Matthew 9:6 BBE

⁴  And Jesus, having knowledge of what was in their minds, said, Why are your thoughts evil?

⁵  For which is the simpler, to say, You have forgiveness for your sins; or to say, Get up and go?

⁶  But so that you may see that on earth the Son of man has authority for the forgiveness of sins, (then said he to the man who was ill,) Get up, and take up your bed, and go to your house.

⁷  And he got up and went away to his house.

⁸  But when the people saw it they were full of fear, and gave glory to God who had given such authority to men.
