 2 he was in the house. And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not SO much as about the door; and he preached the word unto 3 them. And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne 4 of four. And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof, where he was; and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed, wherein the sick of the palsy lay. When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, 6 thy sins be forgiven. But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts; 5 which had given such pow-7 Why doth this man thus er unto men. speak blasphemies? 'who can forgive sins but God on8 ly? And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them; Why reason ye these things in your hearts? LUKE V. 17 And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, which were come out of every town of Galilee and Judea, and Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was present to heal them. 18 And behold, men brought in a bed, a man which was taken with a palsy; and they sought means to bring him in, and to lay him before 19 him. And when they could not find by what way they might bring him in, because of the multitude, they went upon the house-top, and let him down through the tiling with his couch, into the 20 midst before Jesus. And when he saw their faith he said; Man, thy sins are for21 given thee. And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying; Who is this which speaketh blasphemies? who can forgive sins but 22 God alone? But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he, answering, said unto them; What reason ye in 23 your hearts? Whether is easier? to say; Thy sins be forgiven thee? or to say; MARK II. 9 Whether is it easier? to say to the sick of the palsy; Thy sins be forgiven? or to say; Arise, take up thy bed, 10 and walk? But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins; (he saith to 11 the sick of the palsy ;) I say unto thee; Arise, take up thy bed, and go thy way 12 into thine house. And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth. before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying; We never saw it on this fashion. 13 14 15 And he went forth again. by the sea-side; and all the multitude resorted unto him, and he taught them. And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alpheus, sitting at the receipt of custom, and said unto him; Follow me. And he arose and followed him. And it came to pass, that, as Jesus sat at meat in his house, many publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his disciples; for there were many, and they 16 followed him. And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with the publicans and sinners,. they said unto his disciples; How is it that he eateth and drink LUKE V. 24 Rise up and walk? But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy ;) I say unto thee; Arise, and take up thy couch, and 25 go into thine house. And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorify26 ing God. And they were all amazed, and they glorified God d; and were filled with fear, saying; We have seen strange things to-day. |
