Context Reading
3And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth. 4And Jesus knowing their thoughts said,Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts? 5For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk? 6But 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 go unto thine house. 7And he arose, and departed to his house.
