17 Et il arriva, l’un de ces jours, qu’il enseignait. Et des pharisiens et des docteurs de la loi, qui étaient venus de chaque bourgade de Galilée, et de Judée, et de Jérusalem, étaient assis là, et la puissance du Seigneur était là pour les guérir.18 Et voici des hommes portant sur un lit un homme qui était paralysé; et ils cherchaient à l’introduire et à le mettre devant lui.19 Et ne trouvant pas par quel moyen ils pourraient l’introduire, à cause de la foule, ils montèrent sur le toit et le descendirent par les tuiles, avec son petit lit, au milieu, devant Jésus.20 Et voyant leur foi, il dit: Homme, tes péchés te sont pardonnés.21 Et les scribes et les pharisiens se mirent à raisonner, disant: Qui est celui-ci qui profère des blasphèmes? Qui peut pardonner les péchés, si ce n’est Dieu seul?22 Et Jésus, connaissant leurs pensées, répondant, leur dit: Pourquoi raisonnez-vous dans vos coeurs?23 Lequel est le plus facile, de dire: Tes péchés te sont pardonnés, ou de dire: Lève-toi et marche?24 Or, afin que vous sachiez que le fils de l’homme a le pouvoir sur la terre de pardonner les péchés (il dit au paralytique): Je te dis, lève-toi, et, prenant ton petit lit, va dans ta maison.25 Et à l’instant, s’étant levé devant eux, il prit le lit sur lequel il était couché, et s’en alla dans sa maison, glorifiant Dieu.26 Et ils furent tous saisis d’étonnement, et glorifiaient Dieu; et ils furent remplis de crainte, disant: Nous avons vu aujourd’hui des choses étranges.
Mark 2
1 And when he returned to Capernaum after some days, it was reported that he was at home.2 And many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even at the door. And he was preaching the word to them.3 And they came, bringing to him a paralytic carried by four men.4 And when they could not get near him because of the crowd, they removed the roof above him, and when they had made an opening, they let down the bed on which the paralytic lay.5 And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”6 Now some of the scribes were sitting there, questioning in their hearts,7 “Why does this man speak like that? He is blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?”8 And immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they thus questioned within themselves, said to them, “Why do you question these things in your hearts?9 Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Rise, take up your bed and walk’?10 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he said to the paralytic—11 “I say to you, rise, pick up your bed, and go home.”12 And he rose and immediately picked up his bed and went out before them all, so that they were all amazed and glorified God, saying, “We never saw anything like this!”
Matthew 9
1 And getting into a boat he crossed over and came to his own city.2 And behold, some people brought to him a paralytic, lying on a bed. And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Take heart, my son; your sins are forgiven.”3 And behold, some of the scribes said to themselves, “This man is blaspheming.”4 But Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, “Why do you think evil in your hearts?5 For which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Rise and walk’?6 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he then said to the paralytic—“Rise, pick up your bed and go home.”7 And he rose and went home.8 When the crowds saw it, they were afraid, and they glorified God, who had given such authority to men.
